MDC Alliance treasurer-general David Coltart has welcomed the appointment of United States human rights defender and career diplomat Linda Thomas Greenfield as US ambassador to the United Nations.
"I don't know what she is going to do. The main point is that she is sympathetic to human rights issues. Her appointment definitely puts Zimbabwe on her radar since she has an understanding of the ongoing persecution of journalists, opposition activists and human rights defenders," said Coltart.
President-elect Joe Biden and his incoming administration must read 2004 to 2007 USA Ambassador Chris Dell’s report describing the late MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai as “a flawed and indecisive character who, if he got into power, would be an albatross round the nation’s neck!” Time has proven beyond all reasonable doubt that Ambassador Dell was right.
MDC did get into power in the 2008 to 2013 GNU and the party’s primary task was to implement the democratic reforms and end the curse of rigged elections. They failed to implement even one reform because Mugabe bribed them with the trapping of high office and, to demonstrate their appreciation, they throw away the reforms.
Ever since the GNU, MDC leaders have participated in elections, knowing fully well that Zanu PF was rigging the election; they did because Zanu PF was giving away a few gravy train seats to entice the opposition. They remembered the good-time of the GNU years and could not resist the bait.
Worst of all, the MDC leaders KNEW that by participating in flawed and illegal elections they will give the process credibility, as David Coltart himself admitted in his book.
“The worst aspect for me about the failure to agree a coalition was that both MDCs couldn’t now do the obvious – withdraw from the (2013) elections,” wrote Senator Coltart in his Book, The Struggle Continues 50 years of Tyranny in Zimbabwe.
“The electoral process was so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step was to withdraw, which would compel SADC to hold Zanu PF to account. But such was the distrust between the MDC-T and MDC-N that neither could withdraw for fear that the other would remain in the elections, winning seats and giving the process credibility.”
Of course, by giving the flawed election process credibility the opposition also gave the vote rigging, ipso facto illegitimate, Zanu PF regime legitimacy!
It really is very frustrating that Zimbabwe should still groaning under the yoke of this corrupt, tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship when the country has had so many golden opportunities to end the dictatorship and wasted them. Worst of all that it should be the same corrupt and incompetent MDC leaders who have wasted the chance and are now the greatest impediment to meaningful democratic change who are pontificating about Zanu PF dictatorship.
The Americans’ 2001 ZDERA sanctions on Zanu PF leaders have failed to bring about any meaningful political change in Zimbabwe because those tasked to deliver the change have sold-out and betrayed the nation and cause. Like it or not MDC leaders are now an albatross round Zimbabwe’s neck!
MDC leaders have made a big song and dance about fighting for free, fair and credible elections for the last 20 years and yet they have failed to deliver even one meaningful democratic change even when they had the golden opportunity to do so. MDC leaders have been running with the hare whilst, nicodemously, hunting with the hounds. The renewed sanctions must not only target Zanu PF leaders but their clandestine partners in crime - the MDC sell-outs. It is time for some clever boxing!

This is problematic for multiple reasons. First of all, it is an argument built on the false assumption that American democracy is not vulnerable to authoritarian interventions and power grabs like “lesser” democracies elsewhere in the world, and especially in Africa. It is an argument born out of America’s belief in its own moral superiority and its political class’s inherent racial biases.
On the surface, these may seem like harmless comparisons between political leaders with similar dictatorial tendencies. But why do so many choose to draw parallels between Donald Trump and African leaders when the recent history of the West itself is full of political leaders who have been as autocratic, as power hungry, and as willing to undermine democratic procedures as their African counterparts? Was it not Western colonialism that paved the way for many of Africa’s democratic failures in the first place, anyway?
This is just a nonsense argument in that the writer complains of comparing Trump to one of Africa’s notorious dictator, Robert Mugabe, as a racist. And yet in the next breathe ask “Was it not Western colonialism that paved the way for many of Africa’s democratic failures in the first place, anyway?” Is this not a tacit admission of Africa’s inferiority complex that the white colonialist imposed a defective political system and Africans have not only failed to repair the weakness but have instead made it worse!
Of course, every self respecting Zimbabwean hangs his/her head in shame to look at what Zimbabwe has become under Mugabe and Zanu PF. It is nonsense to keep wittering about white colonial oppression when the colonial days are the golden age compared to what the country has become.
