Mugabe is damned if punish the WikiLeaks plotters and damned if he does not!

Mugabe to hold the first Zanu PF party meeting since the publication of latest WikiLeaks in which many of his senior party members plotted his down fall. Some people expect a bloodbath!

“This is democracy. I believe in democracy and let’s discuss this issue. I addressed this issue in Mutare last week at our party meeting and our supporters agreed with it,’’ said Didymas Mutasa a senior Zanu PF member.

Mutasa talking of "democracy" in and a democratic discussion on the "sell-out"! Well there is a joke!

Since when has Zanu PF had any discussion on anything let alone a democratic one?

Mugabe may be seething with anger on the number of senior party members plotting his down fall. Still he should remember “He without sin should cast the first stone!” The WikiLeaks say that Mnangagwa had a every senior member of the party followed by a shadow in dark glass! Mugabe was well aware of this; surely that constitute a worse crime than making a statement of fact that X is old!

The only reason why Mutasa and Rugare Gumbo would want all those named in the WikiLeaks punished is so that they can be promoted. Mugabe knows he can not trust Mutasa or Gumbo no more than he trusted the WikiLeaks plotters.

Mugabe will find the plunging the likes of Mnangagwa and Jonathan Moyo easier said than done. These two have helped him stay in power all these years and the months ahead will be the toughest yet. What ideas will Mutasa or Gumbo offer him? Beside Mnangagwa and Moyo know too much already; if they should decide to spill the beans, Mugabe will be finished!

“Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer,” goes the adage. Mugabe is seething with anger not so much plotters but at the fact that their public exposure is making it near impossible for him to keep them closer than his friends without appearing to be weak!

Mugabe government threatening to sue the EU over targeted sanctions against him and 160 of his cronies. The sanctions were imposed for failing to hold free and credible elections. Mugabe is threatening to sue on the grounds that the EU failed to list and notify him of its reasons and not on the substantive issue of Zimbabwe’s institutionalised culture of political violence and murder.

Mugabe is known to be a stickler on matters of the law, he will make a big song and dance about every section, subsection, comma, dotting every i and crossing every t. When it suits him he will ignore or blatantly violate the very pillars on which a free and just society stand and then quote some minor point in an obscure regulation in defence. Here is a tyrant who has ruthlessly denied a whole nation a meaningful say in the governance of the country for three decades. When some one imposed so punitive measures to underline their disapproval of what he has been doing, he sues them on the grounds that they should have listed their objections and send them to him by registered mail marked FAO of His Excellence The President of the Republic of Zimbabwe. What a sick joke!
I am looking forward to the day the people of Zimbabwe will finally have their say after all these years of torment and abuse. They will not be imposing any targeted sanctions on Mugabe and his thugs: they will have the hangman’s rope!

Zimplats and Minister Kasukuwere agree to give Zimbabwe’s platinum mine company till 15 November to come up with an indigenisation plan giving blacks 51% of shares. The Minister rejected the mine’s last plan and threatened to cancel the company’s mining licence.

It is Mugabe and his cronies who will have these shares and will start cashing in their 51% shares before they have even paid for them. They will want to hold the top jobs in Zimplats complete with the posh office and expensive cars.

Zimbplats and all the other Zimbabwean mines, banks and businesses must not give in to Mugabe’s underhand tactics and sign away 51% of their shares. Appeasement will never work with Mugabe because his wasteful cronies will never be satisfied. They have destroyed the nation’s agricultural sectors and many other industries beside; they must not be allowed to destroy the few businesses left.

Chairman David Brown, there is no such thing as a “win-win” solution with someone whose only intention is to loot!

Zanu PF big wigs met and Mugabe failed to raise the issue of WikiLeaks sell-outs. He chicken out!

Zanu PF is a party of ruthless vultures who would happily make a meal of a fellow vulture with but a scratch. Yesterday it was Mugabe who had the scratch and the WikiLeaks sell-outs were quick to pounce. Today it is the sell-outs themselves who the scratches and the rest of the party members are hungrily licking their beaks!

Turning Zanu PF into a flock of ruthless vultures has helped Mugabe and his fellow thugs stay in power for over thirty years but now they are all paying the price, especially Mugabe himself! Whatever he does – punish the sell-out or not – he knows the blood letting within his party is almost inevitable! Zanu PF is a party that has lived and thrived on violence; it is no surprised that the party should have a violent end!

When you are vulture with deep refresh cuts, like Mugabe has, you do not want to in the thick of vulture feeding frenzy.
