“Mujuru is an outstanding female guerrilla and is in a class of her own. She is certainly the most known and most decorated [freedom fighter] and her late husband, Solomon Mujuru, was a liberation war hero with no equal,” Tendai Biti said.
“The way that she has been removed from the party leadership points to [the fact] that one has to be crazy to try to invest in a predatory country like ours.”
The trouble with people like Tendai Biti is they cannot tell the woods from the trees then here and now from yesteryear.
Mai Mujuru has not been purged from the party because she is NOT “the most known and decorated freedom fighter”. She has been accused of being corrupt and incompetent, amongst other things. Is Biti saying because she is “the most etc., etc.” she cannot therefore be corrupt and incompetent? Or is he saying because she is “the most etc., etc.” she can be as corrupt and incompetent as she wants it does not matter?
There is no question that Mai Mujuru is corrupt; how else did she earn her huge fortune!
As for Mai Mujuru’s politically incompetence her political record speaks for itself. She has been in government as a deputy minister or minister for 24 years and as VP for the last 10 years; she must bear some of responsibility for all the evil committed by this tyrannical regime including the politically motivated murder of over 30 000 innocent Zimbabweans. She has sat there like a cabbage and did nothing to stop any of these crimes.
“If Zanu-PF can’t talk among themselves in order to settle disputes, then how will they talk to investors, and what of property rights and the rule of law? The impact is that no one can touch a government like ours, which behaves in a barbaric manner,” said Tendai Biti.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The penny has finally dropped, Tendai Biti has finally realised that Zanu PF has no respect for rule of law. May be in another fifty years Mr Biti and his MDC friends will realise that Zanu PF is a party of corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs.
Mr Tendai Biti, Morgan Tsvangirai, Welshman Ncube, David Coltart and the other MDC leaders were tasked to implement the democratic reforms designed to dismantle the Zanu PF dictatorship and restore the people’s basic freedoms and rights and to deliver free, fair and credible elections. They have five years to do so and failed to implement even one reform. Not even one reform! Now we know why; they did not want the Zanu PF dictatorship dismantled because, as far as they are concerned, it is not a party of corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs!
Corruption is certainly one of the biggest problems in Zimbabwe, the root cause behind the economic meltdown and therefore the Mount Everest unemployment rate, the 16% or 2 million now living in abject poverty, etc. To even suggest that anyone guilty of corruption should be let off the hook is to betray the millions of innocent Zimbabweans who no jobs, cannot afford even one decent meal a day, etc.; they are the real victims of corruption.
Corruption is a very serious crime and anyone guilty of corruption must be punished. In the Zimbabwe we want, no one is above the law, absolutely no one – yes even “the most known and most decorated [freedom fighter]” – is above the law.
Of course Tendai Biti may be defending Mai Mujuru to court her and her followers to join up with him and Professor Ncube to bolster their recently formed United MDC. No doubt her looted wealth would help the cash strapped UMDC; given that the donors who had funded the different MDC factions left in droves last year in protest at the MDC leaders’ incompetence in failing to get even one democratic reform implemented.
Mr Biti you have betrayed the people of Zimbabwe by failing to implement the reforms and thus stop Zanu PF rigging the elections and so too has Mai Mujuru by being part and parcel of this corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship. You are teaming up now because you are both keen to get back on the gravy train; you do not care about the suffering ordinary people but only pretend to because you need their votes. You are both hypocrites; it is important that you remember that and, more significantly, that the people remember that and not be conned again!

We need to see failed leaders for what they are and have the courage to kick them out!
Evidence of corruption please! Repeating the facesaving rumour started by a desperate thief does not make it a fact.
Iwe, kwana na God wako akutuma. Gire anoita sei? Enda ku misha dzemuMazoe unotaura zvauri kunyora pano tiwone kuti God wako anokununura here, na Gire wako. Get ma facts first and then wozonyora, haikona kuverenga Herald woti ndavakuziva zvirikuitika muno. Grace is champion for increase in our poverty and the destitution of our Mazoe grandchildren. Her contribution to ZImbabwe is the extension of our poverty, pain and suffering . ABGOB (Anyone But Gire Or Bo) is better.
What fortune are you going on about? Mpofu admits to be rich, Gire admits to Gracelands, Gushungo dairies and more. Ya Mai Mujuru in her personal capacity ndeipi mari yacho. She said it openly to all ZImbabweans ingawani. Ane nyaya ne umbowo wekuba ngaende kuZRP.
Never mind them Wilbert they are possessed by the same demon -we do not sympathise with a corrupt individual who has been part and parcel of this regime for the past 34 years. Mujuru hands are dripping with blood like that of her zpf colleagues -she has a number of scandals on her belt such leaders are a threat to the society.
Amasela kabotshwe if she made to account for her corrupt dealing it means the number is subtracted the rest their time of reckoning shall come.
All these politicians Joyce Mujuru, Tendai Biti and Morgan Tsvangirayi are greedy, corrupt and complete failures. Our only hope for a better Zimbabwe is with Amai Mugabe the champion for the poor, the orphans and the needy. May God Bless her and all Zimbabwe. Let’s also not forget about the likes of Julius Nyerere of Tanzania who also deserves praise for their contribution in eradicating porverty and fighting for the poor. AMEN
mupanduki aka wilbert aka siphalaphala you are the one who mentioned camaraderie first
Tell the nation that Tsvangirai and Biti wasted the chance to bring about democratic change and that if they want real change then they must stop electing incompetent idiots like Tsvangirai and murderous tyrant like Mugabe. That is a real challenge given that we have a nation who will rather follow blindly like sheep than stop and think for one minute! This is not something I would expect those with the mentality of sheep to appreciate much less to do – thinking is not their forte!
