Ncube MDC admit failing to implement reforms was a "mistake" but would not admit they are corrupt!

In an interview with NewZimbabwe.com, MDC national spokesperson Josh Mhambi said they made a mistake by going into elections without electoral reforms. 

"The conditions still remain the same but we also note we did indicate from the outset that we were not happy with the conditions then, even when we were participating in the 2013 elections. Now if you repeat a mistake twice it becomes a decision.

"We did make the mistake of participating under those conditions and the immediate benefit is that we are avoiding endorsing a fait accompli," said Mhambi.

1 + 1 = 3

That is a mistake for someone with more than two years of formal education much less one with seven years of primary education. It is a mistake because after seven years of formal education one is expected to know a lot more complex arithmetic than the basic one plus one.

MDC went into the GNU knowing the parties in the GNU had a raft of democratic reforms to be implemented to ensure the next elections were free and fair. SADC heads of State reminded Morgan Tsvangirai, Tendai Biti, Welshman Ncube, David Coltart and all the other MDC faction leaders to implement the democratic reforms but nothing was done.

Mugabe granted the MDC leaders all the comforts of political power, the generous salaries and allowances, the ministerial cars, the opportunity to globe-trot at public expense and, for Tsvangirai, the $ 4 million Highlands mansion. Mugabe pampered MDC leaders for a good reason, he did not want any reform implemented and he bribed them to oblige.

“MDC vadzidzi kudya vanyerere!” (MDC leaders have learnt to enjoy the gravy train trappings without rocking the boat!) was the pithy remark from one Zanu PF crony as to why MDC had kicked the reforms into the tall grass!

SADC leaders literally begged MDC not to take part in the July 2013 elections without any reforms as Samuel Sipape Nkomo has since admitted.

“It is common knowledge that Lindiwe Zulu (President Jacob Zuma’s international relations adviser) advised us,” admitted Nkomo. “Zuma also advised us and even the Sadc Heads of State meeting in Maputo (Mozambique) also advised not to participate in the elections without electoral, media and security sector reforms, among others.”

MDC knew from the start of the GNU about the raft of democratic reforms they needed to implement, had five years to implement them, they were reminded again and again to implement the reforms throughout the five years and at the eleventh hour they were begged not to take part in the elections without reforms and still they failed to implement even one reform and went on to take part in the elections! How can anyone in all honest claim that was a “mistake”!

MDC leaders were paid and paid well to ignore the reforms and all advice to implement the reforms; it is an insult for any MDC leaders to tell us now that they made a mistake. They just do not want to admit that the betrayed the nation, they are corrupt, and some admit to a less crime of making a mistake.

           

Deliberate and calculated mistake + paid to make the mistake  =  corruption

that is as clear and straight forward as 1 + 1 = 2!

It was foolish to have voted for corrupt MDC leader in the first place because we the voters should always be careful whom we elect to rule. Now that we know MDC leaders are corrupt and they have proven so graphically it would folly to ever trust them again with the destiny of this great nation!
