Stopping MDC implementing even one reform in 5 GNU years is one of the greatest Tom Sawyer trick ever. W Mukori

Zimbabweans love to boast, at least until a few years ago, that they are one of the most literate nations in Africa. In this case, the definition of literate as some one who can read and write needed to be revised, as far I am concerned, to include “and understand what read and written”. 

If Zimbabweans understood what they read then they would not be so naive and gullible and the country would not be in such an economic and political mess! How is it possible that we have fallen prey Tom Sawyer’s tricks, not once, not twice but multiple times; for a literate nation. 

“Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit. Thirty yards of board fence nine feet high. Life to him seemed hollow, and existence but a burden.” wrote Mark Twain in  The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. 

“ . . . . . At this dark and hopeless moment an inspiration burst upon him! Nothing less than a great, magnificent inspiration.

“He took up his brush and went tranquilly to work. Ben Rogers hove in sight presently – the very boy, of all boys, whose ridicule he had been dreading. . . . .

“Tom went on whitewashing – paid no attention to the steamboat. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hi- yi ! You’re up a stump, ain’t you!”

“No answer. Tom surveyed his last touch with the eye of an artist, then he gave his brush another gentle sweep and surveyed the result, as before. Ben ranged up alongside of him. Tom’s mouth watered for the apple, but he stuck to his work. Ben said:

“Hello, old chap, you got to work, hey?”

“Tom wheeled suddenly and said:

“Why, it’s you, Ben! I warn’t noticing.”

“Say – I’m going in a-swimming, I am. Don’t you wish you could? But of course you’d druther work – wouldn’t you? Course you would!”

Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and said:

“What do you call work?”

“Why, ain’t that work?”

Tom resumed his whitewashing, and answered carelessly:

“Well, maybe it is, and maybe it ain’t. All I know, is, it suits Tom Sawyer.”

“Oh come, now, you don’t mean to let on that you like it?”

The brush continued to move.

“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”

That put the thing in a new light. Ben stopped nibbling his apple. Tom swept his brush daintily back and forth – stepped back to note the effect – added a touch here and there – criticised the effect again – Ben watching every move and getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed. Presently he said:

“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”

Tom considered, was about to consent; but he altered his mind:

“No – no – I reckon it wouldn’t hardly do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly’s awful particular about this fence – right here on the street, you know – but if it was the back fence I wouldn’t mind and she wouldn’t. Yes, she’s awful particular about this fence; it’s got to be done very careful; I reckon there ain’t one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it the way it’s got to be done.”

“No – is that so? Oh come, now – lemme, just try. Only just a little – I’d let you, if you was me, Tom.”

“Ben, I’d like to, honest injun; but Aunt Polly – well, Jim wanted to do it, but she wouldn’t let him; Sid wanted to do it, and she wouldn’t let Sid. Now don’t you see how I’m fixed? If you was to tackle this fence and anything was to happen to it – ”

“Oh, shucks, I’ll be just as careful. Now lemme try. Say – I’ll give you the core of my apple.”

“Well, here – No, Ben, now don’t. I’m afeard – ”

“I’ll give you all of it!”

Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart.”

Beautiful! Genius!

Robert Mugabe pull-off the same dirty Tom Sawyer trick with Morgan and his MDC friends. The primary task of the GNU was to implement the democratic reforms and stop Zanu PF rigging elections. Mugabe’s challenge was to distract Tsvangirai and his 2 Deputy Prime Ministers 30 or so MDC Ministers and over 150 MPs and Senators so they forget implementing the reforms. Distract then not just for a day or a month but for five years. He pulled it off! 

MDC leaders failed to implement even one token reform in five years of the GNU. 

Implementing the reforms was Zimbabwe’s get-out-of-jail card and MDC failed to play it. 

“Mazivanhu eMDC adzidza kudya anyerere!” (MDC leaders have learned to enjoy the gravy train good-life, they will not rock the boat!) boasted Zanu PF cronies during the GNU why MDC was not implementing the reforms. 

