Just went through some article allegedly written by MDC-T Sec for Presidential Affairs, Hon V. Tsvangirai
I do not know the young man enough to judge whether or not he himself authored the opinion piece.
Regardless, I found it too interesting to ignore.
2] Firstly,Dr Magaisa is accused of "siding with G40 elements since 2013", with the latter sponsoring Chamisa's "violent & unconstitutional take over of the party".
The other claim is that the "G40 helped Chamisa purge senior Party members" such as Douglas, Mudzuri and Komichi.
3] Its self serving to say Chamisa unconstitutionally and violently grabbed the MDC-T.
Such claims are illogical, coming from individuals who sided then with him, and not Dr Khupe.
Individuals who campaigned for the alleged violent constitutional delinquent to go to State House.
4] Its equally preposterous to claim that Chamisa "purged" Sen Mudzuri, Sen Komichi & Sen Mwonzora, with the help of the G40. (whatever that means)
Under Chamisa, post the demise of Dr Tsvangirai, the three remained Deputy President, Chairman and Secretary General respectively.
5] At the Gweru Congress, Komichi, Mudzuri & Mwonzora were then "purged" by voters.
But post that, Chamisa magnanimously appointed them Sec for Presidential Affairs, Sec for Local Government and Deputy Secretary for International Affairs.
He rewarded those retired by democracy
6] The other claim is that Dr AM didn't do anything when "Chamisa's thugs tried to burn Mwonzora & Khupe.."
Guess who also didn't do anything?
Vincent himself & the alleged victims
They perhaps eventually did,by co-opting the alleged mastermind, who's now their Sec for Security
7] The other kindergarten claim is that Dr Magaisa is trying to "beg" Mnangagwa to have only Chamisa at the dialogue
It simply exposes their motivation behind the dialogue
It's common knowledge that Chamisa was offered all sorts of perks (ask Trevor Ncube) yet still spurned them
8] The MDC-T is purporting to be representing "well meaning Zimbos" in their quest for a elitist GNU, drawing parallels with 2009-2013.
Zimbos are querying the nature of their dialouge warranting dispute with ED.
Theirs is a search for gov positions without a electoral mandate.
9] Its amateurish for the author, deadlocked or otherwise, to draw a false equivalence between Mwonzora and the church Leaders.
It's not "bigoted myopicism" to expose that unlike those church Leaders, and even Chamisa, Mwonzora has no political constituency he represents!
10] Vincent also demands that Dr Magaisa explains "the convergence of his though and method with the thought of method of Jonathan Moyo & Pedzisai Ruhanya"
Ironically, Dr Pedzi is a long time ally of the MDC, while JN is a whispering political dinosaur who sometimes ridicules NC
11] One would actually think that the son of the great Morgan Tsvangirai would be more worried about how he is part of a party who's "thought and method" now is convergent with that of ZanuPF.
The same ZanuPf, a political vice his father sacrificed his entire life fighting.
12] A whole Dr AM is labelled "armchair intellectual" whose writing lack scientific footprint.
Strange claim, coming from a youth purporting to speak on behalf of Zim youths "excited by Mwonzora" who's GNU push is "gaining traction among youths"
Where's the evidence of that?
13] Reading that article full of G-40 stories feels like a lecture at Chitepo school of ideology.
Doesnt matter who wrote that piece.
Qui facit per alium facit per se!
Vincent is now both intellectually and politically naked.
That fruit fell far away from the tree.
enkosi!!

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
1] Someone shared with me a #legal opinion which sought to separate "#facts from #fiction" with regards to the resolutions previously made by @OurMDCT during it's so called virtual #NationalCouncil
Carefully went through it, whilst referencing to the MDC-T #constitution itself..
2] On the attached press release, @witness_dube authoritatively claims that the "the National Council sitting as an extension of Congress moved to amend the MDC constitution..."
Apparently, the alleged amendment is the basis on which the appointment of Elias Mudzuri was ratified
3] Going through the MDC-T constitution itself, it would seem like the distinction between what a Congress and the National Council can do is clear.
Only a legally constituted Congress can amend the constitution of the MDC-T party according to clause 6.2.3 (e).
"No matter the adversities, the liberation of our people from oppression and persecution can not be postponed any further. My persecution is a reflection of the suffering our people have been going through one generation after the other"
"In this instance, I am in complete shock of the reasons for my persecutions. there is no crime i committed. The plot and the plan of the dictatorship is to break me down. i will never be broken down because the demand for a free and just society is a calling.."
"Even if I die in the concentration camp called Chikurubi Maximum Prison, dear Zimbabweans remember me. Remember that it is because of our freedom, happiness and liberty that has been robbed from one generation to another, that I met my fate.."
2] Current political conversations in the Opposition & alternative should be inclusive & pro-youth.
Those preoccupied with patronizing & revisionist conversations on who was where in 1999 are simply building another Zanu-lite version of an entitled mob of tired legs.
I dream of a functional nation whose citizens aren't burdened by the baggage of those who wont accept that they have failed, with their better days way behind them.
That nation can only be born out of a new agenda and a new focus
1] The hypocrisy with which we turn ourselves into moral prefects has to be exposed.
I thought seeing some anti Chamisa Chete Chete guys coming up with Mwonzora Kwese Kwese gimmick was hilarious enough.
Some who ridicule Chamisa Chete Chete behaviour prefer Prophet Chete Chete
2] We live in a world where some prefer science, some religion with the two usually in conflict.
Yet at a time such as this, influential people shouldn't be pressing panick button and being at the forefront of propagating conspiracy theories camouflaged as religious teachings.
3] Its unproductive when extremists of either religion or science, simply criticise "solutions" proffered by the other, without offering different ideas.
When such things happen, it's easy to come across as attention seeking rabble-rousers.
1] We will examine whether or not Simba Chikanza is mentally stable some other time, but did a whole Minister of Defence spend 7 minutes exposing ZanuPF internal issues/fights to someone she didnt know who it was?
How is Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri a whole Defence Minister?
2] The same Muchinguri-Kashiri previously claimed God was using covid to punish sanctions imposing Westerners...
now she says the covid virus is a product of a Chinese experiment that went horribly wrong!
Is it the same China which is supposedly our "all weather friend"?
3] Atleast,thank you for exposing an open secret.
Everyone knows that ZBC isn't a State broadcaster, but an extension of ZanuPF propaganda machinery.
We just didnt know it was now Madam Mutsvangwa's property which her faction is using to promote their agenda.
