Acting President
Mnangagwa says Mujuru and her supporters should go and stop barking like dogs
at Zanu PF, the elephant, that will just ignore the dogs.
“Zanu PF is a very big
party, if you are tired just leave. Don’t try to bring some disunity among its rank
and file. We want the party to be united in the same way it was during the July
2013 elections,” the acting president said.
“I told you before and
let me remind you that here, Zanu PF is like an elephant. Do you know what an
elephant does? Whenever it moves around and passes through a home where there
are barking dogs, it will just pass through.
“It will ignore the
barking dogs until the sound disappears.”
Zanu PF is NOT a very
big party; it is big at rigging elections, yes, but that is a totally different
kittle of fish. It is over the very issue of rigging elections that Mai Mujuru,
Didymus Mutasa and others are complaining about.
Even elephants are
known to run away from angry bees because the latter tiny as they are compared
to the elephant know that if the sting its ears where the skin is thin the big
beast will get the message. The bees only need to sting the elephant once; the
next time it hears the bee buzzing it will immediately start flapping the big
ears frantically and will be off as quickly as it can.
Mr Mutasa has a strong
case here; one does not need to be a constitutional lawyer to see the glaring disregard
for fair play in the contact of last year’s Zanu PF electoral process. In 2004 Mugabe
changed the party’s constitution to introduce a gender balance requirement in
the presidium to justify the appointment of Mai Mujuru VP ahead of Mnangagwa
who was set to win the elections. Mugabe once again changed the rules to
appoint Mnangagwa VP ahead Mai Mujuru who, this time, had the popular support
of the members.
The fact that
Mnangagwa did not raise the unconstitutional conduct of the 2004 elections is
his business; Mai Mujuru is under no obligation to do the same.
Mugabe with the help
of a select few constituting the Joint Operations Command, Mnangagwa is a
leading member of this Junta, have turned Zanu PF into a corrupt and tyrannical
dictatorship. It is in the nature of such tyrants to place themselves above the
rule of law and above all the others to be demigods amongst mere mortals,
elephants amongst helpless dogs who can do nothing other than bark and make
some noise.
Of course the country
is in this political and economic mess because Mugabe and JOC have been allowed
to assume these super-duper powers to ride roughshod over the ordinary people’s
freedoms, human rights and human dignity. The only way for the nation to
reclaim the people’s freedoms and rights is by challenging this falsehood that
the Mugabe and Junta are a law unto themselves.
Mai Mujuru, Didymus
Mutasa and others should stop barking at the elephant and sting it instead;
lodge the Court challenge to last year’s Zanu PF rigged electoral process and
let us how the Court can ignore the blatant irregularities! The only stopping
Mutasa and Mujuru lodging the Court challenge is having played the role of
Mugabe’s poodles for all these years it is impossible to be anything else other
than toothless poodles!

We have known for years that Mugabe and Zanu PF are a corrupt and murderous lot and we nation would have got rid of the regime years ago and certainly by 2013 elections if it was not for MDC's breath-taking incompetence. You lot forgot about the reforms whilst you were in the GNU you are only talking about the road problems because you are desperate to win an MP post and be back on the gravy train.
Yes Zanu PF are problem but you should blame the idiots who failed to implement the reforms for why Zanu PF are still in power!
Khaya Moyo said it is more disturbing to hear that such remarks were made by Mutasa, who was actually responsible for convening of the party's 6th congress held in December, as well as inviting delegates.
This is hopeless, here is the party’s spokeman issue the party’s responsible to Mutasa’s allega-tions that the party had failed to follow its own constitution; Mutasa’s allegations were very specific – any constitutional amendments were supposed to be submitted to him as the Secretary of Administration, he was supposed to circulate the proposed amendments within a month of receiving them and all parties concerned are supposed to have two months to deliberate on the amendments before the central committee/ politburo decide.
Mutasa says this time scales were never followed. Khaya Moyo’s rebuff should show the time scales were indeed honoured.
Khaya Moyo should say how many politburo and central committee members had seen the pro-posed amendments and when. According to Mutasa, none of them saw the amendments. Many of those the regime did not trust were left out of the meeting that rubber stamped the amend-ments or were forced into not attending the meeting.
All Khaya Moyo had to say was that Mutasa invited the congress delegates; which is all he can say!
Mugabe is used to rigging elections and getting away with it; we can only hope that Mutasa is not going to turn yellow as Tsvangirai did and not challenge Mugabe on this matter. Our hopes of ending the Zanu PF dictatorship rest on people standing up and being counted on matters such as this!
