Coalition or not, we will still win, Cdes

Dear Cabinet and Politburo members
COMRADES, I am following with much amusement stories about a possible coalition between opposition parties in this country in the forlorn hope that they could possibly unseat the great revolutionary party from power.
Well, dreaming is still a human right granted by God at the beginning of time, so these people can dream on, but that would not make any difference at all for us because come 2018, we will be romping to victory as per our tradition … there is no doubt or question about that.
For as long as the overwhelming majority of the people are on our side, even if all of these parties gang up against us, it will still not make any difference because that would not make them big. It is like ants ganging up together in the hope of looking like an elephant.
In the last elections, our party commanded a healthy 65 percent of the votes, which means that all the opposition parties in their various hues and shapes shared the remaining 35 percent. So even if they form a coalition, that would not make their share of the electorate grow beyond what it naturally is. So why should we worry if Morgan, Joice, Dumiso, Simba, Egypt and everyone come together, as if that would affect us in any way?
Unlike other parties, ours is a party that is firmly rooted in the people, so all types of winds can come from any direction, but they would not move us an inch, so why should we worry?
I notice that the people are getting irritated by Joice's provocative statements and have decided to expose her for the charlatan that she is. Our sages always admonish that those who stay in glasshouses should not throw stones at others … we are no longer responsible for what is being said about her.
It is her vaulting ambition that is getting her into all sorts of fertilisers … that is what happens when people do not control their dreaming processes.
Being a denizen of cloud cuckoo that she is, every morning when she looks at her face in the mirror, she tells herself she is seeing a presidential face. It is very sad that some people decide to become grave dangers to themselves.
Look at the likes of Cde Webster, Cde Nicholas and others … they silently suffered the discipline visited upon them by the party, and remained very loyal to the party so much that the party itself started feeling bad about punishing them harshly.
When the people get angry as they are now appearing to be, one cannot expect the party to restrain them from telling the truth as it is.
I note with grave disappointment that the West is now trying to arm-twist the directors and shareholders of Afreximbank into withholding the US$200 million that the financial institution has offered to underwrite our bond notes.
It has been brought to my attention that a group of people purporting to be Zimbabweans have started collecting signatures to send to the bank along with a petition asking it not to honour its pledge to back our bond notes.
And yet at the end of the day the very same people want to march on the streets demanding jobs and other social services, when they are at the forefront of sabotaging that very economy.
I now agree that the worst sin one can ever commit is failure to think!
These are the very same people who recently petitioned the embassy of a certain Far Eastern country to ban the party's leadership from visiting that country. Naturally, they were ignored. In both these cases, these people are making the wildest of allegations against their government … he-eh human rights, he-eh two million jobs, he-eh El Nino, he-eh democracy!
What these people do not know is that they are just wasting their own time.
The West has tried all tricks in the book to arm-twist us into submission, but not even one of them has showed remote signs of working.
Anyway, I wish them all the best.
Kindest Regards
Yours Sincerely

… AND CZ'S NOTEBOOK
Unmasking
The end is certainly getting nigh, that is if the way our politics is getting dirtier by the day is something to go by.
This week, The Sunday Mail decided to "unmask" former vice president Joice Mujuru by carrying a salacious article which said a lot about the lack of character among some of our political leaders.
Until this happened, Dr CZ, just like other Zimbos, innocently thought it was only in those Muslim communities, where victims of rape were guilty of being victims of rape. Now we know that this also happens even in this country.
In the unlikely event that what the source of the article — that is Cde George Rutanhire — said has an iota of truth to it, then this would be confirmation of what we have all along known, but have been decent enough not to say it openly… that most of the women who served the war as chimbwidos were raped by some rogue elements of the freedom fighters.
Just show us just one person who would say "No!" to requests of sexual nature from a person wielding an AK47, and then we would not have to show you a person who has dangerous suicidal tendencies! To accuse a rape victim of "loving men too much" is the height of madness.
If this is the character of people who make up the leadership of this country, then it should not be a surprise at all that we are head over heels in the mess that we are today as a country.
Dr CZ read it somewhere that some Zimbos no longer have any sense of shame at all, and he thought the accusation was unearned and therefore unfair.
After reading this, he no longer has any choice, but to agree.
With characters like Cde Rutanhire abound all over, one wonders if it is really true that this country actually failed to find a hangman.
The most, those of us who still have vestiges of shame left in us, can do in the meantime is to collectively bow our heads in shame and regret the criminal conspiracy of accident of coincidence that resulted in us being Zimbos.

Check this out. It is very interesting and educative. If: A B C D E F G H I J K LM N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z are equal to: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Then H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K translates to 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11= 98 percent
K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E is 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96 percent
L+O+V+E is 12+15+22+5 = 54 percent
L+U+C+K would be 12+21+3+11 = 47 percent
None of them makes 100 percent.
Then what makes 100 percent?
Is it Money? No! M+O+N+E+Y is 13+15+14+5+25 =72 percent
Leadership? No! L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P is 12+5+1+4+5+18+19+8+9+16 = 97 percent.
Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our "ATTITUDE".
A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E is 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100 percent.
It is therefore our ATTITUDE towards Life and Work that makes our Life 100 percent successful.
Amazing mathematics and that's why I love it because with the right attitude you are able to follow the beautiful advice below:
-Stay away from anger… it hurts only you!
-If you are right then there is no need to get angry,
-And if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.
-Patience with family is love,
-Patience with others is respect.
-Patience with self is confidence and patience with God is faith.
-Never think hard about the past, it brings tears only…
-Don't think more about the future, it brings fear
-Live this moment with a smile, it brings cheer
-Every test in our life makes us bitter or better
-Every problem comes to make us or break us,
-The choice is ours whether we become victims or victorious.
-Beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful.
-Do you know why God created gaps between fingers?
-So that someone who is special to you comes and fills those gaps by holding your hand forever.
-Happiness keeps you sweet… but being sweet brings happiness.
Share it with the beautiful people in your life (Dr CZ's fans!).
