Silly season for Didymus Mutasa

Inasmuch as laws are like sausages which most of us would not want to witness their manufacturing, the same goes with democratic processes which certainly involve the toleration of a plurality of idiocy. It is only when fools have been naturally chucked out that they then tout the irregularities and childishness of the processes.

As part of his contribution to the so called childish factions in ZANU PF, Didymus Mutasa coined the term "gamatox". With such a remarkable impact, Mutasa thus becomes the most unfit person to declare that alleged factions in Zanu PF are childish.

Perhaps Mutasa is envisaging a silly season by what is happening in ZANU PF politics. However, that has little much to do with him and his shadowy people first project. The nine fingered veteran is actually being childish to think that ZANU PF is a show being run by the kindergartens. If it has to be, then the kindergartens are strong enough such that they stripped him of various accolades that he had bestowed himself.

Childishly, he had overestimated his influence resulting in him being up for serious crimes such as treason to mention just but this blasphemous act. He fondly thought he was invincible. One would think he learnt his lessons but this is never to be because of one reason.

"Mutasa is always in a perpetual childish mode."

Remember he is one of the inept ministers who misled the nation that a n'anga in Chinhoyi had uncanny power to extract diesel from a rock. Now someone has to be in light to notice his indulgences in the silly season.
His room for the supernatural accommodates all faculties of foolishness. With the powers he wielded then, he was unstoppable by his peers and dragged government into disrepute.

Like it is a norm to have a fool in each village, recognizing one in your community becomes of paramount importance. Failure to do so might mean you are the fool. However, ZANU PF realized it had a pack of fools whose ego god was Mutasa. Soon enough Mutasa and his pack fell from grace and found themselves in the cold.

Thus, indeed politics is a dirty game and it means exactly that. For Mutasa and cronies they soiledtheir hands and even doing worse by mudslinging and bickering for relevance.

Mutasa can save face and take time to rest. They say it is never too late to aspire in life but this applies in certain areas not issues to do with governing a nation. Surely, there is nothing new Zimbabwe can benefit from Mutasa.

For those in the business already, they can offer the necessary guidance but a start over with an old horse of Mutasa's type is a fallacy for the People First.

Mutasa can however, be applauded for timeously coming to terms with the fact that ZANU PF cannot be split. At the end of the iron sharpen iron era, ZANU PF will emerge stronger, a tried and tested phenomenon.

Coalition is for the splintered MDC formations and the premature People First. No sane revolutionaries can depart a mainstream political party for a somewhat ill-fated cluster of political vagabonds.