ACTING President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Saturday announced that government will soon intensify its land grab targeting the few remaining white farmers, multiple farm owners and re-duce farm sizes, as Zanu PF seeks to consolidate its land reform programme and ensure eco-nomic stability
The regime is desperate to remain relevant in a country where everything is falling apart and blaming it all on the regime. The new wave of invasion will please a handful but confirm to the millions that the regime is indeed beyond the peril! The nation can only start the tough rebuild-ing work when Zanu PF is forced off the country's political stage and so the task of forcing this tyrannical regime off the stage is the nation's most urgent jobs right now!
@ L Dewa
The gender balance close was added in the Zanu PF constitution because that is what Mugabe wanted. This time the clause did not suit him and so, like the tyrant he is, he simply ignored it.
@ Elliott Harineki
All our lives, we have lived under one form of political oppression or another, denied our basic hu-man freedoms and rights including the right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country and the right to life itself. We have a chance to end all this by pushing for the implementation of ALL the democratic reforms agreed in the GPA.
The nation had the chance to get the reforms implemented but those MDC idiots took the eyes off the ball. They got away with their breath-taking incompetence because we, the people, did not understand what the reforms about. We must put that right this time; every Zimbabwean must see it as the sacred duty to themselves, the nation and posterity to understand the day’s big issues affecting the nation. Understand what the democratic reforms are and how they should be implemented are THE BIG ISSUES of this day.
It is impossible to have a healthy and functioning democracy with an electorate of naïve and gulli-ble simpletons; always following blindly any leader put before them, even a breathtakingly incompetent village idiot or a tyrant. The single most important change we need in Zimbabwe is the transformation of the individual from the naïve and gullible simpleton to the thoughtful citizen confident to use his/her vote wisely and capable of holding those in power to account.
@ Obert Gutu
"Mandi Chimene has taken leave of her senses," you say. Well you should know a lot on this subject since you are one of the MDC leaders who too french leave for all the five years in the GNU. If you idiots had been awake and implemented the democratic reforms we would not have this tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship still ruining our lives, hopes and dreams.
Chimene taking "leave of her senses" indeed, you only noticing that now because you were kicked off the gravy train and are saying this to be noticed and hope the voters will vote you back into power again so you can once again have another five-year french leave!
@ Obert Gutu
"Mnangagwa has simply vindicated our position that despite desperate attempts by the newly ap-pointed leaders to brand themselves as reformists, they remained unrepentant hardliners steeped in the same chaotic beliefs and ideology of Zanu PF," you say.
All that is true but did you expect anything else?
We are not interested in what Zanu PF has vindicated we did not want these thugs ruining our lives, period. We would have got rid of them too if you and your MDC friend had implemented the democratic reforms. Why did you not get even one reform implemented in the five years of the GNU?
Ever since the rigged elections you have become very active and attentive to the public because you want their vote to get back on the gravy train and another five years of doing nothing. You and you MDC friends have already proven that you are corrupt and breathtakingly incompetent; it will be folly for the nation to trust you ever again!
A number of lawyers have said they would take up the case to challenge the legality of the conduct of the December 2014 Zanu PF elections
This case will be an important milestone in this nation's struggle to restore the rule of law; it would be a great tragedy therefore if it was not pursued with the focus and resolve it rightly deserves.
MUGABE HAS BEEN AWAY ON HIS FAR EAST HOLIDAY NOW FOR 36 DAYS.
MUGABE'S RETURN WILL SAVE THE NATION THE MOUNTING BILL WHICH IS $12 MILLION AT LEAST; OTHER THAN THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO BE GAINED FROM HIS RETURN - HE IS THAT USELESS!
Cephas Msipa says he is going to rest from politics.
If the truth be told, it is the nation that needs a rest from your utterly pointless comments. You are just one of those political leaders would will be remember for the mess you helped create in the country by your years of groveling to a tyrant when the country was crying for leaders of substance.
Did Chinotimba retain the farm he seized and all those he helped to seize in the past? That would go a long way to restore the country's economic recovery than him collecting a few bags of rubbish to get publicity. At a time the nation is crying for competent leaders to lead us out of this hell-on-earth; what do we get but a self-promoting clown! S****t!
@ Abel Madi
“Someone needs to convince me how an election is rigged by a voters roll,” you challenged. Well I will take up that challenge.
In the 2013 election “nearly a million voters”, according to the election monitors “300 000 voters” ac-cording to ZEC were turned away from Polling Station and failed to vote because their names were not on the voters roll. It is a confirm fact that some voters were registered in constituencies they have never ever lived.
