Mnangagwa the dangerous barking dogs are at your door steps! by Chenjerai Mubayiwa
In November, 2017, upon his arrival from self imposed exile in South Africa riding on Chiwenga’s spear (coup) Emmerson Mnangagwa thundered “ZANUPF is like a train it will continue moving while dogs are barking and endless barking to no effect” and he was determined to continue with Mugabe’s dictatorship (Operation restore Legacy).
He was so convinced that by him replacing Mugabe who was by now hated by the world and his people, the international community would just look the other way and start pouring investments into Zimbabwe and he did not think there was any need for reform or a need to collaborate with opposition parties.
Mnangagwa was so confident that the Zimbabwean people were now behind him forgetting all his past transgressions including the murdering of twenty thousand people in Matabeleland. Until up to the July 30, 2019 elections Mnangagwa was convinced that Zimbabweans were behind him. Mnangagwa had a rude awakening on July, 30, 2018, when he realized that the majority of Zimbabweans did not like him at all.
He was so scared that he manufactured a crisis which enabled him to shoot and kill people in the streets of Harare on August, 1, 2019. By doing so, Mnangagwa was sending a message to the Zimbabweans that anyone who tries to do anything stupid he will not hesitate to kill him or her. Facing an eminent revolt in January, 2019 Mnangagwa resorted to what he knows best kill and rape.
Subsequently, while addressing his supporters in Masvingo he openly informed Zimbabweans that if anyone dares challenge him “munounyanidzwa” you will be killed and he means it. I am surprised and shocked that intelligent people like Tendai Biti and Nelson Chamisa still believes they can do any business or have a dialogue with Mnangagwa. Mnangagwa is not going to dialogue himself out of power. The opposition has only one choice to confront Mnangagwa head on once and for all.
This idea of piece meal approach to ZANUPF will not work and ZANUPF is ready to kill and rape in order to keep its power. Life is too good for them to voluntarily relinquish power. While Mnangagwa is in control of the army, parliament and all other government leavers; fortunately there are barking dogs which are really dangerous and fatal to Mnangagwa’s train these dogs are called the economy and the masses.
This ZANUPF train cannot move without diesel or electrical power. If the train runs out of diesel in Gweru on its way to Bulawayo from Harare it will not proceed and Mnangagwa can just get captured right there. This is the only thing going for the opposition and these are the ultimate invincible barking dogs Mnangagwa fear most and they are right at the door of his train.
Therefore, Mnangagwa the dogs are coming and if the opposition is smart they can work closely with these barking dogs and Mnangagwa cannot ignore these dogs even akathisia mugudzururi dzinouya chete. Fortunately his friends in SADC and AU can only offer him morale support and no money and they are also broke. Marombe egaega aya.

Well, look who is talking! Professor W Ncube left MDC to form his own party and it failed to take-off just as J Mujuru's party did not take off.
Given that MDC leaders are corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs, they have failed to get even one reform implemented in 20 years, Kasukuwere and his new outfit clearly see they have a fighting chance; they are corrupt and incompetent, but then so is Zanu PF and MDC leaders!
Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo told NewsDay Weekender yesterday that the ruling party would not spend sleepless nights on Kasukuwere, whom he described as a nonentity.
“The launch of the movement is insignificant and meaningless to us. He is representing nothing. That movement has no bearing on Zanu PF. We are a mass party which has a vast support base. We don’t lose sleep on that nonentity. He is just but a dreamer,” Moyo said.
MDC president Nelson Chamisa’s spokesperson Nkululeko Sibanda said Kasukuwere’s movement did not even affect an inch of their space as he was a Zanu PF creation.
“We don’t have to comment on that. Kasukuwere is former Zanu PF or Zanu PF, I think a comment from there would suffice. The MDC has had Kasukuwere as a political opponent. You know how we won elections when he was in politics. Why is that question even relevant?” Sibanda asked rhetorically.
The people of Zimbabwe already know Kasukuwere as someone who is corrupt, incompetent and a political thug. His entry on the political stage would have been dismissed as a none in event if Zimbabwe was now a country with healthy and functioning democracy and thus with competent and focused political players already on the stage.
Sadly, Zimbabwe is still under the spell of the de facto one-party dictatorship and the political stage is crowded with corrupt and incompetent players from both Zanu PF and the opposition’s camp. So the addition of Kasukuwere had caused a stare because he will be competing with the rest as equals. One former G40 is an MP already!
Of course, both Zanu PF and MDC know Kasukuwere is a threat to them and they are only putting a brave face.
PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa disclosed yesterday that one of his deputies, Constantino Chiwenga, had told him to toughen up and urgently deal with the rampant factionalism that is once again tearing apart the ruling Zanu-PF.
"Chiwenga always tells me that I am too soft. But I always tell him that we can no longer use tactics that we used during the war.
"But the truth is the truth. You don't hunt with other people's dogs. We need to find other ways to flush out other people's dogs.
I do not know about Mnangagwa being “too soft” with with opponents within the party especially since the division is fuelled by the worsening economic situation and has spared no one. Every one is in a desperate search for economic security and given Mnangagwa’s failure to revive the economy he is therefore viewed as dead duck to be off-loaded a.s.a.p.
Still, Mnangagwa is certainly not soft with all his perceived political opponents and critics given the events of 1 st August 2018 and the last two week of January 2019. If these thugs are prepared to use brute force on one of their own what more on the opposition or ordinary Zimbabweans! The writing is on the wall: “Zanu PF intents to use brutal force to retain the party’s strangle hold on power.”
We are in deep trouble. We had many golden opportunities to implement the democratic reforms and end the Zanu PF dictatorship. MDC leaders wasted them. Now we will wish MDC had not sold-out because removing Zanu PF now is going to be tough and costly.
