Of Chamisa, Lies and Rhetorics

Buses or Bullet trains at Mbare Musika Terminal
You might have heard of bullet trains, rural airports, tomato or is it potato factories being sold by Nelson Chamisa at MDC rallies. It is all lies and he is like a madman drunk on elections rhetorics. He is not alone.

The white supremacists' media has also been churning their traditional elections rhetoric on social media and other platforms. Here are some in short.

The Voters Intimidation Rhetoric
Voters are said to be forced to go and vote for ZANU Pf. This is one very tired rhetoric which we can trace to the first elections of 1980. ZANU Pf was accused of bussing thousands of voters from within and outside the borders of Zimbabwe.  It was a lie then and it is a lie today.

The Banned Rally Rhetoric
The so-called independent press will be in overdrive on percieved banned rallies.
For the record rallies cannot be banned, you can be denied to hold a rally at a certain time or place due to inadequate security and availability of police to maintain law and order.It is that simple,  so my piece of advice is, book your rally in time.

The Biometric Voters Registration Rhetoric
The opposition and the so-called civic societies are poised to raise doubt and mistrust of the biometric registration system. It is routine rhetoric which is calculated to make the elections not seem to be free and fair.

It is important for every Zimbabwean to understand the source of the rhetoric.The press and the white sponsored civic organisations had the  Biometric Voters Roll issue on the table. They wanted UNDP to fund, source and deliver the Biometric Voters Roll equipment on behalf of the Government of Zimbabwe.

 The Government of Zimbabwe refused to be relegated to a spectator role in the election process. It went on and bought the BVR system, but this was not accepted by the opposition.


The Stupid And Uneducated Rural Voters Rhetoric
The constituencies will be flooded by the pseudo civic societies that will come to teach the "illiterate " people, on, not only how to vote but who to vote for.  The civic societies have been exposed as an extension of the opposition campaign team. Their role is to scuttle and unsettle the ruling party's hold in the constituency.

The Traditional Leadership Partisan Rhetoric
The press once again raising the issue of traditional leaders as political and partisan. The so-called independent media and white sponsored civic organisations have failed to understand, respect and understand the importance and role of the traditional leaders. Traditional leaders are the spiritual owners of the land and rural space.
These traditional leaders offer guidance and leadership to their respective community. The traditional leaders have a role to play spiritual, economic, social and political. It is their sacred duty to the community.
This critical role of traditional leaders has been relegated to the backseat firstly by the former Rhodesian settlers and now by their sponsored opposition parties,  their press and civic organisations.
It will go a long way if these white supremacists sponsored media, opposition parties and civic organisations give the traditional leaders the respect that they deserve. It might be the key to gain respect and voters in the rural areas.

The Zanupf Factions Rhetoric
The Zanupf factions rhetoric is now gone since the demise of G40. The factional wars within the party have not affected the grassroots supporters. I will say safely that the faction may be in the heads of the opposition parties leaders.The factions are played out in the press and on social media,  they are not real.

The Rhetorics And The 2018 Elections

Zimbabweans should now be aware of the sources of the rhetorics and must focus now on the 2018 elections. The elections are a landmark in the history of our nationhood, they are as crucial and critical as the 1980 elections. The enemy is still the Rhodesians. They have metaphorically disguised itself into the MDC in its various forms and with its Shona and Ndebele surnames. It is imperative that every Zimbabwean vote against the white supremacists' regime change agents and instead vote for the progressive and revolutionary party.

The Madness of March

MADNESS IN THE PRESS

Robert Mugabe has all of sudden become a darling of the white supremacist press. Every paper and TV wants to interview him. Robert Mugabe is a great showman and speaker, he likes the limelight on him and he is basking foolishly in it.

Robert Mugabe was a pariah to the western press until the coup,(which was never a coup) in November 2017. Now the BBC, CNN and the other media houses want to hear his perfect Queen's English. All of sudden the hated landgrabber and legendary pain in the neck of every white person is now a star of sorts, that is, to the western media.

The frog has just turned into a Prince.

That is absolute madness.

MDC  MARCH MADNESS

The madness does not end in the press. We have a guy having some serious hallucinations of tomatoes flying from Murehwa to Brussels. This guy has also had dreams of bullet trains rushing and chasing each other from Harare to Plumtree. These juvenile dreams have been seen fit and proper to be announced at rented crowd rallies.

