Exit ‘poor’ Tsvangirai and enter Lovemore Madhuku, with his egg throwing suggestion.
‘Citizens should take eggs to consultative meetings and throw them at authorities suggesting draft bills which do not comply with people’s expectations as reflected in the constitution,’ said Madhuku.
Once we have citizens assaulting politicians with eggs, there will be nothing to stop them from tossing rocks and, soon, Molotov cocktails. If anybody took him seriously, he might have faced charges of inciting violence.
Madhuku also disregards the fact that eggs are a luxury food item in this country, with only the privileged minority having the means to add them to their shopping trolley. In Harare, the lucky few who have jobs can be seen slowly cycling or making the long walk to and from work, between the CBD and places as far as Kuwadzana – a 20km journey – for lack of 50 cents kombi fare. For Madhuku to suggest that we buy eggs at $5 a tray – to throw at fat cat politicians, not to eat – is clear indication that he is not in touch with the masses.

Both Zanu PF and the opposition are weak and incompetent.
The governing party and the opposition are as good or as bad as the society from whom they come. A good and competent electorate capable of holding the leaders to account with in turn produce good and competent leaders whilst a mediocre electorate which does not know left from right will have corrupt and oppressive leaders pursuing policies that defy common sense.
After 34 years there is no doubt that we should have removed the Zanu PF dictatorship if we, the electorate had not been fast asleep.
People get the government they deserve, we certainly deserve this Zanu PF dictatorship and the incompetent MDC opposition! Since there is no sign that the Zimbabwean people are waking up from their sloth-like slumber, there is no reason to believe the country will have a competent government in the foreseeable future!
Thanks for such a knowledgeable post.
