YOUR TIME IS UP! Stand down gracefully from Zimbabwe politics at once!
Nomazulu Thata|You have become irrelevant to the politics of Zimbabwe Runaida Mujuru! Your dignity is on the line; please preserve what you can right now before it is too late. You need to die a hero dear Comrade Runaida Mujuru. You are now and present and in the future painfully irrelevant to Zimbabwe politics. You lost it long back the past 34 years: you will never win back what you lost years ago by whatever means. You have credentials to guard upon enviously: military and politically. Musarasazvese Mainini Joyi! The times they are changing: have changed for the younger generation to take over from where we did not get it correct.
This is the moment where we think we have failed and we must pass on the baton to the next generation: our children and grand children. We must learn to swallow our pride dear Runaida. We must tell ourselves that we have aged. The politics of today is not of our age but younger generations. What you are doing with Rugare Gumbo and Didymus Mutasa is out of this world. Murikizvinyadzisa pamberi peZanu PF. Ko hamunyare here nhai nhai? Ini pachangu ndazokunyarirayi zvekuti, because what you are doing zvinonyadzisa zvachose! You need to stop it at once: all of you put together; Mutasa, Gumbo and Margaret Dongo. You all have farms to make use of and produce so that we have food securities in our country; what then do you want in politics at your ages?
Was your expulsion in Zanu PF not embarrassing enough? You continue to embarrass yourselves pamberi pe Zanu kuti igokusekai full time! This is a mess of a situation. Take yourselves out of this nonsense by leaving politics for the younger generation.
Amai Mujuru, please you are no longer relevant in this political discourse: me too. The global politics has changed dramatically, it needs the younger generation of Evan Mawarire’s age; Nelson Chamisa, your own Prosper Gavanga, Thulani Nkala, Mbonisi Gumbo and all those young politicians in our political landscape: all these young people who are in the political limelight can move Zimbabwe to dizzy heights.
Whether we want it or not the only way out of the whole national mess is to give them the space to take this country Zimbabwe to another level. We must concede defeat; we failed, we must acknowledge this failure so that we move on. We cannot be talking about hondo ye Chimurenga in 2017. No Amai Mujuru those days passed and you cannot, never recapture lost glories. You were relevant when you were in Mozambican camps back then, in the government for 34 years but not now. Did you not enjoy power for those big years in the government?
We have Trump as President of USA and not Barack Obama. We have Theresa May as Prime Minister of the UK and not Margaret Thatcher. We have Angela Merkel and not Helmut Kohl, we have Vladimir Putin and not Leonid Brezhnev: we have President Lungu and not President Kenneth Kaunda, we have John Magufuli and not Dr. Julius Mwalimu Nyerere; we have youthful hopeful Comrade Julius Malema and not Nelson Mandela. Where do you fit in with these current politicians Amai Mujuru? You are far from their current thinking and you will never capture the prevailing moods.
What is your relevance in all these global crop of leadership dear Runaida Mujuru? What politics can you tell them and they will listen to you? The answer is none whatsoever! Do not replicate Kaddafi of Libya who clung on to power even if all signs were telling that his time is over. Please do not give anybody a chance to remove you violently like Kaddafi, your military credentials are well worth to respect and preserve them at all cost. Please do not lose them carelessly because of love and lust of political power.You should know by now that you lost it long back you will never get it again by whatever means.
But you worked with Zanu PF for 34 years and you know the devil we are fighting at the present moment. The monster is a monster as you know it. Do not waste time with those little fightings with Mutasa and Rugare Gumbo. Those are not worth even mentioning: the main enemy is Zanu PF. You were part of it and you know how enormous this monster is.
Why are you wasting time, telling all and sundry that Rugare and Mutasa are Zanu PF agents? Who is going to listen to that rubbish nhai amainini Joyi! Mutasa and Rugare can never be Zanu PF agents better than you dear Runaida. If Rugare is an agent of Zanu PF so are you too but double: you are a CIO agent we know this too from many sources. You will never remove yourself from that organisation either than death you know this! You are all baked of the same flour and baking powder with Mutasa and Gumbo. It is a pity you lost it you were kicked out of the party and you never voluntarily left the party. You can never talk a different politics from Zanu PF and we shall at no time listen to you and believe you: never.
Going for elections is a forgone disaster for your party Zim PF. Even after being kicked out of Zanu PF you still believed in Robert Mugabe as your Father and Mentor for a long time. You thought he was going to call you back, it did not happen. Do not tell us cheap politics Runaida, we are very intelligent and too educated a people as you know all graduates from most Zimbabwe Universities have credible degrees and not forged by any means like the First Lady Grace Mugabe: you do not show any signs that you command a doctorate degree either. (This is not my topic today to split and question your academic credentials but your political credentials are questionable indeed).
You said you want to be the bridge of the NTA: but that NTA is to be an administration done by academic experts only and never by politicians. You do not qualify to be in the NTA transition by whatever means. In the transition we need the Strife Masiyiwas, Nkosana Moyos, Professor Rudo Gaidzanwa: such like academic personalities who will be able to execute duties in a professional way: Those ambassadors will not execute political decisions but expert decisions in preparations for the free and fair elections. Dear Runaida, you cannot be part of this group because you are from a political party that rules you off from being part of the NTA group.
Runaida Joice Teurai Ropa Mujuru: your time is up, please go and rest with your grand children.