Now I put the case to you those in charge of voter registration deliberately posted the names of opposition supporters in wrong constituencies. But because the voters roll was never released individuals were not able to establish the mistake and get it put right. And an analysis of the names wrongly posted would also have shown that this was indeed a deliberate mistake.
There were 6 million registered voters which is nonsense given the population is 12 million; there is no way 50% of the population can be over 18 year. But having more registered voters than actual voters works well if there is going to be multiple voting and that is exactly what happened with voters bussed to a number of Polling Station and casting as many as ten votes at each stop.
If the voters roll was release then a close scrutiny of the roll would have shown errors of multiple entry of the same voters, deceased people whose names are still on the voters roll, etc. Remove all these and a more realist figure of voters, much less than 6 million, will emerge. Comparing this new figure with cast votes would have shown that there was more than 100% voter turn-out which is mathematically impossible unless someone voted more than once!
You do not believe there was vote rigging in the 2013 elections – not because there is evidence of vote rigging but because you do not want to look at the mountain of evidence. There is nothing me or anyone can do to open your eyes and mind to the reality you just do not want to see and understand. Please yourself!
@ Trust Mari
We are talking about simpletons like Mutasa, Gumbo, Mugabe, Mujuru, etc.; they only ideology they know and understand is doing everything to get and retain political power and then loot as much as you can as long as you can. There is nothing else beyond the individual to focus on.
You want to appear to be the sophisticated one who see beyond the individual; well tell us what else you have found?
@ Tawanda Majoni
“Zimbabwe's political opposition - particularly Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC- is extremely disappoint-ing. It does not seem to have a single clue on how to stamp its authority as the alternative to the ruling but equally clueless Zanu-PF. That leaves the electorate between a hard place and the sea, with no escape route from the ongoing crisis,” you said.
You are absolutely spot on expect that the electorate in this case have only themselves to blame for this. Nations get the government and opposition they deserve and after 35 years of inde-pendence Zimbabweans deserve both the corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF as ruling party and corrupt and breathtakingly incompetent MDC as the opposition.
We elected a village idiot like Tsvangirai; of course he does not have clue as what to do on the economic meltdown, the political reforms, etc. All he is hoping for is another chance on the gravy train so he can take up from where he left on the globe-trotting and chasing women of ill repute!
It is the electorate who have no clue what they want in a national leader and until they that the task of electing competent leaders with the seriousness the matter demands then the nation will have a tyrant and/or a village idiot in State House whilst the nation sink deeper and deeper into this sewer pond of our own making!
Those who refuse to think like humans have per se elected to live like animals. In terms economic misery, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Welcome to the Banana Republic of Zimbabwe, Tawanda!
@ Msiyamwa
You inability to comprehend even the most simple situation is a sign of just how hard it is for reason and logic to penetrate that hermetically seal damba, Trifoliate orange.
MDC was tasked to implement the raft of democratic reforms; reforms all agreed were necessary for free, fair and credible elections. They had five years of the GNU to implement the reforms but failed to get even one reform implemented. Not one.
Mugabe bribed Tsvangirai and his MDC friends by offering them the trappings of high office plus the $ 4 million Highlands mansion for Tsvangirai and other goodies for Tendai Biti and the rest. The accepted bribes and in return they kicked the reforms into the tall grass. They saw to it that not even one reform was implemented.
So what are you wittering about people asking Tsvangirai to be a “martyr”?
Is Tsvangirai telling you that nonsense in your MDC-T meeting? He got the mansion and wasted millions of dollars of our taxpayers’ cash chasing women of ill repute and he still views himself to be a martyr? We paid for his mansion and he repaid us by selling our hopes and dreams of ending the Zanu PF dictatorship and yet the village idiot has the chic to call himself a martyr!
@ Ken Yamamoto
As one would say in Shona, "Yabaya gudo nomukanwa!" (You hit the nail on the head!) Although I think the Shona version is more flowery.
At the start of the Movie 300 the young King Leonidas is shown killing a wolf with a single thrust of his spear through the beast's open mouth. That is the image the Shona saying is trying to capture; here the person is killing a baboon, gudo, with a single thrust of his spear.
Didymus Mutasa: A moron with an overinflated ego! Yap! That is Didymus Mutasa alright, you said it all in one powerful thrust!
The tragedy for Zimbabwe is he is not the only moron with an overinflated ego. At least 90% of Muga-be’s cabinet members throughout the 35 years of the tyrant’s rule are certified morons, which explains why the country has sunk so deep into political and economic chaos and despair and so quickly.
