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.
