Zimbabwe's Service Chiefs come out in support of Gono, they do not want him to go.
Each of the Service Chiefs constitutes one of the key supporting pillars of the Mugabe dictatorship. Gono, Tomana, Munangagwa and a few others too constitution some of these key support pillars. Each one of them knows the removal of any of the pillars will result in the collapse of the whole corrupt and repressive Mugabe regime. It is to be expected that Service Chiefs will not want Gono to go.
And Zimbabwe being what it is - a heavily politicised country in which its key institutions like the Army, Police, etc are there to serve Zanu PF and its leader Mugabe above all else - it is not surprising that the Service Chiefs should publicly support Gono in such a robust way. “Over our dead bodies!” Air Vice Marshal Henry Muchena threatened, speaking on behave of all the other Service Chiefs. Very strong language indeed, coming from a soldier!
“Please leave Gideon Gono alone so that he works on behalf of the people,” pleaded the Air Vice Marshal. He even credited Gono of leading an “imminent economic revolution”. Of all the feeble excuses for supporting Gono that sure takes the biscuit!
The Vice Marshal rattled on about the war of independence and that the fight to keep Gono was a continuation of this struggle. That is a sad reflection of the extend of mental rot within the dictatorship in circle; the noble cause of freedom, liberty and human dignity behind the war of independence have now been twisted and waved into a common thief and murder’s creed!
What happen last year during the presidential run-off was just another warning of what Mugabe and this cabal of ruthless killers were about – they would stop at nothing, nothing to hang on to power. It was foolish of Tsvangirai to think he could work with such thugs. After the sham June election Mugabe and the cabal were on the ropes and Tsvangirai saved them. Now the cabal is like a nest of wasps on a war footing, who knows what they will do next?
Today the cabal has the high ground, curse the stupidity of not taking them on when they were on the ropes. Still; this not the time to for Tsvangirai and the nation at large to have weak knees. The cabal should be told in no uncertain terms that they can not hold the nation to ransom. And that there will be a full investigation into the political activities of the country’s Service Chiefs – no nation can tolerate what some of them have been doing. The Service Chiefs must pledge their loyalty to the nation and serve the nation and no other master!
To all those supporting the Mugabe Dictatorship it is now a matter of "One for all and all for one!" The whole cabal will stand as one or fall as one. So be it; they will fall as one. The nation’s focus at present is Gono; he must go and go he will! The Service Chiefs; you are next. No price for guessing who will be next.