In other words since so many people were murdered during Gukurahundi days, for example, and no one was ever arrested it is now ok to murder? And you telling me I am the one who is foolish!
wonekwa uchi ita compile that list tione…….you are dreaming! there was a bulawayo guy who wanted to display gukurahundi pictures at the art gallery, he spent a good time behind bars and a gud few years paying bail now and then
How does being beaten change the country’s affairs? you seem to enjoy it, were where you when Dzamara was beaten. did it have any effect? Its nothing new there is a long list of people who have been beaten, some even beaten to death, eg Gukurahundi. so save us from your noisy Dzamara mantra
That the Mujurus are wealthy cannot be doubted and this is largely because of the late General’s business ventures. So far the allegations against the VP simply do not stick.This is political persecution, as Charamba said. There are more corrupt people on the other side. The list is too long to mention….
Vana masimirebwa vanochengetwa avo vakaita sei, Mpfu’s gang of Dimonds? imi kaimi, chapita pamunzako chapita mawa chili kwaiweee.
While Biti is wrong, I also disagree with Wilbert about his reasons for Mujuru’s dismissal from party leadership. Mujuru is corrupt as many Zimbabweans know, however, precedents shows that people are not dismissed from Zanu PF leadership for corruption. Power politics is the real reason for her dismissal. This exposure of corruption was simply to legitimize her dismissal.
As for incompetence, is Wilbert really serious that she could have been dismissed for that? Did the other vice presidents Muzenda, Msika and John Nkomo do any better than Mujuru? Further, did Mugabe himself do any better than his vice Presidents. It’s common knowledge that Mugabe has been recycling the same ministers since independence, save for a few newcomers.
I have no problem with what you are saying Wilbert about the general situation in Zimbabwe because I know it’s information passed on to you because iwewe personally hauna zvaunoziva ….. You are doing a job you are being paid for . Please be serious now and give us list of names of the 20 or 30 thousand so called Gukurahundi victims . Please tipei list yema zita acho so the country can know who and who so RIP . If you know them it will help the families come to terms with their dear departed loved ones . Why are you not talking about the ones who lost their lives in Victory Camp in Zambia & the Chimoio victims in Mozambique ? Please let these issues rest as we want peace in this country …can’t you see what is happening in Somalia , South Sudan etc… You journalists are troublesome .
@Wilbert. Your reasoning is foolish to say the least. If you study law a little you will learn that for the law to become law, it must be applied consistently at all times. So the same scrutiny being applied to the VP must be applied to all otherwise it is discrimination. We all know (including yourself) that her crime was supposedly aspiring for the highest office in the land, which we all know that it is not a crime. The pretext that they are trying to deal with corruption is superficial and can only be beleived by the uneducated and the gullible.
And what is your contribution to this struggle for freedom that Tsvangirai and Biti wasted?
If MDC failed to implement not even one reform when the two factions had the majority in parliament, the backing of SADC as the guarantors of the GNU and five years to do so it is naive to think they will do so now when Zanu PF has all the trump cards!
If none of the MDC leaders appreciated the importance of the democratic reforms during the GNU years; what has happened since then to make them change – other than their desire to get back on the gravy train!?
“Morgan had an opportunity to do good for the country but he wasted it,” since Biti worked with Tsvangirai during the GNU they must surely share the responsibility for the wasted opportunity?
This is not a beauty contest where you either vote for Mujuru or Grace Mugabe and/or her husband. Mai Mujuru was until recently a senior member of Zanu PF and therefore she, Mugabe, Mutasa, Mnangagwa and all the other Zanu PF leaders are responsible for all the corruption, beatings, rapes and murders that have happened in the country. Just because her former fellow thugs has turned on her does not mean she was not one of them!
Mai Mujuru is corrupt, acknowledging that reality does not mean that Grace or her hisband are not corrupt, they are. The fact that they are corrupt and are accusing Mai Mujuru of a crime of which they too are guilty of is irrelevant when it comes to deciding her fate.
and where were YOU when Dzamara was beaten.?
And I have a thing for you too Mupanduki, where was Biti when Dzamara was abducted and beaten to near death? Was Biti not present when Tsvangirai became president of the party? What makes him think that as president of UMDC or whatever this time he has the power to armtwist Zanu PF to renegotiate reforms which he failed as THE leader representative of the party he now hates so much?
mm mukori you are jealous person.in your writing you have shown that you hate mai mujuru to the core and you have also shown that you lick grace mugabe’s arse….you are a licker and you should remain licking and stop trying to make yourself a political analyst….lick lick…im sure you will get a position in grace’s government after the congress…
You are so sick my brother and no wonder why Mugabe keeps on urinating on you guys . Biti is giving his own opinion , Morgan had an opportunity to do good for the country but he wasted it . Mai Mujuru ndizvo and give us proof not about her kids and her relatives , do you think if these guys had something tangible she could be home now , let’s think and not have Chicken brains manipulated by the professor.
You just hate Tendai because he is your age who had guts to challenge Morgan , a thing not familiar with narrow minded Zimbabwe who believed leaders should fossilize vari pazvigaro .
