MDC weighs in into
the corruption scandals that have rocked Zanu PF and calling on the later to
resign.
In a press statement MDC spokesperson Douglas
Mwonzora said his party is “extremely disgusted and outraged” over the
utterances by Mujuru that the on-going exposure of corruption by the press is
the work of “the country’s detractors”.
When MDC would do
well to remember the old adage that those who live in glass houses must not
throw stone at the glass house of their neighbour.
Senior “motor-mouth”
Mwonzora is living in a house “the size of a hotel” built and paid for during
his time in the GNU. He could not have paid for this out of his MP salary, that
much is obvious!
As for the MDC
leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, he has some serious explaining to do. To start with
he has never said who paid for his no-expense-spared Cruise Tour to the
Seychelles but we have a pretty good idea who did as weeks before the trip it
was he who gave the thumbs up to the diamond operations in Marange. This was
contrary to all the reports available at the time that spoke of corruption and
looting. The late Chindori-Chininga’s parliamentary report has since confirmed
the corruption and looting.
Ever since the MDC
leader got the $ 4 million mansion, he has refused to give up although he is
not holding any government position, he has said nothing about the corruption
he is now condemning but, worse still, he did not implement not even one democratic
reform. He had five years to do so but did nothing.
The country would
not be in this political mess if he had implemented the reforms and
“motor-mouth” had produced a democratic constitution and not the Copac rubbish!

Meanwhile you have been dispossessing the ordinary black Zimbabweans forcing millions into a live of abject poverty.
You and your looting fiends are finished, you are not going to loot from the people ever again. "Get back to us"! You lot are going to give back all you looted from the people and then do some time in Chikurumbi. Those of you who have shed innocent blood will have the sudden drop and equally sudden stop.
The wheels of justice turn very slows, after 34 years of corruption and murder you now believed the wheels must have stopped. Well now you will know that they were in fact still turning and have caught up with you.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that you will get away with it as happened in 2008. Not everyone is as incompetent and thus easily bamboozled as Tsvangirai. Mark my words and mark them well; Zanu PF is finished!

The stories of corruption that have come are nothing more than the ears of the hippo the rest of the beast is hidden under the mudded waters. Corruption has been going on for the last 34 years and hence the reasons why leaders like Mai Mujuru have amassed a $ 3 billion fortune. Now the muddy waters are drain away the truth is coming out for all to see.
Yes the Zimbabwe economy is in serious trouble and the scandals are the explanation why this is so. Mugabe has vehemently denied that there was corruption and maintained that it was the sanctions imposed by the West that has caused the economic melt-down. The scale of the corruption shows the corruption was rampant and that they are indeed the root cause.
The Zanu PF dictatorship is sinking are the sheer dead weight of the rampant corruption and looting that the party's big wigs themselves are the chief instigators and benefactors! Mugabe and Zanu PF are finished!
BRITISH MP Kate Hoey has reportedly urged British Prime Minister David Cameron to boycott the upcoming summit between Africa and the European Union after Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe was invited to attend. Rightly so too!
It was great that the EU decided to follow the lead of the Americans, Canadians and Australians in refusing to endorse Mugabe and his party as the winners of the July 2013 Zimbabwe elections in the face of the tyrant's blatant vote rigging. The EU may have taken that decision reluctantly, still it was the right decision.
The EU, under pressure, from some member countries who want to trade with Zimbabwe regardless of the tragic political reality of the tyrannical rule on the ground, is once again moving towards re-engaging the Mugabe regime. The British government must take the lead and make a firm stand on this and refuse to be a party to this.
Mugabe and Zanu PF are drowning in their own political and economic mess; the EU should not be seen to be trying to save the regime when all they will do, at best, is delay the inevitable col-lapse of the regime whilst prolonging the suffering of the ordinary people.

The humiliation Mugabe is having to endure with all this is Chinese torture of drip, drip, drip! What he does not realise is that it is only going to get worse with each passing day! If he was to drop dead now, the nation would feel cheated.
He should linger on a bit longer and see all the dirty of his corrupt regime brought out!
@ Payday
I have never made a secrete of my name, Wilbert Mukori. You should take some of the advice you give so freely. Payday, is that your name?
In a nation where there are still millions who think Tsvangirai is a great leader; one has to remind them again and again and again that he is a breathtakingly incompetent leader and say why. It is slowing sinking in but painfully slowly. It sounds like you are amongst those who re yet to be convinced and yet in the same breath boasts of knowing where they are going. How typical!
Zimbabwe is in this political and economic mess because we the people are buried our heads in the sand and will not think. If the nation really knew where it was going then why are we stuck in this mess?

Zimbabwe students on the now infamous Robert Mugabe scholarships in SA are once again be-ing kicked out of the various institutions for none payment of fees!
Last year just before the elections Mugabe paid all the fees in full because he wanted the continued support of the students' parents and relatives who constitute the rump of Zanu PF die-hard loyalists. His vote rigging plans would fail without their support.
Some of us predicted that this was going to be the last payment these students would ever get and is exactly what has happened. These students and their parents were naïve not to see this coming.
Zimbabwe is broke. Five women are dying in child-birth and 100 children below the age of five are dying of preventable diseases every day because the country's health sector has collapse because of the lack of funds. If there was any money then surely it would be better to spend it on saving lives than expensive fees for die-hard Zanu PF loyalists!
The Students should go back to Zimbabwe and ask their parents how they helped Mugabe rig the elections!
