One who was a thorn in Mugabe’s side as he questioned the President’s every move and did not hide his feelings about the old man not hanging up his boots enede up dead in a house fire that he could have escaped easily.

The other is the President’s Banker rumoured to have had an affair with the first Lady and currently at war with Saviour Kasukuwere over the ridiclous indegionousation laws (looting of business)  who said “resign or we kick him out” think what you want but I think here Mr Kasukuwere was sending out a message and thanks to wiki leaks who also revealled just before the farm blaze that Gono was friends with Mugabe’s enemies and had told US Ambassador that Zanu PF hardliners for “making his job difficult”. The reasons above give some unhappy people cause to start a fire.

No one is immune to ZANU PF “killing machine” and Gidiot Gono should take this as a warning. Tread carefully. CIO don’t normally get it wrong maybe they sent in rookies this time and someone botched the job.

According to the powers that be, gone are the days when governement officials drove recklessly at high speeds in their mercedes benzs or 4×4 vehicles aiming for potholes trying to take out maPuma (Army armoured trucks) playing dodge ball with lamp posts and trees, now they just carelessly leave fire accelerants lying about on their farms waiting for mysterous accidents to happen….

Solomon Mujuru aka Rex Nhongo May 1, 1949 – August 15, 2011

The death of retired army General Solomon Tapfumaneyi Mujuru aka Rex Nhongo has sent the country into a state of shock with tongues wagging and for the first time in the murky politics of Zimbabwe the opposition can sit-out on this one.

A decorated liberation war hero General Solomon Mujuru will be remembered by all Zimbabweans as a true hero of the liberation struggle.

Though Joice Mujuru has come out and said that people should not jump to conclusions regarding her husband’s death the family want answers and are thinking of bringing in foreign investigators to look into this matter as those locally might interfere. If this was just an accident why the so many discrepencies, why a police investigation, surely the Fire Dept who turned up 3 hours late with no water have an investigation team to look into this.

I do not blame Zimbabweans for being sceptical about the General’s death, it was what we know, it was what we have come to accept, political figures who act like a dog with a bone die in mysterious accidents or are “bumped-off “, and one other thing we have come to accept is that no culprits are never brought to book as those responsible are “untouchable” and very ingenious in their ways. (List below, feel free to add to it)

The in-fighting within Zanu PF has intensified in recent years as the old man takes more flights to Asia to see his health team, Gen Mujuru has been backing his wife Joice to take over once Mugabe retires “steps down” dies. Vying for the same post is the Joint Operations Command Chair Emmerson Munangagwa who is known to be ruthless when it calls for it and the only one who really stands to benefit the most from the General death. In recent times Gen Mujuru believed aging Mugabe had become a political liability for Zanu PF and had made this known repeatedly resisting Mugabe’s election plans and becoming a thorn in Mugabe’s side.

The most intriguing thing about all this and I guess why a lot Zanu PFs would like anwsers to Who dunnit?…….. is they never expected one of their own to go in such a manner. Mugabe is going soon so the gloves are off.

Lord Sugar on Twitter

Not even our diamonds can tempt them, even only we had oil……..

First off I would like to congratulate Miss Mushandu on her recent achievements, she was crowned Miss Tourism Zimbabwe, a well deserved title. It’s just a shame the usual suspects were there to steal the limelight and turn a beauty Pageant into a political fiasco. Philip Chiyangwa and his Zanu PF buddies (namely Edna Madzongwe, Savior Kasukuwere, David Karimanzira, Sydney Sekeramayi,  Walter Mzembi with wives in tow) decided to quiz the girls on their knowledge of Zanu PF like that has anything to do with promoting tourism in Zimbabwe. Zanu PF officials and Ministers where obviously there to take advantage of the gathering and keep the election Campaign going. Only ZANU PF can politicize a beauty pageant but this shows the desperation of one organisation.

Why are government ministers and their wives doing taking advantage of young girls to promote party business, quizzing 18 year old girls on the structure of Zimbabwe’s defence forces, ex-combatants from the war of liberation and the first commander of Zimbabwe’s guerrilla force in the 1970s. The problem with ZANU PF is they don’t know when to call for party business; ZANU is the last thing we want associated with Zimbabwean Tourism because we will never have anyone come to Zimbabwe. Why can’t some these idiots just turn up at an event seat down in their seat watch and go home. Politicians and wanna be party bigwigs should not get involved in such shows leave it to the professionals. Are we ever going to have events in Zimbabwe that do not turn political, hopefully after we kick ZANU PF out of government.

