The battle between Mugabe and Mujuru (Part 1)

LINK!!!!



Wednesday, 24 October 2007 10:09

BY ITAI DZAMARA, HARARE - The political battle between Robert Mugabe and the Mujuru faction has intensified over the past few months as the Zanu (PF) December special congress looms. Investigations have revealed vicious rivalry, involving the use of sabotage and dangerous elimination methods.

Retired army general Solomon Mujuru heads the faction championing his wife Joice, as successor to Mugabe as the leader of the ruling party, subsequently earning the right to contest next year’s presidential elections. The Mujuru faction comprises other senior Zanu (PF) officials such as Governor of Mashonaland East Ray Kaukonde, David Butau, Joel Biggie Matiza, David Parirenyatwa, Kenneth Musanhu and David Karimanzira.

Sources privy to the goings-on within the ruling party revealed to The Zimbabwean recently that programmes targeted at weakening and inflicting damage on the Mujuru faction have been implemented at the behest of Mugabe, mainly using the security forces to manage power dynamics.

It has emerged that members of the Mujuru faction were the major victims within the Zanu (PF) system of the controversial programme by government to enforce price reductions in the manufacturing, wholesale and retail sectors.

Sources involved have also revealed that Mugabe tried to get at the Mujurus through the foiled coup plot of June this year.

“The Mujuru faction has been in the forefront of resisting Mugabe’s plans aimed at safeguarding his power. Remember the 2010 project he wanted to push, as well as the attempt at having him prematurely endorsed as the party candidate for next year’s presidential elections,” a Zanu (PF) official said. “This faction has declared itself a sworn enemy of Mugabe and a threat to his power games. Hence the aged leader has launched an offensive against the faction in rather a brutal manner.”

The security forces, particularly the police in this case, have also been used to target the operations of the Mujurus and their followers in the crackdown on illegal minerals mining and marketing.

“The plan has been to paralyse the Mujuru faction through hitting at its strengths, and the primary target has been crippling its income-generating base,” a source said.
A senior Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) official confirmed the use of the police to destroy the Mujuru faction. “There were clear and specific directives from the top echelons of government to target the gold and diamond operations of the Mujuru faction, with information being provided from the president’s office. The same was done during the price control operation. Teams were set out specifically to deal with businesses owned by the Mujurus and other politicians in their camp.”

This paper has established that businesses owned by Kaukonde and Butau were targeted during the crackdown on prices, leading to the arrest of their managers. There were also failed attempts at opposing the operation to enforce price reductions by the Mujuru faction. Kaukonde operates a bus company and a chain of supermarkets in addition to having shares in a number of blue chip companies. Butau has operations in the cotton marketing industry.

One of the members of the Mujuru faction, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Zimbabwean: “There has been a deliberate plan to sabotage our business operations while another process was pursued at the same time aimed at killing us politically, which included a media black-out or negative coverage. All this has been spearheaded by Mugabe. Daggers are drawn and we believe the party (Zanu) has to allow the will of the people to prevail regarding election of leaders to represent it in vital elections such as the presidential polls next year. Indeed, we are going to fight all the way for our candidate, whom we believe has the capacity to correct things in the country.”

Sources also told us that Solomon Mujuru was put under house arrest after the coup plan in June and Mugabe tried through his security handlers to pin him down. “There was a plan to have the whole coup saga end up implicating Mujuru as the architect and it would come out saying he wanted to pave the way for his wife thereby destroying her politically,” a source said.

The state-controlled media has reportedly been issued with directives by Mugabe’s spokesman George Charamba not to cover Joice Mujuru or members of her faction, while increasing a positive bias towards Mugabe.

