Tsvangirai out of mansion – Bret Muvet

This message is directed at MDC-T itself and all those who support it.
The recent decision by the Junta to dismiss the MDC-T Mayor is indeed
unjustified and against the will of the people who overwhelmingly voted
for your party. Without doubt, you are the biggest opposition entity
currently in Zimbabwe politics.
However, Servants, this issue of council is really very straight forward,
and perhaps the recent action by the junta could be a blessing in
disguise.
In this council, where the people voted for MDC-T, who really makes the
policies and has the final decision? The answer to that is it is the junta
controlled ministry of Local Government. Added to that is the budget issue,
where the central government controlled by the Junta make sure they do not
finance anything that will reflect positively on the MDC-T. Further to
that, the opposition has always had the slogan of TONGAI TIONE.
Now Varanda, how are you going to make any meaningful difference in
council without a budget? No money for programs or any improvements due to
the junta moving finances to their own councils with their own people? How
do you make policy changes if they get shot down by the minister anyway?
And lastly why do you say tongai tione, when you are actually the ones
ruling in the cities?
You see, by being in charge of the cities, and the junta sabotaging the
running of those cities, all it does is show the voters that MDC-T is
useless. The city has no water, roads are bad, electricity is erratic, the
people are just told MDC-T is in control so blame them!!! Apa it’s the
minister and the Junta who are sabotaging council activities. You as MDC-T
are playing into the hands of the Junta. They control council, appoint
their cronies there and yet you get the blame when things go wrong!!
RESIGN EN MASS cadres!!!
Let them rule and see what happens. Siyanai navo. Don’t try and help a
junta stay in power. Get out of that mansion, take back those cars and
4x4s, remove yourselves from parliament, senate, any form of government.
TONGAI TIONE must be implemented strictly and you cant do that if you are
participating in the very Junta government.
If you continue on this path of participation in government, with no
meaningful ability to changes things, all you are doing is destroying the
MDCT brand even further.
That’s my 5 cents of advice. Take it, leave it, hameno ikoko.
