This should have attracted a strong reaction from Zanu, at the very least, a retraction
They however ignored it, regardless of the international condemnation it attracted.
4] Then there's the Liberation War Taxi Rank marshal,Victor Matemadanda
He is the party's PC, or "tete vemusangano", using political diction.
He's the embodiment of recklessness
Recently accused #July31 organizers of having "coronavirus canisters" & his party celebrated him.
5] Ordinarily, Matemadanda & Muchinguri, by virtue of being party PC & Chair respectively, would be responsible for discipline.
Sadly,recklessness isn't the other thing they share.
They are responsible for the Min of Defense & occasionally brag about the army shooting people.
6] Then there's the Mutsvangwas
Recently, the wife, Monica, who is government Spokesperson, went lose, attacking a Catholic Bishop with tribal slurs, sprawling all sort of verbal diarrhea.
Buckling to pressure, Zim government reacted by sending Ziyambi-Ziyambi to pour more fuel
7] Then there's Mhofu
The man has known one job all his adult life.
Lying!
He prefers to be known as a donkey, when he's not streaming porn on twitter.
He's a violent sexist who racially attacks perceived enemies & even ridicules the dead.
Remember he is the Pres Spokesperson.
8] Then there's the on RG once made Min of WhatsApp.
The one who officially opened a bin & speaks English in Shona.
As spokesperson, he's tasked with attacking Nero, Americans,ANC,Bishops, journalists & everything that moves.
He asked his party members to attack MDC supporters
8] So why are you surprised that one Mugwadi giggles uncontrollably on international media & even said "f*ck you" during an interview?
Two Boy is a small Boy when it comes to ZanuPF recklessness.
Who is going to call him to order?
His behaviour is rewarded in ZanuPf.
enkosi!

1. Admittedly, when I first read the "structured currency" headline, I thought the Harare regime was taking its "structures" propaganda too far.
With the benefit of more research on the topic, I'm now totally convinced the Harare regime is indeed taking its propaganda too far.
2. By definition, a structured currency is "structured" in that it's supposedly backed by both mineral reserves (in our case gold) and trust in government's monetory policies & regulations.
Unfortunately, no one believes any of the two are present in our existing circumstances.
3. Part of why all previous gimmicks have failed is a trust deficit.
Even if the government opts to accuse commentators of being alarmists, causing panick and despondency, no one can be faulted for rushing to withdraw their forex savings if we have learned anything from history.
1. Imagine trying to make sense of how some 4 gentlemen in Bulawayo can randomly claim, 'we have recalled Amos Chibaya, he has ceased being a member of CCC'.
Outside the influence of social media, many only know about #CCC because of the efforts of this indefatigable organizer.
2. Propaganda has to make some sort of sense.
Even where some decide to hide behind the claim of "a traceable history in the struggle," Chibaya would make the mark.
A devoted organizer during the times of Tsvangirai & even more so, during the times of Chamisa under the MDC-A.
3. For the successive elections between 2018-2023, it's a mystery how Chibaya found the passion to abandon the comfort of his home and the herculean energy to traverse the country, organizing the Opp for electoral triumph.
Chibaya is very much unheralded & doesn't seem to care.
1. So, a group of at least 25 individuals have decided to join nonexistent forces under the otherwise much heralded #NERA banner to push for electoral reforms.
It's difficult to even identify them as political leaders because they don't represent any political constituency.
2. If you review the outcome of the controversial 2023 election, these people combined had fewer votes than the Councilors who won your ward election.
Many of them have never even bothered to field candidates in successive elections but only pop up whenever they sense a need.
3. If you were to profile them, there is one Lucia Matibenga, masquerading as PDP President.
Her "party" never contests.
She only temporarily enjoyed limelight under PDP when Sen Mwonzora brought her as his MDC-A partner before they connived to recall MPs elected under Chamisa.
1. Interesting comment on this unfolding drama by Prof Ncube.
I, however, can't help recognize the continued conflation of politics & law, which I've previously written about, regarding the formation of CCC party from MDC-A.
It's quite strange that BaNcube does the same here.
2. I take notice of @Welshman_Ncube choice of words here.
He says: MDC-A party's "...National Council resolved to reconstitute itself as CCC..."
By definition, when you "reconstitute," you simply restore or build up again, using remaining parts of whatever has been destroyed.
@Welshman_Ncube 3. However, it was a legal nulity not only for MDC-A to 'reconstitute' itself but to even meet & make legally binding resolutions to begin with.
In 2020, Justice Chitapi ruled that the MDC-A party wasn't a legal persona, effectively meaning it wasn't a legally constituted party.
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.