A journalist at one of the country’s daily newspapers said the directive had specifically stated that Mugabe had to enjoy unwavering front page or top story coverage, but a black-out had to be imposed on the Mujuru faction.
“This is aimed at pulling us down through the media ahead of the special congress so that members of the party are opinionated in a manner that will see them back Mugabe’s candidature,” a member of the Mujuru faction said. “This is being done parallel to the campaign by war veterans, youths and women’s groups in the party being sponsored to campaign for Mugabe’s endorsement and threaten others, particularly those from the Mujuru faction.”

It has also emerged that Mugabe is scheming to elbow out the majority of the Mujuru faction members through a primary election process to choose those that will represent the party in next year’s parliamentary elections. “Mugabe is using the war veterans, youths and women to destroy their chances before the primary process,” a source said.

*Next week in Part 2 we reveal how the Mujuru faction is fighting against Mugabe’s power plans to the extent that it opposed the 18th amendment and planned to block it in parliament - only to be “sabotaged” by the MDC.

IF MUGABE IS A HERO....THEN THE WORD HAS LOST ITS MEANING!

LINK!!!!


By Tanonoka Joseph Whande 
GABORONE - Why do African leaders tip-toe around the rogue Zimbabwean president? 
It cannot be the nonsense that President Robert Mugabe is viewed as a hero and so they revere him even when he kills the same people he supposedly 'liberated.' 
Heroism is bestowed on dead people after taking into consideration the sum output of their efforts, behaviour and unselfish, daring servitude to the people or the nation. 
Otherwise 'living heroes' have to constantly renew their status until they die. 
Nelson Mandela, the world's most revered statesman, is considered a hero on all fronts and there is little dispute about that. But to maintain that 'living hero' status, Mandela has to be careful. 
It only takes one small mistake for his hero status to evaporate. Is Mugabe a hero just because he is perceived to have liberated Zimbabwe? 
If so, then, does that hero status still stand in light of what has and continues to happen under his stewardship? 
Thousands are believed and known to have died at his hands in the Midlands and Matabeleland provinces in what he, himself, termed 'a moment of madness'. 
There are politically motivated killings blamed on his supporters and he does not chide them. 
Apparently, all these negatives, abuse, mismanagement of the nation's finances and the economy do not take anything away from a hero. 
Mugabe remains a hero for failing to maintain, just to maintain, what our nation inherited from the white government. 
He remains a hero after destroying the nation's agricultural base and presiding over starving people that he refuses to give food because they are suspected of not supporting his political party. 
He remains a hero whose vanity demands that in every city, town and township be a street named after him. 
He remains a hero to African presidents when he sends millions of his people into neighbouring countries to look for food. Just how do African presidents define 'hero'? 
If Mugabe is a hero by any measure, then Africa, not just Zimbabwe, is doomed. But that shows us that Africa has never been able to elect the right people into office. 
Will we ever get an African president who can distinguish himself or herself apart from the 'presidential' garbage we have seen on the African continent since the 1950s up to today? Not likely. 
Africa appears to have not even one president with principles anchored in conviction, reality and belief. Africa's so-called presidents are chancers who entered politics, not to serve, but to be served and to accumulate wealth. 
They behave like sheep swayed by a shepherd dog. And, indeed, it appears to me those collies have a far better sense of direction than SADC leaders. 
Unlike African presidents, those mutts not only know where they should go but also know the right thing to do with what's entrusted to them. SADC, like the rest of Africa, urgently needs meaningful leadership. 
Africa does not deserve the leadership it has. Let us start with Joachim Chissano, the former Mozambican president. It appears to me that Chissano is a bored man. 
I am almost certain that he did not buy a pig farm while he was president. Because of boredom, he is spouting embarrassing garbage about Zimbabwe and, in particular, Robert Mugabe. 
