In all her 34 years in top office; how many times has Mai Mujuru
ever said anything – clever or stupid, it does not matter? To be fair to her;
when did anyone, other than Mugabe – “ane muromo asinga nherwe nenhudzi”, as we
say in Shona (on whose mouth a fly is yet to land) – said anything? The likes
of Mutasa and Mnangagwa occasional say something, usual nonsense like diesel
coming out of a rock. Whilst the likes of Mai Mujuru, Sidney Sekeramai, and going
back to John Nkomo, Joseph Musika, Simon Muzenda etc.; they never ever open
their mouths except to agree or praise Mugabe.
The likes of Mai Mujuru has accepted the old adage that it is
better to say nothing and be assumed a fool then open your mouth and prove it
beyond all doubt that you are a fool! Mai Mujuru’s recent outburst denying that
there was no corruption even when those involved in the corruption scandals
themselves, like George Charamba, admitted to wrong doing proved just how
insightful the old adage is, She opened her mouth and proved beyond all doubt
that she is indeed a big fool!
There is another adage that says if you see a frog that
ordinarily only comes out in the rainy season hopping about in the midday sun
in the middle of the dry season, you can be sure something is after his life!
So what gave the dumb Mai Mujuru voice to speak? What spooked her out of her silent-as-the-grave
norm?
She may be mentally slow but even she can see where all these
corruption and looting stories are leading to and she does not like it one
little bit! She has amassed a $3 billion fortune herself. She is not a talented
musician or talented anything; she looted every penny of it, of course!
Now that the flood gates of the corruption and looting that has
been going on has been thrown wide open and there is no closing them again, it
is just a matter of time before questions are asked about her huge fortune –
absolutely humongous fortune given she has absolutely no talent at all. Whilst
many of the other Zanu PF leaders would have at least tried to cover their
tracks, Mai Mujuru is not smart to know how. All these scandals will produce a
mountain of paper trail all leading back to Vice President Mujuru’s door!
Believe me, Mai Mujuru is already feeling the heat the
corruption scandals have generated already and she is hopping for dear life!
The willowgate motor scandal claimed a number of scalps and yet
it was a storm in a tea-cup compared to the tsunami waves the multi-layer
scandals are generating. The later Maurice Nyagumbo took rat-poison when the
number of scandals became unbearable. He made a few tens thousand dollars at
most. Nothing compared to the hundreds of millions plus, plus some people made
in the new scandals.
Mai Mujuru and many others in Zanu PF are really worried that
all these corruption scandals are going to lead to their own corruption and
looting! “Mboko jena, raparira parere dema!” My guess is that it will; when the
heat is turned on him people like George Charamba will rat on everybody else.
That is exactly what he meant when he said “we should all resign!”

Dube should be encourage to pursue his Court challenge. His only defence is that he was not the only one who was looting! He would then be asked to name the others!
After naming the other looters, the judge will tell him a basic home truth - the fact that all those other people were looting is no excuse much less defence for him to loot.
Considering that millions of PSMAS members and their families have suffered and thousands have died because they were denied medical help although they had paid their subscriptions because you Mr Dube looted the money. You really should be hanged for your crime; you will not need the wheel chair then!

Mugabe has seven, SEVEN university degrees and this much I can say, they were not all award-ed to him for his good looks! At least one of the degrees is in economics and he certainly knows how the economy works.
I am not an economists but I know what Mugabe has been implementing in Zimbabwe all these last 34 years is NOT sound economic policies. No can even say the policies defy common sense. How do you expect the economy to grow and prosper when the corrupt few suck up all the money and waste it on luxuries, for example.
Of course Mugabe knows that the country's economic melt-down was caused by the gross mis-management, corruption and looting. He does not care about that or the heart breaking suffering and deaths it has brought to millions of Zimbabweans. All he cares about is that by allowing the mismanagement and corruption he bought for himself and the Zanu PF dictatorship a political system that has kept him and his cronies in power for 34 years.
That is what corruption means and does to people.
Simba Makoni knows what has gone wrong in Zimbabwe and can say it in them most flowery turn of phrases Shakespeare himself would cheer and applaud now that he wants to get back on the gravy train.
The minute he is on board - he is back to the Simba Makoni of his Zanu PF politburo member days!
THE World Food Programme has warned that it is struggling to feed hungry villagers around the country because donors have switched to other humanitarian crises in the world.
This comes at a time an estimated 2.2 million Zimbabweans are said to need urgent food aid due to a poor harvest last season and various other problems.
As a nation we have done nothing to end the mismanagement, corruption and looting the root causes of our economic problems. The consequences of the economic melt-down are numerous and varied but all contribute to making life a daily struggle of unimaginable suffering and hardships. Many have paid the ultimate price with their very lives for our collective negligence.
The problems are not going away until we learn to address them as all other nations have had to do or they too have had to pay the price! The root cause of our problems is the rotten political system Mugabe and Zanu PF imposed on the nation. We must end this Zanu PF dictatorship; there is no other way out!