The Ironies……….

• the theme this year was “Promoting Peace through Tourism”, What a joke! While Zanu PF officials are promoting peace through tourism, ZANU PF militia thugs are terrorising innocent citizens and destroying property.

• in the early 80s Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF had banned the Miss Zimbabwe pageant because it was not inline with our traditional African values and in 2011 we find the same hypocrites using the beauty pageant to promote their party business.

A few weeks ago Zimbabwean Award-winning theatre actor, director and producer, Silvanos Mudzvova had his One-man demo blocked by the police. Silvanos was calling for Parliament to craft a law that compels public officials to declare their assets before taking office. In recent weeks we have all been surprised with the amount of wealth Mr Chombo has managed to accumulate on his wages over the years but this came as no surprise as it is commonly known in Zimbabwe that these ministers have been abusing their power and connections to the fullest.

What surprises me is that it has taken one person Silvanos to demonstrate calling for this law and an end to corruption when this is clearly an issue that the whole nation should be concerned with. When Silvanos announced his demo I expected scores of people to join him on the march. Mr Mudzova is doing Zimbabwe a favor by bring this to the attention of the masses as it is their taxes and resources that are being siphoned by these greedy officials.

Since the formation of the GNU Robert Mugabe’s allies ZANU PF and other corrupt official have refused and blocked a land audit. Recently the ZimOnline Investigations Team have put together a report of the top land barons in Zimbabwe and guess what they have turned out to be the very same people blocking the Land Audit. Click her to view. Mr Mugabe siad he is carrying out the land reform programme to right the wrongs of the colonial era but here we can see the top beneficiaries. When the looting of farms (land reform programme) was introduced Mugabe promoted the “One Family One Farm” but because he is now old and senile he forgot to apply this to his allies.

Transparency is over due in this government, these thiees are coining it and rubbing it in our faces. According to Mugabe he is doing it for Zimbabweans -I say he is doing it for himself and his buddies. How long are we going to stand aside and look at this nonsense, Right now every Zimbabwean should be thinking to themselves that surely if you want to spread the wealth you do not take all for yourself. ZANU PF has taken Zimbabweans for idiots in the name of so many nonsensical reforms which benefit them.

Recently the Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA) organised a protest in the city centre, protesting against corruption and greed prooving that there are many people out there who are not happy with these officials lining their pockets, the residents were also calling for the suspension of “Business Genius” Ignatius Chombo pending investigations into his corrupt dealings. Its sad to say I dont see this happening so maybe Zimbabweans need to think this through, just one more time as this cannot go on forever. Thanks to Mrs Chombo and the Hearald Ignatius Chombo is just te face of corruption in Zimbabwe he is by no means the only guilty party.

Zimbabwe media under fire

Another day another journalist arrested for doing his job. Nqobani Ndlovu of The Standard was recently arrested, his crime …….criminal defamation against the Police, but really he was arrested for reporting the truth something the Zimbabwean authorities have a problem with.

How can one carry out their daily duties without the fear of being persecuted? Where is the press freedom and freedom of expression? There is no room for critical media in Zimbabwe and journalists from independent newspapers are always on the lookout and as Zimbabwe heads for elections in 2011 intimidation and harassment of journalists will increase. Anyone who dares to publish stories on the corruption of authorities risks jail. Some often argued that there is freedom of expression in Zimbabwe but no freedom after expression to a certain extent that is true but reluctance of the authorities to open up the airwaves goes on to show the media state of affairs in the country.

So many criminals in ZANU but no arrests, yet they waste time going after the small fish just to make a point.  There so many Zimbabwean journalists on the run today for fear of persecution over material they have published. The a need not worry about state run media as they have full control it’s the independent media they are always on the look-out for hence bringing the Public Order Security Act (POSA) and Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) it’s to curtail those who think the public should be well informed

Elections are around the corner and it’s evident that ZANU are preparing for it, why else would they be recruiting soldiers around the country unless there is a war they have not told us about. Recruiting War veterans and retired officers for top posts in the police to help build the crumbling structures of ZANU PF is a known fact. Arresting Journalist like Nqobani Ndlovu is just a way of sending a message to people in his profession to watch out for the same would happen to them. The main reason why Nqobani has been arrested is that he has made the public aware of what ZANU PF is up to. This time the Police have brought out their favourite CRIMINAL LAW (CODIFICATION AND REFORM) ACT and slapped Nqobani with violating Section 96 defaming Police Commissioner Augustine Chihuri and the entire Zimbabwean Republic Police.

