The decision to stage a coup to overthrow Mugabe was clearly calculated on the basis and reasons of the increased vulnerability of Mugabe’s decreased capacity generation of strategic leadership and coordination of his authoritarian rule.
Mnangangwa and Chiwenga were always a factor in Mugabe’s dictatorship and decision making.
Their decision to remove Mugabe was exercised with the blessing of China, Britain and South Africa who also wanted to see the back of Mugabe.
Britain wanted to facilitate a peaceful transition to democracy and unity to ensure its intention to invest in various fields such as mining and agriculture was guaranteed.
Mnangwagwa and Chiwenga had different objective and the intention was to take advantage of the vulnerability of the country and its citizens to ensure they guarantee their authority and power to even oppress the people more and keep them under control.
The events of August 31st 2018 and January 2019 were not a surprise, but a clear warning to the citizens and the entire world that the regime had not changed by the removal of Mugabe.
The removal of Mugabe was to ensure the regime stayed in power to entrench its militarisation of law enforcement and foster infiltration and subversion of citizen groups that could be forces of reform.
The case and treatment of Hopewell and Beatrice Mtetwa are signals that denotes the effects of tyrannical rule which are designed to inflict pain, stress, mental disorder, malnutrition, poverty, brutal attacks, persecution, death and suffering. The behaviour and conduct of the judiciary is the beginning of instituting a ruined society and country.
The tyrant Mnangangwa will continue to institute Judicial activism and continue to issue unconstitutional decisions from the benches across the country.
If citizens fail to build profound engagement, collaboration and strategic resistance mechanism compounded by great leadership, then we are to experience a brutal experience of poverty and suffering masses for a longtime.
Something has to be done now and a broader collective collaboration with profound leadership is needed urgently to inspire people to develop a positive impactive resistance to this brutal tyrant.
Constant focus on the tyrant other than our differences is a prerequisite for us to overcome this tyrant.
