Zanu PF Manicaland province has written
to the politburo, the highest decision-making body in the party other than
congress (well it would be better to say the highest rubber-stamping body
because the party constitution means nothing, it is Mugabe who decide and
everyone else follows) to endorse their decision to expel Didymus Mutasa.
I hope Didymus Mutasa is smart enough
to know that sometimes the best defence is offence. Politics is a game of
chess, the opponent threats to take your Knight counter by threatening to take
their Queen. It will be even better if, by threatening their Queen, you also
threat their King.
Mutasa has lost his post as Minister
after 34 years as Minister of this and Minister of that. He has also lost his
seat as politburo member after ever since Zanu PF was born! Being expelled by
the province will only mean he is no long an ordinary card-carrying member.
Being kicked out of cabinet and the politburo
is equivalent of the bull hippo being driven out of the only remaining pool at
the start of drought. He will have nowhere to wallow to escape the fly, biting tsetse
flies, the sun and the heat and, to crown it all, there are no lady hippos out
here – not even the ugly of the ugly.
“Samuel Udenge, the provincial
chairperson, said yesterday that his executive committee would not rescind its
decision to have Mutasa expelled from the party, and had already written to the
politburo to this effect,” reported the Daily News.
“Mutasa, however dismissed contemptuously the recommendation of his home province to expel him, saying the only Zanu-PF he knew and recognised was the one that existed before the "criminal congress" held in Harare last month.”
“Mutasa, however dismissed contemptuously the recommendation of his home province to expel him, saying the only Zanu-PF he knew and recognised was the one that existed before the "criminal congress" held in Harare last month.”
Stripping Mutasa of ordinary member
status is more like the mud-skippers banishing the bull hippo from the shallows;
no wonder Mutasa dismissed the move with contempt, the shallows is home for
mud-skippers and not for hippo, not even baby hippos!
Mutasa has lost everything; he must now
go for broke, he must make his big check-mate move – challenge the “criminal congress”
in Court.
“Kana wadya gudo, chidya mombo!” so says
the Shona adage! (If you are forced to eat a baboon then eat the big fat male!)
It makes sense; you do not want to eat a skinny sick one with fur falling off
like a dog with a skin disease!

Zanu PF is imploding those who refuse to admit are deluding themselves!
"We condemn all activities that tarnish the image of the party. We have seen land barons running cooperatives abusing people in the name of the party," said ZANU-PF national political commissariat Saviour Kasukuwere.
He said his mandate was to cleanse the party of all renegade elements and set up substantive provincial structures by end of March this year.
These land barons are doing what you, Comrade Commissar Kasukuwere and all the other chefs in the Central Committee and Politburo including Comrade First Secretary Gabriel Mugabe and his wife and extended family have all been doing for all these last 35 years – looting. If you are serious about cleansing the party then you should have done so years ago when corruption first reared its ugly head. Now it is too late because corruption has spread from the stem to the smallest twig of every branch and down to hairs of the roots.
Zanu PF is rotten to the core and all Kasukuwere is doing is removing a few shrivelled up leaves, the most immediate signs of the diseased tree. Zanu PF cannot be saved from itself but we save the nation from Zanu PF and the possibility of another tyrannical dictatorship ever arising in the future by cutting down the diseased tree and dig up its roots and incinerate everything.
Minister Obert Mpofu’s Zimbabwe Mail is failing to pay it workers and the rent and will be forced to stop operating soon if nothing changes.
The development comes barely two weeks after Mpofu handed back his banking licence to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe rendering about 250 workers at the Allied Bank jobless.
Mpofu can now confirm to Mugabe when he arrives from his extended French holiday that companies are indeed closing down, it is not Western propaganda!
Zanu PF youths are to spend $ 100 000 on Mugabe’s birthday bash in Victoria Fall.
Here we go, the nation is in total economic meltdown and all these morons can think about is how to spend the little the nation has on yet another extravaganza for Mugabe!
