“Former Vice President Joice Mujuru and her company, Ruzirun Investments, have approached the High Court seeking an order stopping a couple she owes money from attaching her property as she fears going "under liquidation or facing multiple claims”, reported Bulawayo 24.
“Mujuru owes over US$226 000 to Sabrina and Tony Sarpo, through their company Peppy Motors (Pvt) Ltd, which is demanding the money at the interbank rate.”
How the mighty and untouchables have fallen! Or as one would say in Shona, “Aiva madziva avamazambuko!”
Zanu PF cronies have amassed vast wealth at the very time the Zimbabwe economy was in rapid decline. These cronies was other exceptionally gifted business person and swum against the economic torrent with ease. Or they were the one behind the rampant corruption which was sucking the life out of the nation and fuelling the economic meltdown. Every time these Zanu PF leaders lost their political influence their economic decline has been rapid; proof their fortunes were dependent on looting.
Mai Mujuru is not the first Zanu PF grandee to find themselves in deep economic trouble soon after losing their place on the Zanu PF top table. Didymus Mutasa’s economic troubles started within months of being booted out of Zanu PF. Others like the late Nathan Shamuyarira and Enos Nkala has their party cards to the end but died paupers after being sidelined!
Grace Mugabe will be worry sick to read of Mai Mujuru’s troubles; she knows that she is next. Ever since the November 2017 coup, she has struggled to hang on to the vast fortune she and her late husband looted. Now with the husband died, she is nothing more than a wounded goat with the hungry hyenas on her trial!
Not that I feel sorry for Mai Mujuru, Grace Mugabe and all the other Zanu PF cronies facing economic hardships; far from it. They are late comers to the real Zimbabwe of grinding poverty; they are having a taste of the consequences of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption they imposed on us, the masses, all these last 39 years.
What we should all be concerned about is ending the Zanu PF dictatorship as a matter of urgency. As long as Zimbabwe remains a pariah state ruled by this Zanu PF dictatorship; the will be no end to the gross mismanagement, rampant corruption, vote rigging, etc. There will be no meaningful economic recovery as long as this illegitimate Zanu PF regime remains in power.
Besides, the nation needs meaningful regime change a.s.a.p to stop people like Mai Mujuru and Grace Mugabe wasting the looted wealth away in their frantic effort to maintain their lavish lifestyle of bygone years. The nation needs very dollar of looted wealth to clear the ruins Zanu PF has left and rebuild the nation anew.
We owe it to ourselves and posterity to end the economic chaos and political paralysis Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs imposed on this nation. The dictatorship is collapsing, it was doomed to collapse because its reckless spending was economically unsustainable; all we need to do now is deliver the coup de grace!

Independent election observer, Zimbabwe Election Support Network has expressed great concern over the decision by ruling ZANU PF to use a well known traditional leader as their election agent in the recently held ZAKA East by-election.
ZESN also reports that at another polling station, another village head came putting on ZANU PF regalia.
The traditional leaders in ZESN report are however not the first after Chief Nhlanhla Ndiweni of Ntabazinduna and Chief Fortune Charumbira, in that order, publicly supported the opposition MDC and ruling ZANU PF.
This is nothing new and why organisations like ZESN even pretend this is new is the real surprise! The opposition know that Zanu PF is abusing the voters, especially the rural voters.
Of course, MDC and the other opposition parties and candidate know that elections were not going to be free, fair and credible; they still participated regardless because they are after the few seats Zanu PF gives away! The opposition are nothing more than jackals at a lion's kill!
It is for the people of Zimbabwe to push for the democratic reforms to be implemented leading to free, fair and credible elections. Nelson Chamisa and his MDC friends are not going to get any reforms implemented; they are content with the scraps Zanu PF is giving away.
MDC leaders are now running with the hare and hunting with the hounds; they have been doing this since their failure to implement even one reform in the 2008 to 2013 GNU. It is for the people of Zimbabwe to wake-up to that political reality!
Zanu PF thugs are like rats in a granary; whilst there is plenty to eat, they eat and eat and waste as much by peeing and s***ting on the grain. When the food start to run out they will fight to the death over it! Zanu PF cronies know that the good times are over the economic meltdown is affecting the poor and the rich too are being affected.
The worsening economic situation meaning the looted wealth is having to be shared amongst more and more and therefore the cut one gets is becoming smaller and smaller. Worse still, if there was democratic change - Zanu PF's grip on power is growing weaker by the day and change is now as certain as the sun rising tomorrow - the looting will not only stop but worse still the nation will be clamouring for the return of all looted wealth.
For people like Mai Mujuru and Grace Mugabe who are desperate to hang on to their looted wealth these are worrying times - they know they will never hold on to the loot. Never!
It took nearly 20 years before Zimbabweans realised that the late Robert Mugabe and his regime were corrupt, incompetent and murderous tyrants. Even with the facts of the over 20 000 murdered in cold blood in the Gukurahundi massacre, many Zimbabweans still refused to open their eyes. It was only in the late 1990s that people accepted Mugabe was a dictator and that the country needed to implement democratic reforms to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections.
For the last 20 years, Zimbabweans have risked life and limb to elect MDC leaders into power on the understanding they will implement the democratic reforms the nation has been dying for. Sadly, MDC leaders have sold out and have failed to implement even one reform. Not one, in 20 years!
It is tragic that MDC have sold-out on reforms but worse still that many Zimbabwe have yet to wake up to this tragic reality. Even with all the benefit of hindsight and debate, many people still do not realised MDC sold-out on reforms and, what is more, have given up on implement reforms.
Zimbabwe is standing on the edge of the abyss and needs decisive action to end the curse of rigged elections and since MDC will never accomplish this task, the country needs to find a way out quick smart!
