I am not going anywhere now, Cdes?

Dear Cabinet and Politburo members
COMRADES, I think you all have seen the huge crowds that have turned out in solidarity with the leadership in the recent days whenever there has been idle talk from regime change agents… this is exactly the reason why we must press on regardless of such reckless and ill-informed statements from our detractors.
Every time those of our people, who have sold their souls to the devil broach the regime change subject, the people get very angry. You all saw it at last week's meeting between the party's leadership and our war veterans, when some of our Cdes were actually fainting out of shock that there could be people in this country who are indulging in treasonous dreams of a life without the party's current leadership.
This is the reality on the ground that no one should feign ignorance of … our able leadership has endeared us to the people so much that they do not want to think of a day without our able leadership … yet you get some people in the West claiming that we use brute force and threats to retain power.
Did any of those people appear like they came to those impromptu meetings at gunpoint?
If the truth is to be told, we all want to rest and spend quality time with our families, but we can't even think of it without feeling like we are forsaking the people. These people are always begging us to continue leading them, and who are we to refuse them their wish, especially when God and the gods are on our side?
I know some of you are stoking the succession fires in the party from behind the scenes … be warned that if the people discover it, you will be out in the cold with the other sell-outs. You should not say you were not warned.
I know there were some who thought I should have intervened last week when Cde Mandi tore into some of you… that Cde was talking on behalf of the people and it is these people who know what is going on at the grassroots level, where someone they can plant those ideas as a way of testing your popularity.
My advice is: Do whatever you do, but never get caught by the people… many are now in the dustbins of history as we speak.
Don't ever say you were not warned.
Kindest Regards
Yours Sincerely
ME
… AND CZ'S NOTEBOOK
Good
Things could be getting better much sooner than many could be anticipating… we say so after noticing the feral wars that are raging in both the ruling Zanu-PF and the opposition MDC-T parties … these wars are very good.
War veterans, who were until recently, President Robert Mugabe's trusted battle axes, are causing lots of trouble in Zanu-PF, making all sorts of demands - demands that Dr CZ cannot repeat without inviting trouble in his direction.
We are being told that these war veterans are being rented out by some of the country's sworn detractors. Whether this is true or not, we do not care, the most important thing is that they are telling Zimbabweans some of the truths that all along we thought they did not know. Maybe it was high time someone listened to these war veterans instead of arresting them one after the other like what has been happening.
It looks like the succession wars that are raging in Zanu-PF are also playing out in the MDC-T… the race to succeed Morgan Tsvangirai - who is fighting off cancer of the colon - seems to have started in earnest, that is if the cutthroat fights and back-biting that is going on in the party are anything to go by. Chances are high that the party is going to slough off yet another thick skin anytime from now. Whatever the results might be, we just hope they would be good for democracy. Let us wait and see.
Typical
We were not at all amused by media reports suggesting that during a month or so that Christopher Mbanga found himself being acting mayor of the capital city by default, half of the city's immovable assets were put on the market. Mbanga in his own wisdom that he picked from his days during the Zimbabwe-Rhodesia era, decided to sell capital assets in order to pay salaries. He wanted to sell more than 100 of the city's properties in order to raise US$20 million urgently. Thoughtless as he is, it did not occur to him that it made more sense to chase after the city's residents who owe the authority about US$350 million in unpaid service bills.
Dr CZ can smell a rat here. It looks like it was a scam meant to present an opportunity to some well-connected individuals to pick prime immovable properties in the city for next to nothing. Had this decision been made by the city's substantive mayor, Barnard Manyenyeni, we can assure you that as we speak, he would have been locked up somewhere for corruption.
We are told something similar happened in Gweru when the city's fathers were illegally suspended by Local Government Minister, Saviour Kasukuwere.
Fiasco
We note with much amusement that Zimbabwe Football Association (FIFA) president, Cde Phillip Chiyangwa, has started a social media campaign to ask Zimbos to donate towards the funding of the outfit that he is trying to rechristen the National Football Association of Zimbabwe. He appears on videos he is posting on social media begging for various amounts of money, which he claims would go towards motivating national team soccer players - both the Warriors and the Mighty Warriors - blah, blah!
When he was campaigning for that position, he assured soccer stakeholders that he was going to use his connections in the business community to secure solid sponsorship deals from big corporates… he never told Zimbos that he would continue running ZIFA from hand-to-mouth through begging. Curthbert Dube should be having the longest laugh!
Chiyangwa - who is also affectionately known as Captain Fiasco - thinks Zimbos have very short memory, doesn't he? Only recently he was showing them the middle finger when they wanted to know what had happened to the US$600 000 Wicknell Chivayo claimed to have given to the association as part of his US$1 million sponsorship deal. Chiyangwa told the soccer stakeholders in no uncertain terms that the donation from Chivayo was to him as a person, and therefore what he did with it was none of their business! Before one could spell Zvimba, the very same Chiyangwa is already asking the very same stakeholders to fund ZIFA for him. Didn't we hear him talking about how he had a vision for ZIFA… vision to beg?
Zimbos will now start understanding why most of the chap's businesses such as D&G Shoes and ZECO, have drifted south… no visionary builds his vision through begging.
Anyway, Zimbos can never say they were not warned that if they were going to pick this chap, it was a typical case of lurching from the pan into the fire!
Really?
One loyal fan of Dr CZ was not impressed with a recent ruling by the Constitutional Court… a ruling that every citizen who possesses a gadget like an i-pad or smart phones that has the capacity to receive ZBC radio and or television (even if they don't tune in) should pay a listener and/or viewer licence fees to the State-controlled broadcaster. What makes this particular fan so, so unhappy is the fear that with a legal precedence like this being set, one morning police may just decide to arrest him for rape since by the same token he would be in full possession of gadgets that are capable of committing the crime. Well, Zimbabwe has people who are far-sighted, and who is Dr CZ to have misgivings about this fan's fears? When one looks at how the law is being used for persecution purposes and the resultant climate of fear that is growing, we should not be surprised when citizens start looking askance at even the most innocuous of regulations and laws.
Ya-ah!
The item below came from one of Dr CZ's seemingly misogynist fan, who is surprisingly a woman.
From a woman's point of view:
1. The most perfect man in the world is her father;
2. The most abused husband in the world is her brother;
3. The most handsome man in the world is her son;
4. The luckiest and happiest man in the world is her sister's husband;
5. The most thankful man in the world is her son-in-law;
6. And the worst, most selfish, heartless, total jerk and the man with worst behaviour in the world is her husband;
Ask Dr CZ what he thinks about this. Although he has never been a woman even for a nano-second himself, he would swear that is a big fat lie!
