Recent occasions in the ruling party Zanu PF revealed how deceitful its supporters are, although they pretend to be very loyal and allegiant to the Party and their nonagenarian leader President Robert Gabriel Mugabe, it is now clear that they will be doing it for a day's meal at the expense of the nation and the future of their own children.
All those who were booted out from the party through votes of no confidence during the party's moment of madness like the prominent F*** Bomber Acie Lumumba, Themba Mliswa, Joice Mujuru etc. are airing sentiments which they would not dare say if they were still in the party.
Acie Lumumba had this to say when he left the party "Zanu PF ndomusha wecorruption, you are expelled not because you are corrupt, but you are expelled the moment you say no to corruption"
The party's system smacks of the Shona adage "mbudzi inodya payakasungirirwa" After all what would a jobless youth lose by singing praises to the party's leader if that can assure them a free beer? If just holding a card can assure one immunity from prosecution for crimes committed in the name of politics; if one can have multiple farm ownership; if one can globe trot to any country of their choice with their families using state funds; if one can own free residential and commercial stands in every city etc. would they surely not subscribe to the 'Pamberi ne Zanu chorus'?
If you see seasoned medical doctors who have the jongwe card in their wallets saying a 94 year old is the best candidate for 2018 yet every day in their medical rooms they are telling their 80 year old patients to go and rest, just look around and see what such a doctor owns and how he acquired it then u will get the logic.
This is exactly why Zimbabwe will not get back to its feet in the very near future until this party is relegated. This is exactly why the economy of this country is sinking deeper every day despite all the agreements being signed with developed nations in each diplomatic trip.
If people were sincere this is a time we expected to see ministers resigning in the face of open corruption and all the killings as well as mismanagement of state resources but alas, they enjoy the evil until they are sacked then they confess. This is a clear testimony that all those rallying behind Mugabe know it very well that the bus is not going anywhere with a blind driver but that they are in to enjoy the food that is packed inside. The leaders will tell you that sanctions are the main reason for their failure to revive the economy.
Though they seem to be advocates of sanction removal, in their bedrooms they pray for their extension for sanctions have become their sole scapegoat for their failures and evil deeds.
And with that they are assured of a further extension of the looting chance they have always enjoyed since independence. Mugabe himself has always said Zimbabweans are their own liberators, meaning it's us Zimbabweans who are suffering, it's us Zimbabweans who are watching as state resources are being enjoyed by a few etc. and when voting time comes we close our eyes and tell the world that we are blind. I am sure the first family laughs at supper time at such display of ignorance
