The Police stopped Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai addressing a rally in Victoria Falls. They blocked the games into the stadium where the rally was to be held.
“The behaviour of the police in the past 72 hours tells us that there is no rule of law in the country and that the police are at the forefront of promoting lawlessness,” Tamborinyoka said.
Well there is a real surprise! For over thirty years now Zimbabweans have been systematically denied their basic human rights including the right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country and the right to life itself! Mugabe and Zanu PF have rod rough shod over us and have crashed our hopes, dreams and our very souls. And Tamborinyoka, the man who should know better just how much the nation has suffered and therefore the urgency to bring this repression to a speedy end was not even aware of the lawlessness in the country until 72 hours ago!
Zimbabweans have to once again ask Tsvangirai what exactly he expected to achieve when he signed the power sharing agreement with Mugabe after the sham 2008 elections. The restoration of the rule of law was surely the number one priority for the nation then and it is clearly we have not moved an inch on that issue.
The task of removing an entrenched and ruthless dictator like Mugabe clearly demands a cunning, decisive and strong leader. Tsvangirai is incompetent and indecisive and for all his rhetoric has clearly failed to comprehend the true nature of the Zanu PF dictatorship “beast”. Of course Tsvangirai will continue to blunder along as long as the nation let him.
Zimbabweans can bury their heads in the sand and pretend Tsvangirai will bring the democratic change we are all dying for or accept that he is not up to the task and therefore start the challenging task of looking for the competent leader. And to make sure this time the nation does not pick a tyrant like Mugabe or a blundering idiot like Tsvangirai; we must define the qualities we want to see in our leaders and what tests we intend to carryout to ensure the individuals have those qualities!

These MDC clowns are worse than useless; they can not even agree on what to do about the overzealous Police stopping their rallies. Tsvangirai and Tamborinyoka want to raise the issue with Mugabe and Monzora want to take it to SADC and the AU. Both way; this would be the umpteenth time they have complained and for the umpteenth time Mugabe and SADC will do nothing about it! The solution is staring Tsvangirai in the face, if only he had the imagination and courage to act and not always look for the cowardly way out of getting others to do everything for him.
Parliament is the highest authority in the land, MDC have the majority in parliament and if the highest authority in the land can not tell a rogue Police Officer to stop behaving as if he is the law onto himself then God forbid, what is the purpose of Parliament itself?
