Letter to my people: Third term politics: Its history repeating itself

By Doctor Stop It | May. 26, 2024

Ncube told Parliament that the government was struggling to keep up with payments to schools for arears under the Beam programme as the treasury's budget was now overstretched.

My Dear People

So poor Chris Mutsvangwa’s enemies in Zanu PF are giving his son Neville the same dose of medicine they usually dish out to those that are perceived to be threats to the cabal’s continued hold on power.

Following his arrest early this month on allegations of illegal dealing in foreign currency and owning a Starlink router, Neville was denied bail by a Harare magistrate court.

He then appealed to the High Court and a ruling was expected last Wednesday, but to his legal team’s surprise the judge told them that they had not filed a record of the lower court’s judgement to enable her to rule on the case.

Just like that Nevillle was condemned to another weekend in cold cells of remand prison.

For Zimbabweans that followed the cases involving Fadzayi Mahere, Job Sikhala, Jacob Ngarivhume and Joana Mamombe, the developments did not come as a surprise.

One of the things the so-called second repubric has done well is to capture the judiciary, especially the lower courts, to use bail as an instrument to punish its opponents by keeping them in remand prison for longer than necessary.

The treatment that Neville is getting flies in the face of his father’s claims that the owners of this country have nothing to do with his predicament.

I don’t believe that Chris is that naïve not to see that his son’s persecution is being engineered by a powerful force.

In the meantime, vultures are circling on Chris and his fate as the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWA) chairman could be sealed as early as next month.

Someone seems to have just conveniently remembered that the ZNLWA congress is long overdue and elections must be organised as quickly as possible to replace Chris’ executive that has been in power for well over six years.

The outgoing executive was installed as part of the machinations to stage that cowardly coup against Gushungo in 2017 where Chris and Matemadanda were used to decampaign the fountain of wisdom until the ground was fertile for mass protests.

Well, they say what goes around comes around. It’s time for Chris and his surrogates to taste their own medicine kikikikiki

Owen ‘Mudha’ Ncube, who was in January 2022 fired by his godfather as State Security minister for “conduct that was deemed inappropriate for a minister of government”, has become the face of Ngwena’s subtle campaign to stay in power beyond the constitutionally permissible 10 years.

Mudha has been going around the Midlands where he is provincial minister chanting silly slogans to the effect that the scarfed one will still be in power in 2030.

It is as if they have forgotten what befell me and my husband only six years ago. Who still remembers my interface rallies where I used to boast that Gushungo would rule you from the grave?

Power can be very intoxicating. As someone with first-hand experience, I want to warn the Lacoste cabal to tread carefully on this third term nonsense could be their Waterloo.

Munopengaaaaaaa

Last week, social media platforms were awash with pictures of Ngwena and Wicknell enjoying a weekend at the Lacoste cabal leader’s farm in Kwekwe.

Their bromance reminded me of a June 2018 story by the Horrid, which quoted Ngwena telling Wicknell that Chikurubi was not yet full.

He was referring to the Gwanda solar project where the ex-con, who seems to be now the scarfed one’s bossom buddy, was controversially awarded the tender to set up the solar project in Matabeleland South.

After pocketing millions of dollars from Zesa, Wicknell is yet to deliver anything.

MPs that went to the site at a farm in Gwanda this past week were shocked to see only a single solar panel and derelict buildings as the signs of progress at what is supposed to be a multi-million dollar project.

Yet you were marching on the streets of Harare to hound a 93 year-old man whom you claimed was being surrounded by criminals!

After sanctioning the construction of luxury villas that will cost millions of dollars and sinking billions of ZiGs on Harare’s roads in preparation for a Sadc summit that will only last a few days, Mthuli says the government has no money to pay school fees for hundreds of thousands of school children under the Basic Education Assistance Module (Beam) scheme.

Ncube told Parliament that the government was struggling to keep up with payments to schools for arears under the Beam programme as the treasury's budget was now overstretched.

Education minister Torerai Moyo told the same parliamentary session that the government supported the engagement of debt collectors to deal with parents who are defaulting on settling school fees for their children.

What nonsense! For all his weaknesses, Gushungo never compromised on the education of children, especially from poor families.

If there was ever still any doubt that the so-called second repubric is anti-people, then Mthuli and Torerai’s statements in Parliament settled the debate once and for all.
