Bona attend high profile Japan meeting - is Mugabe parachuting her too into high office!

Many Zimbabweans were surprised to see that Mugabe’s daughter Bona not just accompanied her father on the trip to Japan but sat at the high table next to her father with Foreign Minister, Shimbarashe Mumbengegwi on the other side. Is she, like she mother last August, the latest Mugabe family member to be parachuted into high office from nowhere?

 “Zimbabwe has gone to the dogs!” was the pithy retort from MDC-T spokesman, “motor-mouth” Obert Gutu. Yes, Mr Gutu Zimbabwe has gone to the dogs; thanks to you and your MDC friend!

We would not be in this political hell, if MDC had implemented the democratic reforms design to ensure future elections were free, fair and credible. God knows MDC leaders had all the time – five years - and encouragement – from SADC and the international community - to do so. Unfortunately Obert Gutu and his MDC friends failed to implement even one reform.

The nation had Mugabe on the ropes during the GNU but by failing to implement the reforms MDC allowed the tyrant to recover, regroup and now he is back with vengeance to torment the nation.

If the nation had Mugabe on the ropes during the GNU years, it is now the tyrant who has the nation on the ropes. The country is facing serious economic meltdown and it is self-evident that Mugabe has given up hope of delivering any meaningful economic recovery. The only way to achieve any economic recovery is for Mugabe and Zanu PF to go. Go; that is the one thing Mugabe is clearly not going to do!

Mugabe had his wife parachuted from nowhere to take over as head Zanu PF Women’s League. He had her to publicly confront and denounce the then Vice President Joice Mujuru and in the end he fired Mujuru and 16 other senior party officials from government and for some from the party too.

He has publicly threatening any judge who dares hear the legal challenge of the way he bamboozled everyone during the party congress.

Mugabe appointed Mnangagwa first VP, raising the latter’s hopes that he was finally the heir apparent only to publicly crash those hopes a few weeks later by announcing that the succession race was still “wide open” and Mnangagwa may not even be on the starting line-up.

He is now parachutes his daughter, again out of nowhere, to attend a very high profile and very public conference. He must be preparing her for high office.

All these things are not the actions of someone who realises that the national economic is in total meltdown, he does not know what to do and therefore must step down. If Mugabe acknowledges that the national economy is in total meltdown then he certainly does not accept any responsibility for it. He will maintain to his dying day that it was the “sanctions imposed by the evil British and their Western allies” that destroyed the country’s economy.

Of course the sanctions have been a convenient cover; one of the big causes of the economic meltdown is the rampant corruption by the regime’s ruling elite. The country has had the generous bounty of the Marange and Chiadzwa diamonds valued at $ 800 billion, for example, which should have fuelled the country’s economic recovery but that did not happen because only Mugabe and a select few have benefited from this windfall.

Mugabe will never accept that his regime is corrupt much less that it must step down.

With 90% plus unemployed, 16% of the population already living in abject poverty and even government itself is so short of cash it is failing to pay civil servants let alone have money for anything else. So far the people have endured the economic hardships caused by the economic meltdown without once voicing their suffering but their patience must be wearing thin. There must be a limit beyond which the people are is bound to say enough is enough and demand regime change.

So we now have a country in total economic meltdown with the people desperate to have regime change as the only way to end their suffering, on the one hand. On the other hand we have the regime itself that will not even hear of it stepping down.

The tyrant is if fact busy parcelling up the country to his wife, daughter and his cronies as if the country is his own personal property.  Mugabe has his brutal and mindless thugs armed to the teeth to stop any street protests; it does not matter how peaceful the protests are he will use maximum violence to stop them. It will not take long before peaceful protesters turn into a rioting mob and hell will break lose.

During the GNU Mugabe was like a king cobra with its fangs pulled out and caged. By allowing ed Mugabe to rig the July 2013 elections, MDC allowed the snake escape from the cage and grow its fangs. Now we have thousands of these deadly snakes to deal with and they occupy the narrow mountain pass, our only escape route.

“Zimbabwe has gone to the dogs!” Obert Gutu tells us. Coming from one of the idiots who allowed Mugabe to rig the election and thus landed us in this hell; that is very annoying, indeed. All the idiot is angling for is the people to vote for him again so he can have another GNU with Zanu PF and another chance to share in the spoils of power.

After what Gutu and his MDC lot did last time it would sheer folly for the people of Zimbabwe to ever trust these idiots ever again!

What we need to end this corrupt and repressive Zanu PF dictatorship is to get all the democratic reforms implemented. If MDC failed to get even one reform implemented when they had everything in their favour during the GNU what chance is there for them to implement the reforms this time now when it is Mugabe who has the initiative? None!
