Thread by @Laque_davis

1] Just finished reading this anger runt by @ProfJNMoyo which absolutely doesn't read like the opinion of a political scientist.

An unnecessary disclaimer:
I'm tweeting a personal response, not on behalf of any institution nor individual.

Here's my personal view....

https://twitter.com/ProfJNMoyo/status/1473656063488573440

2] Let's start perhaps with what the long thread ignored

Over the past few days, even if one ignored the genesis of this 'twar', Prof JN & his peers have been throwing all sorts of vitro & character assignation against WaMagaisa's person.

Prof decided to ignore this completely.

3] Prof's thread equally ignores that actual issues raises in response to his 'advice'.

Some felt he disqualified himself from having an opinion on how the funds are to be used by blueticking the initiative.

Others queried the legality of diverting funds raised through gofund.

4] It would have been more sensible for Prof to attend to those two issues instead of ignoring them completely, & focusing instead on being seen as a victim of some MDC-A cult mentality.

It's disingenuous for Prof to totally ignore addressing why he claims he's being attacked.

5] I now turn to what Prof actually says..

Conveniently, Prof calls the citizens' Gofund program a 'MDC-A initiative which exposes lack of priorities by the party'

Prof even draws false equivalences in a bid to expose a non existent 'insensitivity' by the MDC-A leadership.

6] Secondly, the thread is full of gaslighting

Prof shows a desperation to highlight any conversation with any twimbo, including ghosts, as official MDC-A positions on any matters

The intended consequence is to justify his inability to stomach alternative ideas & superior logic

7] I find it mind-boggling, how a man who's desperate to be seen in new light, has no problem resorting to his default mode of labelling,belittling & using social sanctions to attack perceived opponents

It reminds some of his days in power,except that he now whispers in the wind

8] Thirdly, Prof persists with this narrative that people should feel sorry for their predicament as "G40"

That narrative is founded on a warped logic that wanachi somehow misses Mugabe because of clueless Munhumutapa.

The narrative attempts at focusing people on ED the person.

9] Zimbabweans have, unfortunately for G40 aligned people, now fully understood that what's wrong with ZanuPF is ZanuPF.

After focusing on RGM, it would be silly to focus on ED.

Any sort of alliances that might have developed before, were aimed at the ultimate demise of ZanuPF

10] This attempt by Prof, at having wanachi focus on 'the power behind RG', rightfully being ED, misleadingly leaves us focusing on Mugabe's politics only

Many things went wrong, including draconian legislature, state capture, climpdown on rights, policy inconsistency,corruption

11] If for instance one rightfully observed that beyond the violence, the train went off the rails because of many others issues including disrupting MDC run councils, land theft, media capture, propaganda, corruption, wouldn't you see how these G40s played a role on the same?

12] Prof informs wanachi, of his decision to formally retract a previous offer to train MDC-A 2023 polling agents.

It would seem like his frustrations emanate from his disillusionment with the wanachi he calls "cultic"

You would expect Professors to have emotional intelligence

13] As a 'scientist', Prof should have long observed that the G40 collective is still angling towards 'reclaiming & reforming ZanuPF.

When one of their own then makes overtures at 'assisting' an opponent which his peers always insults, the citizens inevitably become cautious.

14] The citizens' fears aren't allayed by patronising 'scientific opinions' that citizens won't be mobilized under #NgaapindeHakeMukomana when it was a citizens' mantra to begin with

Prof once again attempts 2 'fault' the MDC-A leadership over a slogan they didn't even introduce

15] Imagine having a whole adult writing a long thread full of lies and half-truths.

A scientist who once claimed he would "die for Mugabe" & had us tweeting "#KwekweHim" in 2018 now saying the citizens' #NgaapindeHakeMukomana mantra, permiating even the countryside is cultic.

16] Its important to resist being left internally focused by Prof's dishonest & hypocrisy.

Thankfully, citizens have developed an 'ownership attitude' over their struggle & are converging for change & will fund their movement to the detriment of fake "superhumans".

enkosi!!
