Listen to Deputy Prime Minister, Mutambara, rambling on S W Radio Africa and immediately one can see why Zimbabwe is in deep, deep trouble. Mugabe landed us in this mess but we can not be serious to expect the likes of Mutambara to dig us out on the mess. How did we pick such an empty head to hold such a top position?
As if having Mutambara for Deputy PM was not bad enough, we have Tsvangirai as Prime Minister!
After the March 2008 elections Tsvangirai went on a diplomatic offensive, when he should have been mobilising his supporters to stop Mugabe rigging of the election results. He wanted SADC to stop Mugabe and, of course, they did not do any such thing. This time he is off on yet another diplomatic offensive to get SADC Heads of State to pressure Mugabe to honour the GPA. A few weeks ago Tsvangirai was in Congo to pressure SADC Heads to do the same thing he wants them to do. In Congo SADC Heads ignored him completely. The chances are, they will do the same yet again.
Tsvangirai made the initial very serious political blunder by signing the GPA and joining Mugabe in forming the GNU. He has finally admitted that and walkout accusing Mugabe of being a “dishonest and unreliable partner.” But this was such a serious and costly blunder the only honourable thing for Tsvangirai those close to him to do now is resign from MDC.
Of course, Tsvangirai would never resign. Resign is as strange and alien to Tsvangirai just as regime change in to Mugabe. These words send the jitters to African leaders, even those supposedly standing on a democratic change platform, like Tsvangirai!
