Zimbabwe: ZANU PF Press Statement on teh Planned Nation Wide Demonstrations by the MDC Alliance (28.08.2019)







Let’s be clear, this the art-piece of a con-artist. Michelangelo or Basquiat couldn’t have this masterpiece of deception. It is only a CONservative Prime Minister like Boris Johnson who could.
Today, his shown his clear intention. The man who was never elected by the people, to disregard all the people’s representatives and their constituencies. That in the final days Brexit, until the 31st October 2019. The Parliament is suspended the 14th October 2019. Making it near impossible to amend changes or follow standard protocol of Parliament and its chambers.
This is the trick that Johnson does today. With the blessing of the Queen and his Privy Council, while his made his remarks in constitutional offensive letter, earlier in the day. Because, clearly, the coward doesn’t have the bollocks or the balls to be present in-front of fellow peers. His a weak man, who only can use power, but stand guard to be questioned for using it. That is the sort of man Johnson is.
If he had courage, honour or respect for the democratic institutions in the United Kingdom. He would have started the Parliament after the Summer Recess and finally ended Brexit with humility. Alas, he wants to wing-it and disregard the rest of the representatives of the UK. He want to move-on at his own will and not get quarrels in Parliament. At least his predecessor had the courtesy to follow protocol in this matter.
That they supposed to “divers urgent and important matters” when they return. Like they got the time for Parliament to convene and find deliberate actions concerning Brexit. This is clear message, that Johnson want to skirmish his “No-Deal” without the procedures followed.
Boris is showing lack of understanding his role, because his not representing the people, but his own will. Johnson takes this step, since he fears what the Parliament could do. The hung parliament have already caused problems for the transitional deal, the Withdrawal Agreement and not like Johnson has the time to fix the issues within that one. Neither, is he giving anyone time to make good suggestions ahead of the revoking date of the Member State role within the European Union.
He wants to end this with a blast, with a big-bang, where the corporations are more prepared to remove locations and assets into the EU markets. This has already been done big funds and corporations already, Dublin is the winner and many plans to move to the Netherlands too.
Certainly, Brexit deserves to questioned, under scrutiny and handled properly by the Parliament. Not be done in silence and secretly by the chosen few of the PM. Instead it seems to be the way, as the Queen, the Prime Minister and the Privy Council got it done today.
This shows how someone is ramming into the institutions on his own will, instead of actually having an ear to the other MPs and Lords, also they are there on behalf of the people. That is why this sort of actions shows his contempt with the other legislators.
Johnson is a COWARD. A weak man, with a high office. Not a respectable or an honourable man. Because, if he was, he would have the ability to listen to people and accepts their verdicts of your plans. Instead, he wants to be the big-man writing decrees and get t done his way. This is the sort of man he is.
Since we all know, there will not be much time between 14th October and 31st October 2019. 17 days and you cannot manage much.
That why this is crashing out of the Union, in a mediocre and insincere way of Johnson. Boris the Blade, surely forgotten his role in society and what institution his a part off. Peace.

The Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane CR17 Report must be the head-shot to the Presidency of Ramaphosa. Because the actions made by the African National Congress Study Group have started to look into the basis of removing her from her position.
Certainly, the report, which Ramaphosa through his lawyers are banning from publishing or releasing to the public. Is already evident of the approach done by the President and his team. They are clearly aware of the possible problems with the initial findings in the report. If not, the report would have been public and the President would have had no concern at home.
However, the act of the ANC isn’t new, they have buried reports in the past like the Dentons report of 2015 was released late in 2017. That was to show the ills with the ESKOM and their dealings. This CR17 report strikes right at the heart of government, the President and his closest associates.
The Republic that is still in the midst of unravelling the State Capture case, the predecessor inquired about his dealings. Zuma must surely find this funny, as his second in-command doing the same thing. But who knows with who. Because, we know the Gupta’s had a well-placed space within the Zuma adminstration, but who knows who funded the CR17 and the hidden truths in that report.
It doesn’t help that the ANC is doing this. It makes it worse. It is bad enough that the lawyers and attorneys of Ramaphosa sues the Public Protector and wants to shield the report from the public. This doesn’t help that after that, the President and his party is research the possible ways of dropping the person that did the investigation of him.
That is a weakness and of a dire need of the truth. That the ANC will now find ways of show misconduct or even incompetence in the coming days wouldn’t be surprising. They will pin something on the Public Protector. Not to give the truth to the public, but save their grand leader, their big-man and the head of state.
So, when the ANC does this, when his attorneys has done this already. What is in that Report Ramaphosa? And on that note: What did you do? Peace.