The Ministry of Health and Child Care has with immediate effect closed Chinhoyi High School to non-examination day scholars, while Covid-19 positive and negative candidates will write examinations in separate rooms after 57 students tested positive on Monday.
While the school has been cordoned off to outside learners, examination candidates will be allowed to enter the school’s premises but under strict and rigorous monitoring from health officials.
At least 57 out of the 74 students tested positive after a 17-year-old female student had earlier tested positive for the disease.
It was not clear by this afternoon whether teachers who were tested together with the students had contracted the virus.
The female student was taken to Mzari Clinic fir isolation where seven Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) students who recently tested positive are while the 57 students who are asymptotic are being isolated at the school.
Ever since the corona virus outbreak Zimbabwe has failed to come up with a test and tracking regime that could meaningfully identify any corona virus hotspot quickly. For the system to confirm 57 cases at just one institution after God knows how many days since the first individuals got the virus goes to show the system is not working.
The country has failed to carry out 1 000 tests country wide a day. No doubt, non-examination day students have been send back home without being tested. Those who have tested negative must be tested again in about 5 days just to be sure. But when the whole province can only do 100 test a day, this will never happen!
it is not as if the pupils are learning anything given the chaos caused by government failing to pay teachers a living wage!
Zimbabwe is very lucky that corona virus is not as deadly as Ebola!
How we have allowed ourselves to get into this tragic situation with unemployment at 90%, basic services like education and health care all but collapsed and millions now living in abject poverty!
Zimbabwe is facing a serious existential threat, we do not have another 20 years to wait for poorly targeted sanctions to work. It is time for boxing clever!
After 20 years of target sanctions against the Zanu PF thugs and no meaningful change on the ground, there is a crying need for the USA, EU and the rest in the West to revisit the sanctions and ask why nothing has changed. The answer has been staring them in the face all along - the sell-out opposition.
There is no denying that the 2008 to 2013 GNU, for all its many short comings, did offer Zimbabwe the best chance since the country's independence to implement the democratic changes the country was dying for that would have ended there and then the Zanu PF dictatorship. No one, absolutely no one, with any common sense would deny that the reason why not even one reform was implemented was all Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends' fault. They sold-out!
"MDC leaders were busy enjoying themselves during the GNU, they forgot why they were there!" remarked one SADC Ambassador in sheer exasperation.
The Americans went to great lengths to explain to Mnangagwa and his cronies what democratic reforms Zanu PF needed to implement to ensure the July 2018 elections were free, fair and credible. Mnangagwa ignored the reforms confident that Nelson Chamisa and his fellow MDC friends will participate in the elections regardless how flawed and illegal the process happen to be. The opposition participated even when it was clear ZEC had failed to produce something as basic to democratic elections as a verified voters' roll, for Pete's sake!
The West has ignore the role the MDC leaders have played in undermining all efforts to end the Zanu PF dictatorship for the last 20 years. They cannot continue to ignore this reality any more. Yes, Ambassador Chris Dell's report on Morgan Tsvangirai must be considered essential reading for the incoming President Joe Biden administration in formulating their policy on Zimbabwe.
"The resounding victory of our sister revolutionary party Chama cha mapinduzi in Tanzania which won 262 seats of the 264 parliamentary seats must inspire Zanu-PF to vanquish the opposition in the forthcoming by-elections and subsequent 2023 harmonised general elections," Mnangagwa said amid applause.
"I applaud the three leagues from the party for their determination to advance the party aims and objectives. I urge them to continue mobilising to join and participate in all party and government programmes.”
There are two reasons why Zanu PF is confident of yet another Zanu PF landslide electoral victory; one, with no democratic reforms, the party will once again blatantly rig the elections. Two, Zanu PF knows that the party does not need to implement even one reform because the opposition will participate in the elections regardless of all the glaring flaws, irregularities and illegalities. Greed has Nelson Chamisa and his MDC friends hooked.
It was greed that stopped the MDC implementing even one reform during the 2008 to 2013 GNU and it is greed that made them participate in the 2013 and 2018 elections even when ZEC had failed to produce something as basic to democratic elections as a verified voters’ roll.
“MDC A has stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections!” said Chamisa. Of course, he was lying. MDC were hell bend on participating in the elections they even claimed to have Winning In Rigged Elections (WIRE) strategies!
