Joker of the year tag team Phelekezela Mphoko and Absalom Sikhosana

Phelekezela's statement that he and Dabengwa resorted to urine to avert a massive thirst pang down in the jungle during the struggle, together with Absalom's unwarranted ‘down with Dabengwa slogans'.
It has come to our attention that Phelekezela Mphoko and his Zanu's cabals led by Robert Mugabe are seeing shadows of Dr. Dumiso Dabengwa at every turn.
It is so disappointing to note that these so called pseudo liberators who have turned to be the black oppressors have tried for the past few years to try and disown one of the most revered and honored member of the liberation struggle.
It remains boldly imprinted in the minds of every Zimbabwean of whichever generation that the role played by Dr. Dabengwa during the liberation struggle is unmatched.
It should be considered that Dr.Dumiso Dabengwa has a track record that a lot of the Zanu thugs envy and the very reason that they spiritedly- fruitlessly though- try and soil Dr. Dabengwa's humble but lofty political and liberation credentials.
ZAPU notes with disgust that the comments of the so called third most powerful man in the land who has lost his marbles (and can't find them anywhere) shows the nation of how his huge physical frame is devoid of the much needed wisdom crucial for a progressive leader to possess in trying to discredit one of the most decorated man in the land.
Dabengwa is a principled man who has always fought for the democratic rights of every Zimbabwean regardless of colour, race, creed, tribe or political persuasion.
His voluntary resignation from the high offices of a corrupt Zanu establishment in 2008, turning his back to the comfy lifestyle of the ruling Zanu elite to voice the wishes of the masses despite a very limited resource base is a living testament to his visionary sight.
Dabengwa and the people of Zimbabwe will definitely make sure that Mphoko and his Zanu cabal will never see the political light of 2018.
The sensational claims at these particular campaign rallies in Bulawayo- where ZANU and its candidates actually ought to have been selling their brand to the electorate and proffering solutions to mounting economic and social woes bedeviling the country- goes on to show how clueless ZANU is in rescuing the Zimbabwean masses that is swimming in the deep waters of poverty.
It hence also follows that our 70 year-old youth Absolom Sikhosana must desist from this slogan which calls for the death of Dr. Dabengwa. Instead Dr. Dabengwa himself as a credible man will never wish for the death of any man or Zimbabwean but will always wish for the collective success of Zimbabweans.
It is in this spirit that ZAPU's concept and ideology of devolution of power to all provinces, in which every province will determine its own destiny, will help unlock the potential of every being and province in our great land- Zimbabwe.
For the record, no amount of intimidation and violence towards Dr. Dumiso Dabengwa, ZAPU or the impoverished mass will prosper.
Albeit the hostile election environment, as ZAPU, we are for the elections and we shall win the election. Come post the June 10 elections, we shall be there to ensure that there will be the gnashing of teeth in parliament.
As a matter of fact ZAPU is offering a solution to the ill-governance of Zanu. We therefore urge Mphoko and his bosses to come clean of their failure and seek a lasting remedy from the tried and tested revolutionary ZAPU brand which was the first to denounce white minority rule, leading a fruitful protracted fight through its ZIPRA military wing.
Zimbabweans are one and their position is one. They need jobs, food, financial stability, quality healthcare, a vibrant education system, productive and transparent ownership of resources and also freedom after speech among other provisions as expected in a democratic state. They need a secure future which ZAPU is ready to deliver!
