MP is naïve to think being kicked out of Zanu PF is the worst to happen to him!

Zanu PF MP for Chipinge South and former Central Committee member Enoch Porusingazi who was suspended by the politburo last week for five years for factionalism (a new made-up party crime for all those who dared support VP Mujuru) said he was not aware of his charges as he was never summoned to appear before any disciplinary committee.
"I am surprised, shocked and heartbroken because I still do not have the charges against me, I do not know the offence I committed," he said.
What will real shock and break our MP's heart is knowing being kicked out of the party is only the beginning of his troubles.
As a very senior member of this party of corrupt and oppressive thugs he must be away of the many serious crimes the party committed on the innocent and defenceless people of Zimbabwe including distraction of property, harassment, beating, rape, vote rigging and even murder. None of the victims were ever brought before any court of law; Zanu PF thugs became the accusers, the judges and the executioners and thus confirm that Zanu PF thugs are the law and above the law.
Our honourable MP of Chipinge South was never offended or shocked by Zanu PF thuggery all these years, not until now.
Now that he is the victim of the lawlessness he is shocked that he is punished without being charged and brought before a duly appointed disciplinary committee, etc. So all these years he has understood the essence of one is innocent until charged and found guilty following due process; he never thought that it applied to ordinary Zimbabweans who are, at best, third class citizens to him and his fellow Zanu PF thugs.
MP Porusingazi, now that you have been stripped of your Zanu PF thug first class citizen status and are therefore no longer above the law; we, the people of Zimbabwe, now look forward to a full account of your lawlessness of the last 34 years. This time you will be brought before a court of law and if you cannot afford a lawyer one will be appointed for you.
After 34 years of thuggery and lawlessness it is no surprise that many people in Zanu PF were cocksure the party will rule "until the donkeys have horns", as Simon Khaya Moyo said, and never ever face justice. The wheels of justice turn, in this cases they were agonisingly slow, and yet here we are justice has caught up with MP Porusingazi, Rugare Gumbo, Jabulani Sibanda and a few others. The wheel of justice, it turns!
In one instance Mugabe stripped PM Porusingazi and others their tortoise shell Zanu PF cloak leaving they defenceless against Zanu PF thuggery but also accountable the common laws of justice and human decency that govern the rest of us. Not even one donkey has a goose-pimple of a horn and yet their rule of terror is over! All they can look forward to is their day in court and then some quality time of quiet reflection in prison.
Porusingazi, it is payback time! Or as one would say in Shona, "Samanyika Porusingazi, chamakadya chamuka!"
