Allies fed up with Chamisa’s dictatorship

AS chickens continue coming home to roost, one of the opposition’s key advisers, Dr Pedzisai Ruhanya, is the latest academic to show that he is fed up with Nelson Chamisa’s dictatorial tendencies.

He was scathing and ruthless in his assessment of little Chamisa. In a series of tweets headlined, “Nelson Chamisa is a dictator”, Dr Ruhanya wrote: “Decisions in politics make sense when they are collective and reflect the will of the people politicians represent.

“When you find yourself thinking you know everything, you can dribble and hurt everyone and that only your ideas matter, then you are precipitating into dictatorship.

“Machiavellian politics don’t work in the modern age because they are contradictory to democratic principles.

“You can’t be Machiavelli and a democrat at the same time, its contradictory, its oxymoronic, it’s an aberration.

“Differences are not bad for democracy; they nourish democratic practices.

“In politics, don’t expect to be surrounded by friends.

“Even in church, differences occur but what makes the church an enduring institution is the capacity of the leaders to manage differences institutionally.

“I represent myself and myself only. I don’t speak on behalf of anyone but Pedzisai.

“Don’t associate myself with things I don’t know. I love my independence. I can’t survive an hour in any political party because I am allergic to stupid things. I can never say Fanta is Coke because a particular leadership says so.”

Finally, Dr Ruhanya has sobered up and is seeing the little Chamisa that we saw since he violently grabbed the MDC from its rightful owners.

I have said it a million times that Chamisa is a danger to himself and his party, CCC. He is a danger to democracy.

Surely, how can this little boy think he is so popular and his politics so sweet that he can run a one-man show against the tried and tested ZANU PF?

He is too big-headed and sickeningly reckless.

The arrogance is nauseating. London-based political and economic analyst Brighton Musonza added his voice, saying: “Going into a national election without congress and structures means anything you pledge to deliver is not a shared vision; it’s desktop fiction that has not been debated or let alone tested for validation and verification. You are imposing your views and so you’re a dictator.”

Unfortunately, Chamisa will not listen. He is too drunk with imagined power. If imagined power is making him this drunk, what will real power do to him?

If imagined power is making him such a dictator, what will he do with real power? While little Chamisa continues staggering under the mistaken belief that he is on his way to State House, the ZANU PF machinery is being oiled. Anyone who knows the history of ZANU PF will tell little Chamisa that the game is over before it has even begun.

When the ZANU PF juggernaut finally rolls into town, Chamisa will not know what has hit him.
