Cowards die many times before actual death
THE recent arrest of war veterans at the New Government Complex in Harare who were staging a strike over paltry pension payouts proved to all and sundry that President Emmerson Mnangagwa has totally lost the plot.
It became clear that the once-oppressed are now mimicking their oppressor, the late Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith.
Unfortunately, this authoritarian government has perfected the art of subjugating the will of the people and annihilating opposition.
It is said that when a hyena wants to eat its own children, it accuses them of smelling like goats.
How sad the revolution continues to devour its own children.
War veterans of note and bona fide soldiers of the liberation struggle were arrested for demanding better pensions.
The party has been hijacked by a greedy mafia. Anyone who holds a different opinion from Mnangagwa is either trying to overthrow government or is sponsored by the West.
Mnangagwa came to power through a November 2017 coup, and is now ruling the country military style.
He is behaving like Zimbabwe is his private property.
Mnangagwa continues to believe the fib that he was elected into power by the masses.
He knows very well that he never won the 2018 elections and he is where he is because he stole the people’s vote.
The fact that war veterans are demanding pensions that affords them a good standard of living is enough confirmation that things are not okay in the country. Beating them up is not the answer, correcting economic fundamentals is.
Our economy is on its knees and the local currency continues to lose value against the United States dollar (US$1:$180).
Mnangagwa’s ministers are busy abusing their offices to line their pockets.
The two million jobs Mnangagwa promised never materialised, yet resources are being expropriated, with Zimbabweans being the biggest losers.
The writing is on the wall, Mnangagwa has no solution to our problems.
