Theresa Makone

A couple of weeks ago the Prime Minister Morgan Richard Tsvaingirai fired the Co-Home Affairs Minister Giles Mutsekwa for incomptence. He replaced Mr Mutsekwa with one of his best friends and financiers of the MDC Party Theresa Makone. Mrs Makone is the other half of the Prime Minister’s Permanent Secretary and Adviser, Ian Makone. Before the ink had dried on her new contract Mrs Makone was already showering Didymusa Mutasa with favors. Mr Mutasa’s son Martin Mutasa,Temba Mliswa , and George Marere were arrested on fraud charges and Makone thought she would push her weight about as the Co-Home Affairs Minister and have him released but the police have stuck to their guns and refused to be bullied by this woman. ZRP anti-corruption………. maybe the country is heading in a new direction and I think I like it……..sadly corruption is still rife Chihuri just once to teach Mutasa a lesson.

This has left MDC-T really embarrased by Makone’s actions with many asking for her to step down, no doubt Mr Mutsekwa is having the last laugh. With best friends like Jocelyn Chiwenga, the wife of Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) commander Constantine Chiwenga and relatives like Mutasa many people have questioned her loyalties…stop questioning she has just proved it. Mrs Makone claims she just happend to be at the police station where Mutasa son was held when the Presidential Affairs Minister arrived.

If this is the face of change then Zimbabweans dont need it, We are trying to get rid of a corrupt regime, Martin Mutasa does the crime let him do the time.

Ghandi Mudzingwa, Chris Dhlamini and Shadreck Manyere have “escaped” with their lives some memebrs of MDC were not so lucky, they have been through a lot in the last months. These men have experienced the wrath of Mugabe’s regime at first hand, the abduction, the unlawful detention, the charges that have been brought against them and not forgetting the mental trauma and torture they have had to endure.

These men belong to the MDC Party and held top postions within the party and yet they are going through this alone, instead of fighting for luxury cars and laptops the party should have been fighting for their freedom. Accoding to Ghandi Mudzingwa,  Giles Mutsekwa of MDC who is now co-Minister of Home Affairs has not done much to try and secure freedom for them and if a man in such a position syas he has his hands tied then who is going to come to their recue. Maybe for Mr Mutsekwa this is a big job or has been told to stay out of it, he knows this very well as he himself has been detained and accused of plotting against Mugabe. Distancing yourself  (Mr Mutsekwa) from this whole situation is very shameful and you should not be fit to lead the people.

MDC has now been sucked in ZANU PF and are now operating under ZANU rules. As these men belong to the party surely what they are being accused of should be brought against the Party as well. According to Ghandi the abduction and torture was a collective effort of CIO, ZRP, Civil Military Junta and the Military Intelligence Department, this is way to big for the Prime Minister or anyone who thinks can lend a hand to the detainees. These men have been used as an example and I bet you no one is going to be prosecuted this as it has come from the top. Zimbabweans backed the MDC Party to do the right thing but if they stand and watch such inhuman treatment of fellow members i think they will soon find themselves with very few supporters.

Prime Minister Tsvangirai is where he is becasue of the Zimbabwean people, reason people voted for him was to get rid of the dictator not to schmooze up to him and be friends.If he is not careful he will soon learn why they say politics is a dirty game.
