Christopher Mutsvangwa lashes out at Journalists for failing to condemn the sanctions imposed by the West. “Sanctions are real and journalists must focus on how foreign powers have sapped the country’s capacity to fend for itself through colonialism and sanctions,” he said.
Mutsvangwa is a Mugabe and Zanu PF support so there is nothing new in that. What makes his remarks notable is that he is one of the commissioners of the Zimbabwe Media Commission – the body, that nation hoped, that would bring freedom of expression to all Zimbabweans.
With a hot head like Mutsvangwa, the ZMC will be rendered useless ineffective; particularly when he will doing this at the instigation of none other than Mugabe himself.
What I find laughable is that there great cheer following the appointment of ZMC commissioners. It is not only Tsvangirai and his MDC friends who have refused to accept that this GNU is not working and never will. The evidence was there from the word go and has continued to pile up over the months and still MDC has continued to pretend the GNU is working. MDC leaders and their supporters are no alone in this many Zimbabweans too refuse to face the cold reality.
The GNU is not working and we should consider other ways out of this mess! Having refresh elections now is one way out!
Mugabe rightly guessed that Tsvangirai would never consider leaving the GNU once locked in. MDC neither have the mental finesse to have a plan B nor the political will to see it through. So Mugabe, not one to miss a trick, has taken full advantage of that and abrogated for himself even more sweeping powers than the GPA had given him much to the annoyance of all the SADC leaders who have now have egg on their faces. Still it is the Zimbabwean people who have more than egg on their faces; we are paying the price for the continued political chaos and economic melt down with our very lives!
No self respecting nation would allow itself to be treated with such contempt and arrogance as Mugabe is showing. Why we let him; is the biggest mystery of our time!
