Some people have come out in support of the
Nottingham based Dr Sylvester Nyatsuro’s proposed Zimbabwe Diaspora
Skills Network (ZDSN). Whist all of them agree that the network alone will not
stop the country’s health service from collapse much less turn it into the modern
service it should be; still they applaud the Dr for his good intentions!
It
must be stated here and now that Dr Nyatsuro is NOT some throw back of Nadile Homominid (the human
like creature whose remains were discovered in South Africa a few weeks ago)
with the brain the size of an orange and therefore unable to judge right from
wrong. Dr Nyatsuro’s photograph showed that he has all the outside appearances
of a modern man complete with homo sapiens size head and, presumably, housing a
normal homo sapiens size brain. Unless someone can prove that our Dr Nyatsuro
has nonetheless a brain no bigger than an orange with the rest of the brain
cavity filled with blabber and is therefore incapable of discerning right from
wrong.
If Dr Nyatsuro is not some throwback Nadile
Homominid then he must know that the road to hell is paved with good
intentions! It is no exaggeration to say in the last 35 years Mugabe has turned
Zimbabwe into some hell-on-earth and naïve and gullible Zimbabweans like Dr
Nyatsuro with all their misplace good intentions have paved the tyrant’s way.
Mugabe would have never lasted all those year
much less thoroughly destroy the nation without the help of the millions of
ordinary Zimbabweans.
Any modern human, Homo
sapiens, with a fully functional brain – not one choked with blabber – would
have understood that the nation’s greatest challenge from 18 April 1980, the
day Zimbabwe attained her independence, going forward was to ensure ALL
Zimbabweans enjoyed the pre-independence promises and aspiration of freedom,
justice, liberty, peace and economic prosperity. We dosed off from the word go!
It did
not take long to see that Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs had no intention of
honouring the freedoms and human rights of the ordinary people as the regime
set off at a tangent to establish its de facto one-party dictatorship to secure
absolute political power and the unfettered access to the nation’s wealth and
riches. For 35 years the nation has failed to confront Mugabe and tell him in
no uncertain terms that his corrupt, incompetent and oppressive regime was the
opposite of what the nation had fought for and dreamt of before independence.
And that his autocratic system of government was the root cause of all the
nation’s economic and political problems.
Instead
of confronting Mugabe the nation has spent the last 35 years like some lost
tribe of Nadile Homominids, who can see that something is not right but whose
brain capacity was too shallow to comprehend the root cause and so has settled
to addressing the peripheral issues instead.
Tsvangirai
and his MDC friends were tasked to implement the democratic reforms designed to
dismantle the Zanu PF dictatorship. They were given 18 months to do this and
they stretched it to 60 months and, surprise, surprise they still failed to get
even one single reform implemented. It was SADC Heads who complained that MDC
leaders “were busy enjoying themselves and forgot why they were in government”,
in sheer frustration.
Zimbabwe’s
lost tribe of Nadile Homominids failed to realize the importance of 2008 GPA
reforms in ending the Zanu PF dictatorship and so they did not appreciate the
seriousness of MDC’s failure to implement the reforms. Even today with the
benefit of two years hindsight since the rigged July 2013 elections many
Zimbabweans have still failed to understand the critical importance of
implementing the democratic reforms as the only way the nation will ever get
out of this hell-on-earth Mugabe and Zanu PF landed us in.
Instead
of focusing on implementing the reforms former MDC Deputy Prime Minister,
Arthur Mutambara, himself a former Robotics Professor, was calling on
Zimbabweans to form Former Pupils Clubs, for example, to raise funds to assist
their former schools in buying books. Zimbabwe’s economic decline had been
relentless and the economic hardships were felt by all across the board. I
totally subscribe to the notion that every little helps still not when the
little is a shovel of dirty to dam the mighty Zambezi River!
Arthur
Mutambara’s Former Pupils Clubs was not going to save Zimbabwe’s collapsing education
system no more than Dr Nyatsuro and his Zimbabwe Diaspora Skills Network’s donation
of bandages past their use-by date to some rural clinic drag that clinic out of
the dark ages into the 21 st century. All those in the Former Pupil Clubs would
have done better reminding the pompous Robotics Professor to implement the
reforms just as our Dr Nyatsuro will do better demand the implementation of the
same 2008 GPA reforms today.
People
like Dr Nyatsuro with their offer of a box of bandages must publicly
acknowledge that they are offering a painkiller at best and not a cure and that
they will only reach an insignificant number of people. It is totally
irresponsible that for people like Dr Nyatsuro should announce their ZDSN from
the rooftop giving the nation the impression he is offering them a cure because
like it or not they are, tacitly at least, endorsing Mugabe’s no regime change
agenda!
