Tsvangirai owes the people of Zimbabwe an apology for dragging the nation into this meaningless GNU that achieved absolutely nothing. Until the last few months he insisted the GNU was working; a blunder that has allowed Mugabe to have his "Lazarus moment", Jason Moyo of the Mail and Guardian called it.
And now that Mugabe has risen from the dead politically, Zimbabwe’s political future is as grim as ever. The threat of political violence remains as real today as it was in during the nightmare days of 2008 presidential run-off. Since then Tsvangirai should have left no stone unturned to ensure the country was spared of this scourge. He did nothing hoping it will all go away. Well, the scourge has become even more virulent.
Since 2008 Mugabe has been busy reorganising and strengthening his terror machine. His 2009 Zanu PF Congress passed a resolution committing the Police, Army and CIO to play a leading role in the political violence and lawlessness the only course of action the party has left to retain power and avoid the dreaded regime change. Mugabe has stubbornly refused to have public control and scrutiny of the diamond mining in Marange. He will, no doubt, use the wealth from the Marange diamonds to pay the party’s militia and War Vet – the party’s foot soldiers in its war of terror, rape and murder - and pay for all the other unsavoury activities to deny the people of Zimbabwe their democratic rights and hope.

Here is the man who by his blundering incompetency allowed Mugabe back into State House through the back door and into years of misery and, God forbid, more blood shed. Instead of burying his face in shame has the impudence to talk of himself as a man of vision!
“I have a vision to create a society where the rule of law is paramount, a society where property rights are respected, a society where people enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of association and other rights guaranteed in our Constitution,” said Tsvangirai.
“It is only an MDC government that has capacity and support to grow this economy by about 10 percent every year,” promised Tsvangirai.
It has been Zimbabwe’s great misfortune and curse to have been ruled by a ruthless dictator for three decades. It would be unforgivable if this nation’s fate should be decided by blundering idiot! Tsvangirai will never deliver democracy and 10% GDP growth rate no more than Mugabe delivered freedom and mass prosperity – “gutsa ruzhinji”! Democracy was within his reach but failed dismally to deliver that was within ease reach. Zimbabweans must not be fooled by empty promises of a blunderer.
