Chamisa disregards Gukurahundi: now fights in cahoots with Genocide perpetrator Chiwenga
4 hrs ago | Views
This visceral loathing of Ndebele people. We have been saying multiple times that Chamisa is connected to Chiwenga and Zanu PF at several levels. Chatufa TV channels confirmed our fears about Chamisa's connection to Chiwenga. Chamisa has business dealings with the First Lady. He resigned from CCC as President of the party on very suspicious grounds. Now the secret Between Chamisa and Chiwenga is no longer secret: he works together with the General Chiwenga to topple Mnangagwa. Another trending rumor is that he has secret dealings with Mnangagwa. When Chamisa resigned from CCC, Academics like Professor Ibo Mandaza confronted Chamisa, told him in no uncertain terms that he needed to tell the voters why he resigned, or else he will be exposed. Even close friend inside the party were not informed about his resignation: they got it on newspapers. Chamisa's political actions beg questions: so many issues remain unanswered.
What is disturbing about Chamisa's preference of working together with Chiwenga to remove Mnangagwa comes from power the general has in the army. He overlooks the most painful chapter of our history. He disregards 1980s Chiwenga's genocide atrocities he executed in Matabeleland South as General under Mnangagwa, then minister state security. It is about Chamisa and never about the people. It dawned on me late about the emotional disconnect between two tribal factions of Mashona's and Ndebeles. Chamisa is painfully disconnected from genocide atrocities of the past. According to him it is about getting power by hook and crook, and he goes to occupy the state house. He has sunk very low to contractually near himself to Chiwenga to get kinetic force from Chiwenga for his personal ends. Just saying.
Chamisa; Chiwenga: or C & C there is something deeply interesting from this pact: They are both weak characters with painful cowardice traits. Both are not the brightest stars in the sky. It is as obvious to me as my nose on my face, these two; C & C will never achieve anything tangible in terms of regime change. How they fear death; But they would rather they send jack and jill to die for them to enter the state house. Chiwenga has the army at his disposal he can use to stage a coup; Chamisa has the mob to demonstrate until regime change. My question is, realizing these two powerful tools they have, why has the coup not taken place? Why have mob demonstrators not taken to the streets to shut down the entire country and force Mnangagwa to resign? Just saying.
They continue with their social media outlets, peddle something about to happen, something is happening, something has already happened, something that will happen in the far/near future; we are kept in a frenzy by Chatufa media outlet, ever unending guessing scenarios. #Godisit# slogan. These long awaited political and economic transformation are a mushroom in the cave. None of the two; Chiwenga and Chamisa has a personification of courage to bring the change they want: POWER. All things being equal; these threats to shut down the nation with demos assisted by the army is a smoke without fire: it's a more performative than actions to bring down Mnangagwa. The kinetic force Chiwenga brags about, does not have it and he does not realize that he has been turned into a paper tiger: The army is not available for him to use at his disposal but very constrained. Chiwenga is a civilian. His job description is enshrined in the constitution, a document he dangles time and again. He cannot command the army to stage a coup. He does not have the army in his command; if at all, it's dwelling in his faculties.
Painfully still: Our future president Chiwenga is challenged: He thinks the population has short memory. He talks about corruption as if he is clean himself. The billions of dollars in foreign banks made it possible for him to get a second life. His homes in Borrowdale Brooks and his private farms could not have been bought by an average salary of a general. The looting of diamonds in DRC and again the salaries of soldiers who fought the war in DRC were not remunerated. Some died in DRC, their families did not get any payments. He must be told that that was corruption and cruelty of the highest order. The desperation in our citizens is unable to challenge him on such open corruption charges. Instead, somehow, the population want him to be the next president, is a better person than Mnangagwa. A pact has been made behind our backs is that if Chamisa and Chiwenga work together, mobilize combined efforts, could topple Mnangagwa. Citizens do not realize the folly of putting much hope on men like Chiwenga and Chamisa.
Zimbabwean people, both men and women are so misogynistic, how they mystify Chiwenga as a good man, puzzles me. I expected women to come out and speak loudly about the true mercilessness of Chiwenga towards his ex-wife and children. Its incomprehensible how a human being can be so hard-hearted to treat another human in the way Merry is treated. The citizens know that Merry lost limbs because of a disease they suffer both husband and wife. She is denied of overseas treatment that some elites get, when they get ill, including General Constantine Chiwenga himself. Chiwenga was airlifted to China to get a brand-new esophagus: hence he is alive today. Of late he was on a treatment trip to India to get his blood-pressure eyes and ears checked, and his toenails cut professionally by Indians and not less Zimbabweans at home.
Their children are denied visiting their mother. There is not a single woman who has made an appeal to the government on Merry's behalf to get access to her children by right as a mother, at least. Not even a week ago, Chiwenga was talking about UBUNTU at the Heros Acre where most looters of national revenues are buried. What UBUNTU is Chiwenga talking about? Or is he preaching us to drink water while downs wine! His actions have no traces of UBUNTU he is preaching. He makes a baboon out of himself: by the way he is Soko!
Women's organisations should have approached the African Union and The UNs and made legal complaints how a second Head of State is punishing his ex-wife and children. In all order of things, Merry's problem must be legally delt with by women's movements and NGOs inside Zimbabwe. There are several pathways to alert international bodies who must legally intervene to assist a desperate woman at the cruelest hands of a misogynistic Zanu PF government, an irresponsible government of Mnangagwa. Both Chiwenga and Mnangagwa are responsible for what happened to Merry's demise. Such a high-profile case about Merry must be given attention to UN-General Secretary Guterres. Merry's case exposes the fabric of our nation, how women are treated in Zimbabwe like products of backside products. There are cases at the UN that are delt with at individual level too. Merry's case deserves that, no less. Exposing our government at international bodies regarding Merry's case demands that no less. It could give precedence that women's lives matter. The silence of our Zimbabwean women about Merry's case is very loud; it is dangerous because it normalizes gender-based violence in societies.
