DEAR ROY
Many times I have tried to reach to you to show you the best way to become relevant in Zimbabwean Politics.
The platform you always choose to awaken the World to Zimbabwean problems is always WRONG. To be very quick to my point, the best and relevant platform where you really would make a productive impact in Zimbabwean politics is Zapu.
Look at Zapu and look at yourself Roy!
You are an intelligent White Zimbabwean who expected to be treated with dignity after independence in 1980 thus why you did not emigrate. What you did not know in 1980 which you know now is that Zanu are RACISTS AND TRIBALIST.
The MDC which you identify with now Roy is ZANU PF and you know it only that you choose to believe that they are not.
For 35 years, Tsvangirai was groomed by Zanu PF and he discovered late that Zanu PF is SATAN but what Tsvangirai and his followers can not remove is the essence of Zanu PF which makes the composition of their fibre. This is the reason why Tsvangirai most of the times talks so well about Mugabe and even calls him his hero.
If MDC-T wins elections, the essence of Zanu PF in Tsvangirai will not depart and their hatred for a White skin will not depart either. You will find yourself trapped in a sorrowful situation dominated by tribalism and racism.
Now inspect yourself and read through Zapu mindset. Since 1957 Zapu, then UDM preached against the domination of one man by another on grounds of race. In Zapu, we still hold the same values we had 54 years ago. The White man in Zimbabwe must be taught to live equally as the Black man and the Shona must be taught to live equally with a Ndebele. We called that equal rights in 1957.
Tsvangirai believes the Shona are more deserving than the Ndebele thus why his party split in 2005. Thus why he does not want Welshman Ncube to take over Mutambara. Thus why his Ndebele cabinet have minor influence. Thus why he can impregnate a Ndebele and ignore her but impregnate a Shona and pay damages.
Tribalism and racism are one and the same thing and people who have that philosophy strongly believe that their side is more deserving than the other. MDC-T leanrt that philosophy while they were in Zanu 1963-1999 and that culture is not going to vanish overnight.
Zapu told the World in 1979 that we wanted the land redistributed equitably with the aid of UN in that year. We were true and honest and careful that none of our White community would be victimised by the process. If that had happened, 2.5 million White Zimbabweans would be proud Zimbabweans today and having a democratic influence in Law, administration and economic drive. But the choices you Mr Roy, and the rest of the White Zimbabwean Community made were wrong.
When Mugabe killed the Ndebeles, you saw it as Black on Black. When Zimbabweans became disgruntled with Zanu PF, you chose a Zanu PF faction called MDC to support instead of true, honest and consistent Zapu which has always been against any form of discrimination.
You will have a very strong say in Zimbabwe Mr Roy if you drop your organisations to join the old age consistent and honest Zapu.
Tsvangirai has never been discriminated and he has no clue what discrimination means in Zimbabwe. He is just like you were Roy in 1979. You could have mocked a discriminated person and described them as stupid in 1979. But now you know what it means and Tsvangirai does not. Zapu has been discriminated against since 1890 and they are the best choice to create a solution that is healthy and fair for everyone.
Again Mr Roy, If you want to be relevant in Zimbabwean politics and shape that country fair and just democratic way JOIN ZAPU.
Think about it!
