No to reversing gains of independen­ce

EDITOR — How could Sister Runaida ( Joice Mujuru) say what she said about our land reform and black empowermen­t laws?

She knows very well that sanctions on our economy were imposed because of our black empowermen­t laws attacking the colonial land theft.

It’s anathema for Sister Runaida to speak in favour of colonial land property rights.

Is she is not spitting on the face of our late national hero General Solomon Mujuru who loved his Ruzambo Farm? Is Runaida’s conscience clear? Is she just politicall­y prostituti­ng to get funds for the coming convention to formalise her party? Which is which? Nehanda forbid! Will the economical­ly brutish British pour sinister funds into her political outfit to oil her? Where does this put the images of Messrs Rugare Gumbo and Didymus Mutasa who were in a political bed with her just few moons ago?

They must indeed be ashamed of the “queen bee” letting the political cat out of the bag.

Where does this also put few war veterans who seemed inclined to ally with her because of her liberation war credential­s? Is Sister Runaida mentally lucid?

We can only conclude that all our opposition parties are too averse to black empowermen­t.

Even Tsvangirai is bitter that he has to compete for funds with all emerging opposition parties singing anti-Zanu-PF policies to please the West.

Meanwhile, Zanu-PF will not be shaken by such mushroomin­g of politicall­y spineless lot.

In political calculus we say, “The derivative of Zanu-PF with respect to all political quislings is zero!”

Even the mooted coalition of these political mongrels will not materialis­e because funding and competitio­n to live on sellout money is their perpetual Achilles heel.

As 2018 closes nearer, Zanu-PF’s political ammunition is now fuelled positively. Cde Mzvinavhu, Via e-mail.
