Of Presidential Jokes, Colonial yoke and the Corona Virus

CORONA VIRUS
The infamous COVID19 virus final arrived in March. I mean official. The virus unofficial arrived in December 2019 according to the opposition party and the so-called independent media. It was time for the opposition to blame the government on inaccurate statistics, a collapsed health system and inadequate preparations.
When the virus final arrived on March 16 the opposition and the independent media celebrated. That is the type of Opposition parties that we have in Zimbabwe. Opposition leaders who celebrate the demise of their nation.

THE COLD MORTUARY JOKE
The mortuaries of this world are supposed to be cold, the newer the mortuary the colder!! That was the centre of the Presidential Joke of the month. It is only the so-called independent media that had a field day twisting the joke and the opposition MDC alliance hanging on to the twist.

THE CHIMANIMANI BY-ELECTIONS
The ZIDERA sanctions were routinely renewed in February as has been the norm since 2002. The purpose of the sanctions was to alienate the people of Zimbabwe from ZANU-PF and the land reform program. The Chimanimani by-election done in March is direct defiance and a slap in the face for the opposition MDC alliance.  It was 1587 ZANU-PF members voting against a paltry 227 MDC alliance voters. The sanctions will not work!!

THE LAND ISSUE AND THE COLONIAL YOKE

The opposition in their quest to be the champion of land reform is selling the idea that the Rhodesian settlers are now being allowed to repossess their farms with the assistance of the Government of Zimbabwe.

The Ministry of Land has come up with Statutory Instrument 62 of 2020 which clearly debunk that notion. The statutory instrument is clear....the land reform program is not reversible. We will never wear the colonial yoke on our black necks.

Zimbabwe will never be a colony again!!

The Machete Gangs and the white supremacists Conspiracy

The story of the Mashurugwis can not be told without mentioning the Anglo American Corporation, the Oppenheimer, USA, the Serbian national Srdja Popovic and head of CANVAS and the MDC Alliance leadership. This regime change grouping has been working closely with USA embassy staff in Harare under the guise of USAID.

SRDJA Popovic, the leader of CANVAS came up with the Mashurugwi formula as all have failed in removing ZANU Pf from power. The MDC activists who have attended those secretive workshop sponsored by the George Soros Foundation are at the core of the machete gangs. George Soros Foundation is publicly known as a sponsor of liberal movements but is a white supremacist organisation. The foundation has been funding non-governmental organisation in Zimbabwe via USAID.



THE MDC HAND BEHIND THE GANGS
The MDC alliance top leadership are the key link of the Mashurugwi project. Youths who have been selected to attend CANVAS workshops within and without the country are directly organising the Mashurugwi gangs. Nelson Chamisa has also has been attending similar workshops in the Netherlands and recently in South Africa.

The USA's HAND and USAID
A few months back a suspicious container arrived from Morocco from a Metalwork company called Sonasid it was classified as USA diplomatic goods. Its believed it contained large quantities of Machetes now being distributed to Mashurugwi thugs hell-bent in inducing civil war. The machetes I strongly believe are being distributed through USAID network offices throughout the country.

Sonasid Metalwork of Morocco has a history of providing Machetes starting from the Rwanda genocide to the Janjaweed of Sudan. In all the conflicts the USA sought to protect its interests.

ANGLO AMERICAN CORPORATION LINK
It is not crazy to link the AAC to the Mashurugwi story. AAC which is a successor of the British South African Company founded by Rhodes. The BSAC then latter broke into De Beers and AAC which were once owned directly by the Oppenheimer family of South Africa. The Oppenheimer still own AAC indirectly through various investment vehicles.


A few months ago Nelson Chamisa attended a workshop funded by the Brenthurst Foundation which is an AAC baby. The objective of the foundation is to push for regime change in the guise of good governance. The foundation raw objective is the recolonisation of Africa via white supremacists resource grabbing multinationals.

My point is the Machete gangs are attacking all major forex earning areas which have gold and diamond. CANVAS, Brenthurst Foundation, the MDC Alliance and their masters are hoping for maximum chaos in the country to create a civil war. The aim and role of the AAC are to reclaim their resource grip in Zimbabwe and they have indirectly been training and arming the so-called Mashurugwi.