Corrupt Ignatius Chombo

Not only is the Minister of Local Government, Public Works and Urban Development Dr Ignatius Chombo fighting to keep his wife Marian Chombo from sharing the above properties and vehicles in a divorce settlement, he is also embroiled in a bitter power struggle with fellow ZANU PF members including Mr Dydimus Mutasa, George Charamaba and Patrick Chinamasa who were instrumental in the leaking of the above asserts to the ZANU PF paper The Herald. To many this has come as a surprise that The Herald has decided to publish such a story, ZANU PF officials are normally a “no go” when it comes to their personal affairs. This only proves that someone higher up in ZANU PF has decided to use the newspaper as weapon against Dr Chombo, desperate times call for desperate measures. According to a popular newsite Dr Chombo’s legal team have denied that he owns 90% of the asserts listed above and are threatening to sue The Herald for defamation  but Chombo’s people have been forward they threatened the editor not to get involved with the Party’s infighting. At this rate ZANU PF does need the MDC to bring them down, from where I stand I think they are capable of doing it themselves, the factions, the power struggle etc.

So not only has his wealth got tongues wagging in Zimbabwe it has also set-off members of the War Veterans associations and  some top  ZANU PF members. MDC has already called for an enquiry into how Dr Chombo has amassed so much wealth on a government Minister’s salary. Dr Chombo can argue that he is an entrepreneurial genius when it comes to business and dealing in Property but we all know the truth, these guys did not get into politics to make Zimbabwe a better place to live. The above asserts are only a fraction of what this man owns and it comes as no surprise as this is more wide spread than we are meant to believe. This is just a tip of the iceberg and this man is no stranger to corruption accusations. These guys are in it for the money and Chombo is not the only culprit. Will this be brought before the Anti-Corruption Commission don’t hold your breath, why because we all know Dr Chombo will not go down alone, besides I don’t think the Anti-Corruption Commission has enough resources to deal with the corruption and mismanagement by ZANU PF.

Philip Chiyangwa

“I have assets with a value of about US$200 million and if it means selling everything to ensure that the MDC does not get into power, let it be,” Philip Chiyangwa

Am I the only one getting tired of the Mr Philip “Lord Ashcroft” Chiyangwa’s self-promotion? Last year this man told the Zimbabwe Telegraph Newspaper that the main reason he got out of politics was that there was no money (Chombo begs to differ). Chiyangwa was forced out of politics for his spying antics and should not forget the little lesson Uncle Bob taught him at the hands of the CIO.

The wealthy businessman has recently donated U$100k for the ZANU PF annual conference  to be held in Mutare next month and is willing to put all asserts which he values at U$200 million on the line just make sure that ZANU PF comes out victorious in next year’s elections.  Is this money to buy votes or to mobilise the troops. Chiyangwa is not really doing this for ZANU PF  he is doing this (which I doubt he ‘ll do) to save his own skin. The attention seeking Chiyangwa has labelled the MDC “the country’s enemies” and “sell-outs” in a bid to gain favour from ZANU PF and giving himself that self-promotion he is always craving. No doubt Philip is a “hard” worker and has amassed vast amounts of wealth over the years in the name of affirmative action, but it is people like him who have benefited from the corruption and favouritism of ZANU PF and should they (ZANU PF) be removed from power business might not be the same as the other party MDC-T is calling for transparency and accountability, something the Chiyangwas of Zimbabwe will have a problem with. Some argue that this man is a genius but I say he is a man who has been able to use his political influences and connections very wisely and shrewdly. If most of us were given this chance I’m sure we could produce the same results. Why has Mr Chiyangwa recently dropped the lawsuit against the people of Harare (Harare City Council) over the residential stands he bought at w-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-y below the market value?

