The country has an important task of dragging itself out of this mess and those pursuing their narrow tribal agenda will only be weighing us down. Grow up!

They have been promised the moon on a silver plater again and gain but only to get hell-on-earth every time. In these people's minds the linkage between politics and the economy is all negative and no positive. To the people, politicians are greed, corrupt and tyrannical liars, they are the worst curse to the nation. <br /><br />If it was not for the political harassment and threats many people, especially in the rural areas and amongst the urban youth, would have stopped attending political rallies and voting a long time ago!Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-53783121659487651742017-01-04T11:47:03.859-08:002017-01-04T11:47:03.859-08:00Bikita West ward 4

At the food distribution exercise, he openly told people that only ZANU PF supporters were going to receive fertilisers and highlighted that no opposition supporter was going to receive fertilisers. He also urged people to vote for ZANU PF candidate, Beauty Chabaya in the pending by-election.<br />Bikita West ward 5<br />ZANU PF candidate, Beauty Chabaya distributed maize seed at Makuvaza Primary School on 31 December 2016. At the distribution meeting, she said that only ZANU PF members were going to receive the maize seed. She promised that if people vote for her in the pending by election, she would donate more of the maize seed. In a separate incident, unidentified ZANU PF youths moved in the ward on 31 December 2016 threatening people that if they voted for any other candidate besides Beauty Chabaya, ZANU PF was going to unleash violence worse than that experienced in 2008.<br /><br />This is the political reality, the political norm, in Zimbabwe. These are not empty threats as known opposition supporters are denied the fertilizer, seed or whatever. The ordinary people in these villages are often punished long after the by-elections is over and the observers are gone. How can we say the people are free to express their democratic will under these conditions. <br /><br />It is a great tragedy that we have allowed this undemocratic practices to go on under our own noses for all these years. It is unforgivable for us to allow this to happen ever again. <br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-78514911515655567382017-01-04T08:50:19.964-08:002017-01-04T08:50:19.964-08:00@ Action now

For the last 36 years Zanu PF has rigged one election after another, this is the problem. <br /><br />Instead of implementing the reforms during the GNU Tsvangirai and his MDC wasted time gallivanting and failed to get even one reform implemented. They insisted the 2013 elections will be free and fair only to admit they were rigged by noon of the voting day. <br /><br />Joice Mujuru is offering an opposition coalition by end of the year as if that will stop Zanu PF rigging the elections. We know that is not going to stop Zanu PF rigging the next elections and it is important to say so now and not wait till 2018 elections day! <br /><br />Anyone who propose the coalition as a solution to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections is a simpleton because this is not a solution!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-36442780653980624392017-01-04T07:22:18.039-08:002017-01-04T07:22:18.039-08:00Tsvangirai told his supporters in Harare the party...Tsvangirai told his supporters in Harare the party was ready for the 2018 elections and gave them the details of what his MDC government will do. <br /><br />What a waste of space! Tsvangirai is talking of what his MDC government is going to do after winning the elections. He has failed to win past elections because Zanu PF rigged the vote and the tyrannical regime has billions of dollars to bankroll its next vote rigging schemes. Surely Tsvangirai should be thinking of how to stop Zanu PF rigging the next elections because he has to stop the vote rigging first if he is ever to form the next government.<br /><br />Tsvangirai is a wildebeest who mind is so focused on the grazing the other side of the river it ignores the immediate dangers of crossing the flooded river teaming with crocodiles. Tsvangirai being Tsvangirai will blunder on regardless, he will even attempt to cross where the bank is a vertical drop five or more metres either side that even the nimble baboon would not climb.<br /><br />SADC leaders warned Tsvangirai of the danger of Zanu PF rigging the elections and why he should implement the reforms first. Tsvangirai would not listen and we all know Zanu PF went on to rig the July 2013 elections. History is going to repeat itself, the wildebeest has its tail up, there is no stopping it taking the jump. The best we can do now is warn the people of the futility of following a corrupt and incompetent leader like Tsvangirai!

She was at the heart of this corrupt and tyrannical regime for 34 years and never said anything to criticize the regime but now that she was kicked out of the party we are supposed to believe that she has suddenly open her eyes and found her voice! Just because she is a simpleton, she now thinks everyone else is a simpleton too!

Voter registration and opposition unity will be as effective in stopping the juggernaut as a mole-hill to stopping a tank. But since this is all these idiots can think, we will hear nothing else from them and, worst of all, voter registration and coalition will be repeated over and over again as the cure all solution. <br /><br />Just as happened following the 2013 elections, the opposition will be stunned into silence by noon of election day as it becomes evident that Zanu PF has once again blatantly rigged the elections. All the opposition's voter registration and coalition building strategies were as useless as the mole-hill to stopping a tank! The opposition idiots will all accuse Zanu PF of vote rigging as if this is something they have just discovered and never heard of before!<br /><br />Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends promised the 2013 elections would be free, fair and credible and we all know that was not true. They changed their tune by noon of the voting day when the evidence of vote rigging started pouring in. The nation should have punished MDC for misleading the people; this time all opposition parties who dragged this nation into yet another rigged election must be punished.<br /><br />I do agree with you, we must demand of these opposition leaders and the acolytes to state whether or not their proposed solutions will stop Zanu PF rigging the elections and then hold them to account if the elections are rigged. <br /><br />The problem before us problem is clear enough; how to stop the Zanu PF’s vote rigging juggernaut. Any proposed solution must be addressing the problem and those proposing it must admit so up front; we cannot afford wasting time on gimmicks and political grandstanding. <br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-78039404670373475862017-01-03T20:12:05.385-08:002017-01-03T20:12:05.385-08:00Prince Mashele argues that ‘Western’ values of ac...Prince Mashele argues that ‘Western’ values of accountability, political morality, reason and so on are not African and that it is idle to hope that Africans will have democracies of the type existing in Europe.<br /><br />He says: ‘People must not entertain the illusion that a day is coming when SA will look like the US. Our future is more on the side of Zimbabwe, where one ruler is more powerful than the rest of the population.’ He goes on: ‘How else are we to explain the thousands of people who flock to stadiums to clap hands for a president who has violated their country’s constitution? . . . In a typical African country people have no illusion about the unity of morality and governance. People know that those who have power have it for themselves and their friends and families.’<br /><br />It is tragic that many Africans have indeed lost all hope of ever living in a free and democratic African country. What makes this a double tragedy is that many of them should consider this “true African” and proud of it! <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-36120917826253224192017-01-03T19:32:46.965-08:002017-01-03T19:32:46.965-08:00What is Moyo wittering about!

The are still queues of people waiting to withdraw their money at the banks so the bond notes have not solved that cash crunch. <br /><br />As long as the nothing is done to revive the national economy and we continue to import more than we export then demand for foreign currency will exceed the demand for bond notes and the value of the latter against the former will fall.