It is up to our security and intelligence agencies to read through the intention of our enemies. Can the State stand and watch as these foreign-sponsored terror organisations cause chaos?.

The illegitimate leader of an illegitimate party

The Gweru illegal midnight congress was held after Nelson Chamisa dribbled past a High Court order, by lodging a last-minute appeal. It was expected, as always,  that Nelson Chamisa would hold the sham Congress.

What the ordinary Zimbabwean is seeing in Nelson Chamisa is a person who not only defies the courts of the land, but a leader who likes a thief has held both the nominations process and the Congress in the darkness of the night.

It is obvious that by cheating his way to the presidency of his own unknown party, a party without a constitution and declaring himself President, he has taken his own illegitimacy to the next level. The level of illegitimacy which Nelson Chamisa has propelled himself has reached a comical, if not childish level.

Politicians like those in MDC forget that they are begging the people to enter government for five years. Politicians will temporarily form the third arm of government(legislature), while as the judiciary and executive are the permanent arms. There is a complete disrespect for both the government and the State by MDC Alliance.

Governments are elected every five years, while as the appointment to State Institutions including the Judiciary is for up to 65 years. These civil servants in the Executive and Judiciary are the permanent face of Government. Civil servants represent the State and ensure continuity of govern functions. The government can run without the Legislature or your local politicians, but it can not function without civil servants.

Nelson Chamisa and company have chosen to ignore the above fact. The technocrats, securocrats and bureaucrats that man State institutions are the gatekeepers. It is these State institutions that the opposition has continued to disrespect and insult. Disrespecting state institutions is a sure sign of illegitimacy and it is illegal too.

I have two questions for Nelson Chamisa. Can you lead a party without the support of the common people, without the support of the civil service and the support of your own party grassroots membership?

Can unelected leader without a party become a legitimate President of the Republic of Zimbabwe?


Zimbabweans I rest my case!!!

A Closer look at ZIDERA sanctions

SANCTIONS AGAINST PERSONS CONTRIBUTING TO THE CONFLICT IN ZIMBABWE

This document is explanatory only and does not have the force of law. Executive
Orders 13288, 13391, 13469, applicable laws and the implementing regulations
pertaining to Zimbabwe (31 C.F.R. Part 541) contain the legally binding
provisions governing the sanctions.  This document does not supplement or modify
the Executive orders or the regulations.

I. INTRODUCTION

The Zimbabwe sanctions program implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets
Control (“OFAC”) began on March 7, 2003, when the President issued Executive
Order (“E.O.”) 13288.  E.O. 13288 imposed sanctions against specifically
identified individuals and entities in Zimbabwe, as a result of the actions and
policies of certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons
undermining democratic institutions or processes in Zimbabwe.  Following E.O.
13288, in response to the continued undermining of democratic institutions, the
President issued two subsequent Executive orders that expanded the list of
sanctions targets to include immediate family members of any person whose
property and interests in property are blocked as well as those persons
providing assistance to any such individual.

II. OVERVIEW OF AUTHORITIES

On March 6, 2003, the President signed E.O. E.O. 13288, declaring a national
emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. foreign
policy posed by the situation in or in relation to Zimbabwe, which included
widespread violence that threatened regional stability.  E.O. 13288 was issued
pursuant to, inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq.) (“IEEPA”) and the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. §§
1601 et seq.) (“NEA”).  This E.O. included an annex designating approximately 80
individuals.

On July 29, 2004, OFAC issued the Zimbabwe Sanctions Regulations (the
“Regulations”) to implement E.O. 13288.  See 31 C.F.R. Part 541.

On November 22, 2005, the President signed E.O. 13391 pursuant to, inter alia,
IEEPA and the NEA to take additional steps with respect to the continued actions
and policies of certain persons who were undermining democratic processes in
Zimbabwe.  E.O. 13391 significantly expanded the designation criteria.  It also
replaced and superseded the annex to E.O. 13288 in its entirety and added
approximately 80 new annex names.  The new E.O. targets persons undermining
Zimbabwe’s democratic processes or institutions, as well as material supporters
and immediate family members of Special Designated Nationals (“SDNs”) under the
Zimbabwe program.