Zanu PF has allowed the opposition to win a few gravy train seats and this is the bait that has Chamisa and company hooked!
Zimbabwe will never ever have free, fair and credible elections as long as this new Zanu PF and MDC partnership is allowed to exist. We must hold Zanu PF to account on holding free, fair and credible elections; this is a fundamental right and not a privilege. We know MDC leaders are selling out on free and fair elections, we must not allow them to get away with it, not this time.
@ Mwembe
Yes the economic meltdown is getting worse but that is not going to stop Zanu PF winning elections as long as they are allowed to rig. And thanks to MDC selling-out during the GNU Zanu PF still has its carte blanche powers to rig elections!
Even you cannot deny that MDC A is preparing to participate in the 2023 election with no reforms in place. I dare you to go ahead and deny it!
You and your MDC friends like to fume and froth about Zanu PF and yet you are the ones keeping Zanu PF in power!
Based on Hanke’s Annual Inflation Rate model, Lebanon is seen to have surpassed Zimbabwe, landing as the second most hyperinflated in the world, right after Venezuela.
Lebanon’s inflation rate reached a high 365%, which is 3 times its percentage rate of August where it was at 120%. Zimbabwe 258% Venezuela 2 133%.
Professor Hanke calculates inflations based on the measurements of The John’s Hopkins-Cato Institute Troubled Currencies Project (TCP), which he directs.
Lest we forget Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation reached the dizzying height of 500 billion percent in 2008 destroying everything. The nation has never really recovered from that and now we are being hit yet again with another hyperinflation tsunami wave!
FINANCE Minister Mthuli Ncube Thursday moved to widen governments tax collection nets as he delivered his $421.6 billion budget for 2021 which will see new tax measures being applied on Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and self-employed professionals among others.
Delivered under the theme “Building Resilience and Sustainable Economic Recovery”, the blueprint envisages the economy to rebound by 7.4% in 2021 from consecutive 2-year downturn, ensuring strong economic recovery building on the milestones from the Transitional Stabilisation Programme (TSP) and targeting additional support measures to cushion vulnerable households.
A projected 150 000 formal jobs are expected to be recovered after having been lost due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Among some major highlights, the Office of the President and Cabinet received an allocation of $14.26 billion, parliament of Zimbabwe $7.1 billion, Public Service labour and social welfare $6.9 billion, Defence and War Veterans $23.7 billion , Industry and Commerce $2.3 billion.
The Health Ministry was allotted $54.7 billion, Primary and Secondary Education $55.2 billion and Higher education $14.3 billion.
The Agriculture Ministry received $46.2 billion, Mines and Mining Development $1.3 billion, Environment and Tourism $1.7 billion, among other key allocations.
Ncube tightened the tax grip effecting an upward review of the Pay As You Earn Tax free threshold from $5000 to $10 000.
The Intermediated Mobile Money Transfer Tax commonly referred to as the 2 % tax free threshold was increased from $300 to $500.
For the last 40 years without fail, Zanu PF has repeatedly told the nation the country is turning the corner, things will be even brighter tomorrow than they are today. We started with mass prosperity, “Gutsva ruzhinji!” as Mugabe never tired of saying it, we were then asked asked to tighten our belts for brighter millennium, then 2020 and now we are going for upper middle income in vision 2023.
As the nation approached each target, the regime quietly set a new target date with no explanation why we had failed to achieve the old target. The nation has been chasing one mirage after another!
Meanwhile the economic reality on the ground has been a stead and relentless economic decline. Instead of mass prosperity we have mass poverty.
Zanu PF will never admit to failing much less allow the people to have a meaningful say on who governs the country. Unless we put an end to the curse of rigged elections we will be chasing mirages forever amen!
Discussing the merits or otherwise of this budge is just an exercise in futility; Zanu PF will do as it pleases as it has always done. Those who like to hear themselves speak can go ahead in indulge themselves!
Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers Association president Denford Mutashu said Ncube's budget should focus on poverty eradication and be pro-production.
"The minister should focus on poverty eradication, stimulate demand and come up with a budget that is pro-production," he said.
"Import substitution balanced with a robust export strategy will save the country's precious foreign currency, consolidate economic gains and reduce inflation towards a single digit figure.”
