'Big Sister' Mujuru Dictator on the Making
10 Feb 2016 at 07:21hrs | Views
The obscured People First (PF) leader, 'Big Sister' Joyce Mujuru is headed for political doom as her counter-parts in opposition politics crying foul as they are labeling her a dictator, before she has even started campaigning for her ambitious aspired political office.
Mujuru illustrated an arrogant spirit of rigidity through the PF spokesperson, Rugare Gumbo, who recently was frothing gibbering gibberish full of venom which has sent tongues wagging when he is quoted as saying, "Yes, as PF, our candidate is Mujuru. Those who do not want her should bring their own alternative. We cannot go into negotiations without our own candidate."
This was a show of false political muscle as PF is dictating the standard operational procedure for the anticipated grand coalition formalities are poised to collapse and crumble, considering that the contending parties are poles apart n terms of how they wish the talks to proceed.
PF is accused of boasting as 'Big Sister' and/or 'Big Brother' and taking other parties as junior partners that are supposed to take instructions from their elders. While in actual fact, the negotiations are expected to treat all partners as equals.
This precedence set by PF is more than detrimental, and is aimed at throwing heavy spanners into the whole process. It is a pity that Mujuru has started too early to elicit some dictatorial tendencies. That level of political selfishness should be swept to the dust-bins.
Besides, some political parties like MDC-T are equally reluctant to bow-down to this buffoonery. Its leader, Morgan Tsvangirai is equally bubbling, considering himself as the most indispensible opposition leader in this country. This is despite the fact that, since formation of MDC in 1999, he has never won any election.
This defines the quality of opposition leaders that we have in Zimbabwe that are infamous for lack of vision.
Joyce Mujuru was sacked from ZANU-PF for pursuing a selfish secessionist agenda which defied the set-out procedures on such matters. Her insatiable zeal and desire for political office cost her a fortune and destroyed all of her promising political prospects in the country. It is still clear that she holds the same idiomatic way of doing politics. Certainly how can someone be so full of own-self to the extent of perceiving herself as the prime opposition leader in this country?
This puts the grand coalition into doubt as Mujuru and Tsvangirai are like water and oil which do of mix.
