CHINA is willing to work with Zimbabwe to lift bilateral
friendly relations to a higher level so as to bring more benefits to both
peoples, Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao has said. He was congratulating his
two Zimbabwe counter parts VP Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekezela Mphoko on
their recent appointments.
Lift bilateral friendly relations to a higher level, my
a***e!
China helped train and arm Zanu PF freedom fighters in the country’s
war to end white colonial rule but ever since independence China has milked
Zimbabwe. We have repaid China for that military debt a thousand fold. China
has interfered in Zimbabwe’s politics to help Mugabe and Zanu PF remain in
power all these last 34 years regardless of the wishes of the ordinary people
or how much they have suffered under this tyrannical regime.
China has help foster this Zanu PF dictatorship on the nation
by arming the regime to the teeth, help it rig elections, build the $200 million
Spy University in Mazowe and help train the CIO cadres, etc. China has done all
this for Mugabe and Zanu PF in return for being granted unfettered access to
the nation’s wealth and resources.
The people of Zimbabwe have suffered the ill effects of
having a corrupt and tyrannical government they were powerless to remove and
having foreigners plunder the nation’s wealth whilst they languish in poverty
and despair. Enough is enough!
China and Israel’s NIKUV helped Mugabe and Mnangagwa rigged
last year’s national elections and the two have since gone on to rig Zanu PF’s
own internal elections to secure Mnangagwa the VP position. China has
reportedly promised to pay Zimbabwe $1 billion if Mnangagwa, their choice
candidate, secured the VP appointment. China must realise that the $1 billion
will have no effect on Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown.
Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown is caused by the decades of
misrule and totally unworkable indigenisation laws that has forced investors
and donors to shy away from the country. There will never be any meaningful
economic recovery without addressing these problems and the $1 billion from the
Chinese will be as effective as trying to put out a forest fire with spit.
China is using the $1 billion bribe to buy continued
political influence in Zimbabwe; nothing more and nothing less.

If we do not fight to end this Zanu PF dictatorship now, say by the end of 2015 at the latest, it may be too late. Zimbabwe have reached the point where it could easily slide into social chaos similar to Libya or Egypt or even Syria. When you are in the middle of battle you do not take rest, you fight on.
Indeed if Zimbabweans had taken the business of good governance with the seriousness it de-serves then the nation would not be in the mess it is in right now. However if we do not end this madness we may sink beyond the point of no return!

Kiya kiya, vendors, sell to those in formal employment and not to each other and so if selling in the street is what has stop people protesting against the economic collapse they will therefore do so when they is no one buy their stuff.
The economic meltdown is not affecting the poor alone it is cutting deep into the ruling party itself. The late Nathan Shamuyarira and Enos Nkala were Zanu PF grandees and they lived the last few years in abject poverty and died paupers. You will be seen more and more party grandees living in abject poverty. As long as Zanu PF remains in power more and more people will be forced into poverty.
As poverty bites deeper even the regime mindless guard dogs will finally realise the fertility of defending a regime that is starving them too.
Zanu PF is doomed because it has created a economic system that thrives on being wasteful and that is not sustainable and the chicken have come home to roost in their millions like red-billed quelea! Zanu PF has the simple choice of stepping down now or be force out of power the Gadaffi style!

The true definition of "Tsvangirai – he that seeketh freedom for his people" . Sure, sure! And when he who "seeketh freedom for his people" was offered a $4 million mansion in return for doing nothing about the reforms that would have freed the nation from Mugabe and Zanu PF dictatorship he gladly took the mansion!
Now we hear he that "seeketh freedom for his people" can hardly afford to pay his water and electricity bills much less pay his golf club membership fees, a well-stocked bar and all the other things in keeping with his mansion and posh life style of the GNU days!

"It is easy and tempting to the a God in this land!" remarked the Doctor in the movie "SHAKA" after noticing how gobsmacked the blacks had been after he had treated someone back to health they thought was dead. These MDC supporters have taken this worshipping of mere mortals to a new level; they are gobsmacked by a village idiot. Tsvangirai’s failure to get even one reform implemented showed the man is breathtakingly incompetent how anyone can fail to see that is a complete mystery!
What is disconcerting is that such fruitcakes like these MDC supporters have a vote. Universal suffrage should be a blessing but in this case it is a curse, what else can it be when the fate of the nation is in such irresponsible hands! The right to vote comes with a duty and responsibility to use it wisely after careful consideration. Picking a village idiot for a national leaders flies in the face of reason, self-interest, common sense, everything!
Unless we can find a way of opening this hermetically sealed can of these MDC supporters and replace that Read Only Memory type brain more common amongst sheep and wildebeest than humans then this nation is not going to get out of this mess we are in already. Ten, hundred generations on and the nation will be milling around in poverty and despair. A sobering thought!
