Mawarire plays to gallery
EDITOR — Wannabe politician Evan Mawarire appears to be a rascal who enjoys media publicity which he is self-interpreting as political success.
We also saw his sister-in-mischief — one Linda Masarira — a mother-of-three, fighting for publicity space with Sten Zvorwadza, to attract donor funds as a source of livelihood in an economy ravaged by the savage effects of illegal economic sanctions the opposition grovelled for.
The same sanctions were imposed by those who also financially oil the sinister activities of political activists!
Then came back Evan, the latest Western project in destabilising Zimbabwe.
In a democracy, people should organise themselves to air their political views within the confines of the law.
Laws are created via parliament which is democratically elected.
Breaking the laws, is akin to challenging those who passed the laws democratically.
Meanwhile, a cabal of political opposition party leaders are not amused by activists who don’t belong to their respective parties because that tends to confuse their political markets.
On the other hand these activists don’t want to join any political party because that would kill their chances of getting regime change funding to start their own political NGO for a sordid living!
Zimbabweans can see through such selfish trajectories of the activists.
This explains why support for the individual activists tends to be short-lived. It degenerates into a political mist. Truth is, opposition voices in Zimbabwe are making a storm out of nothing by slamming Mawar- ire’s arrest.
His case was not concluded when he left the country and as such, it is only natural that he is taken in for questioning.
Who remembers the video he released with a female companion, labelling Zimbabweans to be “haters”, a term equating our critical countrymen to enemies of success. Now that the administration in America has changed, he wants to validate his asylum status by coming to Zimbabwe to stir trouble.
Mawarire should focus on reviving his church, instead of trying to use Zimbabweans to seek donor attention. Cde Muzvinavhu, Via email.
