There is a method in Mugabe and Moyo's madness of calling Zuma "erratic"!

Whilst it is true that the harsh criticism of SADC and particularly President Zuma in Zimbabwe’s Mugabe controlled media has caused many SADC leaders not only to curse Mugabe but also to harden their position against the Mugabe dictatorship. So Professor Jonathan Moyo penned off most of the scathing articles; it was either him or George Charamba and may be one or two others – the rest can not string one coherent sentence! It is hardly surprising that these brain-dead wimps are “sharpening their knives” and would love a chance to bury their knives in Moyo’s moyo – heart! The only person stopping them is Mugabe – he is a lot smarter than the rest and appreciate Moyo’s madness! Of course Moyo was right to say to Mugabe was so unpopular he “would lose to a donkey in a free and fair election” in 2008. Indeed the Professor could have said the same of Mugabe in the 2000 elections. Moyo played a key role in turning certain defeat into victory for Mugabe in that election. Mugabe has been unelectable for donkey years now; he has remained in power through his own grit determination, cunning and willingness to use brute force again and again to get what. He has found witty and cunning people like Professor Moyo very useful. Yes because of Moyo’s cunning plotting, Mugabe nearly lost his grip on power in the so called Tsholotsho debacle of 2004. Mugabe welcomed Moyo back in the Zanu PF fold last year because he needs cunning people like him. It is to people like Moyo that Mugabe has to turn if he is to win the next elections; not the brain – dead Joyce Mujuru, John Nkomo, etc. Whatever Professor Moyo has been saying about SADC and President Zuma, he certainly took his clue from Mugabe himself. The dictator himself had told SADC leaders following their criticism of him in Zambia that no one could “dictate” to him. The dictator is clearly sensing that from now on the regional body will be putting him under increased pressure to carryout some democratic reform – reforms that will result in free and fair elections and, therefore, certain defeat for him and his party! Regime change is simply unthinkable and if the only way out is to part company with SADC then so be it! So Mugabe fired the opening diplomatic volley and Professor Moyo is ratchet it up! And not surprisingly, “erratic” President Zuma and the brain-dead within Zanu PF itself have swallowed hook, line and sinker! It is now just a matter of time; President Zuma and SADC are set to make democratic demands in an election road map for Zimbabwe. Demands, Mugabe will claim, undermine the independence and sovereignty of Zimbabwe and are therefore unacceptable. Mugabe will then take Zimbabwe out of SADC before the regional body kick Zimbabwe out; just as he pre-empted similar action by Commonwealth a few years ago! Mugabe and Moyo know they can no longer count on SADC to stop regime change in Zimbabwe and so instead of waiting for SADC to pick the fight, the two are taking the fight to SADC! At first glance, it looks like the two are mad, but on closer scrutiny, there is certainly a method in their madness!