Tsvangirai and company were convinced they were now fully paid up members of Zimbabwe’s ruling elite with a life-time seat on the gravy train. They had a very rude awakening the morning after the July 2013 elections when Zanu PF had a landslide victory and it was back the ghetto for most of the MDC leaders. 

Ever since the lost golden opportunity to implement the democratic reforms MDC/CCC leaders have given up on getting even token reforms implemented and focus their attention on participating in the flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and win the few gravy train seats Zanu PF offers as bait. 

Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC/CCC friends have got away, so far at least, with the blatant betrayal of the people on reforms and the participation on flawed elections because the people themselves as just as ignorant and gullible as the MDC leaders. It is no secret that even to this day the likes of Nelson Chamisa has no clue what the democratic reforms are much less how they are to be implemented. This is why he still talks on reforms even now with just a few months before voting day. 

The Zimbabwean voters are so gullible many of them believe in the oxymoronic nonsense of CCC has strategies to win rigged elections. Not just an elections but elections “so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step was to withdraw”, David Coltart, one of very few MDC/CCC with some, not much, grey stuff between his ears. 

After 43 years of rigged elections and with the nation in deep, deep trouble because of the decades of corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF rule, one has to be insane to forfeit one’s right to a meaningful vote in pursuit of winning rigged elections. 

So, now Zanu PF has the right to rig elections!!!!

Hwange Unit 8, 300 MW, added to system. It's 43 years overdue, what's there to celebrate! W Mukori

 “Hwange Thermal Power Station's Unit 8 is expected to be synchronised with the grid on Tuesday, and will progressively add another 300 megawatts that will boost supplies to both domestic and industrial consumers.” Announced The Herald on Twitter with the usual fanfare, song and dance!

For the record, this Zanu PF regime received the feasibility studies for Hwange Unit 7 and 8 and Batoka Gorge Hydro in 1980! It has taken 43 years to complete Hwange Unit 7 and 8 and God knows how long it is going to take to build the dam. 

These projects, like so many other projects up and down the country, should have been completed years ago. Zimbabwe has the resources but has the misfortune of corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical leaders whose priorities is the glory of Caesar at the expense of the good of Rome. 

Corruption has been rampant. Grace Mugabe alone has reportedly salted away US$5 billion, enough to pay for the two power projects. 

When Mnangagwa took over from the late dictator Mugabe, he promised the Second Republic will stamp out corruption. The country is losing US$1.6 billion to gold smugglers every year and, according to the recent Al Jazeera documentary Gold Mafia, he is the godfather behind the looting.

Hwange Unit 7 and 8 are long overdue and there is precious little to celebrate. The last 43 years since independence have been a disaster for Zimbabwe and there is a crying need to end to this failed system of government.

Zanu PF is rigging the 2023 elections to extend the regime’s stay in power by another five years. It is too late  to get any meaningful reforms implement and too late to stop the regime going ahead with the flawed elections. 

CCC and many in opposition camp are hell bent on participating in these flawed elections out of greed as David Coltart, CCC Treasurer General confessed.

“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.”

We cannot stop Zanu PF rigging the 2023 elections nor  stop CCC participating out of greed. 

However what we can do is to make sure everyone, absolutely everyone, especially SADC leaders know that these elections are flawed. How can the elections be judged free and fair when there is no verified voters’ roll, rural voters are frogmarched to vote, 3 million in the diaspora are denied the vote, etc., etc.? 

SADC leaders know that Zimbabwe cannot hold free and fair elections without first implementing the democratic reforms. After all it was the regional body that helped set up the 2008 to 2013 GNU whose primary task was to implement the reforms.

Sadly, Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends who were given the responsibility to implement the reforms sold out. Mugabe bribe the MDC leaders with trappings of power and the rest was history. 

SADC leaders advised MDC leaders not to participate in the 2013 elections without implementing reforms, a last minute chance for Tsvangirai and company to redeem themselves. They ignored the advice. There is no greater  fool than one whose eyes are glazing with greed! 