There is a difference between wishful thinking and rational thinking; Comrade Mutashu is giving us an example of wishful thinking. Since when has Zanu PF ever focus on eradicating poverty! Zanu PF has always had its eyes focused on corruption and very little else!
Iranian ambassador to Zimbabwe Abbas Navazani this morning paid a courtesy call on Vice President Kembo Mohadi at his Munhumutapa offices in Harare where the two discussed possible areas of co-operation and strengthening the bilateral relations between the two countries.
In an interview after the meeting, VP Mohadi said they discussed a number of issues including possible investments in the agriculture and mining sectors.
Corruption is rampant in Zimbabwe an economic cooperation is not likely to be one side, Zimbabwe buying finished products and all pay for with unprocessed raw materials sold for a song! Many nations are milking Zimbabwe and Iran is exploring ways to do the same.
As long as Zimbabwe remains a Banana Republic, there will never such a thing as fair trade with Zimbabwe.
The finance and economic development minister on Thursday presented his 2021 national budget, which he believes will work if these criteria are met.
He is also pinning hopes on a tourism recovery, which will depend on the Covid-19 pandemic not worsening.
As such, the 2021 budget has an “expenditure ceiling of ZW$421.6bn [US$5.08bn, or R77.33bn]”, he said.
Development partners were expected to lend or give the country a total of US$841.5m (R12.81bn), of which $282.1m (R4.29bn) would come from multilateral partners.
Ncube is projecting a 7.4% overall GDP growth, with year-on-year inflation by the end of 2021 reaching 9%.
Minister Mthuli Ncube has promised many great things including reviving the Zimbabwe economy; pay off our outstanding debt so we can borrow again from the IMF, WB, etc. and controlling inflation. He has failed to deliver on any of his promises; the economic meltdown is worse than before he took over, the IMF and WB have walked out on Zimbabwe and inflation has soared to 838% or thereabout.
The whole budget is meaningless because it has no bearing to what is happening on the ground.
Corruption is rampant in Zimbabwe. The Army, CIO, Police and the select few continue to have their diamond mining concession, their looting licence; everyone knows this and are all in on the act trying to amass wealth as quickly as they can wherever they can. Minister Ncube can pretend he is blind, deaf and dumb, this has not stopped the looting. As long as Zimbabwe remains a Banana Republic in which corruption is accepted as normal there will never be any meaningful economic recovery. Never!
If Professor Mthuli Ncube had any self-respect and empathy for the millions of ordinary Zimbabweans who are the real victims of the Banana Republic then he should have resigned by now. He is in for the prestige and the money, just like the other Zanu PF thugs, and to hell with Povo!
I totally agree, MDC had the golden chance to implement the democratic reforms which would have end the Zanu PF dictatorship during the 2008 to 2013 GNU. Many Western nations and organisations who had supported MDC up to this point deserted the party in droves. Why the West failed to follow this up by including some of the MDC leaders on the sanctions list just to drive the message home, is a mystery.
Still, after 20 years of the sanctions the Western nation must surely realise that sanctions have not worked because a number of people have undermined their effectiveness. There are selfish individuals like Professor Mthuli Ncube who have willingly worked for Zanu PF knowing fully well the regime rigged the elections and therefore is illegitimate. Then there are the opposition sell-outs!
America's sanction regime on Zimbabwe will be up for review in four months time, one hopes that the new President Joe Biden will not only renew the sanctions but laser focus them on the targeted individual, including many new targets. It must not, cannot be business as usual for these Zanu PF thugs and their surrogate opposition sell-outs!
@ Peter Mupondi
Is it possible for President Advocate Nelson Chamisa to be close to Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa?
●Zanu PF has a system which is eating its own key members.
What guarantees the safety of Chamisa who opposes it?
▪︎We can’t all be stupid to believe that General Mujuru died of a candle flame. He was a key member, yet he perished and nothing was done. People moved on!
You are right, we need the democratic reforms to be implemented. Indeed the people of Zimbabwe have risked life and limb to elect MDC leaders into power for the sole purpose of implementing the reforms. MDC leaders have had 20 years, 5 of the years in the 2008 to 2013 GNU, and yet have failed to implement even one democratic reform. Not one!