The dreamer wish to lure supporters by his dreams!!!

Our dreamer is none other than the self-imposed MDC alliance leader Mr.Nelson Chamisa.

The dreams are absolute madness!!!


MATABELE MADNESS IN MDC

Thokozani Khupe fired Nelson Chamisa from MDC T. She proceeded to steal the name from Chamisa and company. People are now convinced that the T in MDCT stands for Thokozani. When I say "people" I mean the people in Matabeleland.

 This madness will never end well for the MDC T. It means that the MDC alliance vote is split and the voters are confused. The MDC has rigged the elections in ZANU Pf favour, they have made sure that they lose the elections.\

It is March Madness

MADNESS STOPPED AT THE CONCOURT

The constitutional court has stopped the madness in industry. This Madness was started by none other than Nelson Chamisa when he represented ZUWA Petroleum. Thousands of workers were dismissed without notice or compensation following Chamisa win.

The constitutional court has set aside all the dismissals and ordered employers to compensate all employees unfairly dismissed.

It is madness reversed.

MARRIAGE MADNESS

On a lighter note and as a parting shot. Is marriage a game? This questioned is aimed at the young and the young at heart. Let us look at the Olinda and Tytan marriage......it is the real March Madness.

The Fool of the Month

I rarely write more than two blog posts per month,  but circumstances have forced me to write. I am a fool of the month.  It is still  February remember.  I am not the only

fool of the month,  l think that boy from Chitungwiza can claim that title from me.

NELSON CHAMISA
Look here there are fools but Nelson Chamisa beats them all. He is that guy that just declared himself the President of MDC -T. To this guy, the MDC-T constitution is just a piece of paper. It is just a piece of paper that a boy from Chitungwiza can read upside down and proceed to tear to pieces.
He is the guy or fool that on the very day that the founding President of MDC-T died went on to convene a national council meeting to conveniently confirm himself as the MDC-T president. It is was not only crude and rude gesture but the stupidest thing to happen in February. This guy is a fool!!

WHEN A FOOL LEAD   FOOLS
Nelson Chamisa foolishness did not end at Harvest House. He did the unthinkable. He hired his local hooligans from Harare to cause havoc at the rural home of Morgan Tsvangirai. It was a stupid thing to do.

AN ORGY OR FUNERAL
I have been informed that the funeral of Morgan Tsvangirai turned out to be a fools orgy. It was a February funeral and fool's funeral. What else can you expect from a hired funeral party? If your bus hired prostitutes and ideological empty mercenaries (mahwindi), you will have created a recipe for an orgy.

OBERT GUTU
Here is another fool from the same party. It is surprising that Obert Gutu has never realised that MDC-T party was a violent party. I mean if you remember the Elton Mangoma assault at Harvest House, or the violence in Bulawayo sometime last year.

Can we say the violence against Khupe and Mwonzora in Buhera was Obert Gutu's Damascus moment? It is stupid to assume that Obert Gutu did not know of the subtle violence on all Zimbabweans that the  MDC-T invited sanctions had on this country.

Of Morgan Tsvangirai And Chimurenga

 Lonely and Brave At last

Morgan passed on somewhere in South Africa. He was alone without his wife or mother. he was alone without his not so loyal party members. He was alone without those settler farmers who had created him. He was alone. This was the bravest point in his life where he was really alone and had to fight his fight on his own.


Morgan has always had people propping him up, either as a fulltime politician or as a union activist. It is this weakness the white settler farmers exploited in 1999. He was the perfect puppet, innocent and politically immature.The man made a perfect leader to head a movement that would stop the land redistribution and reverse the gain made by fellow blacks against the white settler farmers. He was anti- Chimurenga and anti-revolutionary. Zimbabwean history has already judged him.

Hero Or Traitor

Morgan was not a self-made man. He was a man who needed a" lot of hand-holding" to borrow that forgotten USA ambassador said in those Wikileaks documents. He was the guy who chickened out of going to fight the Chimurenga. He could not be brave enough to cross the Mozambican border. He could not sacrifice his life to free his motherland.it has been said that he was not brave enough to stand for Member of Parliament in his own home constituency.

