“Zim Asset will succeed when we observe
dignity at home and at corporate levels. Hunhu hunokosha. We should all shun
corruption in all its forms. Government is unanimous in its resolve to
eradicate this scourge, and I wish to urge legislators to support this effort.
We may differ in the implementation but the objectives are the same,” decreed
VP Mujuru. She was address yet another talk-shop of parliamentarians in Harare.
Of course ZimAsset is doomed to fail; the
Chinese, the last nation Mugabe had hoped would bankroll the $27 billion
program have cut their contribution from $30 b to $10b to $3 b to $400 m and this
week it was reported that they will pay nothing!
The trouble with tyrants is that they seek
and exercise absolute power and after a while they really believe they have the
supernatural powers of the Gods to command, dictate whatever and it is so.
The Book of Genesis, which Mai Mujuru
should be familiar with been a member of the Salvation Army (her commitment is
open to conjecture give the disruption she has caused at Harvard Hospital),
tells us “the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the
deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
Then God said, "Let there be
light"; and there was light.
Yes Mai Mujuru ZimAsset will succeed
because you, the all power Vice President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, have
said so!
She has reportedly amassed a fortune of $3
billion and her late husband amassed $9 billion. Mugabe has his Borrowdale “Blue
Roof” mansion a select few had the chance to marvel at during the $10 million
Bona wedding plus his 13 farms, etc. All the other Zanu PF leaders have too
amassed vast fortunes. And it is all from corruption and looting!
Zanu PF has denied that there was
corruption for the last 34 years allowing this problem to grow into the juggernaut
scourge it is today. Corruption has become so rampant that it can no longer be
denied or ignored. The country’s economic melt-down is now self-evident and its
consequences will be so far reaching it has forced the Zanu PF leaders to speak
up but too late.
If any of the Zanu PF leaders are serious
about fighting corruption then they should know that it is them who are fathers
and mothers of all the corrupt.
Corruption is like weeds they are a problem
the world over, that is true. But every good farmer will tell you the secret of
their success is they sow their crops and from there on fight to keep the weeds
from choking their crops. In Zimbabwe Zanu PF has been cultivating weeds
because that is exactly what absolute power turns humans into wicked and
corrupt tyrants.
If Mai Mujuru is serious about ending the
scourge of corruption and save the country from the economic crash fast
approaching then Zanu PF must accept that the party’s dictatorship has failed.
We must have meaningful democratic reforms and free and fair elections.

If you started to growing the beard to get away from the CIO who are always hunting down Zanu PF critics; then do not shave it off. The corruption is getting worse and the big fish like Mugabe and Mujuru who have escaped so far are now being dragged into the scandals. And in panic, these big fish will be issuing orders to their blood thirst CIO thugs to shot to kill!
@ John Thomas
It suited Mugabe’s plan to hold on to power for decades by making sure closest to the throne are idiots the nation will have to think twice before allowing them to succeed him. Many people suspected Mai Mujuru to be a dim wit but were willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. But ever since she has started opening her mouth, she has removed all doubt that she is indeed a first class idiot.
A few weeks ago she was denying there was no corruption and the salary scandals were the work of those trying to discredit Zanu PF. Now she is admitting corruption is a “scourge” but true to form says goes to say “Government is unanimous in its resolve to eradicate this scourge”. The same government that has not only been denying the scourge but worse still are themselves involved to their eyes in the corruption.
Mai Mujuru is just as stupid as all the other VPs before her, notably Simon Muzenda. It is no surprise that the country is in serious trouble given the calibre of people who have ruling it – murderous tyrants and idiots with only one thing in common, they were all corrupt to the core!
@ Will B free
I agree, the Chinese know most of the money would have ended up in Mugabe and his inner circle but that was not the reason why the Chinese are not paying a penny. They can see Mugabe is incapable of stopping the country's economic melt-down. And when the economic crash happens regime change will follow as day follows night and b follows a. With Mugabe and Zanu PF gone, China knows that its favoured status together with other nations like Israel was be gone. The looting these nations has been dong will be exposed and they will be under great pressure to repay all the have stolen. The Chinese know that the new government will be under no legal obligation even penny China pays to Mugabe now or in the past.
Zimbabwe's economic collapse is clear for to see, written is all the languages including Chinese! The Chinese were stupid to think Mugabe's reign would last for ever but not that stupid not to see when the game is up! Like it or not it is final curtain call for Mugabe and Zau PF. The Zanu PF fat-lady is talking nonsense, she is nothing but the proverbial frog who claimed to put out the forest fire with its fart!
@ Zimguard80
I agree people like Mujuru and Mugabe will never be arrested, not as long as Zanu PF remains in power and control of the Police, Judiciary, etc. I am pleased to say a growing number of Zimbabweans are now demanding the implementation of all the democratic reforms followed by the holding of free and fair elections as the only way out of this mess. The only reason this has not happened is that number has not yet reached the critical number to tip over.
There many who have simply given up searching for the way; the penny is yet to drop that giving up is not going to stop the economic crash or the suffering that will follow.
Then there others out there who are naïve and gullible enough to believe Mugabe and Zanu PF are going to decide to stop the looting and give back all they have looted. These are the goats who agreed to the hyena, crocodile and vulture’s demands that they should be allowed to be the midwives or there will be no peace. Mugabe and the Zanu PF dictatorship demanded that they be allowed to rule forever and there be no regime change if there was to be peace and economic prosperity. All they wanted was absolute power to loot and plunder as they pleased just as the hyena was looking for an ease meal.
Those who believe Mugabe and Zanu PF can change are as naïve as the goats who believed that a course in midwifery for the hyena, crocodile and vulture will improve the appalling record of not a single baby and mother ever surviving if any of the three undertakers attended birthing.
