flames of anger...Joice Mujuru
flames of anger…Joice Mujuru

Matabeleland based Joice Mujuru’s Zimbabwe People First party supporters have expressed anger and disappointment at the former Vice President’s selection of her party’s management committee which has only one person from the region.
Addressing journalists at her much awaited press conference on Tuesday, Mujuru announced an interim party leadership which she called her management committee that only included Esnath Bulayani from Bulawayo as the only person from the Matabeleland regions.
The supporters were further infuriated by the fact that the leadership of the so called inclusive party was made up of predominantly former ZANU PF members who are all men.
Included in the team are what the members described as “spent forces ” such as former ZANU PF legislators Didymus Mutasa, Dzikamai Mavhaire, Rugare Gumbo, Brighton Matonga, Kudakwashe Bhasikiti among others.
“We cannot allow revival of old spent former ZANU PF forces to lead the party otherwise people will not have confidence in the party,” complained a member.
In a social media discussion, the supporters called on Mujuru to immediately revise her management team to show the inclusiveness of the party she has always been talking about.
“We might just be on our way to being used to formulate ZANU PF 2,” wrote one member.
“Where are our people in this set up? We didn’t even see their faces at the press conference but only the ZANU PF group,” he added.
Announcing the establishment of her new party at the press conference, Mujuru said that it is not an offshoot of ZANU PF but a new organisation inclusive of people from all political parties and regions in the country.

  1. Expecting inclussiveness from Mujuru’s ZPF is akin to expecting Satan to preside over a Christian congregation. Mujuru is Zanu PF to the core and as such inclusiveness is allien to her and infact does not exist in her vocabulary.Hence, Zimbabweans should consider staying in their genuine political homes for democratic change rather than beeing taken for a ride by this Zanu PF offshoot made up of the former guerrilla movement rejects masquerading as born agan democrats.

  3. I am siding with Mai Mujuru but I think people are overreacting and just her too quickly. The article also seems to be sensational because besides Buyalani there are Mthuseli Moyo and Christopher ndiweni. What we might miss in our judgement is that influential people in the southern regions of the country might be watching the direction of events for now. Some might still be in Zanu pf fearing to make themselves known in case they lose property they might have acquired. Let us give this party some more time but we must never lower our guard as we did with Zanu pf. The noise that people are making in the formative stage of the party is quite in order. Let us keep up the pressure on them. Whilst the elders like Mutasa and Gumbo are useful in the formative stages of the party, I strongly feel that they must eventually make way for younger and cleaner blood. Zanu pf tainted them. Mai Mujuru can also do better by heading the party and government (if she wins) for a maximum of five years. her biggest tasks in her five years of leading should be to create a much more democratic culture in Zimbabwe and lay a strong foundation for economic revival and progress. She should be mandela and Obama in one. After that she must hand over leadership to someone younger and potentially more creative than her. And she should be scouting talent in her party even before going into office. I think this time around Zimbabweans want to see a proper succession plan. Leaders can come from anywhere in Zimbabwe. i do not care what tribe they are. I want a capable and people-centred leader, fullstop.

  5. I think abantu basuka belahleke emcabangweni. Why do we need to be distracted by these crazy claims. thina esikufunayo for now is a party that will kick ukhulu lowana esihlalweni then the rest sizakulungisa phambili. why create unnecessary fights kanti. lingenzi njengabantu be ZANU lina mani aliboni yini?

  6. Wena lalela la. You should not be supporting this Gukurahundi nonsense of tribalism when yena uMnangagwa is being kicked right in the backside while you people watch. Instead you should be joining Mthwakazi in fighting for real representation of all of Zimbabwe’s people. What is Zezuru unconquerable? What nonsense is that? Go read the constitution of Zim and tell me where it says a Karanga cannot be President; sithuthandini!!

  10. Yaah Lizokunya. Too much othathekile imoto zama……….!!

  12. maNdebele eselihohobisana lesitha, lamaGUKURAHUNDI — wherever they show their bloodied hands and whatever disguise they come — sizalibuza kusasa!!!!
    lisiphendule bafethu!!! Sometimes – and often – the original crime pales to insignificance when put alongside the subsequent crime of some victims trying to say the original crime was no crime after all … ALL FOR MONEY! (yona yiphi!). Being stabbed by one’s own bafethu: et tu Brute!!
    nampa Mthwakazi, nanzi impimpi zakithi…as usual, each with his or her own phony ‘justification’ for their betrayal !!! When uMthwakazi has never been more under siege, and when uMthwakazi has never needed a better time to cuddle together for that FINAL PUSH, we get this from some of our own … breaking rank AFTER we collectively saw Gukurahundi off in the 1980’s …!!!!
    These are no longer sell-outs, but co-owners of the original crime – Gukurahundi Genocide – and the original political crime of strapping uMthwakazi’s necks on the lynching trees of this Shona empire that has masqueraded as Zimbabwe for the past 36 years!!
    Own those crimes ke bafethu sibone …!!!! NguMthwakazi lo, who saw itself through King Shaka, through colonial brutality (and genocides!), through Smith, through Muzorewa, through Mugabe … and now through the new dictatorship being carved — again — to oppress uMthwakazi!!
    Again we will say: uMthwakazi has no made-up or stolen history, carved heroes and heroines, commandeered ‘truths’, soothsayers (or witches) for politicians; or paper kingdoms!
    UMthwakazi is a continuing history — a progressing story — of a nation and people carved and being carved out of the foundry of political adversity. UMthwakazi is history alive and the future living today! What waits to emerge at the end of that is a Mthwakazi Nation that can only be an Mthwakazi Nation!! Choose your side (and there are sides to choose here maNdebele)!!
    Do you think the now annual King Mzilikazi Celebrations have gone un-noted???

  14. I don’t understand this, is being expelled from zanupf means you are spend, who did you want to form PF if it was not these? I am missing something here. Did you want Morgan Tsvangirayi, Welshman Ncube, Tendai Biti, Mangoma and Makoni to form PF?