On July 25, 2008, the President issued E.O. 13469 pursuant to, inter alia, IEEPA
and the NEA, in response to the continued actions and policies by the Government
of Zimbabwe and others to undermine Zimbabwe’s democratic processes or
institutions, as manifested in the fundamentally undemocratic election held on
June 27, 2008, and acts of violence and other human rights abuses against
political opponents.  E.O. 13469 added new designation criteria to target senior
officials of the Government of Zimbabwe, entities owned or controlled by the
Government of Zimbabwe, human rights abuses related to political repression and
public corruption by senior officials of the Government.

Current Zimbabwe sanctions block the property and interests in property of
individuals and entities listed in the Annex to E.O. 13391 or that are
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with the Secretary
of State to:

• Be a senior official of the Government of Zimbabwe;

• Be owned or controlled by, directly or indirectly, the Government of Zimbabwe
or an official or officials of the Government of Zimbabwe;

• Have engaged in actions or policies to undermine Zimbabwe’s democratic
processes or institutions;

• Be responsible for, or have participated in, human rights abuses related to
political repression in Zimbabwe;

• Be engaged in, or have engaged in, activities facilitating public corruption
by senior officials of the Government of Zimbabwe;

• Be a spouse or dependent child of any person whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to E.O.s 13288, 13391, or 13469, or an immediate
family member of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked
pursuant to E.O. 13391;

• Have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material,
logistical, or technological support to the Government of Zimbabwe, any senior
official or any person blocked pursuant to E.O.s 13288, 13391, or 13469; or

• Be owned, controlled, or acting on behalf of any person blocked pursuant to
E.O.s 13288, 13391, or 13469.

The names of those persons and entities listed in the Annexes to, or designated
pursuant to, E.O.s 13288, 13391, and 13469, whose property and interests in
property are therefore blocked, are published in the Federal Register and
incorporated into OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List
(“SDN List”) with the OFAC program tag “[ZIMBABWE].”  The SDN List is available
on OFAC’s Web site at http://www.treasury.gov/sdn.

Note: Certain persons have been targeted for sanctions on the basis of their
connection to the Government of Zimbabwe.  However, U.S. sanctions do not block
the Government of Zimbabwe as a whole, nor do they prohibit all business with
the country of Zimbabwe or transactions involving that jurisdiction.

This fact sheet is a broad summary of the sanctions currently in place.  For an
updated list of authorities and sanctions please refer to the OFAC’s Web site
at:
http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/pages/zimb.aspx.

III. PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS

Unless otherwise authorized or exempt, transactions by U.S. persons, or in or
involving the United States are prohibited if they involve transferring, paying,
exporting, withdrawing, or otherwise dealing in the property or interests in
property of an entity or individual listed on the SDN List.  The property and
interests in property of an entity that is 50% or more owned, directly or
indirectly, by a person on the SDN List are also blocked, regardless of whether
the entity itself is listed.  For details please see:
http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Documents/licensing_guidance.p
df

III. AUTHORIZED AND EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS

EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS

Certain types of activities and transactions may be exempt from the prohibitions
of the Regulations and the Executive orders.  For example, personal
communications, information or informational materials and transactions
ordinarily incident to travel to or from any country are exempt.  Please see 31
C.F.R. § 541.206 for details.

GENERAL LICENSES

OFAC may authorize certain types or categories of activities and transactions,
which would otherwise be prohibited with respect to Zimbabwe, by issuing a
general license.  General licenses may be published in the Regulations, on
OFAC’s website, or both.  For example, the provision of certain legal services
to or on behalf of persons whose property and interests in property are blocked
pursuant to 31 C.F.R. § 541.201(a) is authorized, provided that all receipts of
payment of professional fees and reimbursement of incurred expenses must be
specifically licensed.  See 31 C.F.R. § 541.507.

Also, on April 24, 2013, OFAC issued a general license authorizing all
transactions involving Agricultural Development Bank of Zimbabwe and
Infrastructure Development Bank of Zimbabwe.

For a current list of all general licenses relating to the Zimbabwe sanctions
program, please see 31 C.F.R. Part 541 subpart E or visit:
http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/pages/zimb.aspx.

