By Wilbert Mukori|“President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who survived a blast at a ruling Zanu-PF party rally on Saturday, suggested he was the target of the attack which left one of his vice-presidents wounded,” reported AFP. “I am used to these attempts,” Mnangagwa said in his first comments on the explosion in the country’s second city of Bulawayo.
He said an object “exploded a few inches away from me – but it is not my time”.
President Mnangagwa’s reaction proves once again that he is a seasoned thug blundering from pillar to post with no clue where he is going, much less where he is taking the nation.
President Mnangagwa is failing to appreciate that the last 38 years of corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF rule have destroyed the country’s democratic institutions such as the Police, Army, ZEC, etc. hence the reason the country has completely failed to hold free and fair elections, maintain law and order, etc.
Zimbabwe is now a jungle in which the only law that counts is survival of the meanest.
The rich and powerful ruling elite have ridden roughshod over the ordinary people denying them their freedoms, human rights, hopes and dreams.
Amongst themselves, the rich and powerful are fighting each other like wild cats.
President Mnangagwa has himself finally acknowledged that Zanu PF has been rigging elections making peaceful democratic change impossible.
Indeed, last November’s military coup, which the coup plotters insisted was a “military assisted transition”, was proof there were no peaceful means to resolve leadership disputes within Zanu PF let alone at national level.
So, by stubbornly refusing to implement the democratic reforms every agreed at the onset of the 2008 GNU as necessary for free, fair and credible elections President Mnangagwa has confirmed that in post-coup Zimbabwe survival of the meanest is still the only law that rules the roost.
This year’s elections are being blatantly rigged just as has happened in the past.
With the door to free and fair elections still bricked shut, those behind the Saturday bombing have as much cause to seek a “military assisted transition” as last November’s coup plotter!
Zimbabwe is still a pariah state complete with the rigged elections, use of violence as the only means of achieving political change. “I am used to these attempts! ” That is all very well for you and your fellow Zanu PF thugs, you have developed thick skins and are used to all this chaos, corruption, vote rigging, violence, ice cream poisoning, military coups, bombs, etc. , etc.
The ordinary
Zimbabweans out do not have a thick skin and they are the ones who are paying dearly for the consequences of Zimbabwe being a pariah and lawless nation.
It is the four decades of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption by this Zanu PF dictatorship that is the root cause of the country’s economic meltdown.
Unemployment has soared to dizzying heights of 90%, ¾ of our people now live on US$1. 00 a day, etc.
This has resulted in heart-breaking human suffering and unnecessary deaths.
Mr President, this tragic human suffering and loss of life cannot be allowed to continue for another day. 🔗 Read Full Article
