Mugabe "rejects" election violence and rigging: hyena calling for a midnight peace conference!


Mugabe said: “Zanu-PF versus MDC harisi game rezvibhakera. People make a choice. We are called upon to make choices all the time. You want this, you do not want this. You want this woman, ungandidawo? Ah, akasakuda yavamhosva. Ndarambirwei? Handizvo.

"We rejected this. We will ensure that there won't be any violence, that there won't be any rigging. We want now to build the nation and build a country.

“Our yesterday was unfortunate. We will try to transform into a tomorrow which is much more enjoyable, much more uplifting and enabling our people to enjoy it.”

This is a classic example of the bully at his most arrogant: he belittles all the suffering he has subjected you to in the past and quickly moves on, keen as mustard, to be seen to be the one offering the olive branch whilst crashing his victim’s toes under his boot, just to rub it in that the torment has only just begin.  

Mugabe and Zanu PF have made life hell for millions of Zimbabweans these last 33 years.

Gross mismanagement, rampant corruption and an all-out looting spree by Mugabe and his cronies have left millions of Zimbabweans living in abject poverty.

The regime has ridden rough shod over the people denying them their basic rights and freedom including the right to a meaningful vote and the right to life itself. Over 30 000 innocent Zimbabweans have been murdered in Mugabe’s drive to establish and retain the Zanu PF dictatorship.

Millions of Zimbabweans have been force to leave the country to escape the economic suffering and/or the political oppression.

All the economic and political misery Mugabe has cause these last 33 years Mugabe is sweeping aside with a passing “Our yesterday was unfortunate.”  

Mugabe said working together in the coalition government which came into office after the violent 2008 vote had helped ease distrust between the country’s major political parties.

Taimboti muroyi uyu (Tsvangirai), iye achitivo mudhara uyo anonzi anetwake twaakabata. Takazobvisana huroyi wani,” the veteran leader joked.

 

If working together in the GNU had ended the distrust then why did he stubbornly refuse to have the democratic reforms implemented? Why does the nation still have no free media and freedom of expression? Why were democratic reforms to free key state institutions like ZRP, Army, Judiciary, etc. from Zanu PF control not implemented?

 

All these democratic reforms are absolutely necessary if the nation is there are to be no violence, vote rigging, etc. How can Mugabe be genuine about not stopping violence, vote rigging, etc. and yet refuse to implement the minimum measures necessary to stop these very things.

 

This Copac constitution, “dictated” by Mugabe himself will never deliver any of the people’s basic rights and freedoms including free and fair elections.

 

Mr Mugabe if you are really serious about finally starting to rebuild the nation and accept the last 33 years have been a total waste then you should know that you attempt to date have failed because you were building on sand.

Mugabe’s attempt at nation building these last 33 years have been a total failure because no nation can thrive and prosper when the majority are denied their basic rights freedoms and the ruling elite are free to do as they please.

 

All this cosy relationship with Tsvangirai and MDC does not change the fundamental facts that the Zanu PF dictatorship was not dismantled and is alive and thriving. Mugabe can claim that the Copac constitution is “home-grown” and Tsvangirai that it is “MDC’s brain child” that does not change it’s DNA - dictator’s creed DNA.

 

This new attempt to build the nation will fail as surely as the attempts of the last 33 years because no amount of whitewashing can change the factor that the nation is still under a ruthless dictatorship.  

 
No, Mugabe is nothing but the laughing hyena calling the sheep to a midnight peace conference; it is not peace that is on Mugabe or the hyena’s mind!

Well that Mugabe would view a MDC win as a easier way out for himself is possible scenario certainly although my guess is the Zanu PF dictatorship have tasted absolute power and all the goods it brings; they will not want to give it up. They are fighting like wild- cats amongst themselves and Tsvangirai is too naive and a feather weight to be considered a serious challenger.

None of the Zanu PF factions would even want Tsvangirai to head their challenge, if they can help it, because it would give the other side an easy target. The West has lost confidence in Tsvangirai for exactly the same reason – he is an easy target with a propensity to shoot himself in the foot and shoot all those next to him too!

The new constitution and the situation on the ground give Mugabe and Zanu PF overwhelming political and economic power already. Even an MDC win will guarantee Zanu PF seats in cabinet – it is unthinkable Tsvangirai would do anything else but seek to appease Zanu PF with choice cabinet positions.

This election is there for Mugabe and Zanu PF to lose because they control every aspect of the election process and have a war-chest of Marange diamonds money to pay for all party activities. Mugabe’s greatest worry is not to overcook it; use violence, vote rigging, etc. yes but keep them subtle. That is easier said than done given the fact he has some hot-heads in the party.

Regime change are my view and that of millions of other Zimbabweans. Mugabe and Zanu PF are a dictatorship and thus gave themselves the tyrannical power to reject these views. The dictatorship still have these absolute powers and Tsvangirai and MDC have connived to let Mugabe enjoy these powers!

And you are what is wrong in Africa, you are gullible. Mugabe is talking peace and free and fair elections but meanwhile has done nothing to dismantle the dictatorship. This Copac constitution is rubbish because it will do nothing to dismantle the dictatorship and yet you want to embrace it as the panacea to the country's problem - that is because you are politically gullible and naive!