The moral of the story is that undertakers will never ever make good midwives because they are undertakers and profit from death and not saving lives.
By the same token; corrupt and murderous tyrants will never make democratic reformists, be-cause they profit from corruption and anarchy. Stopping the corruption is important but it is only one part; the second component is that the looted wealth must be recovered. Mugabe, Mujuru and any of the Zanu PF cronies or their heirs will never ever voluntarily giving up their farms, mansions, etc. If they could take it all behind the grave, they would rather than give any of it away!
@ Sound of blackness
Once there is regime change Obert Mpofu, Ignatius Chombo. Mujuru, Mugabe, all of them will have a chance to prove they earned their fortunes through hard work and not from corrupt activities. If they fail to prove it then they will lose all their loot. Some of them have committed high treason in rigging elections and committing mass murders - they will have a mandatory jail term and a heavy fine!
@ Bruce Mawillis
And who are you?
Whoever you are; it is not a matter of "if Obert (and many others) is (are) corrupt". He is corrupt and so are many others. If it was your problem then since you have clearly failed to deal with it; it is no longer your problem to deal with but those who can.
The corruption has caused the economic melt-down and with it the collapse of the Zanu PF dictatorship. Mugabe is finished!
The meaningful democratic reforms will be implemented and then free and fair elections. This time the results will be beyond dispute and regime change. The new regime will then deal with the corruption and looting of the past.
Let me tell you now; these things will happen and there is nothing you or Mugabe can do to stop them!
After 34 years of hiding your corruption and brutal repression behind the imaginary enemy of western colonial imperialists, that smoke screen has been blown away now. Mugabe and you lot have been murdering innocent Zimbabweans so that you can remain in power to loot, period!

@ Jeka Cheka
I agree Mugabe is "not himself without blemish", indeed he is the mother of all corruption, and hence will never end this scourge. That is why Zimbabweans must demand that Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs step down so we can have an interim administration to implement the democratic reforms and organise free and fair elections.
All this talk of Mugabe and Zanu PF doing something to end the corruption is a waste of time. Zimbabwe does not have time to waste; the economic crash is real and the longer we do nothing about it the greater the consequences of the crash and the heavier price the nation will pay!
@ Diva
For 34 year people like Mpofu and Mugabe have been drumming their chests like the mountain silver back gorilla believing they are untouchable. Let me tell you they have allowed corruption to grow out of all proportion and now it has trigger the economic melt-down. Zanu PF is not going to survive this economic melt-down because this will last as long as Zanu PF is forced out of power.
The economic melt-down will force regime change in Zimbabwe. Mugabe and Zanu PF are finished!
Mugabe ndichidya matovo anozodzipwa nedhovo rehuru!
IMF has uncovered shadowy secretive deals between Zimbabwe and Iran.
It would be ironic justice if it was to turn out that one of the things Iran got from Zimbabwe in these secret deals was uranium for than country's secretive uranium enriching program. The Uranium bomb will be armed at Israel. It is no secret that Nikuv, an Israel company, helped Mugabe rig the 2014 elections.
It is no secret that Iran has been trying to source uranium and that Zimbabwe was one possible source, particularly from the Mugabe regime. Nikuv was aware of these going on but still it went on help the tyrant stay in power so he could continue with his secretive deals with Iran. Nikuv was paid a princely sum of US$ 13 million, the thirty pieces of silver, and some people will sell anyone for that!
Zimbabwe have paid dearly for Mugabe's dictatorial rule and the rigged elections have extended their nightmare.
If Iran makes the bomb, thanks to Nikuv's dirty work, Israel may well pay dearly too for Nikuv's sell-out!
My brother Munyaradzi Gwasai, you have a way with words. "Among the Ibo the art of conversation is regarded very highly, and proverbs are the palm-oil with which words are eaten," wrote the late Chinua Achebe. The great Achebe would have been impressed to read your contribution my brother!
"Kuna Save kune huchi," says the Tsvangirai followers! The truth is after five years on the gravy train many of them now spend their days milling around Harvest House hoping someone would buy them something to eat. Mugabe's vote rigging throw them out of work; Save had completed failed to see that one coming. And so like their leader, Save, they are destitute.
They are remaining loyal to Save not because he holds an promise of a better tomorrow; he is a blundering fool, that much is obvious. They are remaining loyal to him because they have nowhere else to go. People like Douglas Mwonzora is a big mouth with no intellect behind it only another equally incompetent leader like Tsvangirai would ever want him and so he may just as well stay put.
I was really enjoying reading this until I can across this: "Capitalism is facing an existential crisis," you said. What are you talking about?
Since when was corruption and looting considered a part of capitalism? That, my brother, is nonsense and distasteful and no amount of palm-oil will make that palatable!
Mugabe is not a capitalist and none of his cronies are; they are corrupt and tyrannical thugs whose greed knows no bounds! They love for the goods and luxuries the Capitalist West has been good at producing does not turn a thieving idiot like Philip Chiyangwa or Obert Mpofu into a capitalist!
@ Sammy Moyo
The army is only as good as the society from which the men and women as the soldiers are recruited. The Zimbabwe society is naïve, gullible and thus easily corrupted and easily fooled. The Army top brass are in Mugabe's pockets as are the Police, Judiciary, etc.
If you want real and lasting change then you have to work on the whole Zimbabwe society. A people who spend their life with their heads buried in the sand will get a corrupt and oppressive government. If the people want a good wholesome government then they must stop burying their heads in the sand and use the head for what it was intended - to think!
You are looking to the army to solve the nation's problems because you are too lazy to notice the army is the other side of the same coin - you and me being the first side.
