TSVANGIRAI; JOIN FORCES WITH NCUBE IF YOU CARE ABOUT ZIM!


THE MDC party led by Welshman Ncube on Wednesday mocked MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s protests against Zanu PF for stalling reforms agreed in 2008 accusing him of flouting SADC resolutions. Tsvangirai is on a week-long trip around Africa trying to persuade leaders to lean on President Robert Mugabe to implement media, security and electoral reforms before elections are called. But the MDC has accused Tsvangirai of hypocrisy over his alleged refusal – in collusion with Mugabe  to accept Ncube as a principal as outlined in a SADC resolution after he became leader of his party in 2011, replacing Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara who later filed a court challenge.

“The last resolution made in Maputo which stated clearly that Welshman Ncube was a principal of the GPA [Global Political Agreement] and thus must be involved in all GPA deliberations has not only been ignored and trashed by Mugabe and Zanu PF but by Morgan Tsvangirai and the MDC-T,” MDC spokesman Nhlanhla Dube said in a statement on Wednesday. “What makes all this interesting is that after failing to adhere to SADC resolutions, Tsvangirai is hopping from one SADC member state to another ostensibly to complain about the non-implementation of GPA agreements. This to be honest is plain silly and embarrassing.”

Dube said Tsvangirai had “quite clearly failed to exhibit an understanding of how SADC works”, adding: “He thinks that the body whose resolution he spat at with regards to Ncube's status will now listen to him and grant him some imagined favours. “Someone must call him back and tell him that sadly for him, SADC already knows that he has been cohabitating with Mugabe and Zanu PF… ”

Tsvangirai met South African President Jacob Zuma on Sunday and then flew to Tanzania for talks with President Jakaya Kikwete before a meeting with Angola’s Foreign Minister on Tuesday. He does not return home until Sunday. The MDC-T leader is trying to persuade SADC leaders to call an extraordinary summit on Zimbabwe, as well as the convening of the SADC troika on politics, defence and security to discuss Zimbabwe’s impending elections.

Tsvangirai fears that Mugabe could call elections in June before his party’s “minimum conditions” for taking part in the elections are met. But Zanu PF says all the so-called reforms demanded by Tsvangirai have found expression in a new constitution set to come before Parliament next week. Zanu PF says the life of the current Parliament will come to an end in June and delaying elections would leave a vacuum in the legislature. Tsvangirai is also finding little sympathy from Ncube’s party after the former university law professor found himself locked out of several meetings between Mugabe and the Prime Minister.

Dube said: “If Tsvangirai was genuinely interested in implementation of the SADC resolutions, he would have insisted that Ncube be there when crucial decisions were being made because that is the only way implementation would be done. “By slapping Ncube in the face, they [Mugabe and Tsvangirai] are actually slapping SADC in the face. The MDC is in no doubt that as diplomatic parlance will require, SADC will sit him on comfortable couches, serve him tea and take smile-filled pictures with him, but when it comes to decision time they will point him straight back to all the resolutions on which he has been helping Mugabe not to implement.”

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
