Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown

My Dear People The Zimbabwe AntiCorrup­tion Commission (Zacc) was very busy last week arresting magistrate­s, court o cials and lawyers for alleged crime ranging from corruption to witchcraft.

A poor magistrate was arrested for allegedly getting a microwave, among other inducement­s from a suspect.

However, the most bizzare case handled by Zacc was that of a lawyer who was arrested for allegedly obstructin­g the course of justice after engaging a traditiona­l healer.

Zacc said the lawyer identi ed as Linda Kovi engaged one Chief Dotito to harm a “witness, Zacc o cers and court o cials handling her case of fraud, which is before the courts.”

If anyone of you have been wondering why Zacc has been folding its hands while people like Wicknell Chivayo

aunt their unexplaine­d wealth you now have yours answers.

Zacc has never been serious about combating corruption and it only goes after the small sh. Munopengaa­aaaaaa

The dramatic events of Friday where Ngwena had to abandon a trip to Victoria Falls mid air once again demonstrat­ed that a military coup is bad for any country.

Over six years after the military putsch that ousted Gushungo and installed the Lacoste cabal leader, the new rulers have not known peace.

They don’t trust each other and they press the panic buttons at the slightest sign of a threat.

There are many questions that remain unanswered, which arise from that incident, but for now I will give those that have been assigned to investigat­e John Doe’s email the space to do their work.

I was reminded of the White City bombing and that the mystery around who was behind the attack is still to be solved six years later.

Such a background tells me that we may never know whether John Doe’s email is authentic or not.

What cannot be hidden, however, is that Ngwena’s sel sh bid to run for a third term in o ce has raised dust in Zanu PF.

There are some who feel that the Lacoste leader has torn asunder all the pacts they made when they seized power from Gushungo and the ssures are widening every day.

Ngwena has also become very irritable as shown in the viral video where he is heard admonishin­g people for playing a “bad” recording of the national an

them.

It’s becoming very hot in the kitchen and someone will soon realise that backstabbi­ng Gushungo was not a wise move.

My moles in the ruining party tell me that we should buckle ourselves for more drama in the coming months. kikikikiki

Zimbabwe is facing an unpreceden­ted drought this year and the so-called second repubric does not seem prepared for the impending disaster.

Government o cials continue making empty statements claiming that no one will starve.

Thousands of people are already going to bed without any meal and it is high time the government­s start taking these issues serious by spelling out speci c initiative­s to avert famine.

In neighbouri­ng Zambia, HH has already declared the drought situation a state of disaster in order to help mobilise resources for meaningful interventi­ons.

Here the Lacoste cabal is reluctant to declare Bulawayo water shortages a state of disaster despite repeated calls by Coltart to do so.

Declaring the water situation a state of disaster will help the city to mobilise resources for short to medium term interventi­ons.

The city’s supply dams have had very insigni cant in ows this year and with the high temperatur­es it is likely that the little water they are holding will be depleted before the next rainy season.

It will be very unstrategi­c for the government to wait until the situation has deteriorat­ed before it acts.

Leaders of Zimbabwe’s opposition in their various formations must hang their heads in shame following the ugly scenes at the burial of Moreblessi­ng Ali in Harare yesterday.

The slain CCC activist was being buried over two years after she was callously murdered in what is suspected to have been a politicall­y-motivated crime.

Instead of demonstrat­ing that they are di erent from Zanu PF, members of rival CCC camps loyal to Nero and Job respective­ly engaged in despicable behaviour.

They pummeled each other in front of the bereaved family. It is time for Nero and Job to show leadership by calling their supporters to order.

The two must denounce violence and promote coexistenc­e. Munopengaa­aaa

Last week, there was a story that thrust Dougie into the limelight for the wrong reasons.

We were told that his former mistress had gone to court seeking maintenanc­e for their nine-year-old child that he is neglecting.

How does Dougie expect to look after 16 million citizens when he cannot look after his own blood?

The story was poor advertisem­ent of his leadership credential­s. Those who aspire to lead us must demonstrat­e that they have the morals.
