As for the way forward now; we must demand the implementation of reforms and no one should participate in elections we all know will be rigged.<br /><br />The are Zanu PF spies pretending to be opposition supporters but they are easy to pickout - they are the ones giving the public the wrong advise promising them change when there will be no change. The spies will criticize all calls that are likely to produce change and this is why they are fighting to discourage all talk of boycotting elections.<br /><br />Zanu PF is so desperate to have MDC contest elections the regime will even pay opposition candidates huge bribe to contest.<br /><br />The intention is to make it very expensive for both Zanu PF and the opposition to contest these flawed election!

If you have an alternative solution, then I want to hear it!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-19110764342212392042017-03-17T15:46:13.244-07:002017-03-17T15:46:13.244-07:00@ Chiremba
You are readily getting desperate now!...@ Chiremba<br /><br />You are readily getting desperate now! Even you will have to agree that the one thing President Mugabe and Zanu PF would not want is free, fair and credible elections because they know they will lose even to someone as corrupt and incompetent like Tsvangirai. So how can anyone demanding the implementation of the reforms so that there are free, fair and credible elections be "aiding a free passage for Zanu PF in the next elections"?Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-59763871527928618592017-03-17T15:39:27.384-07:002017-03-17T15:39:27.384-07:00@ Rorenz Hovekutsva

This is a decision each individual and party has to make, that is what a principled position means. <br /><br />We the people should be clear as to the kind of man and woman we want as leaders; one of those qualities has to be principled individuals. In other words if the people make it very clear that they will never follow a cheap politician who cannot make a principled stand on something as critical as demand for free and fair elections; all the opposition candidates will boycott next year's elections until reforms are implemented!<br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-6141598065518435952017-03-17T15:27:54.146-07:002017-03-17T15:27:54.146-07:00The people of Zimbabwe allowed themselves to be le...The people of Zimbabwe allowed themselves to be led by Tsvangirai by the nose like a bull at the market into the 2013 elections. He told them the elections will be free, fair and credible and the people believed him. Zanu PF went on to blatantly rig the elections with disastrous consequences for us all.<br /><br />One had hoped that the people have learned their lesson and they will never again follow anyone blindly like sheep to the slaughter. Sadly the people have not learned; they are not just following someone blindly again, they are following the same corrupt and incompetent Richard Morgan Tsvangirai again.<br /><br />Tsvangirai has not bothered to promise the next elections will be free and fair for he readily admits that not even one reform has been implemented. The only encouragement he is giving the people is that they must "defend their vote". How, even he does not know but the gullible voters are foolish enough to believe and follow him!