“MDC leaders were busy enjoying themselves during the GNU and the forgot what they were there for!” commented one SADC diplomat in disgust. 

SADC leaders have condoned the rigged 2013 and 2018 elections and granted the vote rigging Zanu PF political legitimacy in despair and disgust at MDC leaders’ betrayal. 

What the regional leaders have failed to appreciate is in punishing MDC leaders they have punished the ordinary Zimbabweans too who bear the brand of four decades of corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship. This concept of collective punishment is abhorrent and diabolical!

We are asking SADC leaders to judge whether the 2023 Zimbabwe elections are free, fair and credible on the basis of the evidence on the ground. Nothing more, nothing less. Surely, that is not too much to ask! 

"2023 election is already rigged, CCC must participate regardless!" Chin'ono is advising. He is demented! W Mukori

 Be warned Zimbabweans! Hopewell Chin’ono has taken leave of his senses. There is nothing more disconcerting and dangerous that an intellectual who has lost his marbles. Chin’ono must have lost all his marbles!

 

“There is one problem for the opposition, there is NO voters roll,” he posted on Twitter, commenting on the upcoming 2023 elections.

“An election is a voters roll, polling agents and resources. Without a Voters Roll, the election is already rigged.

“However the opposition should participate regardless.

“As Professor Steven Levitsky says in his book, How Democracies Die, opposition parties should always compete regardless of the electoral conditions.”

I don’t care who Professor Steven Levitsky, this is nonsense because it flies in the face of logic. What is the point of having rules to ensure elections are free, fair and credible if all the parties involved can disregard the laws and suffer no consequences?

For Zanu PF, the ultimate censor for failing to hold free and fair elections would be to deny the party political legitimacy. This is exactly what happened in 2008 when SADC and AU, for once, refused to grant Mugabe and his cronies legitimacy because of the blatant cheating and wanton violence in the 2008 elections.

The primary purpose of the 2008 to 2013 GNU was to implement the democratic reforms to stop the repeat of the blatant cheating and wanton violence of 2008. Alas! Not even one token reform was implemented in five years of the GNU. Not one! Why?

Mugabe bribed Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends with the trappings of high office: very generous salaries and allowances, E-class Mercedes Benz limos for the ministers, a US$4 million mansion for Tsvangirai, etc., etc. And to show their appreciation, MDC leaders throw reforms out of the window. There you are, Mugabe had his own ready made bogus opposition. 

Tsvangirai and his MDC friends lost all political credibility when they failed to implement even one reform during the GNU. It was Zimbabwe’s get-out-of-jail card and they wasted because of greed and breath-taking incompetence. They have compounded the problem by participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy for the same reasons - greed and breath-taking incompetence.

“If they (opposition) don’t (participate), dictatorships will always have bogus opposition leaders like Douglas Mwonzora to use in order to create a false image of opposition politics,” continued the half-shilling Chin’ono. 

Mwonzora played his part in the selling out on reforms and participating in flawed elections out of greed but so too did all the other leaders like Chamisa, Coltart and Biti. All MDC leaders who casted off their MDC regalia for the CCC regalia have been cleansed of MDC treasonous betrayals. How naive! Does a cobra seize being a deadly snake just because it has shed off its old skin?

“The trick is in getting as many people registered to vote to make rigging harder,” continued the demented Chin’ono.

This is just giving credence to a rat race in which there can only be one winner - the regime. ZEC has raised the bar to voter registration for the opposition supporters, they harder they have tried to register the higher the bar has been raised. 

In his book, David Coltart admitted the sheer madness of participating in flawed 2013 elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy. More significantly, he explained why he and his MDC friends participated then and have been doing so ever since - greed. 

“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.”

The very notion of “winning rigged elections” is an oxymoronic nonsense granting Zanu PF carte blanche powers to rig elections. And the people’s democratic right to free elections is reduced to the Herculean task of wrestling power from the regime. after another. Zanu PF does not have the right to rig elections and never did and to suggest otherwise is an outrage.

