© EDITOR — I have recently been emailed links to three issues of democracy.
Two are in respect of China and the other Zimbabwe. Corruptionforce has noted that Zanu PF has close links to China but is this a good thing for Zimbabwe given that two other Chinese-linked lands Hong Kong and Taiwan have problems with China’s anti democracy stance?
The pro-democracy movement is solid. The choice between democracy and one-party dictatorship is increasingly coming under debate.
The looting of diamonds on the Chiadzwa / Marange diamond fields is believed to have been facilitated by the Chinese people.
We ask why is Zanu PF aligning itself with these people when they defrauded Zimbabwe of foreign currency?
I have repeatedly said that Zanu PF will do anything not to lose power because of all the corruption and murder that it will be exposed for.
The bigwigs are all in the game together. That is why Jonathan Moyo’s Excelgate book is so timely. It shows the lengths that Zanu PF went to so that it could remain in power. The rigging is significant and totally supports the stance of the UK, USA and EU that the Zimbabwe Elections of 2018 were not free and fair.
That Mnangagwa and others can deny this is a farce and a disgrace to the leadership of Zimbabwe. It is simple, Zanu PF has no ethics. They are morally and ethically bankrupt.
I say to all Zimbabweans be careful of China’s one belt one road policy it could lead to a serious debt trap and Zimbabwe will be beholden to China.
Zimbabwe will have been covertly colonised by the Chinese. As they say don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Being a Chinese colony is frightening, just ask Hong Kong and Taiwan. Democracy and the rule of law are much better bed fellows.
The current government keeps blaming sanctions for Zimbabwe’s problems, which underscores their ability to stand up and be counted for all the rigging, looting, lying, deceit, brutality and corruption that they have carried out over 40 years.
They are the ones that got Zimbabwe into the mess that it finds itself. It is pure incompetence and mismanagement by Zanu PF, and not the USA, UK and EU who they continually blame, that has caused the suffering and misery that the povo find themselves in. Zimbabwe should be thankful for all the aid that the USA, UK and EU taxpayers provide.
The infrastructure that the British built while they were settling and educating all people ( Shona and Ndebele) has been mismanaged and allowed to run down because Zanu PF was too busy thinking of all the scams of how to steal and loot money out of the country. Most Zanu PF bigwigs are all crooks and thieves.
We say to all Zimbabweans guard your Constitution carefully, demand the rule of law and independence of the Judiciary.
You need other “policeman” to keep an eye on things. The Constitution is only six years old and you can already see the frustration of the current government with complying with the laws. Its is selective application of the law and not free, fair and independent judgment.
