“The President said every Zimbabwean should
feel obliged to build the country by leading by example in everything they do,”
reported State media.
What example did you and your Zanu PF cronies
set in all your last 38 years in government? For 37 years you have looted,
rigged elections and committed all manner of violence included cold blooded
murder against innocent civilians to gratify your insatiable appetite for power
and wealth. You have destroyed the country’s once promising economy so that
today 90% of our people are unemployed and ¾ live on US$1.00 or less a day.
You have murdered over 30 000 innocent
Zimbabweans to establish this de facto one-party cum one-man dictatorship that
still dominates this nation to this day. It was none other than President
Mnangagwa, VP Chiwenga, Minister Perrence Shiri and many others in this Zanu PF
junta who carried out the murders in the name of the tyrant and the
dictatorship.
If the light of justice was shone on President
Mnangagwa and his junta, they will glow like scorpions under ultra-violet light,
from all the innocent blood they have shed!
You want the nation to grovel before you and
your junta friends for staging the November 2017 coup that removed Robert
Mugabe, in gratitude. You are clearly forgetting that it was you and your cabal
who rigged elections and even committed murderers to keep Mugabe in power these
last 37 years. Worse still, you and the junta are refusing to implement the
democratic reforms and thus restore our freedoms and basic rights including the
right to free and fair elections.
The Zanu PF thugs who took over power in 1980
are still in power today. The November 2017 coup removed Robert Mugabe and few
of his G40 friends; but it is clear that dictatorship is very much alive and
thriving; most of the party thugs were in the Lacoste faction which stage the
coup and now rules with an iron fist.
“Now that we have taken back our future, we
look at our children and grandchildren with renewed hope and energy. The
sparkle of optimism for our nation has returned to our eyes and theirs,” said
the President.
“This will be
the legacy we leave to our children and future generations.”
Spare us the empty pieties!
You, President Mnangagwa, are gearing to rig the
coming elections just as you have done these last 38 years. We, the ordinary
Zimbabweans, have to continue to suffer the consequences of Zanu PF gross
mismanagement and rampant corruptions and to fight for our freedom and human
dignity in damn anguish and bury our death along the way.
Ordinary Zimbabweans will never know the taste
of freedom, cast a free and democratic vote, as long as Zanu PF retain it’s tyrannical
boot on the nation’s throat.

"I'm utterly appalled by @ Commonwealth and the #British government feting the Zimbabwe regime as it brazenly violates our constitution refusing to open up State media in violation of section 61(4) and by firing nurses without due process and all rest," said Coltart on Twitter.
For once I have to agree with Coltart.
However, why is he contesting these elections when he clearly knows the process is flawed and illegal!
You have failed to achieve anything after all your years in power and now you are hoping to extend it by asking people to vote for you for no other reason other than that you are female! I hope the voters will see through all you foolish attempts to continue to use them for your selfish enrichment!
Zimbabwe needs quality leaders and being male, female, young, old, black, white, etc. has nothing to do with quality leadership!
"Political contestation must not override national interest. This is the new thinking…if an opposition candidate is victorious in the elections President Mnangagwa is prepared to accept. Political contestation must not override national interests. People can come and go, but the state is more important," said Foreign Affairs Minister, S B Moyo.
I particularly like the emphasis on "new thinking". We have heard a lot about "new era", "new dispensation", "new Zimbabwe", etc., etc. At this rate, if we were to have another coup these guys will have to start turning back the clock just to underline how new is really NEW!
I say there is nothing new here, it is all the same rubbish branded as new!
Are we to take it that when Tsvangirai won 73% in March 2008 and Zanu PF refused to accept the result it was the OLD thinking? I am loathed to accept that for three good reasons:
1) President Mnangagwa and the junta who stage the November coup, not Mugabe, were instrumental in reject the 2008 defeat. By their own admission, the junta has said Zanu PF was transformed into a "new dispensation" because it removed Mugabe and the criminal elements around him. In other words, the coup did not change Mnangagwa and the rest of the junta in anyway or form. So, if ED and the junta saw nothing wrong in refusing to accept opposition victory is 2008 why should they do so this time?
2) Mnangagwa and the junta have just stage a military coup when they hold on power was threatened to wrestle power from Mugabe. Now that they are the ones in power, staging an excuse why they cannot handover power would a far easier challenge than the November coup. We are to take their word of honour they will accept defeat when honour is the one thing they do not have!
3) If the junta is truly interested in promoting the national interest then why has the regime pointed refused to implement the democratic reforms without which it is IMPOSSIBLE to hold free, fair and credible elections. So, the regime is willingly accepting defeat of an election process it has carte blanche powers to rig.
If the democratic reforms were all implemented include security sector reforms severing the undemocratic hold Zanu PF has on the military there would be no fear of Zanu PF thugs refusing to give up power and staging another coup as they did in 2008. These elections should not go ahead without the reforms and since Zanu PF is determined to hold them regardless our protestation we must state it now, before the elections, that the whole process is flawed and illegal and therefore is per se null and void. We should not even be wasting time negotiating anything with Zanu PF.
"What is required and would be enough is a statement from the Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, General Valerio Sibanda, made here in Zimbabwe and addressed to the citizens of Zimbabwe making an unequivocal and unconditional undertaking to the people that the military recognises and accepts the sovereignty of the people of Zimbabwe to freely choose their government and that once they have done so the armed forces will not only fully respect the decision of the people but will in fact defend and protect that decision," said Welshman Ncube.
"Secondly, the Commander of the Defence Forces must immediately withdraw all army personnel that have been deployed among the people in rural areas as part of the Zanu PF election strategy."
This is the kind of nonsense the nation has come to expect from these MDC idiots. Even if the Army was to issue such a statement and withdraw the soldiers, what guarantees are there that the Army and the regime would keep its word?
What we need is to implement the democratic reforms designed to cut the undemocratic umbilical cord we know exist between Zanu PF and the Army, Police, ZEC and all the other state institutions once and once for all and stop all this messing around.
It is little wonder not even one democratic reform was even implemented in the five years of the GNU; with idiotic leaders like Ncube, Biti, Chamisa, etc. nothing of substance will ever be done.
@ Mbombo
As long as Zanu Pf have carte blanche power to rig the elections he knows Zanu PF will never lose the elections so he can promise anything! Mugabe promise 2.2 million jobs last time knowing Zanu PF will never be held to account, same thing here!
