Zims return to hunting, gathering – MDC

abweans on the eve of Heroes’ Weekend he said no matter which yardstick of human development was applied, Zimbabweans were a miserable lot- plunged into a survival mode akin to that of the hunter-gatherer variety.
“Our story reads like a work of high-grade fiction. Officially, the Zanu (PF) regime admits without shame that it has destroyed our inheritance through misrule and poor governance. The regime’s hunger for power and lack of national sensitivity is now common cause. Only last week, Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono hit the nail on the head when he mentioned indiscipline, corruption, speculation and bureaucratic inertia as the four main vices weighing down Zimbabwe, led by an avaricious, parasitic Zanu (PF) elite.
“Because of unfulfilled promises, the Mugabe regime sought to suppress dissent through the murder of more than 400 democracy activists during the past six years. Tichaona Chiminya, Talent Mabika, Trymore Midzi, Martin Olds and many others joined the pre-independence fighters in their quest for a New Zimbabwe. We honour and salute them just as we remember Jairos Jiri, Rev Ndabaningi Sithole, Chief Justice Enock Dumbuthsena, Chrispen Mandizvidza, Henry Hamadziripi, James Dambaza Chikerema and many others whose vision for Zimbabwe remains unrealized because of Zanu (PF)’s political ineptitude,” said Tsvangirai, adding that these heroes “must be amazed at the scale of destruction that has taken place during the past 26 years”.
He said the Mugabe regime had unsuccessfully tried to cover-up the massive devaluation of Zimbabwe’s currency by introducing a bearer note worth Z$100 million- the highest note in the world.
“Let me assure you that these developments shall soon be history. We are on course with our plans and we shall attain our goal.With your support, we shall soon rise and stop political morticians from continuously perfuming a corpse in an advanced state of decomposition. Given the sacrifices of our national heroes, all indications show that we are shall survive this rough patch. Our efforts to effect corrective measures are about to bear fruit. We know that Zimbabwe is on the verge of a takeover from a military junta. That shall be resisted,” promised Tsvangirai.