“Your vote matters, use it!” Yeah right! Tell that to the millions of rural voters corralled and frogmarched to vote for Zanu PF. 

Even after 43 years of the mafiosi Zanu PF rigging elections we still don’t have the common sense to realise the insanity participating flawed to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating our own suffering. 

What will it take for us to finally realise we are not going to get out of this economic and political mess without  implementing the democratic reforms? What will it take to end this insanity of participating in flawed elections!!!!

"Want change? Register to vote!" insist CCC. Mother of nightmare - answer was and still is first stop rigging. W Mukori

 “If you sleep curled up like a foetus, you will always turn a bad dream into a nightmare!” my late mother, may her soul rest in peace, would patiently explain. 

“If you sleep with your legs stretched out, you can run away from the danger of a bad dream. When you are in the foetus position, you will feel confined, trapped and helpless; hence the nightmare!”

Ever since Zimbabwe’s independence in 1980, 43 years ago, the country has stead but relentless path of economic, social and political decline. Self inflicted because it is all man-made. Four decades of this corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship have left the nation in economic ruins. A bad dream, you might say.

What has turned the bad dream into a nightmare is that Zanu PF has carte blanche powers to rig elections and so we are stuck with the regime! 

It too twenty years for the nation to realised as long as Zanu PF retained the carte blanche powers to rig elections the regime will remain in power and the rot will continue. The solution was to implement the democratic reforms designed to give back the people their freedoms and rights including the power to have a meaningful say in the governance of the country. 

The people have risked life and limb from the tyrannical Zanu PF to elect MDC/CCC leaders into power on the understanding they would implement the democratic reforms the nation was dying for, literally. 

Alas! After 23 years MDC/CCC leaders have not implemented even one token reform, even when they had the golden opportunity to do so during the 2008 to 2013 GNU. Worse still MDC/CCC have completely abandoned the need to implement reforms and are now participating in the flawed elections under the guess the party has “winning in rigged elections” strategies.

“PROBLEM

The prices of essentials goods are increasing at an alarming rate ……. 

SOLUTION

Did you know that by registering to vote and participating in the upcoming elections, you have the power to change this dire situation?

Register to vote!”

Proclaimed one of the CCC posters!

Talk of being trapped, of being stuck. We are trapped. We are stuck!

We are being told for the umpteenth time that registering to vote is a solution and yet we already known that it is not.

Chamisa and company announced mass voter registration, mass voting and protecting the vote as their  flagship 2023 elections strategy. Their target was to register 6 million new voters. 

ZEC announced that only 1/4 million people had registered as of 30 May 2022. So CCC only managed to register 4% of their own 6 million target in the last four years and we are to believe they will a lot better in the fifth year. The whole strategy of mass voter registration, etc. is DEAD in the water. 

Even if the voter registration exercise was a great success, Zanu PF thugs still managed to impose themselves after the March 2008 vote when Tsvangirai had garnered 73% of the votes. 

The 2008 elections were a water shed in that Zanu PF showed its carte blanche vote rigging powers. 

Of course, Nelson Chamisa and company know that, without reforms, the people of Zimbabwe will never ever have a meaningful say in the governance of the country. MDC/CCC are playing their party in helping Zanu PF deny the people their right by selling out on reforms and by participating in the flawed process to give Zanu PF legitimacy. They are doing it for a share of the spoils of power. 

CCC are chaining out these posters promoting voter registration and other “winning in rigged election” strategies, knowing fully well that none of them work. The are a cover to hide the real reasons why the party is hell bent on participating - greed and breath-taking incompetence.

So ours is a double whammy, we are not only stuck with Zanu PF but stuck with MDC/CCC too. The nation risked everything to elect Chamisa and company to implement reforms to end the Zanu PF dictatorship. Not even one token reform was implement and worst of all CCC are now giving Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating the dictatorship. 

Zanu PF is rigging the 2023 elections. CCC are participating to give the regime legitimacy out of greed. We are going round and round in circles. After 43 years of independence and we are failing to do something as basic as produce a verified voters’ roll and hold free elections.

