Back in 2008 when Tsvangirai got into bed with the Geriatric one we knew it was going to be an endless bumpy ride. So many people were

Mugabe and Tsvangirai

sceptical of this union…why, because as Zimbabweans we are well versed in how Mugabe operates and from the onset we knew this was not going to be a 50/50 relationship. Many argue that Tsvangirai rushed into a deal to get into power as this might have been his only chance and now that he is there he is enjoying it at all costs. Today the MDC is on the receiving end,  are they spectators or are they participants in this “coalition” government. Ever heard of those  violent domestic relationships where mummy is verbally and physically abused by the alcoholic father, well this is one them, staged on the political arena. Daddy comes home drunk as skunk beats mummy till she is black and blue but she  smiles puts on a brave face and says everything is fine. As I tap away somewhere in Zimbabwe there are MDC supporters being  victimsed by the youth militia for political views. They say if you stay because of the kids it never works out……enough of the agony aunt. Every month the MDC produces a newsletter, The Changing Times listing all the perpetrators hounding them and all the injustices they face , who does anything about this, no one the PM just puts on a brave face and smiles. It makes my stomach churn when the  Tsvangirai sits there and smiles and chuckles holding Mugabe’s hand like all is well while his people are suffer up and down the country.

Mugabe has got the MDC where wanted them, close to him, now the people can’t even tell the difference between the two, the MDC is now an extension of Zanu PF. Now Mugabe has got them eating out of the palm of his hand, calling for the removal of the shopping  sanctions on his behalf, last year he had them running around the world saying what good guy he really is and very easy to deal with. For Mugabe its business as usual with or without the blessing of his concubines.  Appointments of his close aides are made without the consent of the Prime Minister or his Deputy. He promised Bennet would appointed as soon as he was exonerated, was he aquitted …Yes, is he going to be  appointed….eeerh NO that’s Zanu PF for you. It is common knowledge that Mugabe was never going to implement the GNU, the GPA never existed, how naive of the MDC to think that they were going to be equal partners.

Mugabe and ZANU PF are the only winners in the union, having lost the elections clearly and conclusively, they decided to bully their way back into power this time with the two MDC factions as crutches enabling them to go a little further in the destructuion and looting of national treasures. ZANU PF knows this is the last run so they are working over time, while the sitting ducks (MDC) just watch, their fighting spirit is a thing of the past.  Silenced by computers , cars and perks they let Mugabe and ZANU PF get on with what they do best. While ZANU loots MDC pursues the so-called outstanding issues they know very well that Mugabe is not going to let them have their way. They blame the stagnation of the GNU on these outstanding  issues, its time to change the record and take Mugabe head-on, you cannot be spectators of your own demise. Right now Mugabe holds the cards and he is going to surprise you, its time to wake up, talks will go on and on, you have had numerous talks that have amounted to nothing.

Remember these words……….Mugabe talks trash about the Presidency