Chissano, like the now widely discredited Levy Mwanawasa, urges that Mugabe be invited to the Portugal summit 'to engage him in an exchange of views', something he failed to do with Mugabe while he was president. 
Only last year Mugabe refused Chissano to be a mediator in the Zimbabwean crisis. During his presidency, Chissano softly but conspicuously turned away from Mugabe after discovering that Mugabe was an unreasonable dictator, immune to any constructive suggestions. 
Chissano, unlike Samora Machel, went on to concentrate on rebuilding his nation and he did a splendid job without being unnecessarily weighed down by Mugabe. 
Mozambique's revival must be credited to Chissano after the disastrous start Machel reigned on the country. But today, Chissano spouts falsehoods about engaging Mugabe in debate, thereby retarding efforts to reign in the notorious Zimbabwean leader. 
Mozambique is on an economic rise and keeping Mugabe in power gives Mozambique access to markets that would otherwise be filled by Zimbabwe. 
Sometime this year, Zambia's Levy Mwanawasa broke with the old tired and self-defeating chorus from unthinking African presidents. 
He likened Zimbabwe to the legendary Titanic and raised hopes that African leaders were, at last, ready to confront Mugabe. 
Within a few days of that statement, Mwanawasa had dispatched a high ranking envoy to mend fences with Mugabe. 
Mwanawasa wanted the Zimbabwean issue debated at the Lusaka SADC meeting, Mugabe did not. Mugabe, unschooled in verbal decency, berated Mwanawasa in a closed-door plenary session. 
"Mwanawasa, who do you think you are?" Mugabe is reported to have growled angrily at the hapless Zambian who immediately retreated into a cowardly posture, telling Mugabe that he had misunderstood his intentions. 
As suddenly as the strike of a match, Mwanawasa's confidence deserted him. Since that day, he has been behaving in an embarrassing manner. 
Suddenly, Mwanawasa said the Zimbabwean situation was being exaggerated and told the world that he would not attend the Portugal summit if Mugabe were excluded. 
He is now Mugabe's tea-boy, fetching the political sticks where ever Mugabe chooses to throw them. What a shame, a president, a lawyer and no principles at all. 
Addressing American students at an Arkansas university, Mwanawasa said all the problems the opposition parties face in Zimbabwe were self inflicted. 
"Seizures of land from white commercial farmers in Zimbabwe were a bit harsh," he said. "But opposition forces brought the push by Mugabe upon themselves." 
Don't ask me; I have no idea what he meant. Mwanawasa said western powers must be willing to talk to Mugabe. 
"Dialogue is the most important thing…talk to him; give him your message… and you will find you will be getting better results." 
This is from a SADC chairman. He, along with his organization, failed to speak to Mugabe and now invites foreigners to engage Mugabe in talks. No wonder he won the presidency with only 29 percent of the Zambian vote! 
And Mwanawasa added another untruth, claiming that the issue in Zimbabwe is over land. It is not and never was. And Mwanawasa knows it. 
Several months ago, Ghana's John Kuffour raised the hopes of Zimbabweans when he stood with Thabo Mbeki outside the presidential offices in South Africa and pointed out that Mugabe was a problem not to be tolerated. 
It now does not appear as if Kuffour remembers that anymore because his 'African Union', like the cowards in SADC, said they would not attend a summit in Portugal if Mugabe is excluded. 
This really is pathetic; African leaders sacrifice their national economies, potential assistance and possible opening of trade markets for the continued survival of one of the world's most notorious dictators. 
Then there is Mbeki! 
And where are Wade and Kibaki? Early on, they made noises about the Zimbabwean tragedy and both seem to have forgotten about it. 
Early this week, Wade said he was going to Zimbabwe in two weeks' time to talk to Mugabe because, he said, it should not be left to Mbeki alone. I wish him the best! 
Mugabe's irrelevant recent speech at the UN was more than embarrassing to himself. He tried to give the world an incorrect recital of history. He spoke, not of Africa's or Zimbabwe's problems, but of his own desire to survive. 
It showed us the helplessness of rage. It was like attending his own funeral. Unfortunately for Mugabe, he can never make himself look better by reciting someone else's shortcomings. 
African leaders are an intolerable embarrassment. And I badly want to remind them that honesty goes deeper than facts. Honesty is rooted in the soul rather than the world. 
Africa needs honest leaders and none of what we have now.