Talk of a nightmare, we Zimbabweans must be curled up, so much so we have our heads on our knees; not even Quasimodo, Hunchback of Notre-Dame, could bend double that far; hence the reason we are having the mother of all nightmares. We are well and truly trapped. We are well and truly stuck! 

"Don't tell people elections are flawed!" argue CCC. But they ARE, hence demand for reforms b4 elections! W Mukori

 The debate on whether to participate in these flawed election, “so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step is to withdraw,” is reaching a crescendo.

“Many people that have lost their lives would still be alive if we didn’t have sellouts and turncoats like you, Wilbert Mukori,” argued Mambo Svosve, CCC’s pointer man in North America. 

“This struggle would have been over years ago. You are one of the many people that have been deployed by Zanu PF to tell people elections don’t work. Subliminally you are discouraging people to register to vote. We see you!!!”

MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one democratic reform to ensure free, fair and credible elections even when they had the golden opportunity to do so during the 2008 to 2013 GNU because they are greedy and breathtakingly incompetent. They are hell bent on participating in these elections for the same reasons - greed and incompetence. 

Over the years, MDC/CCC have come up with all manner of excuses to justify their failure to implement even one reform and their participating to give Zanu PF legitimacy. Excuses to hide their greed and incompetence.

Yes, Zimbabwe would have held her first ever free and fair elections in 2013, at the latest, if MDC had implemented the democratic reforms, the primary task of the GNU. Instead of admitting the party sold-out, I Wilbert Mukori, is being blamed for prolonging the struggle. I have blamed MDC leaders for selling out and the party is hitting back by blaming me for their greed and incompetence. 

If elections are not free, fair and credible, “so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step was to withdraw,” as David Coltart admitted in his book referring the 2013 elections; it is self evident Zimbabwe’s election process is NOT working. I do not need to be deployed by Zanu PF or anyone, to say that!

Indeed, what is in Zanu PF’s interest is to say the rigged elections ARE working, get people to participate to give the regime legitimacy. So it you, Mambo Svosve, who is either a greed sell-out deployed by Zanu PF or, if you are saying rigged elections are working out of your own convolution, you are just another greed and stupid opposition leader/supporter.

With no meaningful reforms in place, Zanu PF is set to rig and win the 2023 elections. Chamisa and company will cry foul and accuse Zanu PF of rigging the elections for once accepting the elections process is not free, fair and credible - the very thing they are denying. 

Chamisa and company will also blame the ordinary Zimbabweans for failing to register and vote in their numbers and then to protect the vote. Of course, it is infuriating that these sell outs should have chutzpah to blame ordinary Zimbabweans, the victims of their treasonous betrayal, to hide their greed and incompetence. 

The EU has send an advance team to assess whether or not Zimbabwe can have free and fair elections in the present environment. SADC leaders did not think it was possible and they wanted the 2013 elections postponed until reforms were implemented. Both Zanu PF and MDC leaders ignored the advice. Let’s see what the EU team says about Zimbabwe’s election process.

If the EU find the current election process is flawed, “so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step is to withdraw”; just as SADC did in 2013. No doubt Zanu PF would want the elections to go ahead regardless on the pretext the process is free, fair and credible “to African standards!” CCC will participate in the elections regardless on the pretext the EU was “deployed by Zanu PF to tell people elections don’t work!”

If there is one thing Zimbabwe needs to do to get out of the economic and political mess the nation has been stuck in these last 43 years, that one thing is to implement the democratic reforms to ensure free, fair and credible elections. SADC leader gave the nation the golden opportunity to implement the reforms during the 2008 to 2013 GNU. We wasted the opportunity. 

The EU is going to give us another bite of the cherry, we must make this second chance count. 

It would be unforgivable if we wasted yet another chance to implement the democratic reforms because we listened to people like Mambo Svosve who are insisting we don’t need reforms because Zimbabwe’s election system is working! How can a system in which voters are corralled like cattle and frogmarched to vote be judged a democratic free and fair election! Enough of this midsummer madness!

