THANKS FOR NOTHING MUTAMBARA

Mutambara out in the cold

HE came with a bang, taking over the leadership of the pro-Senate faction of the MDC in February 2006, but it now appears the former University of Zimbabwe student leader will exit the political limelight anonymously. It is said he is now living a life of prayers!

Deputy Prime Minister, Arthur Mutambara’s name won’t appear on the Presidential ballot papers when Zimbabweans vote on Wednesday. Neither did his name appear on that ballot paper after he pulled out of the race in support of Simba Makoni in 2008. He tried the Zengeza East parliamentary seat but lost to MDC-T’s Alexio Musundire. He has cut a lone figure in these dying days of the inclusive government despite being one of the principals to the power-sharing government. Instead, it is President Robert Mugabe, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and MDC leader Welshman Ncube who are on the campaign trail seeking the keys to State House.
 
Mutambara, who has promised to unite democratic forces of change when he took over MDC in 2006, is bruised, battered, unable to win an election even in a burial society, maybe he was trying his luck at Chioniso`s funeral and unable to command the respect he gained seven years ago. Back then, the robotics professor said he had a mission of uniting the democratic forces of change, would work to refocus and energize the vision, values and strategy of these forces and the development of a comprehensive macro-economic blueprint that resolves the economic crisis.
 
He said then that the split of the MDC had caused distress on Zimbabweans and it needed someone from outside to resolve the crisis. “As the party goes towards two separate congresses, the infusion of new leadership, untainted by current disagreements, is imperative to facilitate the reunification process,” Mutambara said then. The reunification bid failed and his party was to split into two after the party’s congress in 2011, which elected Welshman Ncube as the leader. At the end of that congress Mutambara promised to be a soldier in the party even though he did not have a position. He said MDC was the only party in Zimbabwe that had made a transparent change in leadership. “Before the national council met [last December], I said I was not standing for any position because I believe in leadership renewal and it is good for our party democracy,” he said.
 
Some months later, Mutambara was singing a different hymn saying that he was still the leader of the party. He was seen to be closer to Mugabe in the inclusive government. When MDC said Mutambara should step down from his post in government, Mugabe supported him. The fight for the party was to spill into the courts with High Court judge Lawrence Kamocha declaring him an illegitimate leader of the smaller faction of MDC. Contacted for comment yesterday, Mutambara said he was busy but would return the call .Nonetheless Tsvangirai will be able to find you a robot, you can work on, he has promised JOBS JOBS JOBS to all even to you MUTAMBARA.

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