It is the paragraph above that tarnishes Morgan bid to lay on the National Heroes Acre, Manicaland Provincial Heroes Acre or Buhera District Heroes Acre. He does not deserve that honour. We should be proud that at least he will be honoured by his family and those who believe he contributed to their lives on a personal level.


 We have here, a man who in his words could fight for property rights for the white settler. He was prepared to sacrifice our lives by inviting sanctions on his motherland. Let us not forget that he was not always alone in his quest to take on a revolution and reverse it. You have to remember people like Ncube, Mangoma Biti, Gutu and of late Chamisa, who hang around him.

Chimurenga Is Forever

 It is important that we as Zimbabweans draw lessons from Morgan life and death. Chimurenga is bigger than all the white settlers purse. It is bigger than one man's ego. It is bigger than all the party that will be formed. It is bigger than one man's name or brand.

Death has to come. It had to happen to all of us, it was only a matter of when. It is our tradition that we mourn with the bereaved but let us not forget the story around Morgan Tsvangirai. The true story.

May his troubled soul rest in peace.

Of Fools,Sanctions and February

Tradition and routine of February calls

We are as Zimbabweans have been accustomed to some routines. This February will be a special one to me and to other political commentators.

It is a month traditional called "mwedzi webenzi" that roughly translates into "the fool's month". In this month all traditions are suspended or ignored. You can even go and work in the fields on the weekly traditional "chisi".

It is the shortest month on the calendar but let us check-out what is going on. 

The Sanctions Renewal Month

The USA ZIDERA  sanctions on Zimbabwe have been routinely been renewed in February since 2001. The sanctions are bound to be renewed again by a fool of a President,  Donald Trump.

It is also good to note that we sent our fools to the USA, in the form of Nelson Chamisa,  Tendai Biti,  Dewah Mavhunga and that diehard Rhodesian Godwin. The four advised the USA not remove the sanctions but to tighten them, despite us having got rid of Robert Gabriel Mugabe.

The result of the treacherous action by those four will be felt after the USA President renew and tighten the sanctions on Zimbabwe. Each and every 14 million Zimbabweans will continue to suffer under those sanctions.

The 21st February Movement
It is official. The 21st of February is now a national holiday.Is it coincident that it is Robert Mugabe's birthday?

The 21st February Movement does still exist somewhere? I think it is a day for our nation and youth to remember Robert Mugabe as a statesman. I believe it is a great honour to his legacy.

We will have to see what the holiday will have in store for us.


The Fools in the Circus Called MDC
It is a fools month and the MDC cannot be seen to be left out. Chamisa has unilaterally declared himself the de facto successor to the ailing Tsvangirai.He is the president of the MDC and the broken coalition. Mudzuri, Khupe and other congress elected leaders have been relegated to the backseat.

This month is going to end up badly for the opposition, we wait to see which fool will lead the MDC and the clueless coalition.

The Fools of the Month

It is a month of the fool. We have people like Chamisa lying that if MDC wins Donald Trump will give Zimbabwe $15 billion dollars. He was talking to people who he believed were fools like him. Let him be the fool he wants to be!!

There was the MDC Alliance playing the fool with their supporters.The alliance will not hold primaries. I believe the ailing MDC leader will draw names of candidates from his hat. Life will never get as foolish as this!
Then we hear that foolish gang called G40 is regrouping. It is hoping to jump on the coalition bandwagon and play the fool. Can a full grown professor be foolish to join a circus and be the chief clown?

 I understand those bicycles bought from the ZIMDEF funds are now in but they have the wrong picture. The Professor was right about the party but he was just on the wrong side of the ZANU Pf coin.

 It is a month of fools.
 Zimbabwe let us wait for the Ides of March.

The Myths of Gukurahundi and Mthwakazi

GUKURAHUNDI THE TRUTH
I had to say something which I know will draw a lot of criticism from some of my friends. Gukurahundi to me was the loss of one of my nephews in Bulawayo.

 He family name was Mwatenga. He was a fluent Ndebele And Zulu speaker and his father's origin tribe is Ndau and his mother's origin was  Swazi. He was not killed by the Fifth Brigade but was killed by people who believed that they were better Ndebeles than him.

