Whilst I agree with Professor
Changamire’s primary accession that the G40 has all but lost the Zanu PF
factional war to the Mnangagwa faction. I do not agree with some of his analysis.
“(Professor Jonathan) Moyo
has been found out by Mugabe,” wrote Professor Changamire. “His window dressed
plan of pushing for a Grace Mugabe presidency, only to grab power from her
after her husband's demise was found out.
“Moyo is a genius, but Mugabe
is a bigger genius, if not the best. If the theme of things in a single day is
striking, consider the actual faction that Moyo led appeared in pole position
to land a fatal blow to Vice President Mnangagwa.”
Well the truth is G40 faction’s
presidential candidate, Grace Mugabe, is a feather weight and although she has
landed many punches on her opponent, VP Mnangagwa, a political heavy weight,
she failed to land the knock-out punch. It is now clear that she will never
land that knock-out punch and Mugabe, who have cheered her and the G40 faction,
knows this and, being the cunning devil he is, is negotiating the cessation of
hostility. Instead of offering the tradition olive-branch, Mugabe is offering
all the G40 members to Mnangagwa to punish them as he sees fit!
As for Mugabe being a genius,
nothing could be further from the truth!
Mugabe is a cunning and
ruthless tyrant with black and an Absolute zero cold-hear to match; I will
grant his that. Those given to scratching the surface and easily impressionable
have often fallen into the trap and confused cunning for being clever but after
36 years of historic evidence only the foolish ones will still be confused.
Mugabe conned many people
into believing he was seizing the white owned farms to redistributed the land
to the impoverished peasants. He earned himself many brownies for that! In
reality, he kept most of the farms for himself and his cronies to feed their
insatiable greed. He has 14 farms!
As for the peasants, they not
only did not get the land but economic collapse triggered by the collapse of
the agricultural sector – Mugabe and his cronies have failed to put the seized farms
into productive use – has left the peasant destitute. In the past peasants had depended
on subsidies from family members in full time employment but economic collapse
has resulted in unemployment soaring to 80% plus; millions of Zimbabweans have
left the country or else now live in abject poverty.
It beggars believe how anyone
with even a half brain would call someone, who by his sheer incompetence has
forced millions of his people to starve in a country which by all account
should be the Garden of Eden, a genius.
Mugabe has managed to stay in
power for 36 years because he was able to cheat and bamboozle his political
opponents like Tsvangirai and Mujuru, not because he is clever but rather
because they are breathtakingly naïve and incompetent!
Those who are not smart
enough to distinguish the cunning from the clever have no business making a
judgement call on who is a genius. If Mugabe is not clever then how can he be a
genius!
“Friends, Romans, countrymen,
lend me your ears.
I come to bury Caesar, not to
praise him.
The evil that men do lives
after them;
The good is oft interrèd with
their bones.
So let it be with Caesar. The
noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was
ambitious.
If it were so, it was a
grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar
answered it.”
Mark Antony: Julius Caesar.
There will be no good to be
interred with Mugabe when the tyrant dies. I am pleased he has lived long
enough to have the evil he has done exposed for the whole world to see. I hope
he will live long enough to account for some of his evil deeds. But died or
alive, he knows that he will be stripped of all the farms, mansions, etc. he
looted from the people!