Makoni says Zanu-PF leaders lazy, greedy, corrupt, selfish


LINK!!!


By Our Correspondent
HEADLANDS, October 2, 2007 - Simba Makoni, the former minister of Finance and Economic Development, has described leaders within the ranks of the ruling party as dictators and selfish individuals bent on serving their own interests instead of those of the people of Zimbabwe at large.
He described government's land reform programme whose centerpiece was the violent seizure of white-owned commercial farms in 2000 as a complete failure.
Makoni, who is a member of both the Central Committee and Politburo in Zanu PF recently shocked Zanu-PF leaders in Manicaland Province and traditional leaders when he castigated the haphazard manner in which the land reform programme was conducted.
Makoni was invited to speak on behalf of Didymus Mutasa, the minister of Lands, Land Reform and Resettlement and State Security, but requested to represent himself at a function organised recently by the governor of Manicaland, Tinaye Chigudu.
The function was held at Chigudu's farm in Makoni District.
Mutasa did not make it to the function, which was attended by senior ruling party officials and traditional chief in the province because he was attending a funeral.
Before launching the blistering attack on the ruling party leadership and government, Makoni requested that he be allowed to speak in his own capacity rather than on behalf of Mutasa. Permission was granted.
"I am standing in front of you today as your guest of honour in my capacity as the only politburo member present," Makoni said, "as minister Mutasa could not make it here today. What I am about to say here is not what he would have said. These are my own words which must not be linked to him in any way.
He said the land reform programme was a big flop as it had brought unnecessary suffering among the people.
"Why is it that after the country embarked on the land reform programme there has been starvation in the country? Let us not blame it on droughts but on our own greedy leadership."
"It is shameful for a country such as Zimbabwe to beg for food from countries like Malawi yet this is now happening."
Makoni said the political leadership in Zimbabwe wanted things to come their way on a silver plate. He said it was wrong for people to just grab farms and occupy farmhouses that they never built.
Makoni said such infrastructure did not just come from heaven like manna. Some people would have worked tirelessly to build such houses. But other Zimbabweans only wanted to get such huge investments for free. This met with a deafening silence.
He was addressing requests submitted to Chigudu by the chiefs that they also be allocated farms with mansions such as the one now owned by the Governor.
Makoni told the chiefs to work hard and build their own mansions at their own homesteads.
"If the government allocates you such mansions outside your jurisdictions, how then are you going to administer your areas," said Makoni.
He then lambasted the Zanu-PF leadership describing them as dictators and selfish individuals who only think about themselves first before they consider the welfare of others.
Makoni said good leaders were those who visited the people regularly and not only when elections were around the corner. He said good leaders consult the people and ask them what they want from the government and not the other way round.
"It shows that there is a problem when you see the people going to their leaders with their grievances," Makoni said. "Our problem in Zimbabwe is that our leaders take their people for granted. They think that they know their problems and prescribe their own solutions.
"Good leaders are expected to ask from the people what they want the government to do for them. The government should not tell the people what to do without consulting them as is happening in our country today. That is dictatorship."
He described the Zanu-PF leadership as lazy, greedy and corrupt.
On the issue of corruption in the country, Makoni said he did not blame it on ordinary citizens, saying it was being fuelled by the leadership. Makoni said it was very difficult for a father to stop his child from doing bad things when the child was only copying what the father was doing.
"In short they say a fish rots from the head," he said.
During his hard hitting speech those in attendance maintained a fearful silence unlike when previous speakers took turns to shower praises on Mugabe and the land reform programme.
After giving his speech Makoni said he was happy Mutasa had failed to make it to the function as this had given him an opportunity to speak out on what he thought were problems affecting the country.
"I am happy for Minister Mutasa's failure to grace this important occasion with his presence because it gave me a rare opportunity to say what I feel about my country," he said.