@Msiyanwa
Msiyanwa you are shallow and it is impossible for reason and logic to penetrate that damba; that is a fact – the fact that you finding it an insult too is irrelevant, I am dealing with facts nothing more and will not spare an idiot’s misplaced ego.
In the 2013 elections there were no fewer than 28 political parties in Zimbabwe; they did not save the nation getting into this mess we now find ourselves. It is not the need for more political parties that Zimbabwe is in the mess but for quality political parties; quality not quantity you nincompoop!
How are we going to get the quality politicians and political parties? From quality electorate; voters who are amenable to reason and logic and not follow blindly like sheep.
You, me and every Zimbabwean out there have the democratic right to vote for whomever we like but like all rights this comes with a duty – the duty to oneself, others and posterity to vote for a competent and good leader.
It is not enough for you to say “But the GNU ended 2013 and the reforms are not there” and walk away. Ask why the reforms were not implemented and the answer, in this case is, because Tsvangirai and the other MDC leaders are corrupt and incompetent. So you, as an MDC supporter, fcuked up on your duty to the nation by voting for a corrupt and incompetent leader and party. What is making this worse is you refusal to learn from that mistake and thus continue to support the same corrupt and incompetent village idiots regardless the evidence before us all that they are just that corrupt and incompetent village idiots!
Tsvangirai landed us into this s***t by failing to implement the reforms; what else does the idiot have to do to finally convince you that he is an idiot?
The right to vote is a blessing but only when the electorate use it wisely; in the hands of morons like you who refuse to think and see reason, it has become a curse. Zimbabwe is not going to get out of this hell-hole Mugabe dragged us into as long as we have an electorate whose brains have ossified, after all the years of sloth-like inactivity, into a lump of fat impermeable to reason.
The right to vote has been wasted on you, Msiyanwa; that is not an insult, it is a fact!
@ Mudzingwa
I am not a Zanu PF supporter. Mugabe is a corrupt and murderous tyrant and I am totally opposed to eve-rything he has done and is doing.
Decades of absolute power has turned Zanu PF leaders inbred swine whose appetite for power and wealth is insatiable having looted everything of value and ruining the country they are now turning on which other like vultures fighting over the remaining scraps. Decades of brutal repression of the ordinary people including the murder of over 30 00 innocent civilians has turned Mugabe and his cronies into an army of Wizard of Oz tin-man. They have no hearts!
Zanu PF cannot be saved from itself; it is too late for that because it is rotten to the core. Zanu PF is like a tree infected with one of those deadly fungal diseases that has is now in the stem, branches, twigs, leaves and down into the roots right up to the root-hairs! The tree must be cut down, the roots dug up and everything incinerated. By so doing we will save the nation from Zanu PF and the possibility of a similar tyrannical dictatorship ever emerging again.
At the very best Tsvangirai and his MDC friends accept that Mugabe and Zanu PF have failed the nation. Whilst I am calling for the totally dismantling of the Zanu PF dictation by implementing ALL the demo-cratic reforms Tsvangirai and company failed to implement even one reform. They are corrupt and incompetent not to see that this nation will never get out of this hell-on-earth Mugabe has landed us until ALL the democratic reforms are implemented.
Your problem Mudzingwa and all the other minions in MDC is that you can see that Mugabe and Zanu PF have failed and they must go but what you are failing to see is that Tsvangirai and MDC are just too corrupt and incompetent to force Mugabe and Zanu PF out of power. Tsvangirai has many golden opportunities to end this Zanu PF dictatorship but again and again he has wasted them.
“Tie yourself with explosives and blow up yourself near the shake shake building,” you say. There will be another opportunity to implement the reforms and I will see to it that they are ALL implemented. Since it is you at MDC how have run out of ideas, I will leave you to blow yourself up – you will not be missed, God knows we have more than our fair share of nincompoops!
