The British government has stepped up its deportation of
Zimbabweans on the advice of Prime Minister Tsvangirai that the country was now
“safe” and Zimbabweans should return to help rebuild the country.
The sheer incompetency of Tsvangirai knows no boundaries. Only
an idiot would say Zimbabwe is “safe”!
It is Tsvangirai who has sold out by failing to get the
reforms agreed in the GPA implemented; only after these reforms have been
implemented can the nation finally end Zimbabwe’s culture of political
violence. Instead of facing up to his own failures and at least save the nation
from yet another bloody election and allow the people to vote no in the
referendum. He is now lying that the reforms will be implemented and there will
be no violence just to get the people to vote yes.
As long as the reforms are not implemented there will be violence;
that is as certain as day follows night. So Tsvangirai wants Zimbabweans in UK
to be thrown back into the thick of the certain fire of violence. Zanu PF thugs
have always Zimbabweans in the diaspora as MDC supporters and therefore ease
meat!
Tsvangirai should tell the British the truth; a mere apology
to those who have been deported or would-be deportees is hardly adequate.
The country has a nauseating 80% + unemployment rate; it is
not the lack of workers the country need but quality political leaders to end
the corruption, looting and lawlessness fuelling the country’s continued economic
meltdown when there should be recovery.

In a rebuff to PM Tsvangirai’s ill-advised and downright stupid statement to the British about Zimbabwe being “safe” for Zimbabweans in the diaspora to be deported back; the MDC faction led by Professor Ncube has issued a more reconciliatory statement.
“To send misleading communications to foreign governments about the need for our children to be send home sounds inconsiderate and misguided,” read the statement from N Dube.
“The MDC under President Ncube will form a partnership platform that will enable both sides to have a meeting place on what can be done to make the situation work. There should not be an arbitrary or single-handed approach to this return plan, neither should there be a dictated solution through abuse of office.”
The most telling party in the state was “The current political and economic system remains fraught with loopholes that must be politically addressed.”
Yeah, we all know about these “loopholes”, the dangers they pose and, more significantly, the despicable role Professor Ncube and the rest in his party have played in not only creating these loopholes but now in camouflaging these death traps.
For the last four and half years this dysfunctional GNU, of which Professor Ncube was one of the decisive players, has failed to implement the democratic reforms agreed in the GPA. This failure has created the deathtrap “loopholes” Mugabe and Zanu PF will use to cause a repeat of the political violence of 2008. By lying to the people that these reforms will be implemented BEFORE the elections MDC is hiding the reality that they will never be implemented so the people vote yes in the referendum and then it will all be too late to stop the election going ahead!
Professor Ncube was quick to cash in on Tsvangirai’s blundering statement about Zimbabwe being “safe” to the British; but is he not saying the blundering nonsense to the Zimbabwean populous in this referendum?
@Mpisolo
If Professor Ncube does not agree with the Copac rubbish, knows that implemeting the reforms is absolutely necessary if we are to avoid the blood bath then he should stand up and say so NOW. Spare us all this nonsense about "tribal tendencies", the Copac constitution was in English, the negotiations were conducted in English, etc., etc.; if there was anything he did not understand then he should have asked before he signed his name.
Are you supporting Ncube so blindly because you are from his tribe? Well people who support blindly for whatever reasons are the reason why the country is in this mess and will stay there until you idiots open your eyes!
@ Sarungano
You should not rule Eric out of the Mbare MP race just "because he does not come from Mbare".
Do not talk of Mbare as if it was some place on some distant planet. The people in Mbare are not different from anyone else in Zimbabwe, their problems, dreams, etc are exactly the same. Eric is smart and will do more for the people in Mbare and the rest of the country than these idiots who have been MP for Mbare all these 33 years!
You should not vote for someone because the come from the same area, region or any of that nonsense. Vote for him or her because they are competent, period. If you only qualification is that you were born and grow up in the area then you should be rejected!
UNPD will pay for Zimbabwe’s referendum and elections, Biti announced.
UNPD is not doing the ordinary people of Zimbabwe any favors by bankrolling this corrupt and dysfunctional regime. It was the UN that bankrolled the writing of this Copac Constitution rubbish, of course that was money wasted. Now they are stepping in to finance a referendum which already shows it is not going to be fair given there is no free media and freedom of expression.
Is this the same UNPD which penned the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Or has the UNPD forgotten that there is the right to meaningful say in the governance of the country and the people of Zimbabwe deserve this right too!
If the UNPD is going to fund this referendum it should insist that Zimbabwe's public media, which at present a Zanu PF monopoly, is freed up so Zimbabweans get to hear the two points of view on this Copac constitution before they vote in the referendum; at the very least!
The real battle is over the referendum, if Mugabe gets the yes vote in the referendum then Zimbabwe will go into the elections. Anyone who thinks the elections are going to be free and fair and not a repeat of 2008 is naive. Zimbabweans' only cahnce of forcing Mugabe to have free and fair elections is by forcing Mugabe to implement the reforms BEFORE elections are held. And the only way to force him is by voting NO in the referendum!
Give Mugabe the referendum victory, the yes vote, and we may just as well kiss goodbye to the elections!
Zimbabwe Electoral Commission chairperson Retired Justice Simpson Victor Mutambanengwe has resigned. He has retired on health grounds. The right honorable judge was ZEC chairperson at the time of the farcical 2010 elections.
Let us hope someday the right honorable judge will tell us what really happened in the 2008 elections; more specifically why it took five weeks to count the vote? His honor will depend on him telling the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth.
Zimbabwe is in this hell-hole today because we have had too many his excellences who are not so excellent, too many honorable this honorable that when the one thing these individuals were not is being honorable!
