Gutu advise purged Zanu PF leaders 'to continue lavishing praise' on Mugabe - some stupid advice

No one of any substance (there is a whole army of CIO agents, the modern day Dzakutsaku on Smith day, a curse to this nation as their forerunners were in their time) who can ever dispute the fact that all those being purged from Zanu PF are being punished for daring to exercise their basic right to choose who the two Vice Presidents of Zanu PF were going to be. A right Mugabe has since surreptitiously since taken away to add to his already excessive powers to hire and fire all the members of the party's politburo – the supreme decision making body of the party.

All the other charges being labelled against the purged members like corruption, chilazing, etc.;  although many are true, they are however all spurious in that they are historic and they target only those who had supported Mai Mujuru when these problems are common to all party members.

It is the reaction of those fired Zanu PF officials that has both surprised and disappointed most men and women of substance; they all turned the other cheek.

After months of being harangued and having her name blackened by none other than Grace Mugabe herself and denied the opportunity to defend her honour and then summarily elbowed out of the way in the party and sacked from government Mai Mujuru took it all on the chin. She said she would not contest anything but instead thank Mugabe for having appointed her to serve in government. All her supporters who were purged with her followed her lead.

"The firing was perfectly legal," said former deputy minister of Justice Legal and parliamentary Affairs, Fortune Chasi.

"The chief executive officer of the country is entitled to change his team from time to time on the basis of non-performance or he could simply want to refocus his team and I have got no hard feelings whatsoever."

But that is just it; the purge had nothing to do performance, etc. but everything to do with a tyrant usurping the party members' rights to a meaningful say in who leads the party just as he had usurped the ordinary Zimbabweans rights to a meaning say in who rules the country a year ago. What is surprising and disappointing is that none of these leaders had the guts to stand up and stop this relentless erosion of the individual freedoms and human rights and dignity by a tyrant whose greed and lust for absolute power in insatiable.

On second thoughts; no one of any substance should be really surprised that none of these Zanu PF leaders dared to challenge Mugabe. They have all these years ridden roughshod over the people's hopes and dreams with the same cold-hearted indifference as Mugabe himself; they are all tyrants just like him in their own way. For them to accuse him of being a tyrant would have been the hypocrisy of a hyena denouncing another hyena for eating meat as if he was a vegetarian.

So in a way it is good that Mai Mujuru, Chasi and all the other Zanu PF leaders purged from the party have spared us the virtuous pontificating and platitudes. Sadly there was no such lucky from Harvest House; MDC-T spokesman, Obert Gutu, is one not to miss the opportunity preach a sermon.  
"All tyrants crave to be hero-worshipped and eulogised; in ZANU PF merit counts for nothing. If you want to remain on the feeding table, you have to continue lavishing praise on the supreme leader in a cult kind of fashion," he said.

All the MDC leaders should know only too well about hero-worshipping and eulogising the tyrant; it was all they ever did throughout the five years of the GNU!

There is no one of substance in Harvest House because nothing of substance ever comes out of there and just to prove the point Mr Gutu is wittering about "lavishing praise" on the tyrant to keep one's place at the table. He is talking about men and women who have done all that and more all their lives but are now being booted off the table.

MDC wasted five years lavishing praise on Mugabe and did absolutely nothing regarding implementing the democratic reforms just to appease the tyrant. And yet come the elections the tyrant kicked them all in the teeth and threw them off the gravy train. Of all people Obert Gutu should now know appeasing a tyrant is a waste of time!
 
There is nothing in this world more annoying than being in trouble and a presumptuous an idiot offering you stupid advice! "If you want to remain on the feeding table, you have to continue lavishing praise on the supreme leader!" Indeed!