@Msiyamwa
Dear Lord, give me patience.
Mseyamwa, how do you know the failure to implement the democratic reforms "will not recur"?
You do not have a clue what the reforms are never did. Tsvangirai does not have a clue of what the re-forms and never did. MDC failed to implement even one reform because they never understood what these reforms are and the public allowed them to do get away with it because they in turn did not understand what these reforms were.
The only we can be sure that the reforms are ALL implemented next time is to make sure that the public understand what they are and they elect leaders who too understand what these reforms are and are competent to see them implemented. That is the task before us now and we must not take our eyes off the ball.
You do not have the foggiest idea what the reforms are and you pledge you support to Tsvangirai who too has no idea what the reforms are; that shows you have learnt nothing.
“. . . no individual or sequestered group of individuals can be entrusted with our freedom. We have to march into the streets for ourselves,” you say. March for what?
Freedom is not an apple that you can expect Mugabe to give you and you can stand in the street corner and show all those who have been marching in the street with you so you can all go home having accomplished your set goal. If you want freedom then you must want ALL the democratic reforms implemented. Do you know what there are? No! Do you know who knows what these reforms are and can trust to have them implemented this time? Tsvangirai! S***t!
Over 300 000 Zimbabweans lost their lives in the fight for freedom, justice, human rights and dignities and yet today the nation is still talking of going back on the street to fight the very people who claim to have liberated the nation for the same s***t! The nation did not have a clear idea how to secure freedom, etc. back then it has no idea of how to secure them now.
“We have to march into the streets for ourselves!” Of course, the marching in the street has become more important than the why are we marching! Your inability to see the futility of this rat race you want the nation to join in is astonishing!
@ Patrick
Which is why we are in this hell. You cannot make a silk purse out of sow's ear; we have one of the poorest quality voters and it is near impossible to get a healthy and functional democracy with such an electorate.
"It is the first time that we heard of a former vice president who has been reduced to a card carrying member. It only took someone with amazing guts to challenge a president who has just won a landslide election. She should have listened and been loyal to the president," said Professor Moyo.
This is what is really annoying of the Zanu PF leadership they treat everyone as if they are com-plete idiots. Professor Moyo was speaking at the Zimbabwe Staff College and everyone in the audience would know that the 2013 elections were rigged. Indeed some of the listeners would even have played an active and decisive role in the vote rigging and yet the Minister is lecturing to them as they are ten year old who witnessed the vote rigging but failed to understand what it all meant.
I sure hope Professor Moyo said “a president who has just won a landslide election,” followed by a wink, wink! It would have assured his listeners that he is not being his usual arrogant and condescending self.
"A stupid fool cannot be corrected," Mugabe said referring to former presidential affairs minister Mutasa. The contemptuous arrogance of the demigods is insufferable.
It is now absolutely imperative that Mutasa lodges a legal challenge because we desper-ately need to end Zimbabwe’s banana republic image in which there is no rule of law. Mugabe’s whim is the new and only law.
“What can we do with a stray donkey? A stray ass... I never knew that he could be this foolish not to understand how the party operates...it’s being stupid; he is a foolish stupid person,” Mugabe said, talking of Mutasa.
It is not necessarily courage that makes the drunk man sing in the dead of night, it fear; he is hoping to drive the mice away and the people to run to his aid if he should scream.
Mugabe is drunk on absolute power; he is so addicted to the drug he showed last De-cember that he would stop at nothing to remain in power. In his desperation to retain power, he disregarded the party’s electoral procedures; he knows that. Now he is hoping that his bombastic drunken rhetoric will frighten Didymus Mutasa, the mouse, out of his wits and never go through with the threatened court challenge.
Let us hope that Mutasa will, for the first time ever, stand up to this village bully tactics and go ahead with the Court challenge!
