As expected following Mugabes call for elections in 2011, the violence perpetrated by hired Zanu (PF) hoodlums has escalated in the past three weeks. This is not at all a result of political protest by Mugabes personal party.
Rather, this is well-orchestrated destabilization of the GNU by hired hands that are paid a pittance of$5 per day for their trouble.
The Zanu (PF) officials who are actively denying that they are the ones organizing these brainless hoodlums will not be able to fool us. We are aware that Mugabe and his supporters would like the GNU to fold up on or about February 15 and that the elections be held three months later. That way the police, the army, the militia and the CIO will be able to violently force the people of this country to vote for Mugabe and Zanu (PF).
This will enable some of those senior Zanu (PF) officials who are currently out of the GNU to get positions in the resultant illegitimate government. This will throw the nation back to the year 2008. The people of Zimbabwe must not allow this to happen.
In a desperate move to try and smear mud on the Prime Minister and the MDC-T, state-owned media has twisted and grossly misinterpreted what the PM said when he was interviewed while in Davos, Switzerland last week. They are now claiming that the PM incited the Egyptian type of violence in this country. Well, nothing can be further from the truth. Some of us saw and read precisely what the PM said and it was nowhere near incitement of political violence of the Tunisian kind in this country. If, indeed, the PM did incite such violence, why not charge him and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law? The cheap propaganda that is typical of the state media is sickening, to say the least. Fortunately, the people of this country have developed thick skins, and they know that anything the state media is jumping happy about as having been committed by the PM and the MDC must necessarily be a falsehood. The state media and the brainless political analysts that they use are the laughing stock throughout Zimbabwe.
But back to the Harare violence perpetrated by the former liberation party, Zanu (PF). We note that most of the hired hoodlums that are used are not people of Harare. They are brought in by buses and lorries from as far afield as Banket, Shamva, Bindura and Chinhoyi. We all know that Zanu (PF) no longer has trusted youths in Harare. Very few women from Harare are still loyal to that decaying political party.
The ones we see dancing kongonya (dirty dance) on TV are hired and paid to wear that partys regalia and sing stupid praises to Mugabe and his crumbling party. None of them believe half of what they are made to sing and dance about. We wait to see how many of them will vote for Mugabe and his party come the next elections. We also know that the 2008 harmonised elections resulted, inter alia, in Zanu (PF) losing power in virtually all the urban centres throughout the country.
This explains Ignatius Chombos desperate moves to suspend and dismiss as many MDC-T councillors as possible before the next elections. It is, however a futile exercise since the majority of the people of this country, regardless of where they reside, are determined to get rid of the bad rubbish called Zanu (PF) in all its guises. Yes, lets have elections this year and we will teach the rotten party another good lesson in democracy.
