Mugabe’s Scortched Earth Warfare

Mugabe's Scortched Earth Warfare.

It is mind boggling to imagine why Mugabe is trying for another term in office. Another term! To do what?


The only explanation that can come into my mind is that, the man is hell bend on totally destroying our Zimbabwe. He is not going to leave one single intact brick or stone, the possible building material for anybody who might inherit this bankrupt country. Mugabe is bending on total scorched earth policy.

He is systematically and methodically destroying our country and he has been doing that ever since 2000 after the ill-fated draft constitution was rejected; overwhelmingly rejected by the people. That was the first time he was really acquainted with the fact that he was no longer popular with the electorate.

With his mega ego that was not forgivable, he fought for this country and in his mind this gives him the right to do whatever he likes whenever, that gives him the right to rule this country until the day that he is going to breathe his last breath.  

It started with the land reform program, the barbaric and insane destruction of this country’s once thriving agricultural system. And the result is all clear for everybody who really wants to; to see.

Next followed a series of  equally insane economic policies, he refused to listen to voices of reason, Simba Mkoni tried and failed and resigned, so did Nkosana Moyo, So did Murerwa. Gono is still trying to do the impossible. The result is the hyperinflation and the indescribable suffering of the people; the humiliatingly total impoverishment of the citizens.

After reducing the country to such a sorry state Mugabe was still not satisfied for reasons best known to him he embarked on a senseless destruction of the people’s homes. Thousands where left exposed to the elements like animals.

Then came the price blitz; a government sponsored destruction of the already struggling businesses. Today most businesses have closed shop. Those that are still open are operating below ten percent capacity.

Now there is no educational system to talk about, the health system has all but collapsed, leaving a lot of patients hopeless. Imagine four out of five dialysis machines at Parerenyatwa not working; with the one that is still functioning fully booked for a week. Imagine the pain of those who are in need of the services of the machines are undergoing; imagine having to watch your loved one in such a helpless situation.  

That leaves a lot of people with the question of when will Mugabe be satisfied. I really do hate to just imaging the answer to that question and for the goodness of this country, the future of this country that we fought for we must never wait to see what the answer to that question will be. Then it will be way, way too late; Because Mugabe has nothing good for this country. I doubt if he ever had any good intentions for this country. If he has why can’t he just see that he has totally failed, why cant the see this nerve racking suffering that the people are going through?

I believe that every thing is going according to his plans. This is the tragic script that only a heartless and vile person can write.

I say let us put an end to this tragedy that Mugabe has planned for our country. Let us join hands to put an end to the evil scorched earth war that Mugabe has been waging against all of us.

LET’S VOTE THE GUY OUT !!!
