1. We need to accept that we've seen enough to conclude we've no justice system in Zimbabwe.
Perhaps it's time to totally (temporarily) abandon seeking judicial recourse, particularly around political issues
Why continue subjecting ourselves to the wig wearing ZanuPF activists!
2. Let me rationalize this personal view:
Firstly, we are simply patronizing the generality of the citizens by arguing that going to these "captured courts" is an important academic exercise that exposes judicial capture.
What has been the consequence of exposing this capture?
3. ZanuPF's reaction to the damning SADC Observer Mission report is evidence enough that they don't react to "embarrassment" by showing restraint.
ZanuPF chose rather to burn SADC through an unprecedented propaganda offensive and direct confrontation with the Zambia government.
1. THE CASE OF SENGEZO TSHABANGU, AND THE REGIME’S 12 POINT PLAN
For a while now, I've hinted on sharing a substantive submission on the Tshabangu debacle & what the envisioned end game is
Unending commitments has made it impossible to write on my blog.
Will do a thread instead
2. CONTEXT.
In early October, the nation woke up to what initially read like an extremely random joke.
A man whom some of us had previously only seen at the nomination court in Bulawayo, visibly angry at the handling of CCC candidates registration, woke up having taken over CCC
3. For days & weeks that ensued, the man in question, one Sengezo Tshabangu, has continued to make headlines, leaving behind a trail of destruction, as self-styled CCC "Interim SG."
The consequence of this position he claims to hold has solely been to recall CCC representatives.
1. I maintain that there's no way you'll say Bulawayo voters voted for "imposed candidates" simply because they couldn't vote for ZanuPF.
You can't be an activist for the Mthwakazi interests, whilst parroting a narrative that tragically insults your fellow citizens in Bulawayo.
2. Much of this noise about imposition is sadly fronted by factionalists inside CCC and those who preferred certain candidates, especially in councils, for business reasons.
One doesn't miss that there hasn't been much effort to actually identify the so-called imposed candidates
3. Interestingly, Tshabangu was involved in signing paper for CCC double candidates, whom we were made to believe they were the preferred candidates.
Unsurprisingly, they all performed dismally, as voters chose all those we were supposed to believe had been imposed by Chamisa.
1. Apparently, they're people who claim that everyone who supports Chamisa does so because of "personality politics" and not "principles" or "ideas"!
You want to honestly claim that Chamisa is just a "personality" who doesn't represent any principle or idea worth supporting?
2. You're going to patronize and insult every Zimbabwean who chooses to support Chamisa of failing to apply their mind to decision-making without emotion?
The man is NOT a saint and makes blunders like the rest of us.
But please, not all of us are actually stupid & irrational.
3. It's amazing that many years after reducing Chamisa to a post-tsvangirai euphoria, a flavor of the month, those who are dumbfounded by how he has retained majority support, choose now to reduce those supporting him, to brain washed zombies.
1. Seems likes there's a nauseating attempt to both legitimize the theatrics of one Tshabangu, and absolving ZanuPF of any involvement, using all sorts of theories.
Even those who accused CCC of being structureless, are now giving it structures, for the sake of this imposter.
2. One wonders the relationship between taking pictures with Nelson Chamisa, or even attending CCC rallies, between either being "known" by the same Chamisa, or thus having a post in the party.
I guess I can post pictures with Chamisa (if I have any), & become CCC Interim VP?
3. There's more than enough evidence to suggest Tshabangu isn't fronting any genuine grievance & that he and his co-conspirators are working against democratic gains.
Fact that his co-conspirators remain faceless, yet pretending to be fighting for constitutionalism, is exposing
