ZANU PF shifting gears.

Over the years Mugabe and his top “followers” have been responsible for some heinous crimes in Zimbabwe but we have never heard of any arrests of top government officials. Those ZANU PF officials who have been accused of crimes have walked free as they have turned to friends in the right places. Murder, corruption, domestic violence, intimidation, abduction the list goes on they have done the lot. In recent weeks MDC officials have had been arrested “laughable crimes” and because some of them have been charged they are now unable to stand for parliament.

This is part of Mugabe’s greater plan to undermine and discredit the other half of the coalition Government as petty thieves and rowdy violent hooligans in suits something members of ZANU are not.Elections are around the corner and ZANU PF are putting in the work, you can’t blame them for tryin after all they did lose last time around and bullied their way to stay. As the geriatrics fall by the wayside this we all know is their last run and they cannot afford to be caught sleeping so the arrests are a good start for them. If Tsvangirai ever thought this was Team playing with Zanu then he definitely is not the right man for the job, we all saw this from a mile away. The Prime Minister popularity is already on the wane with Zimbabweans both at home and abroad because of his associations. He is so focused on getting Mugabe’s approval he does not see the big sharp knife Mugabe is stabbing him with in the back.

If you have an exit strategy out of this coalition circus it is time to bring out Mr PM.

The arrests will carry on and ZANU PF will step it up as we get closer to elections. There is a reason why they held onto the control of the police force, because without the police they won’t get too far.
