The most Zanu like idea and non democratic idea there is!
How do you call yourselves democratic yet embarking on a non democratic
promotional campaign? Anyone who is calling themselves academic or
politician seem to not understand what democracy stands for. What is this
idea about removing choice?
I know and understand what the current administration under Mugabe has not
performed as well as expected and corruption and all that is destructive to
the nation has taken place. We still should not be obsessed by Robert
Mugabe. The focus on the president has taken energy and the ability to be
innovative and creative (which was lacking already). It is not necessarily
the inability for a president to run the country that takes a nation to what
Zimbabwe is and going. It is the millions of Zimbabweans in the diaspora.
Running from their responsibilities. As thinkers and innovators, businessman
and civic organizations should have been creating an environment that is not
conducive to corruption and perpetuation of incompetence.
A coalition is the road to a one party state. Mutambara and Tsvangirai
should remain separate one or two more parties should join the field and
citizens should be educated to vote their conscience and not what someone
else think is the way to go. Mugabe can rule till he dies if Zimbabwean vote
for him. And they should be allowed to vote for him if that is what they
prefer. It is the members of paliament that matter. As long as the president
does not have a majority and the constitution is followed and is for the
people, one should not obsess on Mugabe. If there are crimes committed with
a majority that is not Zanu then Justice should and will take its course.
It however appears to me that until the nation reeds itself of these Zanu
like propensities we are destined to be like Kenya and the rest of the
African States. Change from one dictator to another. As it is we all know
that Tsvangirai and his predecessor from the other group are dictators in
the making.
Businesses need to create jobs, legislators and civic organizations need to
teach job skills and help start small businesses.
Civic organizations in Zimbabwe are little businesses that founders use to
finance their businesses and feed their families rather than do what they
have put themselves to be representing.
As much as mugabe is to blame for the state of the nation, it is time to get
over him already and quit the obsession. We have a judicial system. It may
not be were we want it to be but we have one. Gukura hundi for instance --
We can start prosecuting and filing civil suits and ask the international
courts to start indicting the lowest ranking soldiers that we all know for a
fact that they carried out the atrocities and follow the chain of command
from there. A lot of these will not want to go down on their own so they
will rat on the others and we follow the trail to Mugabe or at least someone
higher up the chain. We can do this with everything - the media, city
council, labor etc.
Lets do something that works and quit the finger pointing and obsessing on
Mugabe. He may die in power and no one will know what to obsess on when he
is gone. Leading to another state of paralysis.