 These are the type of Ndebeles that we have on social media. These are the Ndebeles who identify themselves by geographical boundaries. These are those animals that caused the Gukurahundi disturbances in the 80s in the first place. These type of animals will cause another disturbance if they are given a chance to organise and mobilise.

We must not allow tribalism to undermine our nationhood, peace and security.



GUKURAHUNDI THE MYTH
People speak of Gukurahundi as a genocide. It was not.The Matabeleland had been infiltrated by apartheid South Africa sponsored Super Zapu elements.The purpose of Super Zapu was to create a buffer zone in Matabeleland. The people who made up of Super ZAPU were mercenaries on the apartheid SouthAfrica payroll. There were not Ndebeles, but a collection of trained and armed men.

It is wrong to believe that the so-called dissidents were all of Ndebele origin. It is also wrong to believe that only Ndebeles were targeted in the Gukurahundi disturbances, as I have pointed out above, in my nephew's case.




MTHWKAZI THE TRUTH AND THE MYTH
The truth about Mthwakazi, or whatever they call it, is that it exists in the mind of the sick minds of tribalists. You cannot fit it anywhere in Zimbabwe or in southern Africa this Muthwakazi.It does not even have historical proof that it ever existed outside the mind of the psychotic mind of the Ndebele tribalist.

I challenge the tribalists to place the so-called Muthwakazi in between Mapungubwe and Zimbabwe.It is a madman exercise to create a country in his mind and then wish the whole world to live and believe his madness.

GUKURAHUNDI AND NOW
It is a  grave mistake to sell Gukurahundi and Mthwakazi cards to the opposition parties supporters.People of Zimbabwe are aware of the intention and origin of the lies on Gukurahundi and Mthwakazi. Gukurahundi was not a genocide and Mthwakazi does not exist.

Let the truth be told.

The Fall of an elected dictator

RUNAWAY TRAIN

I can safely say this country was like a runaway train. Yes Zimbabwe, with Robert Mugabe in charge, was a train that had suddenly gone loose. No controls, no one in charge. 

We were on a runaway train until the palace coup.The interface rallies were like adding fuel to a runaway train. Something had to give!! The soldiers brought the runaway train to a screeching halt.

THE COUP AND THE CRIMINALS

The criminals around the former president of Zimbabwe were the target of the so-called palace coup. The criminals were the gang that had been elected and mandated to represent the people of Zimbabwe in parliament.

 These criminals had assumed superpowers. They were literally unstoppable and rude. The ruling party had been hijacked. Ethics and principles were thrown out of the window.


IT IS A ZANU THING


I will always take the coup (which technical was not a coup) as a political manoeuvre. It was a process of reinventing ZANU-PF as a revolutionary party. The executive arm of government had to rearrange and recall the party leadership in order assert and reinforce the founding principles of Chimurenga. The principles and ideology had been hijacked by a cabal of wayward individuals within the ruling party. It was the brave and bold move by people in the rank and file of Zanupf.

REASONS FOR THE CELEBRATION 

The people were celebrating the ouster of Robert Mugabe for very different reasons. The reasons for the coup was lost in the noise and colour of the crowds. Some were celebrating for a return to Rhodesia, some were celebrating the fall of Grace, some were celebrating the fall of an elected dictator and some just wanted to shake the hands of the soldiers. It was a crazy crowd.

The army reassured the sober people in the crowd that the purpose of the palace coup was to restore the liberation struggle legacy. The reason for the coup was to bring order to the ruling party and nothing else!!

ZANU PF ON THE ROLL
 

The coup has not only given ZANU-PF a new leadership, it has given the party a new impetus. The opposition is afraid of losing the next elections. The coup did not work in favour of the opposition. The opposition and the Rhodesian settlers elements had anticipated chaos in ZANU-PF after the unceremonious departure of Robert Mugabe. It did not happen, this has not gone down well with the opposition.

We have people churning out the tribal card on Gukurahundi. We have people in the opposition going to the USA and EU calling for an extension of sanctions against Zimbabwe. We have people labelling and denigrating a sitting president. It is the usual election rhetoric, which does not win elections and the respect of the people of Zimbabwe. for the opposition.

The people of Zimbabwe are tired of the rhetoric from the opposition, can the opposition concentrate on winning elections. Can it stop complaining and start campaigning? The people have had enough over the years.

Asante sane!!!
