Wilbert Mukori | “The new Vice Presidents are not only expected to perform, but to show results and that entails guarding against complacency. They have to drive the Ministers,” said President Mnangagwa after swearing in Chiwenga and Mohadi as the country’s two VPs.
“The performance of the Ministers will be reflected by the supervision given by the two Vice Presidents so the assessment of the two will be based on what comes out of our ministries.”
Excuse me, comrade ePresidente, you did not appoint VP Chiwenga and VP Mohadi for their ability and competence as leaders. So why are you expecting them to perform well in anything? Anyone familiar with the workings of the ZDF who know Chiwenga is not intelligent as he has struggled to pass all the many courses he has done and he has never shown any notable aptitude in anything worth writing home about. The only reason Robert Mugabe promoted Chiwenga to the dizzying height in the Army is the same reason the tyrant promoted many others in the Army, Government, etc. including Emmerson Mnangagwa himself is because Mugabe liked to surround himself with simpletons he can order around.
Constantino Chiwenga is a simpleton, a very corrupt one to boot! He did not build that C&M mansion from his wages as Commander of ZDF?
President Mnangagwa has appointed Chiwenga VP not because he is talented individual. Chiwenga is VP because that is his reward for risking life and limb in staging last month’s coup that forced Mugabe to finally relinquish power. Others like Perrance Shiri and Major General Sibusiso Moyo who took played a major role in the coup are Ministers in President Mnangagwa’s cabinet, their reward.
Chiwenga was the ring-leader of the November putsch and VP post is his reward, period.
If President Mnangagwa is serious about rescuing Zimbabwe from the economic mess Mugabe and his team – of whom Mnangagwa was a key member – has bequeathed the nation then he should know that country must be governed by competent leaders with some common sense, at least and not these corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs whose only claim to power is out of entitlement for their contribution during the struggle for independence.
Comrade ePresidente Mnangagwa, the povo of Zimbabwe were clearly fooled by the changes brought about by coup as seen by the thousands who march in support on 18 November and the throng who greeted you during your last visit in SA. The truth is the thinking world was not fooled.
“Zimbabwe is open for business!” you announce, ePresidente.
There has not been any Foreign Direct Investors knowing at our door in response. There will be none coming because these people are shrewd enough to know the removal of Mugabe, significant as it is, is not enough to prove the country has stopped being a lawless nation governed but competent and accountable leaders.
Indeed, the promotion of coup thugs like Chiwenga and Shiri into your cabinet tells the world the Zanu PF thugs are back in total control of the country. Nothing has changed!
Zimbabwe will not be ready to do business with the rest of the world until it proves there is rule of law. And there is no better way of proving there is rule of law than holding free, fair and credible elections. I do not see the likes of VP Chiwenga and Minister Shiri spearheading the implementation of the democratic reforms required to ensure free elections! A cabinet of coup plotters is not going to deliver democratic free, fair and credible elections. Never!

What about Mohadi? I have never heard of anything he did well. The first I noticed him is when he was telling the court that he had not made love to his wife since the MDC was created, and was suggesting a divorce, and she was saying she wants him as he is as making love is not everything in a marriage.
I wondered why the nation had to hear that and how the MDC had caused this situation.
Exactly!
The stage the coup to remove one dictators but only ti replace him with another!
I know Chiwenga’s talents – vote rigging, tyranny, staging coups and looting.
AND CUT RIBBONS
If you come into my house and defecate on the floor do you think I will applaud you for cleaning the mess? Hell no. I will take a knob-kerrie and break your skull. Zimbabweans should never ululate and applaud ED and his soldiers for the Mugabe cleansing. They just removed the foul smell for their own habitation & the shit (Bob) was their own creation!!!!!
They are showing it but you simply dont seem to see it.
President of Zimbabwe, is excellency comrade ED Mnangagwa , how many heads of states came to that historic inauguration of yours? ? I do not mean representatives, i mean heads of states? I think they were very few, that is a very bad sign. It looks like your government is not welcome both locally, regionally and internationally. People want a democratically chosen government through the ballot and not the gun.
Emmerson Mnangagwa is not a strategic thinker. You can tell by his choice of cabinet ministers.
The quality of education is Zimbabwe has dropped so low that those who can afford it are sending their children outside Zimbabwe. How many of Mugabe and his cronies’ children are studying in Zimbabwe!
He/she must also show that they will not abuse their position by helping rig elections and staging coups!
For anyone to hold public office he or she must be elected by the people in a free, fair and credible election and someone who have been involved in blatant vote rigging must never ever hold public office. Chiwenga has been involved in vote rigging and military coups; first one was to stop Tsvangirai to become president and then last month to remove Mugabe!
Most people will agree that Zimbabwe is in this political and economic mess because we have failed to hold free and fair elections all these last 37 years. Only someone who is naïve would expect this coup cabinet to implement any reforms to ensure free and fair elections.
I think you will find that throughout the world, vice presidents are appointed for one important attribute that they are never clever, talented, skilled, enough to upstage the president.
If these two were talented, they would not have been skilled. The president must shine brighter than his deputies who essentially do nothing to earn their money. They attend foreign trips such as weddings, funerals and unimportant conferences when the president cannot be bothered to attend.
Chiwenga has been Commander of ZDF and what has he done there? It is no secret that the Army has played a pivotal role in Zimbabwe’s rigged elections in the past. Most people know that it was Mnangagwa, Chiwenga and others who told Mugabe not to accept defeat in the 2008 elections and then went on to rig the recount to force the run-off and then use wanton violence to overturn Tsvangirai’s 73% to give Mugabe an 84% landslide victory. That was the first coup by Chiwenga and company, last month’s coup was the second.
Chiwenga is a lawless thug, period!
We really do not need to wait to see how Chiwenga will perform, we know what to expect from a thug. The nation is dying for free, fair and credible elections, that is the one thing this coup cabinet will never ever deliver!
wilbert mukori ,your commentaries are always biased and negative.All you see on other people apart from you,are incompetent to do every job they are assigned to do.The truth is its not just academic intellect only that qualifies a person to lead,no,no and no.Some people are born already ordained -LEADERS ,by the only creator of all humanity,who REALLY KNOWS each and every person ever created,this to include you ,the very naturally ,negatively biased commentator.!How can you just write off everyone before they even commence their appointed duties and portfolios.It doesnt always requires a university graduate to lead !Mark my word now,watch how they will perform,surprisingly,beyond and above people expected.
‘Trained very well’ kkkkkk ko ma Americans tozoti kudii manje. there is a big difference between shooting unarmed civilians who do not offer any resistance and shooting terrorists.
Bob gave us education , though he killed our economy the old man left us a legacy .We want to see what the better ones will achieve ,
timboona hedu
If someone manages 52000 men trained to kill very well what more skill are you looking for. Mugabe had lots of degrees but what did he offer us since 20 years ago
True he s quite daft almost committed suicide when he flunked exams and it was going to compromise promotion
This article is spot on!
Kind of lost. Please educate me the requisite skills that VPs must posses. Lets do job profiles and set the qualifications thereafter
