It is such a shame the two of you have decided to fight out your differences in the public arena while doing nothing to address the economic plight of millions of Zimbabweans who are suffering because of the economic system that you have both been complicit in creating and are primary beneficiaries of.
To some of us who wish to see a better Zimbabwe emerging out the ashes of ZANU (PF) policy failures, we are hardly impressed by the accusations and counter accusations that you are trading because, no matter their veracity, they will not put food on the table or create desperately needed jobs.
True, ZANU (PF) needs a fundamental renewal of values and leadership. On that I concur with you Mai Mugabe. If you really wanted to be ,you could be the solution by being fearless to expose and address head on, all the issues which continue to hold our country back but have been largely ignored to date by your husband, especially the issue of corruption. For a minute I was really excited that you would do that, but it appears that this is not on your agenda.
Mai Mujuru, you have been honourable up to now, by taking the blows quietly and not being impulsive. Because of this, you have so far avoided fuelling this quarrel unnecessarily. That was a good strategy until when you spuriously dismissed what most of us think are serious and not trivial allegations.
I guess you are conveniently unaware of the resentment which we have on how this government, at which you have been at the centre of, continues to rob us of our future while dithering on coming up with a comprehensive and inclusive agenda for economic recovery as a matter of urgency. Corruption levelled at the second highest office of this land is not a trivial matter madam. It's a serious matter that requires a considered response and your urgent attention.
However, regardless of who may "win" the arguments, I must register my utter dismay in the way the two of you have decided to deal with the issues that separate you. You would achieve more by cooperating and doing your utmost to reverse ZANU (PF) policies and take a new path, than by trading harsh words in public; that is what true leaders do. Unfortunately it's a bit too late for that now.