SPECIFIC LICENSES

On a case-by-case basis OFAC considers applications for specific licenses to
authorize transactions that are neither exempt nor covered by a general license.
Requests for a specific license must be submitted to OFAC’s Licensing Division.
License requests may be submitted using any of the below methods:

• Online: http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Pages/licensing.aspx

V. PENALTIES

Civil monetary penalties of up to the greater of $250,000 or twice the amount of
the underlying transaction may be imposed administratively against any person
who violates, attempts to violate, conspires to violate, or causes a violation
of E.O.s 13288, 13391, and 13469 or the Regulations.  Upon conviction, criminal
penalties of up to $1,000,000, imprisonment for up to 20 years, or both, may be
imposed on any person who willfully commits or attempts to commit, or willfully
conspires to commit, or aids or abets in the commission of a violation of the
E.O.s or the Regulations.

This document is explanatory only and does not have the force of law.  Please
see particularly E.O.s 13288, 13391, and 13469, and the implementing regulations
pertaining to Zimbabwe (31 C.F.R. Part 541) among other applicable laws for
legally binding provisions governing the sanctions.  This document does not
supplement or modify the Executive orders or the Regulations.

Chamisa 's Court Order Dodge

Nelson Chamisa self-declared leader of the opposition MDC party has been stripped of his leadership role by the courts. The courts have been very specific on the illegitimacy of his leadership. I wrote about this illegitimacy last year on my blog and l received a lot of criticism from hordes of uninformed supporters.

 Nelson Chamisa illegitimacy as President of MDC was unquestionable but it is the sanity of hordes of his supporters that is questionable. The court judgment brings out the truth of his illegitimacy. Justice Edith Mushore’s ruling nullifying Nelson Chamisa’s leadership of the party came as a surprise to the Nero brigades but to the majority of Zimbabweans, it was clear that Nelson Chamisa's had illegal wriggled his way to the MDC leadership.

 The judgment also nullified the way the self-declared leader and his then co-vice president Elias Mudzuri were catapulted by the late founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai to be his deputies in 2016. It also compelled the party to hold an extra-ordinary congress within a month.

 The last part of the judgement has irked Nelson Chamisa and scuttled his plan to regularise his stolen leadership status at a sham congress which he had set up. Jacob Mafume had the audacity to demean the court's outcome at a press conference. He actually said the courts were captured and he insisted that Chamisa would go ahead with his sham congress.

 The questions that we ask again as Zimbabweans are many but very important. Can a leader who disregards his own party's constitution be able to lead a country? Will he be able to respect the country's constitution!? Can a prospective leader of Zimbabwe ignore the courts of the land? Can he expect the gatekeepers of the State, that is, the Executive and Judiciary to allow him to set his foot in State House?

 Will our army salute a renegade and a crook? Zimbabweans l rest my case.

February's Tale of Two Fools

I am glad this is February. It is a fools month according to tradition. It is the second month on both the Gregorian and traditional Zimbabwean  Calender. The Zimbabwean calendar has thirteen months, while as the western one is foolishly made up twelve months. That is, as crazy as the people who brought it here to Africa, are. They can not count and they do not reason too, especially when they talk about sanctions on Zimbabwe.

A TALE OF TWO BIRTHDAYS
I would like to pass my birthday wishes to two Zimbabweans. One is a great statesman born on the and  21st of February and the other one who wants to undo what the great statesman. Do not stretch your guess, I am talking of Robert Gabriel Mugabe the great statesman, and Nelson Chamisa the Jecha Boy and Sanctions Band.

Here are two Zimbabweans born in the month of Fools. It is here I compare the foolishness in the two. I see one great statesman who built a country and created a legacy in Robert Gabriel Mugabe. When I look at Nelson Chamisa I see a fool, who has stupid followers, doing the best to undo what the fathers of this nation have done.

THE FOOL IN THE CROWD
We have here a fool who runs into crowds and declare to the world that he is popular...Mr Chamisa Mbare Musika is a crowded place even before you get there!!! Your presence is just adding to the number!

