The last minute and one day Zanu PF
primary are proving a headache for the party with many losing candidate complaining
of the usual cheating.
‘I’m not happy with the way the elections
were conducted and I’ve told the party I will contest as an independent,’ said
losing candidate. But ZANU PF has said it will block him filing his papers with
the nomination court.
‘I was told in confidence today
(Thursday) that the party will send youth members to the nomination court to
make sure that I do not present my papers with the court. They are telling me I
made my name through ZANU PF and as such there was no way they were going to
let me split the vote,’ he said. A “soup” of threats and brides will restore
peace in the party!
Mugabe has war-chest of $5
billion, at least. He will pay all the losing Zanu PF candidates $20k cash on
the nail plus a promise "to look after our own" to others and you
will be surprise how quickly the dust settles. It is corruption, looting, money
and power that have kept Zanu PF together all these years. Unlike 2008 when
Mugabe was scrapping the bottom of the barrow this year, thanks to the Marange
diamond windfall, Mugabe is awash with money.
Internal Zanu PF squabbles are the least of Mugabe's problems. He knows none of these men and women are honest and principled. They will all sell their own mothers for a price and be proud they had a mother to sell. Their blind loyalty is for sell and he has the money with which to buy it!
Mugabe's real problem is the wry Zimbabwean voters. He will spend billions buying them food and beer but can he trust them to vote for him? We all know they did not do so in the March 2008 vote. He is saddened that he cannot revert to using violence again as he did in 2008, not this year! The international community will declare him "illegitimate" and SADC will not lift a finger this time!

Matutu castigated Zanu-PF "for refusing to bring the much wanted reforms". This is the problem with MDC, they are in denial. The party has done nothing to implement not even one reform these last five years and now the last minute they push for reforms when it is too late. They really think every Zimbabwean is an idiot not to have picked on the party's breath-taking incompetence in the last five years.
Yes some MDC members are buying all this nonsense of Zanu PF "refusing" this and "refusing" that, even after five years and with a mountain of evidence showing MDC did not even try to get any meaningful reforms implemented.
MDC should real stop treating all Zimbabweans as if we are all as naïve and gullible as some of the party's members! It is bad enough the party failed to implement the reforms but one thing I will not accept is let these incompetent idiots insult me too in the bargain!
PRIME Minister Morgan Tsvangirai met three of the advance 10 member AU election observers. He said the deployment of the observers is crucial in creating an environment that guarantees credible elections.
I am wasting my breath in telling the PM that environment would have a cast iron guarantee if he had implemented the democratic reforms and written a democratic constitution. It is a waste of breath because after five years of telling him the same thing it is clear none of these things even sink in!
Zimbabweans simply have to come to terms with the reality that Tsvangirai is incompetent or this nation will going nowhere as the nation continue to blunder from pillar to post under his leader-ship.
The family of the late ZANU PF official Edward Chindori-Chininga, who died in a car accident last week, has insisted that his death was deliberate.
It is a great pity that the family and friends of the late MP should feel so strongly that this was no accident and yet go ahead and bury him. There should have employed an independent investigator and have the whole matter looked into BEFORE they buried him.
