Those who continued to see Tsvangirai as the axe to cut down Mugabe are not morons but not far behind being ones!

Whilst I too would dismiss Poloyatonki as a "moron", still I can not help but get the feeling that the hatred of Mugabe the tyrant has blinded most people to Tsvangirai's incompetency. It is the latter’s serious short comings that has helped keep Mugabe in power these last ten years and thus by extension the support of those behind Tsvangirai.

As far back as 2001 the then US Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Chris Dell, described Tsvangirai as a “flawed and indecisive character”. Tens years later with a mountain of Tsvangirai blunders it seems the penny is yet to drop for some people.

Mugabe is the thorny tree we want to cut down but after years of trying and with blistered hands common would dictate that we need a sharp axe! Tsvangirai, the axe, we have been using so far is useless! Those who continue to support Tsvangirai are doing nothing but queuing for a turn to take at the tree with the bland axe. Yes it will help them let out the years pended up frustration. There will be a lot more blistered hands and, worse still, the thorny tree will remain standing. Those who continue to follow this course of action are not morons but they are not far behind.

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree,” remarked Abraham Lincoln, “and I will spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.” Very wise advise; I would say!

Tsvangirai accursed Mugabe of being someone who indicated left and turned right!
“Would the real Mugabe stand up!” concluded Tsvangirai.

The real Mugabe, the tyrant and murderer, has been standing up all these last thirty years. It is Tsvangirai who has failed to see the real Mugabe preferring to see instead an imaginary Mugabe - “a democratic, a great national hero" one he could trust and work with. How many times has Mugabe said one thing and did the exact opposite. How many innocent Zimbabweans has this tyrant murdered in cold blood?

No doubt Tsvangirai thought he was asking a poignant and very witty question; “Would the real Mugabe stand up?” It is in fact a stupid remark totally in keeping with the real Tsvangirai we all know!
