Todays misleading and laughable reports in The Herald that Zanu PF has strictly adhered to the Global Political Agreement (GPA) represents yet another desperate attempt to hoodwink Zimbabweans and the international community when the facts speak for themselves on who has led the world up the garden path.Zanu PFs spokesman Ephraim Masawi makes scandalous allegations that the MDC has not spoken out about sanctions. He further alleges that President Mugabe has stuck to the law and the GPA when he appointed Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono and Attorney-General Johannes Tomana. Masawi wrongly alleges it is the prerogative of President Mugabe to appoint 10 provincial governors and resident ministers.
The world is clear that the so-called sanctions are a result of Zanu PFs past sins of omission and commission. The onus is on Zanu PF itself to morph into a civilised political party that does not believe in the primitive and feudal coercive politics of machetes and knobkerries. The MDC cannot be held accountable for Zanu PFs political misfortunes and the barbaric image it has carved out for itself in the eyes of Africa and the world.
Zimbabweans, the region and the world know that it is Zanu PF which has violated the GPA by standing in the way of Constitutional reform, by maintaining a stranglehold on the public media, by persecuting political opponents, by reneging on agreed reform processes and refusing to swear-in officials legally seconded to the inclusive government by their political parties. The case of Hon Roy Bennet is a case in point.
The MDC is a party of excellence. We believe in abiding by agreements to which we have appended our signatures. Contrary to the rantings by the Zanu PF, it is not Zanu PF which appointed MDC ministers, but the people of Zimbabwe appointed an entire MDC government on 29 March. It is Zanu PF which got accommodated into an MDC government through a political settlement.
Zanu PF lies will not change the truth. While Zanu PFs journey to oblivion has gathered momentum, our journey to a new Zimbabwe is irreversible.
