“If Tsvangirai abused MDC funds that should not be an
issue for government because that is a private affair," said James
Maridadi.
Well if those within the MDC who held the pulse, party treasure and his deputy, Roy Bennette and Elton Mangoma, are saying Tsvangirai abused party funds, given the latter's taste for high life; it is 99.9% certain that he did.
None of the MDC donors are going to sue the party over the misuse of the donated funds. They have already taken the only appropriate action they could by freezing all further funding. Zanu PF would have no business in this because it is indeed a "private affair" as Maridadi rightly pointed out.
But we all know that Zanu PF is under enormous pressure right now because of all these stories of rampant corruption in parastatals like Air Zimbabwe and ZESA, quasi-government institutions like PSMAS and ZMDC and within government itself like the Army right up to Mugabe himself. And to make matter worse these stories are breaking at the time when the economy is taking a fatal nose-dive following the loss of confidence in the regime after the rigged July 2913 elections.
Mugabe and his cronies would love to arrest Tsvangirai, even on a private matter, just to draw attention away from their own mounting troubles.
“We also know that he (Tsvangirai) has cases of double dipping,” said Goodson Nguni, a Mugabe loyalist, in apparent reference to allegations the former premier may have misappropriated $1,5 million in public funds during the upgrade of his official residence in Harare.

Again, no one would put that beyond Tsvangirai; he is
that stupid because he should have known that Mugabe have CIO watching him like
hawks! Mugabe has a lot of dirty on Tsvangirai; he did not have to dig hard as
the MDC leader has a greater affinity for dirty than the dung-beetle!
Mugabe has not arrested Tsvangirai over the Harare
mansion scandal, for example, because the Zanu PF tyrant knew he would have a
lot to answer for himself. Yes, Tsvangirai is stupid but not that stupid
not to know of Mugabe's multi-billion dollar Borrowdale mansion, $ 5 million Hong
Kong mansion, R500 million-mansion in SA, etc., etc.
Tsvangirai and his MDC friend have derived a great deal
of pleasure is the corruption scandals and have even called for those involved
to resign as if they themselves are not corrupt.
Nguni's threat to arrest Tsvangirai is shot across the
MDC ship's bows; reminding the party that those who live in glass houses
should not throw stones. However the warning is even more relevant to Mugabe
and his cronies given that they are the ones living crystal glass palaces!
Mugabe
is painfully aware that it is not MDC who are throwing the stones, they are
just joining the bandwagon, it is the ordinary Zimbabweans who are sick to the
back teeth of the suffering and brutal oppression the Zanu PF dictatorship has
inflicted on them all these last 34 years. But Mugabe being the ruthless tyrant
he is; he will pick on Tsvangirai, a soft target, to have his revenge rather
than face the increasingly hostile public.
Tsvangirai
and his MDC friends are corrupt but nothing compared to Mugabe and his cronies;
but he will never have the public sympathy in this because he betrayed them too
in failing to implement the reforms and thus end this political nightmare. The
people of Zimbabwe are preoccupied with ending the Mugabe dictatorship to be bothered
with what the tyrant do with Tsvangirai; he chose to partake in the corruption
and he must suffer the consequences.
Tsvangirai
akadziya moto wembavha; saka naiyi imbavha! Kana akatakurirwa moto, ndeyake onga, anozvionera akura!

I think with my butt and you Zanu PF guys think with "your brains"? Given that you guys have ruled Zimbabwe with an iron fist giving you control of every aspect of the nation's human activities and lives. If you really had the monopoly of brains then why, oh why is the country is in a serious economic and political mess?
The years of bullying are over for Mugabe and all you his moronic followers!
Zimbabwe's present economic melt-down is going to be a tsunami, so serious it is going to make the 2008 economic crisis look like a storm in a tea cup. There is no doubt that the rampant cor-ruption, which the regime has vehemently denied all these years are the root cause of the eco-nomic melt-down. And the breaking stories of corruption where the politically connected were being paid huge salaries, as much as $ 500 000 a month for Cuthbert Dube, CEO of PSMAS, whilst the lowly paid workers were forced to go for months without pay because there were no funds to pay them at this point in time is the worst nightmare for Mugabe.