The
corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship is the disease that is
killing Zimbabwe and free, fair and credible elections is the cure! The last
thing we want is some Nadile Homominids like Dr Nyatsuro confusing the nation
with their shovel of dirty to dam the mighty Zambezi River solutions!

Tsvangirai had his best chance yet to remove President Mugabe and end this Zanu PF dictatorship during the GNU, all he had to do was implement the democratic reforms. He had five years to do it, he was supposed to have one and half years but he had five years instead and yet still failed to get even one reform implemented. Not even one reform!
A few MDC leaders have since admitted they messed up big time by failing to implement the re-forms. Tendai Biti had admitted to their "collective idiocy"!
You have had two years for the truth of what happened during the GNU to sink in so how anyone with any brain can still say the “only opposition leader who can and has beaten Mugabe in an elec-tion is Morgan Tsvangirai” beggars belief. Tsvangirai sold-out, which part of "sold-out" do you not understand here?
As for Mai Mujuru, yes she and her People First are the only ones who will beat Mugabe and Mnangagwa at his rigging game but that is if we fail to get even one reform implemented before the next elections. With half-wits like you propping up a sell-out like Tsvangirai this is quite possible. But what you must understand is Mujuru will beat Mugabe not because she is a democratic but because she has some supporters embedded in Zanu PF who will make it difficult for the latter to rig the elections.
Once elected back into power do you really believe that Mujuru, Mutasa, Gumbo, etc. will want to implement any of the reforms? Rhetorical question; you are naïve and gullible enough to believe they are now democrats because they said so in the manifesto!
Well the more pragmatic ones amongst us know that once elected Mujuru will want to consolidate her hold on power by implementing the same patronage system Mugabe has pursued all these last 35 years. She will be taking up her corrupt activities from where she left off last year when she was kicked out of the party.
If you intention is to remove Mugabe at all cost then yes the Tsvangirai and Mujuru coalition may achieve that; nothing is guaranteed since Mugabe has outwitted the two in the past with the greatest of easy.
Personally I think we should aim at implementing ALL the reforms so we have free, fair and credible elections, the pre-requisite for good governance and economic recovery. We are NOT going to get any reforms implemented with Tsvangirai in any leadership position – he sold out before and has already said he will do so again by proposing to implement a watered down revised list of reform!
We have waited for free and fair elections and good government all our lives; it is in our power to finally put all the years of betrayal and disappointments and end the waiting. This a very important matter and let me say it here and now village idiots like Mai Mujuru and Tsvangirai will never be entrusted to see this one through, it is just too important to let such proven idiots handle. The two idiots are finished, they are history; this message has clearly not sunk in yet but it will!
@ mudhara
Mudhara the problem with people like you is that you are easily fooled; people like Mugabe, Tsvangirai, Mujuru, etc. take two step forward and you make a big song and dance about these achievements. You are so taken in by the two steps forward you fail to notice the twenty steps they took backwards.
It was for MDC to implement the democratic reforms during the GNU they failed to get even one reform implemented because Mugabe bribed them to kick reforms into the tall grass. They took the bribes and kick the reforms into the tall grass. Tsvangirai et al sold out during the GNU you can deny it all you want find all manner of excuses for them, etc. that will not change the historic fact that the sold-out.
Mai Mujuru is corrupt and incompetent; she has achieved nothing all her years in power other than join in the looting. Vince is desperate to into government and will wed, politically, Mai Mujuru today if he was sure she will get back into power. There is a mountain of evidence showing Mai Mujuru and her People First will be nothing more than Zanu PF mark2, but Vince is not interested in that, all he wants is someone to help him get into power.
Of course Vince is free to get into bed with any sell-out, corrupt or whatever political thug he chooses but he should not pretend he is doing so because any one of these failed leaders is "part of the Zimbabwe solution"! He should just do it and stop asking silly questions.
"Mugabe is still a master tactician," said Noyes. Noyes is absolutely right there, Mugabe is a master tactician but then that is a very relative term. Noyes will have to agree that Mugabe has been lucky to have some of the most breathtakingly incompetent and corrupt opponent to deal with.
Tsvangirai had five years to implement the democratic reforms which would have stopped Mugabe rigging the 2013 elections. Mugabe bribed not just Tsvangirai but his entire entourage to do nothing about the reforms and he pulled it off. One of Tsvangirai's assistance has since admitted MDC's failure to get even one reform implemented was "collective idiocy" on their part.
His challengers within his own party, Simon Muzenda, Joice Mujuru, Emmerson Mnangagwa, etc. have all turned out to be simpletons whom he twisted round his little finger at will. Mugabe has been able to change the party's constitution at will and has always managed to elect those next to him contrary to what the members wanted.
With idiots and simpletons to deal with one does not have to be a "master tactician" to outwit that lot!
