Tsvangirai's secret engagement
29 May 2015 at 16:01hrs | Views
They say in a country of blind people one eyed man becomes the king. MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai's remarks at a Kuwadzana rally that Zanu-PF officials are secretly engaging him over his election boycott only make sense to those who are politically blind.
Tsvangirai's parrot Luke Tamborinyoka had the guts to refer to the alleged secret talks as strategic. Strategy orchestrated by Tsvangirai? Certainly this qualifies as a monumental joke given Tsvangirai's plurality of foolishness when it comes to strategic management.
I would want to believe Tamborinyoka was speaking in jest when he made the strategy remark. Where on earth was a strategy hinted on a public forum especially when the opponent or victim to be is listening? Am sure cards are supposed to be played by the chest, perhaps he had run out of word when he spoke to the reporters as the usual rhetoric no longer hold water.
Tsvangirai is empirically barren in the field of strategic reasoning. No plan or strategy of his has ever yielded anything dating back to 2005 where he lost a reasonable number of supporters to Welshman Ncube. Recently he lost again at least 21 parliamentarians to Tendai Biti and of late Thokozani Khupe is being persecuted for not nodding to Tsvangirai's so called strategies.
The few mentioned examples are testimonial of Tsvangirai's strategies which have best worked against him resulting in fissures breakaways or splinters, name them in the MDC.
Dumiso Dabengwa is crying foul already in Bulawayo with Tsvangirai's scotched earth election campaign method of election boycott which is crippling his breakthrough in the region. The black Russian immediately prophesied doom over the inception of a grant coalition of opposition political parties as the dogmatic Tsvangirai unleashes unpopular electoral stance.
His ‘no reform no election' is hindering ZAPU to campaign effectively since Tsvangirai made a fore run telling the same targeted voters to boycott election.
Indeed, Tsvangirai is an advocate for democratic confusion through his inconsiderate political blunders guised as strategies.
With the current trend of events in the MDC-T it is empirically evident that Tsvangirai lost the political gist long time ago when academics such as Professor Welshman Ncube started jumping out of his ship after realising the captain is redundant when it comes to clear cut decision making and the ability to manoeuvre and negotiate not only visible but catastrophic political impediments.
He surely cannot reignite the spark of 1999 through his election boycott and all sorts of calls on barbarism. This is simply because the electorate has grown out of being lied to and being taken as pawns on the chase board especially for the prime aim of satisfying individual ambitions.
Believe me or not some people in the MDC-T camp will forever rue the day they ever made the resolution of joining the political party. The only reason keeping them there is, they are ashamed to play the prodigal son. However, nation building takes patriotic bravado to swallow the pride and reconnect with pro development ideas than clinging to a collapsed entity altogether.
An emperor without clothes, we can see you Tsvangirai, there is no strategy. You are actually busy inviting Zanu-PF to engage and catapult you out of this election boycott mess.
