Chief Ndiweni, now regards Mr Mpoko as a person with people at heart because of Maleme debacle.
Of course we expected nothing less from him.
The government was exposed and their double standards clearly washed in the court of public opinion.
In the first place the biggest expose was the patronage system towards land reform. Because Mashingaidze is in the intelligence system it was easy for his application to be granted yet we have applications dating back to 2000 not yet allocated.
It seems working in the presidents office creates super citizens who are above the law and populace.
Obvious it could be rewards for toeing the line and keeping the present family in power at all costs including subjecting citizens to worst forms of horror and oppression.
What is disgusting is people were not expected to raise hell but docily accept their removal from the farm at Maleme.
The people refused clearly to budge and make way for Mashingaidze in show of unity. They should remain united and be vigilant in case they start being abducted.
We are then witnesses to Zanu Pf charade as Mphoko seeking cheap popularity and instead of showing power like Mahofa at his office decides, to wade like a musketeer into Maleme.
He could have simply issued directives from his office and the matter could have been considered dealt with.
Instead typical of Zanu Pf he had to be the messiah and steal the thunder from the people of Maleme. He forgot that he represented the same people who were causing pain and dehumanising these people shamelessly.
To create a situation and then come in and act as saviour is the lowest ebb for political relevancy.
We salute the people of Maleme for their bravery and tact in the face of brutality which brought memories of Bhalagwe, Sun Yet San and other Gukurahundi holding camps.
We salute the people of Maleme for showing us unity and resolve which is clearly required in Zimbabwe at large, moreso now with the violation of individual rights, constitution and a pointer that republicanism is in danger from mornachical tendencies clothed in loyalty .
We call upon Zimbabweans from all walks of life to realise that only ourselves will change our circumstances and restore our dignity as a people and a republic.
IDALE - YONKE INDAWO!! SIYALUNGISAA!!