@ Ken
“In spite of years of despicable oppression and ill-treatment under white colonial rule, I can’t help, but observe that when given the chance, Africans in general cannot treat themselves and their kind any better than they were treated by colonialists,” you said. It saddens me to read because I know it is the truth. If it was not true, I would have taken it as an insult and would have angrily shot back or ignored it.
When I was in primary school, in seventh grade, I learnt about the slavery and slave trade. I was struck by the bit that it was not the white men who went into the interior of Africa to hunted and capture the blacks. It was the fellow blacks who hunted the own kith and kin and sold them to the whites as slaves for a piece of calico cloth and a handful of beads.
I have often wondered how many blacks who yesteryear had sold their own kith and kin as slaves found themselves in chain before the slave trade was done? No doubt the howled like dogs at the injustice of it all.
Slavery was abolished centuries ago, thank God; sadly the trade by blacks in the suffering and misery of their fellow blacks did not stop it has continued to this day and for the equivalent of the same piece of calico cloth too.
All the corruption by this Mugabe dictatorship involves somewhere along the line the sale of human misery and live for selfish political gain by the leaders. Tsvangirai and his MDC friends accepted bribes from Mugabe, include a $4 million mansion for Tsvangirai, so they not implementing the democratic reforms which would have ended Mugabe’s reign of terror. For Tsvangirai the house is a great fortune but was it really worth betraying 12 million fellow Zimbabweans?
When Tsvangirai was quizzed on mansion bribe he has angrily retorted, “Where did you want me to live? In the bush?”
Blacks will sale their own mothers for any price and be proud they had a mother to sale! That is why Africa, for all its riches and abundance, it still remains the most backward continent and it is hard to see how anything will ever change.
In Zimbabwe Mugabe, Mutasa and other took the nation one step forward in end white colonial rule but since independence they have taken the nation ten steps back. And yet to this day, they still make a big song and dance of the one step as if freedom, justice, human rights and human dignity they have systematically denied other in the ten steps back are not important and never were. What makes this worse is that even those who claim to be passionate about freedom, human rights, etc. join in the big song and dance! I do despair!
@ Chinyoka
"In the party, he and every other member hold the same number of votes, even though he might be in leadership, for now," you say.
He changed the constitution so that Zanu PF member have no vote what so ever as it is he who appoint all the two VPs and politburo members and can instruct his thugs to force a vote of no confidence in the provincial leaders to appoint those he want! So what are you wittering about Mugabe has the same number of votes as everyone?
“Tinomudaishe Chinyoka Member, Zanu PF (UK) – (until they pass a vote of no confidence or fire me, whichever occurs first),” you signed off.
Well you have answered the question. You are fishing to be fired by Zanu PF so you can seek asylum in the UK as a victim of the Zanu PF purge after all the years of working as a Zanu PF thug. You can fool the British but you will never fool the ordinary Zimbabweans, we know you lot have shed innocent blood and will never work for freedom and human rights for all! Never!
@ Wilddong
I agree with what you have said but with one little qualification. I would like to believe that Whoopi Goldberg married this white man because she loved him and not because he is white (and, from your inference, therefore superior to a black man).
What I have found so disappointing about my fellow blacks is our failure to grasp the simple concept of doing unto others as we would want them to do unto us. It is a quantum leap which other people have made centuries ago and yet here we are in the 21st century and blacks are still grappling to grasp it.
When Tsvangirai and his fellow MDC leaders accepted Mugabe’s bribe in return for doing nothing about the reforms they were doing what Mugabe and his Zanu PF cronies have been doing by ac-cepting the bribes of power in return for working together to establish and retain the Zanu PF dictatorship. Their actions are no different from the blacks who hunted down their kith and kin and sold them as slaves for a piece of calico cloth. These blacks would have answered with Tsvangirai “Did you want me to go naked?”
So someone’s hopes, dreams, freedoms, human life and his/her very humanity; these are priceless and you trade them for a piece of calico cloth! These are your own people you are selling like mangoes or oranges? You own flesh and blood! Where does one start to explain that even baboon have a sense of this is a baboon from the same troop as me and therefore must be treated with a degree of consideration?
