Mugabe lost the state house keys

Mugabe lost the state house keys


Never have a head of state been politically marooned like what Bob is at the
moment. The drastic metamorphosis from a freedom fighter to a despot is
equally shocking. Zimbabwe has not and will never run short of credible
leaders. There are too numerous statesmen to mention.

Political commentators and political scientists will agree with me that
there is nothing new of Mugabe's past that can make him see social sense
where there is no political self centring. That being that paints a gloomy
picture for Zimbabweans; we believe in earnest that what civic pressure
groups had failed inflation would succeed, 'acharohwa nezveusiku gore rino'.
I am not predicting that Mugabe will rule till Jesus comes but wait a
minute, how old is Mugabe for argument's sake? Most of us would prefer
waiting for his natural death which if I am right was 48 years ago,
considering that the life expectance for Zimbabweans is 35 years. Albeit
Mugabe seem to defy every scientific norm. What makes him we without our
concern? What makes him breath without oxygen? What makes him win without
votes? What makes him young without youth? What makes him Zimbabwean without
being one? May be he has lost the keys to the state house? 'Kunyika kwedu
hatingadaro'

In a book "Confronting authority" written by Derrick Bell, a black American
who took 1 year unpaid leave to confront the US authority on behalf of the
disadvantaged black woman, at Harvard Law School, noted," even those who are
considering confrontation as an alternative to passive acceptance, there are
no ten easy steps to adopting a more aggressive stance to the indignities
suffered by individuals or groups you wish to defend" This shows why
Zimbabwe is now 40 years backwards although we have more political parties
and civic pressure groups than in any peaceful country living although still
devoid of any political effect. There is simply no easy step to confronting
and defying authority. Further more Mugabe belongs to a class of his own, a
complex mixture of naivety and political mongering, devoid of reason and
humanity. The dilemma that we Zimbabweans face is that African states
continue to have solidarity with the head of states rather than the people
of individual countries, further more governments in Africa do not necessary
include the electorate but the elected or self imposed. Opposition though
progressive have found themselves incapacitated by a windfall of repressive
legislations hurriedly passed to ensure a crackdown on all progressive
forces. The war on terror has subsequently added a blow to opposition world
wide, as rogue governments can crackdown on opposition in the name of war on
terror privy of Western World.

Zimbabwe will be free and is going to be free, Mugabe or no Mugabe. We
should actively debate on Zimbabwe after Mugabe because that is the reality
now than ever. Mugabe will not be president come 2008 elections, mark my
words. As much as we have wanted to see him go forcefully at least I am one
of them for a specific reason which even Mugabe knows better, I feel the
inflation has a more ferocious fire power than all wishful thinking put
together now than anticipated, 'dzawira mutsvanda kaidzi mhanduwe'. Each
time I look at Zimbabwe's economy and political mayhem, the more I
personally take the entire ZANU(PF) leadership to blame, how on earth
somebody elected by the people forsake the same electorate and instead look
after the interest of a ghost like Mugabe or Mkabe forgive me for the lack
of knowledge as to where he comes from? As far as I am concerned, only Simba
Makoni has voiced his concern about the state of Zimbabwe, the rest lets
sent them to hell together with Mugabe. I still believe strongly that the
opposition in Zimbabwe needs to unite for the good of the nation. All
opposition leaders in Zimbabwe must understand that they owe what they are
to the people of Zimbabwe and not to themselves, at least no one is more
intelligent than the Zimbabwean electorate, if you think so then don't seek
our votes, come on guys, this is our country and not your country. We owe it
to the generation to come and not to our selfish political gains. Mugabe is
an example of a political venture which went wrong, we don't need another
example, be warned!