The Zimbabwe government is broke and those at the very bottom of the social ladder are going to feel the effects but so too are millions of other Zimbabweans. At least 90% of the Zimbabwe population is going to suffer untold economic hardships in the coming months, worse that they have ever known. There is no end to this hell until Mugabe and his cabal are forced out of office!
Mugabe is going to free a number of prisoners in the light of the country’s economic hardships. Last year a 100 inmates died of starvation because the regime could not feed them. With the country facing its worst economic melt-down ever; the regime is slowly but surely admitting that it cannot govern.
Good idea Mugabe, you need to free some prisoners and create room for some corrupt fat cats who have destroyed the nation's economy!
@ Sound of blackness
I agree about someone bribing some one to sue Tsvangirai and he will be arrested. But as I have already said, Tsvangirai's teaming up with the devil has costed the nation a great in untold human suffering and human lives. I really do not care if Mugabe grilled Tsvangirai alive, he had that coming to him!
Mangoma, Biti and all those who had called for Tsvangirai to step down were told to resign or be fired from the party. And just to make sure they got the message, Tsvangirai’s thugs roughed them up. Man-goma had his shirt torn and got a bloody nose in the bargain.
The trouble with the like of Mangoma and Biti is that they are men physically but when it comes to standing up for their principles and what they believe in, they are mice.
“The MDC is supposed to be a democratic - not a fighting party. We should be tolerant and accepting of criticism and divergence of views. You can’t turn violent mobs against your colleagues,” said Elton Mangoma after the thorough beating.
Mr. Mangoma now you know that MDC is NOT a party of democrats. You are lucky the party has not assumed the pompous arrogance of Zanu PF, you would have joined the likes of Chindori-Chininga in the land of the dead.
@ Nofool
You never thought Mugabe's rule would ever come to an end much less to such an magnanimous end did you? The worst is yet to come, look at what happened to Gaddaffi and Sadam; tyrants always have a dramatic exit. Their moronic supporters always refuse to accept the realty of the end of the dictatorship but the nations are only o gad to move on. You, nofool, are in denial but frankly no one gives a damn!
Tsvangirai has not presented the people of Zimbabwe with not a shred of evidence that not even one of his former MDC colleagues now calling on him to step down are "Zanu PF agents much less paid agents".
The people of Zimbabwe are familiar with this coming from Zanu PF were all critics of the party are counter revolutionaries, agents or puppets of the West. Indeed it is a tactic tyrants use all the time.
Once these tyrants label their critic counter revolutionary or puppet their fate is sealed. The victim is immediately stripped of the individual and true identity and forfeit all their basic human rights including the right to be presumed innocent until proven otherwise after due legal process.
Tyrants not only violate the basic tenet of rule of law - that every is innocent until proven others - but the go further and appoint themselves the accuser, judge and jury and executioner too. They are swift in administering their corrupted system of justices and equally swift in administering the punishment. Here; there is no such thing as the punishment fitting the crime!
"This party is a democratic party but let me tell those who are losing focus of the struggle … don't take advantage of my good character to champion your agenda; thank God I have a good character but it must not be abused," said Tsvangirai.
Typical of tyrants, it does not matter obvious the contradictions and flaws in everything they do they still think the are right. The regime in North Korea is the most oppressive in modern times and yet they regimes believes it is the most democratic regime of our times and named the country the Democratic Republic of North Korea and will not continent having it any other way.
"I am ready to take this country to the promised-land; me as your leader and you following me,” said the defiant MDC-T leader.
The dangers of giving power to an ignorant and incompetent idiot is that it gives them wings and make them believe they can fly!
" As a professional police force," Charity Charamba said! The ZRP a professional police force! Why is this woman being allowed to insult our intelligence.
It is common knowledge that the ZRP has always put Zanu PF's political interests above the nation's interests of enforcing the law without fear or favour!
The journalist and the nation at large is compelled to ask Ms Charamba; "Are you saying the ZRP Officers have never shown any political bias in carrying their public duties?"
The whole world saw the bussed in voters on voting day last year, for example. The ZRP did not even investigate this blatant act of vote rigging. Where was the "professional police force" then?!
