Yesterday’s events at Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House where the illegitimate Emmerson Mnangagwa regime unleashed rogue police elements to unleash violence on innocent citizens is a clear reminder that military dictatorship has totally usurped the liberation war agenda.
Reading from the colonial book where colonial regimes would unleash their repressive state apparatuses on their very own people, Emmerson Mnangagwa unleashed a ruthless semi military police force to beat up women and children including those on their mothers’ backs.
Reminiscent of Ian Smith’s mabhurakwachas that were infamous for their brutality on fellow citizens, Mnangagwa’s semi military police force ran riot at MDC offices beating up and spraying teargas on its very own citizens.
Just like other post colonial regimes elsewhere in Africa like Idi Amin and Mobutu Sese Seko’s military regimes, Mnangagwa’s ‘New Dispensation’ has proved to be nothing more than a cabal of petty comprador bourgeoisie whose mental horizon is only driven by greedy and neocolonialism agenda.
As rightly posited by Fanon’s revolutionary scholarly writings, this clique that purpots to be torchbearers of the liberation agenda via Mgagao nonsense has proved to be nothing more than Black Skin in White Masks!
They have copied everything and forget nothing from the colonial state!
For them, to be is to be like them!
Just like as Ian Smith’s colonial regime butchered natives at Chimoio and Nyadzonio, Emmerson Mnangagwa’s native comprador regime has guts to spray live ammunition on its defenseless citizens as was the case on 01 August 2018.
Whereas Smith used the draconian LOMA to ban demonstrations, Mnangagwa has a perfected piece of repressive legislation called MOPA that he uses to quash and mop up any dissenting voices.
While the liberation agenda is about social egalitarianism, Mnangagwa’s comprador bourgeoisie regime never cares about what people want as it is an elite class that is driven by self-political interest to siphon the country of its mineral resources.
Following the neocolonialism agenda, Mnangagwa’s ‘New Dispensation’ is virtually becoming a conduit that connects Asian and Gulf countries to our precious mineral resources in exchange for guns and chemical weapons to be used against our people.
While the revolution and the liberation agenda was about dismantling colonial legacies, Mnangagwa through the military have successfully established neocolonialism via a farcical ‘Operation Restore Legacy’.
It is overt that Mnangagwa is an antithesis of the Liberation Agenda and clearly has no place in the National Democratic Agenda.
Already ED has been judged and found guilty of crimes against humanity by the ever dependable court of public opinion and just like his fellow native compradors of the past, the end is nigh!