We have a Fool here who takes a selfie in the USA Senate Chambers in Washington D.C on the eve of the renewal on sanctions on Zimbabwe and come back here and say that he was given $15 billion. Come on not all the 16 million Zimbabweans are stupid, it is only the 2 million who voted for you who can believe that rubbish!!

A FOOL'S OBSESSION

We as Zimbabweans are not surprised at all. If you start doing a bad thing at a funeral, that thing becomes an obsession and you will repeat it at every funeral. ( Tinoti akaremwa) in Manicaland.

Have you noticed since the demise of Morgan Tsvangirai in February 2018  how Mr Nelson Chamisa want to seek attention at every funeral ever since? I was surprised that this obsession has gone to the level of gatecrashing even funerals.

THE FOOL IN BOB
I am sorry I have to spoil the fun and come back to Robert Gabriel Mugabe. Bob's foolishness got us our land back. Bob's foolishness got our pride as Africans back.

I will dare say, Bob's foolishness brought us the sanctions. The EU and the USA have slapped sanctions on 16 million Zimbabweans because Robert Gabriel Mugabe reclaimed land for the indigenous people. It is these sanctions that Nelson Chamisa wants to be extended. It is what he calls
"jecha".


Happy Birthday to Nelson Chamisa  the Jecha Boy
Happy Birthday to Robert Gabriel Mugabe the guy who brought us the sanctions!!!

Chamisa's Dramatic Acts, Lies and Sanctions

CHILDISH RUSH  TO ELECTIONS 2023

We could have the bullet train cruising at 350km per hour between Harare and Bulawayo if Nelson Chamisa had won the elections. You have to imagine that and believe that if you are diehard MDC alliance supporters. The rest of us Zimbabweans laugh at these childish hallucinations.

Now the elections have come and gone. Nelson Chamisa lost the elections in the ballot box and in the constitutional court, he is now seeking relevancy and publicity. We will be seeing having press briefing after press briefings. He will maximise every photo opportunity. 

This move is to prepare for the 2023 elections campaign. We can see that this guy Nelson Chamisa got a massive amount of criticism over his utterances at rallies. Could the Zimbabwean

voter trust, and respect a liar? The people of Zimbabwe rejected him at the polls. The elections are over and the people of Zimbabwe are watching his every move.

 EXPECT MORE ATTENTION SEEKING ACTS

Nelson Chamisa will be attending every funeral, birthday and even spend the day in fuel queues just for the publicity and a chance to lie to the gullible amongst our people. Chamisa has created a character around his image. He thinks he is young at forty and he believes to has a social media community of raving fans who are not voters. The social media fans "likes" and buy all the childish stuff and lies.

 In some circles, they call him the child president, they believe he should be the President of the Children's parliament. We as Zimbabweans should expect staged abductions or even disappearing acts from Chamisa. He is an actor but not a very good one as seen on the Marondera "selfie" abduction act. I pray and hope he will not throw himself under a moving train just to draw some attention!!!

We have seen him in Budiriro trying to mingle with the people and pretending to sympathise with the Cholera outbreak victims. He has not explained to the same people of how ZIDERA sanctions are at the root of the outbreak. He has not told the same people that he and Tendai Biti were in Washington in February 2018 making sure the USA government will not remove the sanctions. Chamisa has categorically stated that the people must suffer at his own rallies unless he wins.

KUDIRA JECHA SYNDROME AND SANCTIONS

The kudira jecha syndrome is his mantra and war cry against the people of Zimbabwe. The sanctions have a big impact on our health system. The sanctions have affected every facet of our economy and society. It is a fact that the sanctions affect thousands and thousands of people. Every Zimbabwean know that the lifting of the sanctions would help us to live happier, more fulfilling, more prosperous lives. It is this outcome of a prosperous Zimbabwe that Nelson Chamisa and MDC alliance supporters do not like.

THE FEBRUARY 2018 USA VISIT

My challenge to Chamisa is that he takes 20 minutes and explain to the people of Zimbabwe, what he was doing in Washington in February 2018. We want to know what Nelson Chamisa, Tendai Biti, Dewah Mavhunga and that diehard Rhodesian Godwin were doing in the USA Senate. I hope and pray that the four were invited for tea or coffee.

Let us wait for the next presser from the Child President of Zimbabwe.
