Prof Welshman Ncube’s comments on BCC goings-on

We never learn.

Less than 2 yrs ago some among us were busy cheering and ululating the unconstitutional overthrow of the Mugabe regime and fantasizing that his storm troopers would usher in a new era of democracy and economic prosperity and here we are witnessing Byo repeat same mistake

Today a strange coalition of seemingly well meaning residents and organisations are once again cheering and urging July Moyo to do a coup against an elected Council and install an unelected Commission just because we have been offended by the actions of a tiny minority of the Councilors.

One is easily reminded of the old adage of a drowning man clinging to a serpent.

Those who are busy hallucinating that ZANU PF will appoint a professional Commission for Byo will be rudely awakened when they learn that ZANU PF never hands over any power except to its incompetent self.

What ever are the mistakes we have made as MDC or as Councillors they are all capable of correction and rectification by us within the democratic ethos without inviting a coup government to do a coup against an elected Council.

How I wish we could learn the lessons of history.