Where? How does one explain to someone like Tsvangirai that it is immoral that the Zanu PF tyranny should be allowed to exist for even one day longer and one Zimbabwean suffer for that one day in return for his getting a house. Only a moron would think the suffering of 12 million people under this corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF regime for God only knows how many more years is a bargain in return for his house!
The story does not end there, the 12 million Tsvangirai betrayed so callously last time, are ready to elect him so he can go back on the gravy train; they do not have the foggiest idea what happened last time. The country boost of a 91% literacy rate and yet the level of illiteracy of matters of com-mon sense and those affecting their daily lives even amongst those holding University degrees is simply unbelievable!
"We have a legacy of fighting for freedom and bringing the one-man-one-vote principle to the country and that is what we should preserve for the future generations, not this culture of casti-gating fellow comrades just to stay in power," Rugare Gumbo said.
"We don't want high positions in the party and neither do we want to oust anyone. What we are simply demanding is accountability, democracy and transparency in our party and, therefore, we stand by the statement that was made by Mutasa," he said, describing his expulsion from Zanu-PF last month as a legal nullity.
"Nobody can just come and fire me from Zanu-PF. It is our party, it belongs to the people. Those who think they can just sit and fire us are lying to themselves," he said –
I would salute you Mr Gumbo, if only you did not think that only Zanu PF members were entitled to one-man-one-vote, democracy, etc. But if you had seen these values and rights as the rights of ALL Zimbabweans, regardless of whether they are Zanu PF members or not, and the founda-tion of a free, just and prosperous nation then you would have noticed that Zanu PF has been denying us all these things for the last 35 years.
Still the best thing you can do to the nation now is to challenge the legality of Mugabe’s blatant disregard on the party’s constitution and democratic norms in a court of law and not just talk endlessly about it!
@ Wilddong
There is something wrong with the way blacks think; admitting that is an important first step be-cause it opens the mind to self-critic.
Education, which has helped other nations open their minds, has had little effect on many blacks. Mugabe has no fewer than seven University degrees and most members of his various cabinets have had university degrees but you would not think so looking at the complete fcuk up they have made of the economy and everything!
@Wilddong
Mugabe was tyrant who wanted a one-party state in Zimbabwe from the word go and so did Joshua Nko-mo and his Zapu. No matter how hard one may try to rationalise it, one-party state is incompatible with democratic value of granting everyone a meaningful say in the governance of the country.
Mugabe wanted free education, economic prosperity for all, etc. but they were all strictly on his terms - he was to be the top dog whose word was not to be questioned by anyone.
When it became increasingly evident that his economic policies were doomed to fail he resorted to his default tyrannical setting and started to dig in and impose his will with increasing brutality.

Black Zimbabweans have been dying for their right to have a meaningful say in the governance of the country and for regime change and rightly so too. So why do you say it is the West and not Zimbabweans who want Mugabe out? You have such a low opinion of blacks that you do not think they are capable of articulating what is in their own interest!
“It will need those who were thrown out like Joice Mujuru, Didymus Mutasa and others to change their midset. They have been thrown out of Zanu PF but the question is for them to re-invent themselves and if they are unable to re-invent themselves then everything else will continue and Zanu PF will continue to damage country,” said Professor Shadreck Guto.
How does a murderous tyrant like Mutasa whose hands are red with the blood of the innocent “re-invent” himself? Zanu PF has murder over 30 000 innocent Zimbabweans over the years, these were deliberate and calculated heinous crimes for selfish political gain. Are we supposed to forget all that and pretend it never happened?
Professor Shadreck Guto is the same idiot who cheered and applauded Mugabe and Zanu PF for years after independence whilst the regime rode roughshod over our hopes and dreams of freedom and human dignity; I hope he is not back to start another wave of his crap!
