The gukurahundist regime has pushed itself in a tight corner

"We have decided to use the enemy currency because he cannot devalue his currency."
The above high sounding statement made the nucleus of Zanu-pf's propaganda in defence of the use of the US dollar in 2009. By then their currency, the Zim dollar, had made a spectacular slide into the bottomless pit as a result of economic mismanagement, high inflation, corruption, greed and political instability.
Was this the beginning of some sort of cat and mouse game or someone was sleep walking into the trap of the so called enemy? It was Zanu-pf introducing the use of George's Bush's money as a main currency. Accepting it in totality, complete with all American symbols and features on it, heads of former presidents and signatures of secretaries and treasurers of the US. How is that for an arrogant revolutionary party surrendering its financial sovereignty to its so called enemy?
They sounded like were on top of the situation, had found the lasting solution to their economic woos and, had finally tamed their so called enemy by using his money.
But in reality they were looking at one side of the coin, that of devaluation, a problem that had been terrorising them in the last few years. In total ignorance of the other side; the ramifications of using your "enemy currency". Caught napping!
This is unbelievable. But believe it or not, this is Zanupf we are talking about here.
In 2007, a spirit medium and grade 3 drop out, Nomatter Tagarira assembled top Zunu-pf cabinet ministers including Minister of defence, Sydney Sekeramayi, then Minister of National intelligence, Didymus Mutasa, and then Minister of Home Affairs, Kembo Mohadi, and others at a mountain in Chinhoyi to demonstrate the ritual of extracting diesel fuel from the rocks.
While Mutasa, Sekeramayi and crew were looking, Nomatter, dressed in her full traditional regalia, shook her head as if in a trance, said a few words and there was a fountain of diesel before their eyes coming out of a rock.
An eye to eye smile on Mutasa and Sekeramayi's faces, especially Didymus Mutasa signature smile said it all. The gullible Ministers believed that indeed Nomatter Tagarira had the ability to produce diesel fuel from a dry granite rock. And that she was an answer to the country's crippling fuel shortages.
For that she was given £1,7m, a farm, an armed guard, food and on one occasion, 50 vehicle convoy to carry out her rituals.
Little did they know that high above them on a rock hidden in the bushes Tagarira's assistant would open a secrete fuel pump and send fuel gushing down the rock.
In 2009 the naïve chaps did not need the trickery of Nomatter Tagarira when they announced the adoption of "enemy currency" but their feeble minds and lack of vision. In the same way they failed to sense that someone was turning on a tap behind the rocks of Chinhoyi mountain trick them , they failed to foresee disadvantages of using "enemy currency."
Now they are faced with a plethora of problems. Sitting on expensive locally produced goods that they could not sell either to the local market or export. Liquidity crunch, extenalisation of cash, money hoarding, failure to pay civil servants on time to name just a few.
The proposed solution to the above problems is as shocking as the introduction of bearer cheques.
The surrogate currency or bond notes are feared like the Zim dollar itself.
The surrogate mother is the US dollar the "enemy currency". My face book friend would burst into laughter when we discuss matters such as these hehehehehehe!
Who's head is on the US dollar? Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar.
The fractured party of war vets, war collaborators, war mongers, militarised politicians and gukurahundists has pushed its self into a tight corner. Raging Succession wars plus an economy on a downward spiral equals impliosion of the regime.
Never before had 5 indices that point to the rebirth of the state of Matabeleland have manifested themselves. Akuyengasifudlana. We refuse to be led by a gullible government that was conned by a grade 3 drop out into believing that diesel can flow out of rocks. We refuse to be ruled by visionless regime that does not understand the econometrics, incompetent bunch of fools who have lost their financial sovereignty to a foreign government. We refuse to be led by backward people who think that discriminating people based on tribal lines, killing and raping innocent people is nation building. We refuse to pay a growing 16 billion debt which we do not benefit from.
Matabeleland is not Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe is not Matabeleland.
Republic of Matabeleland by 2018!
