I support Morgan Tsvangirai 100% on the need to take mass action and create the urgency necessary for ZANU (PF) to wake up and smell the coffee. In fact I will join him.
I can't believe some opposition parties, academics including some infamous Pentecostal churches who are saying this will disrupt the economy! What economy when we have 90% of our people in irking a living in the informal sector and are now to be taxed even more to fund a government that is presiding over a failed state; when millions of dollars are being stolen and spent not on reviving this economy, but in propping up the lifestyles of a leadership cabal that has lost the plot.
Nothing riled me more than the ridiculous rant from ZANU (PF)'s infamous Didymus Mutasa, who comes out to say that the politburo can even change the laws to accommodate Gono's bid to be senator in Manicaland. How low can we get?
Our problem in Zimbabwe is that we have a bunch of opposition politicians who think that things will change through corporate politics and press conferences from board rooms. Nothing can be further from the truth!
We also have an pathetic business sector which remains complicit and is quick to run and raise funds for ZANU (PF) functions at the drop of a hat. Our churches have unashamedly failed on their mandate to commit themselves to the truth at all costs; all they want are thousands of members who feel pity for themselves to flock to their gatherings and "sacrifice" their hard earned dollars with the expectation that God will reward them. The motives of the new prophetpreneurs are disgusting and Tsvangirai must rightly ignore these parasites who are feeding on the hopelessness of Zimbabweans.
Imagine if thousands of Zimbabweans who sacrificed their lives for our freedom had also taken the same view; that going to join the struggle would disrupt the economy and peace; that is was better to talk to Ian Smith and have gradual change than to have majority rule as a matter of urgency.