If MDC had implemented the democratic reforms, Mnangagwa and Zanu PF would be history by now. So the question you should be asking is Why has MDC failed to implement even one reform in 20 years?
Or to put it more bluntly: MDC leaders have already proven beyond all doubt that they are corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless Can Zimbabwe afford to continue to follow blindly fools like Chamisa?
Three years ago, euphoria gripped a nation that was epitomised by cronyism, corruption mis-governance and repression when President Emmerson Mnangagwa took over from long-time leader Robert Mugabe after a military-assisted intervention that was code-named Operation Restore Legacy.
Zimbabwe had known one leader since Independence in 1980 and this gave many who took to the street the more reason to celebrate Mugabe’s fall. Mugabe’s ouster was a culmination of dramatic events on the political front which were triggered by internal dynamics within the ruling party ZANU PF.
The very fact that the November 2017 coup was “a culmination of dramatic events triggered by internal dynamics within Zanu PF” should have left everyone else in no doubt the coup would change the leadership of the dictatorship but not end the dictatorship itself. All those who celebrated the coup were just naive and gullible people foolish enough o confuse the removal of a dictator with the end of the dictatorship.
The situation was made worse by having an equally naive, gullible and utterly useless opposition who led from the front in accepting the removal of Mugabe as all the nation needed.
The nation should have confronted Mnangagwa and his fellow coup plotters with its list of democratic demands to ensure meaningful political change. As it happened, Mnangagwa promised to hold free, fair and credible elections and 8 months after the coup he blatantly rigged the July 2018 elections. And when some people tried to protest, he was ready for them; he gave orders to shoot to kill. 7 people were gunned down in cold blood and several were injured; just to underline that the Zanu PF dictatorship was well and thriving!
Zimbabwe has had a number of golden opportunities to end the Zanu PF dictatorship but the nation has again and again wasted these opportunities because we have not been paying attention to detail. A healthy and functioning democracy demands an informed and diligent electorate and not a naive and gullible one. We have yet to learn the difference and until we do we will continue blundering from pillar to post!
@ Mwembe
“Wilbert Mukori What i know in life if you over emphasise anything no matter how genuine it might be it becomes monotonous and ignored. How many times have pple tried to correct your shallow thinking that Zanu PF will implement reforms. You have been morning about past lost chances clever pple pick themselves and move on not time to be still talking of things that came and went. Your always talking of reforms is so boring like the smell of a drunkard urine. It seems you have no other thing to talk about only reforms which you clearly know will never take place under Zanu PF.”
The trouble with shallow minded people like you Mwembe is you are incapable of comprehending detail and so everything is one confused mass. You cannot facts, reality and truth from opinion, wishful thinking, lies, damned lies.
“You have been mourning about past lost chances, clever pple pick themselves and move on not time to be still talking of things that came and went,” you said.
I take by “past lost chances” you mean chances to implement the democratic reforms. I take is by “clever pple pick themselves and move on not time to be still talking of things that came and went” you mean clever people know they wasted the chance to implement the reforms and have decided to forget the lost chance, forget the reforms and move on. For that is exactly what Chamisa and company have done, they have been participating in the elections starting with the 2013 elections.
What is so clever in participating in elections you know and have been warned repeatedly will be rigged. Chamisa and company having participating in elections knowing that ZEC has failed to produce something as basic and fundamental to free and fair elections as a verified voters’ roll.
The truth is MDC have been participating in these flawed and illegal elections because they also knew that Zanu PF was giving away a few gravy train seats. These they could not resist and did not give a damn that this was bait to justify denying the people their right to free, fair and credible elections.
Of course, MDC leaders have proven to be corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs. Only a village idiot would call some one like that “clever!”
The real tragedy for Zimbabwe is such village idiots have the vote and hence the reason the country has corrupt, incompetent, vote rigging and murderous tyrants in Zanu PF and corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs in the opposition.
Zimbabwe will never get out of the political and economic mess it is in right now until we implement the democratic reforms. I will be calling for the implementing the reform until they are implemented because I want Zimbabwe to get out of the mess. Trust me, I am not going to stop demanding reforms just because a village idiot like you ‘is bored to hear it!’
@ Mwembe
“Try to sober out you will see what the majority see and it is no reforms in Zanu PF' s life time. No time for reforms any more its time to take out Zanu PF from power and only after that can start genuine reforms without impediments from Zanu PF everyone wants reforms not you alone and your timing is very bad and sickening.”
