Elnino effect a blessing in disguise for Zimbabwe

The current dry spell being experienced in Zimbabwe and other southern African countries which is attributed to the Elnino effect will definitely act as a precipitant to a revolution in Zimbabwe the same way the cold weather and bad harvest did to the French revolution of 1789 that brought liberties and freedoms to the people of France, Europe and the world at large. Who said history will never repeat itself?

For starters, natural disasters have a compelling effect on conservative people such as Zimbabweans who have deep-rooted beliefs that these occurrences spell of an impending doom or catastrophe triggered by the anger of the gods. For reference sake, the rinderpest and occurrence of droughts acted as catalyst for the First Chimurenga and by the same standard the consequences of this natural phenomenon will press a revolt button in the hearts of the relatively docile Zimbabweans. And it is the divine interpretations given to this phenomenon that edify the embers of revolution.

From the very onset of his rule Mugabe has been clearing and cultivating a fertile ground for a revolution. A myriad of problems have being churned out one after the other from the Gukurahundi massacre, villagisation of the economy through populist policies such as the indigenisation and chaotic land reform least we talk of the extravagant spending of his second wife Grace who is now turning the entire state into her bedroom. Our youths have since time immemorial being turned into airtime vendors or touts. Industries are closing down at an alarming rate, the once vibrant economy has been turned into a "supermarket economy", there is glaring poverty in the countrysides whilst urban poverty has also become the order of the day. Whilst Zimbabwe is burning Mugabe and his extravagant and insensitive wife are wining and dining on holiday in Asia. The octogenarian and his wife have now become a liability to the country and are now synonymous of Louis xiv and queen Marie Antonette respectively. The infamous queen once retorted that if there is no bread on market  let the people eat cake…..the same with the disgraceful Grace who recently claimed that Mugabe is among the poorest in Zimbabwe whilst addressing the poverty-stricken people of Mberengwa in one of her wasteful and fiscus-draining  rallies.

The gods are not pleased with the privatization of the Madzimbabwe state by Mugabe and his cronies. The once vibrant jewel of Africa is now a basket case thanks to Mugabe's 36 year rule of unprecedented corruption and an artful act of mismanagement. Chaminuka, Nehanda and Umulugulu and the likes of Hebert Chitepo, Josiah Magama Tongogara and Alfred Nikita Mangena among other revolutionaries  must be turning in their graves. Is this the Zimbabwe they all sacrificed their lives for? Surely, our departed heroes now want a democratic Zimbabwe where rule of law, freedom of expression and separation of powers are not only enshrined in a constitution but adhered to in an environment conducive to every Zimbabwean. SADC has been unwillingly to resolve the Zimbabwean crisis and the gods have also extended this bad omen to them.

There is no doubt the biting effect of the Elnino is and will be felt across the breadth and length of Zimbabwe. To date even the so called drought resistant crops are wilting and the few pockets of water bodies are fast running dry. The revolutionary orgasm is fast getting pace, rural teachers took their grievances to the streets of Harare and the touts from Chaminuka's land turned Chitungwiza into a war zone. There is no vein of doubt that things are falling apart for Mugabe and his disgraceful dynasty that was once anchored on pillage of our natural resources, brute force and a subtle abuse of the history of the liberation struggle.
It is no longer a fantasy but a pre-determined case for uncle Bob. Ask his lieutenant, Mr. Hotel Mboko on this subject he will surely agree that Elnino is not an western conspiracy but the gods are not happy that he is junior to Dis-Grace Mugabe hence this punishment. It's an abomination for a man with colorful liberation credentials such as his to be beholden to Mugabe's former pool typist.

2016 is the year to untie this bondage of oppression. No amount of violence, corruption and patronage will stop the train of liberty whose driver is the Lord. It is God's time and l shudder to imagine Mugabe going against the tide this time around. In summation, let me drop this famous quote from the "one and only professor" in Zimbabwe who uses his academic acumen to sustain this oppressive system writing in 2005.
"Perennial wisdom from revelation and human experience dictates that all earthly things great or small, beauty or ugly, foolish or wise must finally come to an end. It is from this sobering reality that the end of executive rule has finally come for Robert Mugabe who had his better days after 25 years in power," the Croc buster.

The MDC has been brutalized, the Zimbabweans at large cowed, the Western countries demonized but surely this Elnino effect will endure all sorts shenanigans thrown on its way by ZANU PF.Indeed, the end is nigh for Baba Chatunga if Zimbabweans take heed of this silent call for a revolution which mother nature has put forward.
