Why wait for elections?
As reliably as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so it will be for the Zanu (PF) leadership when the whole country will rise up and say "We Do Not Need You!!!!", thanks to strong barbaric tactics that have impoverished our once fantastic country, the predictable freedom surge in our people is coming sooner than late. The leadership forgets like an ostrich that buries its head in the sand, that the 4 million children of Zimbabwe in the Diaspora have linkages with people back home, who are equally affected with what is going on in the country.
The time for tyrannical Communist rule is over! For an 83-year-old man to be excited that he will stand for re-election next year is completely absurd, very ignorant, and very, very uncultured! Is Robert Mugabe the only person in ZANU (PF) who has the mantra and monopoly to rule both his party and the country? If Robert were to die today, would Zimbabwe's ZANU (PF) or Zimbabwe be obliterated from the face of the earth? Come on, all you intelligent people, no one should have a monopoly of knowledge and a monopoly of the right to rule people forever, that was only for kingdoms, and not democracies.
We need the break!
We know that Morgan Tsvangirai will not be fooled this time; that ZANU (PF) will not rig elections and murder more people in its quest to safeguard the continued one sided plunder of the nation's resources in the bid to pacify the ever hungry cronies. It is truly depressing and saddening at the same time. We know that the pressure of the 2010 World Cup is on Mbeki, rather than the need to see the democratization of Zimbabwe as a push for him. The joke will be on Comrade Thabo Mbeki if he does not use his mettle to solve the crisis in the neighbouring Zimbabwe. He should not think back to the days when the Zimbabwe government incarcerated him during his liberation struggle. That should not be a stumbling block; he has no need to repay the liberation struggle gains with the suffering of the Zimbabwe populace at large.
Robert Gabriel Mugabe (Matibili) is a practicing Catholic Christian, or is it for convenience? The irony of it all is that his second name is derived from one of God's most revered angel, and sadly he does not live up to that names sake calling of beauty and protection, but rather is causing untold mayhem, death and destruction of the very people he is supposed to be serving. Mr Matibili needs to be dealt with in a firm and consistent manner. He needs to know that people know that he is deceptive, selfish and in need of help and that his time as president of the once promising young nation is up.
It is no longer a secret that there are no medicines in our clinics and hospitals today. Need we belabour the point? Most medical professionals have fled the impoverishment of their qualifications into other well accommodating countries. Fresh investors and tourists are now a pipe dream, and a thing of the past. Notwithstanding the threat to nationalize the companies, how can these guys who have a skill in destroying a once prosperous country ever imagine that they can run farms and businesses?
If they say they will bring Chinese investors, well and good, but can they control their immigration, seeing they failed to protect the Warren Park families during the construction of the National stadium? Textbooks are now a pipedream for most schools today; non-governmental organizations that could help are now being castigated in the very English language of the people that Robert casts his diatribes at every time he opens his senile mouth. Mugabe must no longer speak in English, if everything west reviles him!
I continue to lament for the estimated 4 million Zimbabwean adults now living in exile outside Zimbabwe who have been ingeniously been disenfranchised by the incumbent government. I applaud the colleagues who have had the guts and audacity to take that government to the Zimbabwe Supreme Court. This process must be taken further to International Courts, the African Court of Human Rights or the international one in the Hague to claim our voting right. It is good for international observers to be present to monitor the elections, but that would not go down well with most of us if we do get the chance to cast our God given right to vote for our own candidates.
The elections should be free and fair, but will they be? Most of the eligible 18 year olds are being systematically disenfranchised by not having the national identity cards and or the passports due to the paucity of foreign currency which is being piled into the loss making Air Zimbabwe.I have as of the 7th July spoken to a fellow MBA colleague in Zimbabwe, who advises that he can not find meat, cooking oil or other things needed to survive in the shops. In fact he went down to butchery in Rezernde Street only to find vegetables and tomatoes on display. That was for two days running. He laughs at the hardships as if they were a luxury. The plot is lost. The phone is then unplugged by the CIO goons.
Sad and sick people! Can they unplug the misery in the people's minds? Can they intimidate those of our brothers left standing guard in the country? The answers will come sooner than late. Do we need to wait for elections to oust this illegitimate government? Arise people of Zimbabwe and demonstrate against this oppression.The businesses will definitely shut down. How can a person of five senses force a person in business to lower their price by half for a product that they bought for more than the price they are being asked to sell it for? This is utter madness. The final nail is here! He must exercise this madness on the businesses run by Kaukonde in the Zimbabwe Republic Police.
