1] The #MDC-T just held a press conference condemning youths allegedly aligned to #Chamisa for an attempted violent takeover of HH
#Mwonzora & #Komichi threatened legal actions against the sponsors & perpetrators
This is a welcome development.
Can't tolerate political violence
2] The politics of violence should be condemned.
A sensible leadership cannot use violent to settle internal or external disputes.
This cultivates a dangerous culture of intolerance.
It eventually visits you also.
Real Leaders should be honest and reflective in their conduct.
3] In equal measure, people shouldnt hide behind unfounded violence allegations to settle political scores.
The decision to make Mukoyi Youth Chair after labeling him a violent Vanguard CIC leaves a lot to be desired.
You can't raise political capital on sympathy & victimhood.
4] I hope Mwonzora and team do everything in their power in relation to their allegations.
Those they accused of Humakwa violence, breaking HH windows during their takeover, & the skirmishes of yesterday should be reported to authorities.
He who alleges should provide evidence.
5] Highlight of the MDC-T presser:
#Phugeni: "Journalists...on Monday you were not on your best behavior. I hope today the quality of question reflects the type of democracy we want to build."
#CostaNkomo: "We will question you freely and not take any lectures from you"
😂😂
6] Asked on why the majority of MPs are defying their Leadership, DM said
"Subject these MPs to a secret ballot & you will be surprised.The majority of the MDC MPs support us & they respect us"
What sort of witchcraft has befallen DM?
DM is doing his own 10+4 = 40.
enkosi!!

1] Dear @ProfJNMoyo, in the spirit of engagement, I share my individual reaction to your mischief, deliberately misrepresented as a legal/intellectual argument.
I emphasize that this is my INDIVIDUAL thoughts, that shouldn't be linked to any structure nor party. 🤣
2] Firstly, Iet me express how much I was absolutely impressed by your audacity to quote our constitution, to justify your temper tantrum.
Clearly, there's no limit to the frightening lengths you're willing to go, when your sense of superiority & self importance, is disregarded
3] Fortunately for citizens, unlike the pre-2017 era, when you had the luxury to influence state institutions against (perceived) opponents & opposition to your interests, thoughts & unholy desires, you now find yourself mostly whispering in the wind.
1] Seems like debates over the structuring of CCC, just won't go away.
At face value, these conversations are political manure, that will certainly help grow our democracy.
Politically also, these conversations reinforces the position of CCC as the ultimate alternative.
2] Writing an article attached below, I did opinion that it would be naivety of the highest order, for CCC to behave, and for its supporters to equally demand that it behaves, as if Zimbabwe is a normal democracy.
1] Over the last couple of days, one of the most dominant topics on the blue-streets, has been the Ian Smith story
After all is said and done, what the proponents of the "Smith was better" narrative are simply expressing, is absolute disillusionment with ZanuPF's disastrous rule
2] If ZanuPF's leaders were self-respecting, they would use this debate to self introspect.
When you're a "liberation" movement, and you govern people who think you're worse than a colonial government, it means you've betrayed the liberation agenda itself.
Sit back & reflect.
3] Being combative & accusing those expressing that sentiment, of suffering from a colonial hangover, or being proponents of "a regime change agenda" is a useless, overplayed card.
Equally, claiming that those sentiments are an indictment on Chamisa, is foolishness on steroids.
1] 'Mukoma' knows all too well, that this claim of political parties being "equal partners" is political blasphemy.
It's only in church, before Christ, where humans are "equal".
Institutions, by whatever benchmark, can't be "equal", more so, those competing for popular support.
2] Mukoma knows that this very understanding of a hierarchical order was the reason why the "MDC-A agreement" which he's passionate about, allocated seats in 2017/18, unequally.
That placement, was advised by electoral weight, and what each party brought to the proverbial table.
3] Mukoma, also claimed that he had taken over the MDC-A Leadership, by virtue of being MDC-T Leader, as the latter was the "biggest party in the ALLIANCE".
By so doing, mukoma actually permanently relegated the rest of the "ALLIANCE partners", to playing "second fiddle".
1] I see that some citizens in the yellow movement couldn't resist this nonsensical invitation to draw comparisons between Dr Tsvangirai and Adv Chamisa.
The tragic part being that some even began ridiculing Dr Tsvangirai, as an expression of trust in Adv Chamisa's leadership.
2] Firstly, the G40's (many of whom didn't go to war), equally had no respect for Dr Tsvangirai whatsoever, over exaggerated 'fundamental political differences'.
For them, vitro towards Dr MRT made them feel militant & gave then a sense of belonging, in the 'liberation party'
3] Secondly, it's quite patronizing, for ex & current ZanuPF leaders, to say 'Tsvangirai had courage'.
What they actually mean is that he withstood their name calling, torture & murder, electoral theft, among other actions against him.
1] @CCCZimbabwe continue to do unorthodox politics.
Many would recall that the citizens movement has since done away with 'VIP tents' practice, a seemingly harmless old system, which sadly carries with it, far-reaching yet strong hidden meanings.
2] Though not admittedly unique to us as a nation, the divide between the elected (bosses) and the electors (povho) has continously been allowed to widen.
Usually citing security concern (at times conviniently), the elected seldom use services used by those who elected them.
3] Most times, the irony of it is that the poor state of some of the services, are a direct consequence of their (the elected) inability to govern.
Frustratingly, some amongst the affected, are at the forefront of rationalizing these nonsensical practices/behaviors.
