My Dear People.
As the country heads to elections on August 23, the dispensation of darkness, poverty and confusion continues to demonstrate why it is not fit for purpose with the latest show of this being its excitable and utterly hopeless Information minister Monica.
After a train wreck of an interview with South African television channel Newsroom Africa in which she huffed and puffed utter hogwash while putting her ignorance on full show in the face of the unfamiliar territory of being grilled by a professional journalist as opposed to the parrots at Pockets Hill, one would have expected that the minister would be better prepared for the follow up interview with the Sabc.
There was no such luck. Monica just made a bad situation wors, failing to explain what the acronym Zacc stands for.
Talking about fighting corruption as a government she called the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission, the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Company which made me cringe in embarrassment.
For goodness sake, here was the country’s Information minister stuttering on the name of a commission she said was a key institution in the fight against graft.

It was a representation of the cluelessness that runs across the entire spectrum of Ngwena’s regime.
Monica is clearly one of the worst Information ministers the country has had and given some of the airheads that have occupied that office, that is quite some feat. Kikikikii
Ngwena launched the party’s election campaign in Chipinge and as usual the octogenarian put his foot in his mouth.
In his address he boasted about having ensured the availability of fuel of which there had been an acute shortage.
It seems to have escaped the Lacoste leader that the shortage was as a result of the worthless currency he had introduced in 2019 without the fundamentals for its stability.
It was only after fuel was sold in United States dollars which his regime had banned, did it become freely available.
If anything, the availability of fuel after being forced by market forces to bring back the greenback should be a hallmark of shame for the deluded leader.
In a development that was symbolic of the poverty Ngwena’s policies have entrenched, there were reports of party members suffering injuries as they fought for food at the campaign launch.
Instead of listening to their leader’s speech, which was full of repetitive drivel, they focused on issues of the stomach, a recurring characteristic of the second repubric kkkk.
Mthuli’s move to blend inflation statistics in an attempt to camouflage the embarrassing levels of inflation in Zimbabwe dollar terms has, like all the other gymnastics to hide the government’s horrendous incompetence, failed dismally.
In March this year, Mthuli came up with the harebrained move to promulgate statutory instrument 27 of 2023 which blended the Zimbabwe dollar and the United States dollar prices with the obvious intention of giving the impression that inflation is on a downward trend.
Alas, the mirage has not lasted long, with inflation, even at blended levels, back to three digit levels, 175,8% in June to be precise.
Month on month inflation is also galloping towards three digit levels with the June figure having breached the 70% mark.
At one stage during his disastrous tenure that cannot end soon enough, Mthuli actually barred the announcement of inflation statistics.
And to think that some local business personalities in the country had the audacity to call this fellow, the best finance minister the country has ever had.
Munopenga!!!
It is mind boggling that in the face of such an economic catastrophe, the nutty one tells the country zvakarongeka (everything is in order).
He reminds me of the Iraqi information minister who earned the nickname Comical Ali, who during the evisceration of his country in the war with Americans in 1991, said that his government was in complete control. In Mthuli he has found a worthy successor.
MDC-T leader Dougie Mwonzora, hard hit by the failure of running a party with party members baying for his blood and still recovering from the trouncing in last year’s by elections, is now starting to see shadows.
The bespectacled clueless leader who would struggle to run a tuck shop, let alone a political party, told his party members that its failure to register party members to contest the elections was because the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission(Zec) was sabotaging it due to the decision to challenge the delimitation of electoral boundaries in court.
Nothing could be further from the truth which is that despite receiving undeserved funding courtesy of the Political Parties Act, it failed to pay the registration fees for its candidates.
Zec is not known for its competence, but it surely is a stretch for Dougie to blame it for his failure to even do the most basic of things of paying for his own candidates.
The sooner this confused party is thrown into the dustbin of history, the better.