One can only come to the conclusion that the only reason Mr Philip Chiyangwa would give away his children’s inheritance to ZANU PF is that he knows which side his bread is buttered and who butters it. With all the poverty and suffering in Zimbabwe why doesn’t he put his money to better use, go on philanthropic journey through the country making sure those who are less fortunate benefit from your “hard” work this way we might remember you as a good man. I do not dispute this man has a few dollars to his name and everyone is entitled to do what they want with their money but Chiyangwa is more of a pain than a saint in our society. Most of his ill-gotten wealth was on the the back of his political affiliations and its a matter of time before they come knocking on your door. Chiyangwa knows if he gives his bribe money to ZANU PF and they get back into power he can come back and get every cent spent, should you choose to go ahead with this Phil prepare to live life as a mendicant as this is the end of the road for your masters.

Whenever Phil opens his mouth its to let us know what car he is driving , how big his house is, what company he is buying, how much this cost, how much he paid for that or recently reminding us of how much he is worth, this is when he is at his best showing off. He meausres his success by how people react to his gloating and showing off, something the struggling masses of Zimbabwe can do without.

Chiyangwa, should you want to embarrass yourself I urge you to follow your dreams and stand for Harare MP and find out if its still a myth or reality that the cities and urban areas in Zimbabwe belong to the opposition.

Prime Minister Tsvangirai

“Robert Mugabe and I have agreed to hold elections next year and whoever loses should not challenge the out come of the polls”

…….Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai recently told members of his Party at a rally in Gokwe that he had had a gentlemans agreement with Robert “Geriatric” Mugabe that whoever loses the elections walks out of office. Personally I wonder what the reaction was from the party members, did their jaws drop to the floor or were they rolling on the floor laughing out loud…..

Where has this man been for the last 30 years? or better yet has the last 2 years been erased from his memory? Mugabe  has a serious case of  not doing what he says or adhearing to any agreements and he would not know what a gentleman’s agreement was if it hit him in the face. Tsvangirai and MDC won the last election and Mugabe and JOC (Joint Operations Command) bullied their way back into power. Tsvangirai has been accused of making rushed decisions in the past that have left him in a pickle with party members and he must be a fool to think Mugabe would buy him a beer to toast to his victory in next years elections. I wonder if he had the same conversation with JOC (Joint Operations Command) and they agreed to it as they are the ones he has to worry about.  JOC has Mugabe running around as time is running out, they even have him begging Obama and Cameron to become friends again. Having sanctions lifted and making sure they stay in Power is at the top of  Mugabe’s Bucket List, Does the  PM seriously think when (not “if”) ZANU loses the elections they will go without a fight. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has a few issues when it comes to Mugabe, he is still scared of the man and wants to play the nice guy, I nauseate everytime he tries to sell him, show us that they are  getting along or put him across like he is a decent man with Zimbabweans at heart, Sorry Prime Minister we know what Robert is like, if you want  to think otherwise you go ahead. If Zimbabwe had a history of democracy and straight forward free and fair elections I’d say the Prime Minister has a chance but once again Mugabe has him drinking from the palm of his hand, it didn’t take long for The Geriatric  One to tame Tsvingirai.

What has changed since the last time Mugabe and ZANU rigged the elections, what has Tsvangirai and the MDC done to have such confidence that 2008 will never repeat itself over who takes over. If the constitutional exercise had ZANU running around what more of the elections Mugabe is now just a front man for the Party, the mere face of ZANU, the end of the road is within sight and we all know that, him leaving because the ballot says so is a joke.

I can guarantee that these words uttered by the Prime Minister at the rally are going to come back and bite him in the ass, Mugabe is going unleash “his” army and militia onto MDC, get the violence in motion rig the elections and tell the Prime Minister and party to hit the road….

Does the PM employ any Advisers or Strategist? Because if he does the party should get a refund. You are ill equipped for The Geriatric One.

Heroes Acre

The last time I visited the Heroes Acre I was a wee lad in Primary School grade 6 I think it was, from the time our School bus entered the shrine to time we left I was in awe of this magnificent place, the beauty of black granite stone and the real reason we were there, the Heroes. Its one thing learning about these fallen heroes in school its another visiting their place of rest. Back then everyone laid to rest deserved their heroe status. No-one (according to me) had been in the media for the wrong reasons, no-one had been on a looting spree, none of them had shamed themselves in any scams or were responsible for the suffering of their people, they were all deserving. >>>>>>>>>Fast Forward to 2010 you find some shady characters laid to rest here, nolonger is the Heroes Acre a place for Heroes but for top ZANU PF officials. Prof Mutambara was right when he said that the Zanu-PF Politburo had no jurisdiction to determine national hero status to national icons, who are they to decide? Just because Heroes Acre was built while they were in power doesn’t give them the right. Mugabe and ZANU have recently denied Gibson Sibanda of the MDC-M Heroe Status why… clearly because he represented the opposition his contribution to the Liberation struggle was overlooked but Mugabe was quick to grant this satus to his sister Sabina and brother-in-law Reward Marufu. Not all Heroes back this regime, some do not support them at all and I guarantee that they will not even get a state assisted burial that is the price you pay for jumping ship and as long the ZANU PF Politiburo is tasked with such decisions you will never see any members of the opposition laid to rest at the shrine.