The 2008 elections were a watershed, they showed the depth and extend of Zanu PF’s carte blanche dictatorial powers were such the country cannot have meaningful elections without implementing reforms to end these powers. The sooner we admitted this the sooner we can implement the reforms and get back on track. 

Burying our heads in the sand and pretending we devise strategies to win rigged elections is an MDC/CCC excuse to hide their greed and incompetence. It will be insane for the nation to fall for this oxymoronic nonsense especially now after 43 years of rigged elections!

Of course, it is nauseating that 43 years after independence, in this day and age, some one still has no clue what constitute free, fair and credible elections. It is even worse when the ignorant fool is in a position of power and authority! 

"Never go to bed with Zanu PF. It's dangerous!" After 5 GNU years, Chamisa knows just how dangerous! W Mukori

 “The Constitutional Court on Monday threw out the MDC leader’s application seeking nullification of the delimitation report and a delay of the elections set for July,” reported Bulawayo 24.

“Mwonzora said the report gazetted in February was flawed and created room for a rigged election.”

The truth is this is a political circus of clowns who are not funny but are always dragging the nation deeper and deeper into the abyss of poverty and hopelessness. 

Douglas Mwonzora challenged the delimitation report because it “was flawed and created room for a rigged election”! Any one with half a brain will tell you Zanu PF rigged the 2013 and 2018 elections using the same 2007 delimitation report which, one assumes, Mwonzora approved. Proof there is a lot more to the country’s rigged elections than the delimitation report.

Indeed, the delimitation report is but a trivial matter. The report is supposed to be based on national censor and the verified voters’ roll. ZEC has never ever produced a verified voters’ roll in the nation’s 43 years since independence. 

Team Pachedu have shown that the voters’ roll is one shambolic mess. They have found cases of twenty registered voters all living at two roomed house. Voters being transferred from one ward to another and sometime to a constituency hundreds of kilometres away without the voter’s knowledge, etc.

How a nation can hope to hold free, fair and credible elections without something as basic as a verified voters’ roll beggars belief! 

Yet, surprise, surprise! Zimbabwe’s opposition have participated in these elections knowing fully well there was no verified voters’ roll, etc. and Zanu PF was rigging the elections. The opposition knew that Zanu PF was giving away a few gravy train seats as bait - bait they found totally irresistible. 

It was for the same reasons - greed and breathtaking incompetence — that the MDC leaders have failed to implement even one meaningful democratic reforms in 23 years, 5 of which in the GNU. 

There is no hope of Zimbabwe ever holding free and fair elections without first implementing the democratic reforms to guarantee the independence of state institutions like the Police, ZEC, etc. Only an independent ZEC can be trusted to produce a verified voters’ roll and to deliver free and fair elections.

To be blunt, it was not Douglas Mwonzora alone who sold out by failing to implement even one token reform and has been selling out by participating in these flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy. Nelson Chamisa, Tendai Biti, David Coltart, the late Morgan Tsvangirai, etc. are all equally guilt of selling for the nation for 30 pieces of silver.

“Never never go to bed with Zpf. It’s dangerous! Maybe just go to dinner but then use a very long spoon. Otherwise, it will end in tears! #fakapressure”. Tweeted Nelson Chamisa, responding to the report the Constitution Court had thrown out Mwonzora’s delimitation report challenge.

Considering Chamisa and Mwonzora were both senior MDC leaders throughout the GNU right up to 2020. MDC failed to implement even one reform during the GNU precisely because the MDC leaders had gone to bed with Zanu PF. So Chamisa should have tweeted “Never never go to bed with Zanu PF, AGAIN!” 

Chamisa and his CCC friends are participating in these 2023 elections knowing fully well there is no verified voters’ roll and Zanu PF is rigging the elections and that participating will give the regime legitimacy. They are fighting Mwonzora over the few gravy train seats on offer as bait. 

Chamisa and his CCC friends are happy wining and dinning with Zanu PF because they have their long spoon!
