ARTHUR MUTAMBARA, PLEASE STICK TO ROBOTICS!!


Arthur Mutambara is young and ambitious, attracted to radical, anti-western rhetoric and smart as a whip, but he is not aware that knowledge and wisdom are not one and the same thing. But, in many respects he’s a light-weight who has spent too much time reading U.S. campaign messaging manuals and too little thinking about the real issues; in essence he is not a wise man but rather a village fool. His contribution in the Inclusive Government has been to try and outshine Zanu PF by being more Zanu PF. For a man who cannot win an election in a burial society, we find his actions unacceptable and dubious. I condemn Mutambara`s lean thinking by trying to be a representative of those who rejected him in 2008.

THAT Arthur Mutambara is not the director of proceedings in the puppet theatre is clear. It is equally clear that he is performing puppetry politics. We are guided here by George Charamba’s engagement of the situation when he said the following about Arthur Mutambara, unexpectedly and through repeated interaction with Mugabe, he met filling depth, inexhaustible profoundness, vast accommodation and an alluring myth from which he found much to tap to build his own aura. To see the two together was like seeing a revolutionary grandfather trying to impart and inspire an eager youth so hungry for fame. Arthur has imbibed a lot from the old man, which is what will never make him the same, whatever his circumstances, he is now damaged goods. Indeed, Arthur will never be the same. It is also clear that Arthur has set out to destroy everything that he fought for over the years. But wisdom from our elders has it that, “when a man is stung by a bee, he doesn't set off to destroy all beehives.”

 However, a couple of things have to be deciphered as they emerge from this circus. It is clear from the above statement that Arthur Mutambara is not his own man and that he has been transformed. The exuberant self-professed democrat who used to preach the language of ‘walking the talk’ is gone! But why is that so? First is the fact that ZANU PF had long accepted that for as long as Professor Welshman Ncube continues in that GNU then they will not be able to get what they want, which was to cause the collapse of the Global Political Agreement. Remember for them, it is now clear that Morgan Tsvangirai's party has failed to cause it to collapse.

THE RUTHLESS ZIMBABWEAN 5TH BRIGADE

Image
The Fifth Brigade was an elite unit of specially trained Zimbabwean soldiers. The Fifth Brigade was formed in 1981 and disbanded in 1988 after allegations of brutality and murder during the Brigade's occupation of Matabeleland. It was reformed later and was active in 2006 at least. In October 1980, President Robert Mugabe signed an agreement with the North Korean President, Kim Il Sung, that they would train and equip a brigade for the Zimbabwe National Army. In August 1981, 106 North Koreans arrived to train the new brigade. The members of the Fifth Brigade were drawn from 3500 ex-ZANLA troops, including two unintegrated ZANLA battalions, at Tongogara Assembly Point. There were a few ZIPRA troops in the unit initially, but they were withdrawn before the end of the training. It has been reported that there were also some foreigners in the unit, possibly Tanzanians. The training of Fifth Brigade lasted until September 1982, when Minister Sekeramayi announced training was complete

ZUMA: ZIM ELECTIONS WERE NOT FAIR OR CREDIBLE!!!

Image
“We did not say Zim elections were fair”—Zuma’s Minister Upon realization that ZUMA had not adequately applied his mind to the evidence pointing to vote rigging in Zimbabwe, the South African President, was forced to take back his former statement, which had indicated the vote was FREE & FAIR. Additionally, the revelations that ZUMA was bribed by ZANU PF are definitely not working in his favour. Compounded by the fact, that blessing a MUGABE victory, would only help Malema`s Project of Economic empowerment the ZANU PF way, must have caused some collywobbles within South African political elite.   Someone must have opened ZUMA`s eyes to the impending dangers to South Africa by declaring the Zimbabwean Election as FREE & FAIR. ZUMA would have had a tough time in selling Mugabe`s legitimacy   to the World, now that he realizes that he is alone in congratulating Mugabe, now he has been forced to take back his self-indulgent statement. Let’s hope it’s soon he returns the mo

NOTHING TO FEAR IN MUGABE

Mugabe will be removed by politicians who will surmount the fear of death and breathe courage to the population. Leaders, who will, with their trusted people power and large numbers, demolish Mugabe’s thin fortresses of violence and extract freedom and justice from the sinking regime. In his lifetime, Mugabe must see the colour of defeat, taste the bitter cup of justice and smell the freedom of his victims. The many Zanu PF hardliners who continue to show fanatical and near cultic support for Mugabe are not Zimbabweans who love and honour “a dear leader.” It is a collection of fearful beneficiaries of Mugabe’s violence, corruption, patronage and pillage who stand to lose their freedom, wealth and even lives in the case of his departure. These are Mugabe’s zealots who have raped, murdered, robbed and stolen in the name of Mugabe and are most likely to be thrown into extremism upon Mugabe’s death and run down Zimbabwe in a bloody civil war if not managed strategically by the politic
