Incompeyent Tsvangirai has failed to end dictatorial rule in Zimbabwe!

MDC is letting the people of Zimbabwe down by their failure to properly document the Zanu PF inspired political violence and the Police’s failure to arrest the thugs responsible. Two MDC supporters were murdered last week alone.

We all know that the Police do nothing to investigate and punish all Zanu PF inspired violence including murder and has happened here. But has MDC itself done enough to pressure the Police to do their work?

Did MDC gather all the necessary evidence; a doctor to certify the cause of death, get sworn statements from the witnesses, take the photos of the victim and scene, the name of the Police Officer(s) to whom the murder was reported, what follow up has been carried out locally and with other relevant authorities, etc. It is not enough to say that the Police are not doing anything to end political violence; we need documentary evidence to prove it beyond all reasonable doubt.

Although hundreds of Zimbabweans have been murdered in cold blood in the last three years and those responsible are known it will be no surprise if even a handful of the Zanu PF thugs will ever be convicted in the future for lack of evidence. Indeed, MDC does not even have an accurate record of the number of MDC supporters who have been murdered let alone evidence to convict those responsible. Mwonzora admitted “we suspect that there are more that have not been reported yet.”

“We are very worried because political violence is on the rise. We are also filled with a sense of hopelessness on the part of the MDC in government, because we are unable to protect our supporters,” Mwonzora said. Typical!

Mugabe and Zanu PF are brutal tyrants and murderers. Tsvangirai and MDC on the other hand are both naïve and incompetent. Of course an incompetent leader is infinitely better than a murderous one but this is not a beauty contest and to view it as such is to miss the point. Tsvangirai and MDC were elected on the ticket of ending the Mugabe and Zanu PF dictatorship and they have singularly failed in that task because they are incompetent!
