“Former
Education minister David Coltart is a victim of Zanu PF politician Jonathan
Moyo’s acerbic rants on social media, which always have racial undertones. President
Robert Mugabe does not hide his disdain for people like Coltart and once encouraged
his supporters “to drive fear into the white man’s heart,” reported the
Standard.
Our
sympathy for Mr Coltart should not nonetheless blind us from seeing him for the
corrupt and incompetent MDC leader he is.
Many
Zimbabweans who have known David Coltart after independence, held him in very
high regard; right up to the watershed July 2013 rigged elections. David
Coltart, like all the other MDC leaders in the GNU played his part in doing
nothing to implement the democratic reforms agreed in the GPA.
To rub
hot chilli into the open wound, he was one of the leading MDC leaders who led
from the front in the campaign for a yes vote in new constitution referendum. The
new constitution was a weak and feeble one, not the democratic constitution the
nation was after. MDC desperately needed the new constitution approved because
they had little else to show for all their five years in the GNU.
Mr
Coltart and the other MDC leaders assured the nation repeatedly that the new
constitution would deliver free, fair and credible elections. The people
believed them and approve the feeble constitution by a whopping 95% yes vote in
the March 2013 referendum.
By noon
of elections day, 31 July 2013, the penny finally dropped as Tsvangirai and his
fellow MDC leaders realized that the elections were being rigged and blatantly
so too.
Some of the MDC leaders like Sipape Nkomo and Tendai Biti have since admitted that MDC betrayed the nation; Biti called it "collective (act of) idiocy". David Coltart is one of the MDC leaders who have to this day stubbornly refused to acknowledge they are corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs. Indeed they are actively seeking to be re-elected back into power as if they are as innocent as Saint John the Baptist himself!
Right now Zimbabwe is in the middle of devastating political and economic hurricane that has forced unemployment to soar to 90% plus, millions now live in abject poverty and hopeless despair, we have 18 hours a day power cuts, clean running water is a rare treat, etc. Worse still, the situation is set to get a lot worse as long as Zanu PF remains in power.

We are
not getting out of this mess until we implement the GPA reforms and holding
free and fair elections. Given the
country’s feeble constitution and the fact that none of the democratic reforms
were implemented (thanks to Mr Coltart and his MDC fiends), it is not going to
be easy to get Mugabe and Zanu PF to accept the implementation of the GPA
reforms now. Buckle up Zimbabwe, we are in for a long rough ride and only God
knows when and how this is going to end!
It should be said loud and clear that this hurricane could and should have been avoided if MDC leaders, including Mr David Coltart, had faithfully implemented the democratic reforms and drafted a democratic constitution. So all those who still prophesy to hold MDC leaders like David Coltart in high regard after they sold-out during the GNU either do not understand the seriousness of betrayal and its catastrophic consequences to the nation and/or they are sentimental fools!

Of
course any reasonable Zimbabwean would not only condemn Minister Jonathan Moyo
racist taunting of Coltart but condemn the Minister for he is the grandfather
of all betrayers and sell-outs. Moyo has been one of Mugabe’s most reliable and
consistent propagandists and strategists producing one dirty scheme after
another which have helped the tyrant stay in power all these years. Moyo has
even boasted of his exploits in being the tyrant’s schemer. It takes all sorts!
Jonathan
Moyo is the type of sell-out who would sell his own mother for a price and be
proud he had a mother to sell!
Still Jonathan
Moyo’s racist taunting of David Coltart, in the grant scheme of things, nothing
more that the murderous hyena snapping at the vulture for no other reason than
that he alone should be the mid-wife to the goat. Of course the goat wants
neither the ravenous hyena nor the gawking vulture for a mid-wife!