Get this into your thick head:
just because MDC leaders sold-out and failed to implement even one reform when they had the chance to do so does not meaning no one else can.
You are not taking “out Zanu PF from power” by participating in flawed and illegal elections and then make a big song and dance afterwards that the elections were rigged.
We know MDC sell-outs are determined to participate in the coming elections come rain come thunder because they cannot resist the few gravy train Zanu PF is offering.
No stone will be left unturned in making sure the whole world knows MDC are selling out on the cause for free, fair and credible elections. A discredited opposition will not provide much cover for Zanu PF and an illegitimate Zanu PF will find it very difficult to remain in power - the 2008 experience showed that!
@ Matthew
“Turning against each other as pro democracy voices in media is like playing into ZANU's gallery. Unfortunately Mr Tsvangirai is no longer with us, otherwise he would have better response why reforms were not forcibly implemented back then. But bear in mind, Jonathan once said ZANU can not reform itself out of power, these are strong words one can not take slightly and they reveal to any sane person that even if MDC tried to push for reforms ZANU would have evasive ways in commitment. We have people like Thokozani Khuphe and co who used to wore sheep's skin, these probably had undetected influence in reluctant to push for reforms as they held senior positions than Mr Chamisa.”
A healthy and functioning democracy demands that the people should be well informed; hence the need for freedom of expression and a free and independent media; and they must take their responsibility of holding those in power to account very seriously. You clearly are not taking your responsibility to hold leaders to account seriously.
Tsvangirai died in 2018, ten years after the GNU why did he fail to explain why no reforms were implemented? Chamisa, Biti, etc. were all senior MDC leaders in the GNU they must explain why MDC failed to implement even one reform in 5 years!
Of course, Zanu PF would never reform itself out of office, that was the reason why Mugabe was asked to sign the 2008 GPA, agreeing to the implementation of the raft of democratic reforms. You clearly have not understood what the GNU was about, how the reforms were supposed to be implemented, etc. If you really want to know, please google zimbabwelight, one word, you will find many articles on the subject.
So you dismiss Khupe as an empty head in one breath and in the next you accept her as some with great influence for the purpose of blaming her for MDC’s failures! This is just as foolish as Zanu PF thus who dismiss MDC leaders as puppets of the western countries and yet for the purpose of blaming MDC for the sanctions the puppets are now so powerful they are the ones pulling the strings. How pathetic!
A Zimbabwean truck driver who survived an ambush by six gunmen on the N12 highway near Daveyton, on the East Rand, yesterday was just 35km from his destination when the attack happened.
Joseph Chidodo, 45, was transporting a load of frozen chickens form Standerton to Linbro Park in Johannesburg.
This is a nightmare! The only way to end this nightmare is for Zimbabwe to sort out itsbad governance problems so that many of our people can return to Zimbabwe and earn a living.
We have sat on this problem of rigged elections and bad governance for decades and now the chickens are coming home to roost!
@ Mwembe
“Tell us how you intend to remove Zanu PF from power put your plan forward than just waffling about reforms which you have no clue about them. In your foolish head obvious you seem to think reforms are as simple as ABCD. Reforms are hard worked for not wished for and hallucinated about every time as you always do .You have 2 heads that beat the opposition and beat Zanu PF at the end of the day you are not exactly known where you stand. But obvious you are trying to cause confusion as all imps are employed to do but obvious you are wasting your time.”
Zanu PF would be history if MDC had implemented the raft of democratic reforms designed to end the curse of rigged elections. Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends failed to get even one reform implemented because they are corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs. Just because MDC leaders were not up to the task does not mean there are no other Zimbabweans out there who will get the job done. It is not rocket science for Pete’s sake!
MDC have failed to get even one reform implemented and now they want the nation to believe they can bring about meaningful change by participating in flawed and rigged elections. They have done this in 2013 and then 2018 and they failed and they still want to try the same shit in 2023. Only a fool would still believe in this rubbish!
If Zanu PF and their opposition acolytes hold the 2023 elections with no reforms in place the whole elections will be judged null and void and the regime coming out of it will be illegitimate. Even SADC and AU will declare the elections null and void.
