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.
