Recent dramatic events in Zimbabwe in general and in MDC and ZANU PF, in particular, are once again a testimony that Zimbabwe is auto-cruising in the highway of intolerance, functionalism, gossip and malice; and is now heading towards shameful cities of confusion, chaos and instability.
Let it be known that we are not necessarily fighting to remove Mugabe(person), we are fighting vanquish and eradicate Mugabeism- the system which Mugabe Government has presided over the past 36+ years. We are fighting the System which is highly intolerant, à System which doesn't believe in Constitutionalism, a system which is corrupt , a system which is not transparent and above all, a System with a barbaric and systematic way of crushing descent.
Sadly, a close look at Zimbabwe's two major political parties(MDCT & ZANU-PF), there is no commitment whatsoever to abolish the System...all they want is "Power ".
Recent events in the MDC proves my point. It is reported that some MDC leaders questioned Tsvangirai over the constitutionality of Chamisa and Mudzuri appointments. The enquiries are not getting answers anchored by constitutional interpretation all they are getting are insults and threats to be expelled. The vanguard youth league is no different to a clueless ZANU Youths which endorse anything if not everything simply because it was done by their president or leader.
So yes Dr Alex Magaisa I will go and register to vote. You have played your part so well in urging us to register and I must applaud you for that.
However, I'm sorry Doc I'm gonna disappoint you on the polling day. What will I be voting for? This is the reason why I will abstain from voting. But abstaining will be a foolish thing to do. Predictably, there shall be "operation show your red finger". So I would rather go to the polling station to spoil the ballot.
MDC-T and ZANU PF are siamese twins separated at birth. It's only that the latter is in power and the former is cluelessly fighting to unseat the latter.
I have no choice but to disappoint my constitutional right to vote. I can't choose between nothing and nothing. It's a zero-sum mentality which will guarantee me zero. I can't turn to a third party. No! "People First"? Viva Zimbabwe?Egypt Dzinemunhenzva? my foot.
WaMagaisa vobva vati it's "hopelessly hopeful"
