1] The continued corroboration of state institutions & the #Mwonzora led faction of the MDC-T is quite exposing.

On a day where the #PeoplesAdvocate @adv_fulcrum is appearing in court & Parly is resuming, with news of recalls of MDC-A MPs, Harare is on lockdown during lockdown.

2] How can you deny the regime's underhand in this issue when #Mwonzora et al, are finding it easy to by-pass all roadblocks from Harare to Humanikwa?

Which essential service are they offering?

No wait, anything that is anti-Chamisa is actually an essential service in Zimbabwe.

3] The big question would then be why ZanuPF would be more comfortable with #Mwonzora as Leader of the Opposition?

If he is #mature, does it then follow that maturity was lacking in the #Opposition and equally so in #ZanuPF that the State wants to utilize #Mwonzora's maturity?

4] Why would #ZanuPF prefer #Mwonzora to #Chamisa?

Why would ZanuPF prefer an Opposition Leader who according to his own estimations, can easily get 4+million votes in a Presidential election?

How would this comfort them unless ofcourse its the epitome of his political madness?

5] But he's why Zanu prefers the Mwonzora led MDC.

Its electorally ineffective.

During the formative years of the GNU, Mugabe said: "..problem with the Opposition is that they want what they do not deserve.."

That's the Zanu mentality.
They've now found a useful Opposition.

6] Efforts to silence Chamisa have been consistent.

They dangled the #ChamisaAmmendment1, of creating a lofty #LeaderOfOpposition position for him.

Then the #ChamisaAmmendment2 of raising the Presidential age limit to 52 (Mwonzora's exact age then).

Agenda remains the same.

7] So instead of silencing #Chamisa through positions or inviting him to join government, they have moved into his home turf.

Their own version of "if you can't beat them join them".

They want to recreate the #Opposition in their own image.

A submissive & electorally weak one.

8] But am i being fair in saying #Mwonzora et al are electorally ineffective?

Well, #Mwonzora last won any sort of election in 2008!

#Khupe had less votes than spoiled ones in 2018!

#Mudzuri & #Komichi are appointees.

Its a group of the #unelectable buoyed by court positions.

9] You can compare a team of #Mwonzora, #Khupe, #Komichi, #Mudzuri with that of #Chamisa, #Welshman, #Kore & #Biti.

Which one gives #ZanuPF electoral headaches?

African wisdom says,kana uchida kuona muroyi rova chidhoma.

Why would #ManU accept transfer advice from #Liverpool?

10] How long did it take for #Komichi to say ED is nolonger #illegitimate?

How long did it take for #Mwonzora
to receive ZBC coverage?

How are they being an effective #Opposition?

Well, that's the mature Opposition which knows its place, according to #Zanu's handbook.

11] Spare a thought for #Mwonzora.

He is now banking on court cases to have control over #MPs.

Is that sustainable?

Are those people accepting your #Leadership or they are fearing your #vindictiveness?

Why did they reject VP #Khupe in 2017/18?

Why would they accept her now?

12] I was laughing at #Mwonzora's argument that the PPFA money belongs to the #MDC-T & not #MDC-A.

If the argument is the #MDC-A was an electoral coalition of 7 individual parties, how much money belongs to each 1 of them?

Why does the money now belong to 1 of them & not all 7?

13] Are you aware that #Nyikadzino, SG of the #MDC-T that took #Misihairabwi to Parly has been writing to #AdvMudenda who is ignoring him?

#MaKhupe is crossing political floors with MPs.

Other #MPs are recalled for joining a "nonexsting #MDC-A party".

Explain that.
I'll wait!

14] Its political madness galore.

#Mwonzora is winning court cases he would rather politically loose.

He is getting political capital from quarters who have other motives.

But he has sunk his head too deep to care.

He has choose a crocodile as a mode of transport.

enkosi!