ZANU PF are nolonger relevant, they lost the last electons and bullied their way into staying in power, when are they going to get it that most Zimbabweans do not want them making decisons on their behalf. ZANU PfFis a Political Party not the Government, things change is this is the way they operated in 1983 its time to wake up an smell the coffee time have moved on. They have looted so many farms over the years why not turn one of them into ZANU PF shrine and I promise you you will nver see such posts from me, Leave Heroes Acre for true Heroes people who have positively contributed to Zimbabwean Society. We have to move on in 30 years time there will be no more liberation “heroes” what are we going to do then…….shut the gates to the shrine…..I dont think so. Its time ZANU PF was relieved of making such decicions as we all know what happens when they decide for us.

Words fail me, but I’ll give it a go……In Zimbabwe “Zuze” is a name given to a dodgy character and the Idiot of the Week has lived upto his name.

Magistrate Samuel Zuze convited and fined a group of farmers who were refusing to vacate farms they have occupied for more than a hundred years. The farmers then filed an appeal in the High Court which Zuze failed to recognise issuing an arrest warrant and eviction orders.

One would ask why Zuze was not letting justice prevail and ask questions as to why he is in such a rush to get rid of these farmers…..Well the answer is Magistrate Samuel Zuze is a direct beneficiary of the land and grab and is about to take over one of the farms. He should never have ruled on this case as he was not goin to be impartial.

Magistrate Samuel Zuze can be contacted on +263 91 25 20994, give him call or send him a text, let him know what you think.

Magistrate Samuel Zuze’s OFFER LETTER

The Zimbabwe Sanctions List (2009)

This week Geneva played host to Robert Mugabe at the ICT Conference, why he attended we are all still wondering why?????

What does Robert know about ICT and communications? Whats he doing  in Europe, I thought he was on a ban? Whats he doing at an ICT conference, why doesn’t he leave it to the experts. This man goes to conference after conference (maybe to get away from Grace) but its nothing that ever benefits the average zimbabwean.

He told the conference that the internet posed a threat to the moral fibre of Zimbabwean people, basically he has a few issues with the internet and he is worried that Zimbabweans will go crazy once they all have access to the net. He is aware that it is a very good communication tool but he would like some control over it. To that I say get on your bike (or Zimmer frame) old man, we know what happens when you manage or control anything. Does he think we are little kids who cant think for themselves, Zimbabweans as a nation have been more than okay when it comes to knowing whats right or wrong we certainly dont need any managment or control.

Mugabe you want to control everything let us be please, we know you have issues with “your” people accessing varying forms of media but not everyone goes online to surf for porn or to commit cyber crime.

This man has tried his best to control independant radio stations and Newpapers, those he hasn’t closed down he has kicked out of the country.

The internet has transformed many lives around the world and the Zimbabwean people should not let this man hold them back, we can manage and control it ourselves ask Chamisa about security software tools, firewalls etc.

Remember what happened with the mobile phone industry in Zimbabwe, they wanted to manage and control it and in doing so the country was left behind and the industry is only picking up now at a very slow rate.

The Prime minister’s arrogance did not help the situation and I’m sure he will not be repeating that any time soon. The exiles behaved in a way many Zimbabweans living in Zimbabwe would like to, but they know too well what will happen to them if they behaved in such a way torward Mugabe or any of his people. When was the last time Mugabe was jeered or heckled?….um…um….um….not a lot…um…um..mum…um Its not because people don’t want to its because “political freedom of expression” dont exist in Zimbabwe. This is all new to the PM now hopefully he will take those in the dispora seriously and stop treating them like a 5th Grade scince group (Listen to me……..um…um.um…Let me tell you…..um…um).
