“CCC and MDC are two different entities so please your arguments have no basis, and it lacks facts. We are in 2023. MDC then was Tsvangirai and ZANU was Mugabe,” complained Jimmy Marunza.
Nelson Chamisa and his CCC friends from MDC Alliance cum
MDC-T rebranded their new political party and called it CCC but we should not
be fooled into believing they are now squeaky clean. During the GNU days they
sold out by failing to implement even one democratic reform even when they had
the golden opportunity to do so.
Worse still, they have since given up on reforms and free
elections since the GNU debacle by participating in the 2013 and then 2018
elections knowing fully well Zanu PF was rigging the elections and doing so
would only give Zanu PF legitimacy. They have done so out of greed; pure and
simple!
“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,” confessed 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.”
CCC are hell bent on participating in these 2023 elections
knowing fully well the whole election process is flawed and that participating
will only give the process some modicum of “credibility”, as Coltart put it,
and thus give vote rigging Zanu PF some modicum of political legitimacy. Once
again, they are participating out of greed.
CCC rebranding is no different from Mnangagwa’s Second
Republic rebranding of Zanu PF. The dictator is demanding of us all not only forget
what Zanu PF has done from 1980 to November 2017; “let bygone by bygones”, he
argued. He too, just like Chamisa and company, is refusing to held to account
for what Zanu PF has done until November 2017 although he has not only a senior
member in the Zanu PF governments throughout those years; he was Mugabe’s
henchman!
The Mugabe dictatorship lasted 37 years because Mnangagwa
played a major role in imposing and retaining the de facto one-party
dictatorship by spearheading the 1983 to 1987 Gukurahundi massacre and carrying
out the blatant rigging of elections. Mnangagwa, by his own admission, was the
principal player in the 2008 election coup that denying MDC the keys to State
House.
Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF cronies promised the Second
Republic will have “zero tolerance on corruption” and will hold free and fair
elections. Corruption is now into overdrive as the ongoing Al Jazeera Gold
Mafia documentary is revealing. The regime blatantly rigged the 2018 elections
and is doing the same now with the 2023 elections.
When Saul had his Damascus moment, he was completely transformed
from the zealot persecuting and murdering believers of Jesus Christ to one of
the most outstanding Christian evangelists of all time. Even if Saul had never
changed his name to Paul his work from that dramatic moment on the road to
Damascus earned him the heavenly acclaim and rightly honoured as a Saint!

Speaking to this reporter Political analyst John Mbizvo said the secret meeting between Masiyiwa and Harris was some smoke whose fire must be closely monitored.
"The meeting that we hear took place in Lusaka between Masiyiwa who is known for funding opposition political parties in Zimbabwe and the United States of America Vice President at a African neighbouring country which is ruled by a political party that is hostile to revolutionary parties must not be treated as child's play.
Bankrolling a credible a credible elections process is one thing but bankrolling flawed elections, so flawed it is clear the opposition are participating to give the vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed is really unforgivable; especially after 43 years of rigged elections. Hell! What will it take for before the penny finally drops that this is insane!
The road to hell is paved with good intentions but after 43 years of rigged elections, in this day and age, it is shocking that we have some people who really don’t even have common sense to know what constitutes free, fair and credible elections. If some one like Strive Masiyiwa has no common sense with all the advantages he has of a good education and exposure to civilization what hope is there of my auntie in the rural back waters knowing that!
The Gold Mafia and their Zanu PF ruling elite are smuggling out US$2 billion 80% of the gold mined in Zimbabwe because they have bribed the Police, CIO, Customs Official, Bank staff, etc. Come elections the same Mafia and Zanu PF team can bribe ZEC, tribal leaders, CIO, the opposition, etc. to ensure a Zanu PF victory and the process has legitimacy. We need to implement democratic reforms before elections. Zanu PF is rigging 2023 elections and we must condemn the process now and not after the elections.

“It was a silly demand, one man one vote does not translate to food on the table, we want economic restoration of the black man not white man's democracy.”
How naïve! Zanu PF has rigged elections since 1980 denying the people the free vote. So if denying the people the vote was the panacea to guarantee development and putting food on the table then why are 49% of our people living in abject poverty today?
Rigging the elections have only allowed Zanu PF to stay in power for 43 years and four decades of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption have left the country in economic ruins. Only an idiot would still think rigged elections are good for the country especially after 43 years of this Zanu PF rule!
