In an Extra-ordinary Government Gazette, Mugabe has set June 28
for nominations elections are set for July 31.
New voter registration exercise is dead in the water!
All those democratic reforms that MDC have been demanding; they
are all dead in the water too!
It was clear Mugabe wanted to
present the 15 June SADC meeting with a fait accompli on the date of the
elections and lay to rest all talk of implementing reforms; that is exactly
what he has done! Only the politically naive had failed to see this coming. He
is the one dictating the Zimbabwe agenda not Tsvangirai or anyone else that is
the political reality in Zimbabwe and he is clearly relishing reminding MDC,
SADC and every other upstart out there!
Zimbabweans should seat up
right and take note: MDC NOT going to change anything in Zimbabwe.
If Tsvangirai and MDC had any
plan or strategy these last five years; then it was to appease Mugabe and Zanu
PF so they will be allowed on the gravy train. MDC have certainly delivered
that, they saw to it that not even one of the GPA democratic reforms saw the
light of day. And instead of a democratic constitution they allowed Mugabe to
dictate the Copac rubbish.
The Copac constitution gives
the Zanu PF dictatorship so much political and economic power that the
dictatorship will have to allow MDC to “win” these elections and the Zanu PF
dictatorship will be the real power behind the Tsvangirai led MDC government.
As CNN’s Becky Anderson rightly
pointed out; PM Tsvangirai and MDC have really done a great job these last five
years of making Mugabe and Zanu PF “legitimate” again after the sham 2008 elections.
SADC leaders have too vented
their frustration with PM Tsvangirai and his MDC friends accusing them of
becoming “too comfortable in government, forgetting their presence was meant to
create an environment conducive for credible, free and fair elections”.
Prime Minister Tsvangirai and
MDC’s biggest worry is whether or not Mugabe and Zanu PF will reward all they have
done to save the Zanu PF dictatorship and allow them back on the gravy train.
MDC is not worried about
losing the support of the Zimbabwe electorate; they have not even noticed that
MDC did not deliver even one democratic reform. Up to the March referendum MDC said
the Copac constitution would deliver free and fair elections; it is now evident
they lied. But what of it; the people have already forgotten MDC ever made that
promise and that is only three months ago.
The Zimbabwe electorate is so
slow in their thinking, Mugabe has been able to run circles round them all these
last 33 years and now even the incompetent Tsvangirai is doing the same. The
Zimbabwe electorate are like the sloth; you can fire a shotgun right in its
face and the most it will ever do is slowly blink once or twice, issue out an
almost imperceptible yawn and go back to sleep.
In Zimbabwe we have a
combination of an incompetent MDC and an electorate with the mental agility of
a sloth. It is no wonder then that a tyrant the likes of Mugabe is always doing
exactly as he please!

What you are failing to understand here is that anyone with any brain out there know the reforms were not implemented because Tsvangirai was incompetent to have them done. SADC leaders realize this although President Zuma is the only one naive enough not to see this.
Tsvangirai can boycott the elections if he so wishes because the reforms were not implemented but the world will know they were not implemented because he was incompetent to get the job done. Mugabe cannot be blamed for MDC's incompetence much less make the elections illegal!

Most people knew that the all the talk of implementing the reforms after the Copac constitution was approved was a waste of time. Mugabe outwitted Tsvangirai and MDC into doing nothing about the reforms for all these five years and not it is too late.
If I was President Zuma, I would fire my team on Zimbabwe because they have made him to look like a fool.
If I was an MDC member then I would be demanding a serious shake up of the party. MDC is certainly not a party of excellence but a party of breath-taking incompetence led by breathtakingly incompetent leaders.
I am a Zimbabwean voter and I will certainly never vote for MDC and will be urging other Zimba-bweans to do the same. A spoilt vote is better than voting for either Zanu PF or MDC!
“I, as PM, cannot and will not accept this,” Tsvangirai told journalists immediately after Mugabe made the announcement. What a joke!
You Prime Minister Tsvangirai should have implemented the democratic reforms and after five years you failed to have even one meaningful reform implemented. You should have never accepted the rubbish Copac constitution dictated by Mugabe; you did just that.
You have failed the people of Zimbabwe and this nation in failing to implement the re-forms, producing a democratic constitution and delivering free and fair elections. Your blundering incompetence is going to cost the nation dearly in lost wealth through looting and corruption and in broken limbs and lost lives through continued political repression.
You want the life of this dysfunction GNU extended beyond its statutory five years max-imum life for your own personal and selfish gain. The nation will not profit in any way by you staying in office even a single day longer than can be avoided.
Your betrayal of the people’s trust, hopes and dreams for free and fair elections is dis-gusting and unforgivable. Depart, I say and let the nation be done with you. Go and good riddance!
A very “smart” move Professor Ncube, get SADC to fight Mugabe on MDC's dirty fight with Mugabe by insisting Mugabe is insulting SADC leaders. Tinha dzirwe! Still I do not think SADC's leaders are that stupid to let themselves be so ill used by an up start like Professor Ncube.
How many times did SADC tell MDC to implement the reforms and you lot would not listen. SADC knows and have said that it was you people who had become "too comfortable in government, forgetting their presence was meant to create an environment conducive for credible, free and fair elections".
Other than your son's father-in-law, President Zuma, no one else in SADC was buying the nonsense of more time to implement the reforms. If you really think SADC is going to fight for MDC over this then SADC should put its foot down and tell you Professor, Tsvangirai and the rest of the MDC leadership that you are incompetent and must now pay the price for your incompetence. In short; SADC must tell MDC leaders to f*** o****!