What you and me should do now is to identify young potential politicians in our societies, we pass on the baton in a dignified manner and tell them to love our country and guard against all evil it may befall a country. Let’s swallow our pride and approach young politicians like Nelson Chamisa, Evan Mawarire, Simba Makoni, Mbonisi Gumbo, Sibangilizwe Nkomo, Thokozile Mkwananzi, Tsitsi Dangarebga, Christopher Mlalazi, Noviolet Bulawayo, Sandra Ndebele, Mbikokayise Mpofu : all those young dynamic hopefuls in our societies to come forward and change our world for the better. If they are short of the qualities we want we shall mentor them and they will deliver better than we did.
This is true! Going into the next elections with no reforms is now a No way!
ZimPF are clearly in no position to stop Zanu PF vote rigging or do anything to make vote rigging difficult. So to contest the next elections without anyway of trying to monitor Zanu PF vote rigging activities effectively is like walking into a lion’s den without even a stick to keep the lion from you!
If she got back into power her top priority will be to take up the looting from wherever she stopped when she was booted out of Zanu PF. We want leaders whose top priority will be to restart the economy for the good of us all!
Power is sweet and absolute power in which one does not have to worry about the uncertainty of losing the vote is the sweetest of all. Mai Mujuru and her ZimPF friends were used to absolute power and handing it to anyone else is very hard to do!
Wilbert, this time we are really sailing in the same boat. I think our opposition basket of tomatoes is full of red spider mite stricken tomatoes. If we look at the main opposition MDC-T its a reciprocal of ZANU PF where the youthful voices are suppressed and with autocratic type of leadership where decisions are just dictated. Tsvangirai is very sick and needs a rest but just like his President Mugabe, he still thinks that he is the best candidate to lead the struggle. Im really surprised honestly with how this old man thinks. He still thinks that, he is still a youth but the opposite is true he is old and sick just like Mugabe. Tsvangirai wasted a lot of time and resources holding his political crusades around the country in garnering support for a coalition to be led by a tired and sick man(Him). He was supposed to take the crusade as farewell gathering and uniting his cadres who once left him and possibly tell them not to repeat the same mistake which led for the split. Tsvangirai is now a pregnant horse whom we cant bet with.
On the other hand, only fools believed in ZIMPF, what did you expect from this blood party? In conclusion I want to thank Noma for this piece of document.
Joyce Mujuru, you joined the liberation movement but we are not sure of what you actually did. You joined government and you were like that plant that grows on other trees. You sit there and grow but you did not contribute to anything and you developed nothing.
Then you started a party full of failed zanu cadres. Of course this cannot be accepted. But you seem to have floated around doing othng much until now. Your advisors advised you to offload these failed cadres and you have done that…. a step i the right direction.
What we want to see is you using the money that your husband extorted from people [in business] for charity work. We want to see you SPENDING your hundreds of millions for the good of people in matabeleland and elsewhere… but mainly in Matabeleland.
If you use your money for the people many will actually believe you. But now with your millions gained by your extortionist husband, with you not doing anything with that money, we simply do not believe you.
We must learn to judge the value of someone as a national leader on the basis of what they have to offer regardless of their tribe, religion, gender, age, etc. We have had the great misfortune of having someone who has attached himself to State House like a binnacle, even now when he cannot stand and dozes off if he sits down!
What we must remember is that he has stayed in power all these 37 years not because the people elected him but because he rigged elections. Our challenge is to stop vote rigging and make sure elections are free, fair and credible.
The people must then focus on electing the best candidates most likely to help the nation advance for the next five years before the next elections. Given a free vote, we can be certain the people will never elect someone councillor much less State President who cannot stand up and dozes off if they sit down! By the same token the people will never vote freely elect someone State President just because she is G40 regardless of her reputation as an empty drum with an insatiable greed for power and looted wealth.
When Mai Mujuru & co. were booted out of Zanu PF many people welcomed them into the opposition camp with open arms for two reasons:
1) people thought they will inject some quality in the opposition whose performances had been so pathetic as it was crowded with corrupt and incompetent individuals. We were told they were no longer the corrupt and incompetent individual of their Zanu PF past.
2) people thought Mai Mujuru & co. were the game-changer come the elections because they will stop Zanu PF rigging the next elections because they, as ex-members of the regime, would know how the party rigged elections and do something to stop it.
ZimPF has just imploded in a real spectacular way, with Mujuru summarily booting out so many of the party’s bigwigs and they in turn disowning her. The whole sad event has lighted that she and her ex-Zanu PF friends have not changed, they are the same corrupt, incompetent whose only care is to get back on the gravy train, contrary to what some people had said.
Now we know ZimPF have brought more greed and confusion in the opposition camp and not the focus and order we had hoped.
ZimPF people did not do anything to stop Zanu PF threaten the villagers and then frog march them to the polling station to vote for Zanu PF. The ZimPF candidate and his chief back, Makova were the Zanu PF candidates in 2001 and played the same dirty tricks and yet they were helpless in stopping Zanu PF repeat them.
Mai Mujuru and her ZimPF are corrupt and incompetent, we knew that from their pathetic 34 years in Zanu PF. We should have never welcomed them in the opposition camp. We must stop this dirty habit of recycling corrupt and incompetent individuals because we are too lazy to search for quality leaders!
Before putting out ZimPF to pasture they must explain how they amassed their vast fortunes at a time when millions were forced into abject poverty. These leaders whose hands are red with innocent blood must know they have some explaining to do.
The people of Zimbabwe must now accept the political reality that ZimPF are not the game-changer they thought they will be. The only real hope of stopping Zanu PF rigging next year’s elections is by demanding the implementation of the democratic reforms. We must demand of the sell-out MDC politicians to honour their party pledge of “No reform, no elections!”
Free, fair and credible elections is not just a basic human right and not a privilege but more significantly it is our only way to achieve regime change and, with it, hope of economic recovery.
That’s true,
