Does Zimbabwe owe you anything? Part 3

However, such a declaration made me ask myself if he is declaring a rebellion should he lose next year — which is obvious by the way, or he is saving face since he has run out of a better pleasing political rhetoric. Let’s understand him from a position of a desperate salesman, he has to have a selling line and after running out of all false advertising speech hooks of “Mugabe must go”, “manenzara? Hamusati manzwa nzara” and a flogging of the “bad governance” narrative which has proven his lieutenants to be gurus at it and lost him ground, it was high time he joined the trailer of the eco-friendly: “recycling waste” — he had to recycle that rhetoric. He said it at White City stadium in 2005, he said it in 2008 and he said it in 2013 at the same venue, wearing the same colours — but still healthier, yet he still is saying it today. Do you know that those who believed in the naked prophet Isaiah when he walked around naked for three years were said to be mad as well, the difference with Tsvangirai’s supporters is that Isaiah’s word came to fruition. Tsvangirai is very much compromised. My discussion with my medical friend confirms that. #letusprayforMorgan. Good calculations by foolish parades I remembered that there is a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the 12-year public enemies, Morgan Tsvangirai and Welshman Ncube without the consent of Joyce Mujuru who once was their foe but now an ally. Mixed feelings around it aside, realism-in, Professor Welshman Ncube did his calculations well. Realising an imminent political catastrophe in 2018, he decided to save his face should the odds confirm he is a political midget in a giant’s playfield. Wait, he is a kapenta in a pond of sharks; he made a decision based on electoral projections, that is clever of him.

In 2013, the good Professor controlled 2,68 % of the electorate of which the rest if not majority are on proportional representation and its two women, with Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga having shifted to Matabeleland South on soft affirmative action after calculating that Glen Norah was not going to be friendly to her after all. To Welshman, the coalition is a well calculated safety net in any political misfortune because he was not going to be a negotiating principal should the paltry 2% vanish. The deal with Tsvangirai means he is a principal in the affairs of politics post 2018 as he has voluntarily absorbed himself into an MDC-T system not a coalition arrangement.

A man like the Professor cannot suddenly compromise his much arraigned principles for the benefit of the people except if it meant death for him. For 12 years, he stood by those principles which he viciously defended and vehemently declared that never will he associate himself with a dictatorial Tsvangirai. Now he suddenly thinks that people matter. So, they didn’t matter then? I respect him for his projection of the political stripping he was facing because contesting for the presidency was a non-starter. Two percent cannot miraculously be the five fish and two loaves prayed for by Jesus, the two Parliamentary seats were going to vanish leaving him with a confirmed “briefcase” party. He definitely needed TB Joshua for that miracle to be believed.

To Tsvangirai, global political pressure was piling on him to coalesce and he never took time to question if 92 637 votes were added to 1 172 349 votes would add up to 2 110 434 votes in Zanu-PF’s pockets as of the last election. So who won on this coalition? Is it Tsvangirai who has done what Macheso sang “Zvido zvenu kunyanya” or it’s the Professor of Constitutionalism bargaining with the tea boy? Let those with eyes see. London Bridge is falling down, falling

down, falling down . . . (Singing) It started with former vice-president Joyce Mujuru blatantly lying in London that she is poor and didn’t know anything that happened in Zanu-PF to an incumbent Vice-President of the opposition, leaving many stunned. here is something about London which makes our female politicians be affected by histrionic personality disorder (look it up). In summary, it’s a personality disorder characterised by immaturity and being dramatic.

Thokozani Khuphe, one of the three vice-presidents of MDC-T defied all barricades of confining one to political correctness — she is in it for the money. She didn’t lie, please don’t insult her, she was honest enough to confirm what has been happening in our local councils when councillors and deputy mayors can’t wear their sheep’s clothes anymore. Isn’t she a darling?

Telling the truth is always good — a burden off her shoulder, now we know why Elias Mudzuri, Thobani Ncube and Martin Moyo are like that. If she can say such in public — that’s a snippet, what is said in private about being an opposition for the national wealth? Sinankiwe straight!
