Comrade Morgan Mugabe?

Some fellow countrymen would probably forget events of history, but some of us would never forget whatever we have committed to memory. They say, "the axe forget, BUT the tree will never forget the cut".

What am I talking about here? After foiled attempt of an imagined palace coup by Tendai Biti and his power hungry cabals during their Mandel kangaroo meeting to unseat the constitutionally elected president of the greatest movement in the soil of Zimbabwe - the MDC-T, he went perambulating and bragging like a hero of madness. He initiated salvo attacks on the life and person of Morgan Tsvangirai. Addressing a handful of supporters in Masvingo, the charlatan Biti said if Morgan Tsvangirai and MDC-T are going to win the case of recalling him and the other 20 MPs from parliament, he will surely change his name to MORGAN MUGABE.

I thought as a well-respected constitutional law pundit he would easily know that after being fired from the party for his power ravening, he no longer represents the interest of MDC-T party in parliament. Thumps up to honourable Douglas Mwonzora who by knowing the operation of law, continued pressing the matter with parliament that the rebellious Biti and his friends must be recalled without doubt.

Though, I don't love ZANU-PF, I congratulate Speaker Jacob Mudenda (though he earlier side-tracked), for  finally making a ruling to expel the so called intellectual Biti and his acolytes to their shame. Indeed it was on egg on their face, as their parliamentary benefits were ceased and some of his cliques became bad debtors failing to pay arrears. Biti thought it will be mysterious if a baboon fall from the tree, while to his misled friends, it was like a white pumpkin inviting trouble for the black ones.

These guys thought they are renewing MDC-T yet they were renewing the road  their grave yard. It reminds me of the Fallen Angel theory- which narrates how the once glorious Lucifer as an angel of God was expelled from heaven after a thwarted attempt to rebel against the heavens. To publicise his folly among the wise, Biti launched a baseless legal challenge with the constitutional court, just for wasting time after their recall when he knew he will lose. It boggles the mind! I was extremely caught at sixes and sevens when the malevolent master-minder dodged the day of judgement, and instead chose to fly into the USA for pieces of silver and gold from the Negros. What a sell-out of brethren? You hoodwink 20 Members of Parliament to rebel and dump them in the dungeon of muddle.  Ooh poor Mafume, Matienga, Madzore and so on! A full bench of the constitutional court passed a binding verdict in the absence of the handler (Biti) and reinstated the position of the MDC-T.

Compatriots didn't sympathise more with the cowardice Biti, BUT with the gullible 20 MPs. How can they fail to apprehend that Biti has nothing to offer but just an agent of division, a master of deception, a man of ‘'BIG ENGLISH'' and vocabulary that adds nothing to the aspirations of suffering masses. Politics is not all about oratory and charming, but the love for "povo" and taking them to their dreamland even in simple vocabulary. Biti is just an orator who feared waiting for the congress in 2016 to challenge Tsvangirai. He chose to stage a fake National Council of 33 council member out the authorised 195 council member which questions his logical and mathematical functioning considering the quorum regulations he knew as the then Secretary General and the custodian of the of the party`s administration (take note that the 168 member he claimed to have at Mandel, only 33 were eligible to attend, the rest were just ghosts members to satisfy Biti`s conspiracies- attendance register can vindicate this submission). In a nutshell he feared elective congress against the backdrop of losing to "Save".

Anywhere, my late grandfather told me that anything that ensue in life, do so for a noteworthy cause. The Almighty God is always there in some unfolding events that the carnal mind might assume is confusion. To Biti and the Renewal Team, it was renewing the movement- BUT for why? However to the MDC-T family, it was a natural process of cleansing, thus removing chuff from grains at the right appointed time.

After a while drinking with the American Negros, Biti nicodemuosly flew back into the country and started to console and propel his embarrassed cronies by saying, "l have brought the bag of money from the Americans and they are supporting me for new Zimbabwe." Still, Mafume and company believed the trickster and started burning midnight candles, organising violence and scheming to their own sobriquet hero - Mangoma until he broke ranks, packed his bags to build his own political nest in disarray.

Now that Mr Biti and the Renewal Team, you lost the case and were recalled, the year is coming to an end, I and masses of Zimbabwe who never forgets what you said that day in Masvingo are still waiting for yet another kangaroo meeting, or be it a press conference, where you will announce your new name "Morgan Mugabe". By the way, no one knows what that name means, perhaps you can explain! Congratulation as Mr Mudede will issue you a new ID with your new name, Comrade Morgan Mugabe as you professed?
