They are now even stealing Chamisa’s face
MWhen you think you have seen everything in Zimbabwean politics, boom, something even weirder happens.
This past week we had that mercenary Tshabungu through his handler in faraway Nairobi telling us that Nero can longer use the image of his face for political campaigns.
They argue that the face belongs to the hijacked CCC where Tshabangu now seems to be calling the shots.
Nero tried to write to the compromised Zec in an effort to stop the imposter from using his image in his dirty work, but predictably Chigumba and her band preferred to see no evil and hear no evil!
It has become obvious that the unelectable Lacoste leader is behind the chaos brewing in CCC to aid his futile bid for a third term in office and nothing, including Malaba’s courts and Zec, can stop this brazen assault on democracy.
The nutty one thinks he has found a way to revenge against Nero for rejecting his poisonous advice by penning those long and boring essays4ED.
Some say he is trying to worm his way back into the ruining party, but he is the one who told us Ngwena never forgives!
Anyway, we will let him continue singing for his supper because we all know that it is cold out there. Munopengaaaaaa!
The preposterous demands by recently elected legislators to Finance minister Mthuli Ncube have exposed the individuals’ shameful greed.
The demands include top-of therange Toyota Land Cruisers, hotel stay for their spouses and salary for their workers. Munopenga!!!
That the Zanu PF legislators blackmailed Mthuli to pass the budget by threatening to withhold their support demonstrated the callous nature of the legislators, who are more interested in feathering their nests than addressing the urgent needs of the constituents who voted them into office.
It is a damning indictment of governance failure under Scarfmore’s regime that Mthuli more than doubled the allocation to Parliament after allocating less than 10 % to the health sector.
This is a sector, which is in the doldrums with some public hospitals with just one functioning ambulance in the midst of a deadly cholera epidemic.
It is scandalous that the country’s citizens are continuously shortchanged by these morally bankrupt individuals, some of whom cannot even put together coherent arguments for debate in the august house.
Sadly even the opposition party, Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has been found wanting in this regard.
CCC leader Nero tried in vain to stop his legislators in the previous parliament from grabbing the US$40 000 loans availed by the Lacoste regime. Some opposition legislators who slated Ngwena and Co. for dishing out loans like confetti at a wedding to ministers and judges amid increasing poverty, had no qualms taking up these loans in a demonstration of stinking hypocrisy.
Given the avarice and double standards of the MPs, the country’s citizens are the poorer for it.
Revelations by a human rights watchdog that traditional leaders are responsible for nearly half of the human rights violations in rural areas is hardly surprising.
Heal Zimbabwe revealed that in the run-up to the 2023 elections, village heads were illegally appointed Zanu PF cell chairs and became the epicentre of a litany of human rights abuses including but not limited to intimidation, partisan deprivation of government aid, forced attendance and participation of their subjects at Zanu PF meetings, rallies and activities.
The damning revelations are only further confirmation that the elections, which were also characterised by voter suppression and the arrest of local electoral observers, were a major farce.
This is why Nevers Mumba, who was the head of the Sadc electoral commission that observed those sham elections, called the polls “the most fraudulent in the history of the region”.
In light of these observations by Heal Zimbabwe, the remarks by Sadc chairman and Angolan President Joao Laurenco that the elections were exemplary are made to look even more ridiculous.
It never ceases to amaze me the lengths the state rags will go to give the impression that the clueless Scarfmore regime actually know more than grabbing power using guns and tanks and clamping down on demonstrations.
In that desperation, one state outlet pointed out that the busy trading period was testament to the efforts of the second repubric who in its words “did not get the credit it deserves.” Munopenga!!!
To give the dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion credit for the shopping rush that is par for the course in the run up to Christmas, gives clutching at straws a whole new meaning.
In its bootlicking frenzy, the state rag conveniently omitted that the prices of basic commodities have skyrocketed as the Zimbabwe dollar has lost further value as it is now trading at up to $12 000 to the greenback on the parallel market up from $8 000 in the run up to Christmas.
Probably the Scarfmore regime should take more responsibility for this rather than credit for the usual festive season rush.
Scarfmore has taken his annual leave, not that it makes any difference.
What was of interest to me was the mention that he will not be leaving the country and that he will be on duty from time to time when necessary.
It begs the question of whether he trusts his deputies Generari and Kembo if he feels he has to take a break from his leave occasionally.
Whereby Gushungo could go on holiday anywhere around the world during his annual break, Ngwena seems to fear to leave the country during his leave as evidenced by the octogenarian making it public that he is very much around.
Given the way he was propelled into power on the back of guns and tanks and that he is not the most popular leader around judging by the way he has scraped through the two elections he has contested in, he has probable cause to be wary kkkkk.
With the year coming to an end, I, your good doctor, will next week give you my selection of the worst and most scandalous developments during the year and rest assured the dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion will feature prominently.
Munopengaaaaaaa! Stop It!
