It is hard to see what exactly is the basis of his claim that he is getting better with age!<br /><br /><br />Making sure the next elections are free and fair is the key to meaningful political transformation in Zimbabwe and it is therefore the number task for us all. Mugabe would not even want to contest the elections if he learned the elections are going to be free, fair and credible; he knows that he will totally be humiliated!Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937946029621043741.post-81032200756858357882017-03-03T13:31:21.358-08:002017-03-03T13:31:21.358-08:00We are in this political and economic mess because...We are in this political and economic mess because for the last 37 years we have been stuck with one corrupt and tyrannical regime. The war veterans be they in government, armed services or at large like Jabulani Sibanda and Douglas Mahiya have all played their part in imposing Mugabe and Zanu PF on the nation. As long as these rogue war veterans continue to view themselves as special with special entitlements such as the veto when all others have a vote, this country will never get out of this mess. <br /><br />If this 10 March 2018 war veterans meeting is to be a turning point in Zimbabwe then it must be the day war veterans apologise to the nation for betraying the people by supporting a corrupt and tyrannical regime's one-party state agenda for selfish gain. The war veterans must pledge themselves to uphold the rule of law and the right of everyone to free, fair and credible elections.<br /><br />Mahiya and company must drop this foolish notion of imposing Mnangagwa on the nation; we are only now writing the closing chapter of Mugabe's tyrannical rule we do not want to start the new chapters of another tyrant's rule!Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.com
