Mujuru what a disgrace

The recent utterances by the Zimbabwe People First (Zim PF) leader Dr Joice Mujuru that she wants to compensate the former owner of the farm she and her late husband, (rtd) General Solomon Mujuru grabbed sounds quite alarming and interesting. The case that raises questions is the lawsuit against her for the movable assets at Alamein Farm which was forcibly taken from its legal owner, Guy Watson Smith.

The most fascinating thing about Dr Mujuru is why she did not compensate the former owner of the farm before she was fired from ZANU PF. Moreover she is alleged in contempt of court over the lawsuit, raising doubts over her rule of law credentials. She seems to have a lot baggage to offload than any other contender for the Presidential candidate for the opposition grand coalition.

There are also some allegations that during her time in government the lady was in the forefront of looting the War Victims Compensation Fund, feigning 55% disability. Some of the ill acts she was involved in include trying to block the businessman Strive Masiyiwa's Econet from setting up and the alleged corruption at ZISCOsteel among others. Mujuru is also accused by the progressive Zimbabweans and the like minded of now joining and wining with the agents of regime change; hence her visit to the United Kingdom.

We hope that in her visit she is going to source funds to improve the economy and not to seek political support from the people in the Diaspora. If she wants political support she is misleading herself as the people are now fed up with these politicians who had been fired from ZANU PF. Most of the politicians who had been members of ZANU PF are not trusted as they are known to be power hungry, which is the reason why they were fired.

The Zimbabwe People First is being criticized for being led by political prostitutes in the likes of Kudzai Mbudzi, Dzikamai Mavhaire and Claudius Makova who had been members of more than three political parties. Thus these people are opportunists who are always on the move to any political party they think they can grab positions which they would manipulate for self aggrandizement.

Mujuru's party is characterized by divisions as epitomized in Masvingo province where Claudius Makova imposed a candidate without the approval of the party members in the Bikita West constituency. This shows that there is confusion and profusion in the party. Above all the party is composed of spent force members in the likes of Didymus Mutasa who claim to be the champions of democracy. The party's council of elders is of no importance as they continue to blame ZANU PF without proffering proper solutions.

The People First's congress scheduled to be held in October might turn to be a fiasco if the party members continue to blame ZANU PF without concentrating on their party programmes. Joice Mujuru herself should not have the audacity to blame ZANU PF as she was part and parcel of the system. If President Robert Mugabe pardons Mujuru it cannot surprise us seeing her taking the offer. Therefore we should be careful of these wolves in sheep skins.

The claim that ZimPF had unearthed a plot where ZANU PF activists in the United Kingdom were planning to masquerade as opposition members and disrupt Mujuru's scheduled address at Chatham House should be taken with a pinch of salt. People should be careful when analyzing these issues especially politicians of dubious revolutionary credentials.
