No going back on Zimbabwe GNU

I believe in progressive debate. We are at a point in Zimbabwe where some people are asking questions l sincerely think are the wrong ones,i.e should we pull out of the GNU? Rather we should be asking how to survive and maybe thrive in the GNU. It is practically counterproductive to begin to talk about pulling out now. Whilst l sympathize with those who feel ZANU PF doesn't deserve to be the senior partner, l don't agree with those who want to pull out now. It is too late. Those who want to pull out assume that the military junta care about the humanitarian emergency in Zimbabwe that their hearts will bleed if people start suffering the more with MDC pulling out. Men like General Chiwenga are no longer human in the true African sense of the word. We say 'munhu asina hunhu haasi munhu'meaning any being without a humane side is not human at all. Such men would rather see the entire country go up in flames as long as they retain their titles. Sharing power has interrupted a lot of their nonsense even the imperfect GNU is causing ‘perfect’ disharmony in their camp! Since the birth of our nation ZANU PF has never shared power to the extent it is doing right now. They are weakest in every sense of the word now.ZAPU entered the government after the Gukurahundi nightmare but the economy was tittering as it is doing now so the ZANAU cabal could still flex their muscles. Now even their own ill gotten businesses are wallowing in imminent bankruptcy.
I believe the MDC needs to torn down its baffling rhetoric on Mugabe being 'a great leader' like what Deputy Prime Minister Mutambara is alleged to have said and Prime Minister Tsvangirai's near desperation in defending Mugabe should simply stop. It is neither necessary nor helpful.However,l am encouraged by the sure slow death of the monster called ZANU PF.The military junta is running scared. Each time they are so angry, that’s a sign something isn't going well on their side. Let’s not forget that the real ZANU PF power brokers are either old or sick and hence nature is taking its course. These folks are finished! They may scream and resist but they are on their way out. They have lost all semblance of credibility. I don't know any serious person who takes them seriously now. Their wealth is crumbling under the biting targeted sanctions. Indeed for some of them it’s begun to hurt. Just listen to the shrieks during Politburo meetings. It’s working! I wish their downfall could be expedited though. I pray for God to strengthen the will of those who are resisting ZANU PF

The opposition needs to be united. They need to mind implications of some of their actions in order to maintain their own credibility. In accepting those brand new Mercedes Benz, the MDC made a monumental blunder. How can a decent minister move around in a Mercedes when his own staff is not even paid decent salaries? How can ministers accept those cars when they want MPs to reject the same cars? Aren’t we seeing double standards here? The MDC has been in the trenches for a while and a little solidarity with the people through rejecting those symbols of government arrogance and overspending would have been exemplary. There is still time for them to make amends. Those cars must go!
The PM needs to continue courting civil society. This is hardly the time for the MDC to lose its partners of old. This is time for unity not bickering.

My views are also changing on the military junta. I think they should be left off the hook provided they return their loot and farms. If they do that they can get immunity for their crimes. If this will bring peace to Zimbabwe, l think it’s worth it. In any case, who wants to arrest the visibly ailing Chihuri or Jocelyn Chiwenga?The irresponsible Msika is now 87 years old...just leave him to go home to his grand children. He has disgraced himself in not speaking against his colleagues and let him go down in his shame. Such men knew the right thing but did nothing for fear of opposition and as such Msika’s conscience is enough punishment for him. The same applies to John Nkomo and the other ZANU PF moderates.

There are glimmers of hope in the economy and nation. The resistance is residual and it’s on the wane. No going back on GNU. Let the junta scream...we are not going back!

Long live Zimbabwe!