The Ministry of Finance and the whole ZANU-PF have to showed and told the world that they paid Ferts, Seed & Grain (FSG), the Merdian owned corporation the amount of $400m in 2019. The same company they paid $69m and couldn’t answer for the usage of funds.
This is the same company, which came into a scandal in 2018, for the lack of production and equipment for the order of fertilizers in an $89m, a year later, the same company is supposed to be good enough to carry a $400m deal. This is outrages and make the Republic look like a fool.
The family of Morland must be in joy of the fortunes they are making, all of them. Steve Morland, the director, Operation Andrew Morland and Factory Tony Morland. All of them must have joyful days, even though, maybe Isaac Muranganwa, the financial controller is a bit pre-occupied finding reasons for these trades. In addition, Kara Morland is busy finding the New PR Stunt, after the sudden Presser explaining the $400m deal today with Command Agriculture.
If this company struggled to produce for the contract in 2018, which is under ¼ of the current estimated deal, than we have a shallow grave and a ghost sales of epic proportions to the Merdian owned FSG. The Morland operated of Kew Drive in the Highlands in Harare. Surely, when I can do this research. The ones doing the tenders within government should be able to do this too.
So, when the Public Accountants Committee in Parliament cannot answer this, but has the ability to overshadow the shady deal with a company, they have previously engaged in. They should surely be more careful. Instead they hope of the ignorance of the people.
When, I a nobody can find this information and even the previous scandal in mind, the state is showing lack of due diligence or lack of care for own spending. As they have spent close to $500m to uncertain deals, as a part of Command Agriculture, where about $469m be questioned, two shady deals, the same company and surely the same culprits in-charge.
Alas, ZANU-PF doesn’t kid itself, only the public, they and cheat, while people have to ask for debt-relief. Peace.



The act of Finance Act No 2. was gazetted today on the 21st August 2019. What is weird to be is the two following codes or sections, this being the 22 and 23, which is countering each other. I am finding this as financial voodoo with the currencies. As this act is initially making the RTGS Dollar and Zimbabwe Dollars equal. Combined with the enacted value of the RTGS Dollar, the same as the US Dollar. Which by all accounts are impossible, as the exchange rate isn’t that static, neither followed by law. Unless, the state plans to infuse cash-flow and beat the rates between the RTGS Dollar and the US Dollar.
Alas, the madness, continues with the legislation gazetted today. I will show the two parts of the legislation, before addressing it a bit more. Under the sections itself.
“22 Issuance and legal tender of RTGS dollars, savings, transitional matters and validation (1)Subject to section 5, for the purposes of section 44C of the principal Act, the Minister shall be deemed to have prescribed the following with effect from the first effective date—
(a) that the Reserve Bank has, with effect from the first effective date, issued an electronic currency called the RTGS dollar; and
(b) that Real Time Gross Settlement system balances expressed in the United States dollar (other than those referred to in section 44C(2) of the principal Act), immediately before the first effective date, shall from the first effective date be deemed to be opening balances in RTGS dollars at par with the United States dollar; and
(c) that such currency shall be legal tender within Zimbabwe from the first effective date; and
(d) that, for accounting and other purposes (including the discharge of financial or contractual obligations), all assets and liabilities that were, immediately before the first effective date, valued and expressed in United States dollars (other than assets and liabilities referred to in section 44C(2) of the principal Act) shall on the first effective date be deemed to be values in RTGS dollars at a rate of one-to-one to the United States dollar” (Finance (No. 2) ACT, 2019).
“23 Zimbabwe dollar to be the sole currency for legal tender purposes from second effective date
(1) For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to subsection (4), it is declared that with effect from the second effective date, the British pound, United States dollar, South African rand, Botswana pula and any other foreign currency whatsoever are no longer legal tender alongside the Zimbabwe dollar in any transactions in Zimbabwe.
(2) Accordingly, the Zimbabwe dollar shall, with effect from the second effective date, but subject to subsection (4), be the sole legal tender in Zimbabwe in all transactions.
(3) For the avoidance of doubt it is declared that, from the second effective date—
(a) references to the Zimbabwe dollar are coterminous with references to the following and to no other forms of legal tender or currency— (i) the bond notes and coins referred to in section 44B of the principal Act; and (ii) the electronic currency prescribed for the purposes of section 44C of the principal Act, that is to say to the RTGS dollar;
(b) the above mentioned bond notes and RTGS dollars are at par with the Zimbabwe dollar on and after the second effective date, that is to say each bond note unit and each RTGS dollar is equivalent to a Zimbabwe dollar, and each hundredth part of a bond note unit and each hundredth part of a RTGS dollar is equivalent to a Zimbabwean cent” (Finance (No. 2) ACT, 2019).
Because, this is the continuation of the hectic balances and switching of currencies. That they are declaring foreign currencies as illegal tenders in Zimbabwe. Is to be expected, as they are getting a new currency or revamping a dead one. Still, the ZANU-PF should have ensured it better.
As they have had temporary measures like Bond-Notes and RTGS Dollars, which they are still infusing into the Zimbabwe Dollars, as a measure, where the ones who paid more than one-to-one with USD. Will lose funds and within that system, the state will initially shave-off funds from the public as they are transferring to RTGS Dollars or even Zim Dollars.
Combined with that shortfall in the public, as the inflation is still on the rise. The add-ons of financial distress will continue, as the state is still using half-measures to contain the economy, with the values and laws around the RTGS, instead of going all in with the Zimbabwe Dollars. They are in this and makes the mash-up between the RTGS/Bond-Notes and Zimbabwe Dollars. All of these three currencies are supposed to be equal and in tandem.
That will confuse and make it messy, as the electronic, the half-measured bond-notes and the revamped Zim Dollar are supposed to change the economy. This financial instrument is supposed to be the key to the troubles the economy is in.
I just don’t see it, I see it as a hectic abstract transaction system used to be able to fix and configure funds, by jumping between the three and taking more funds out of it while the public is losing on the various currencies. This is all made by the state and they are initially doing this to their own. Instead of thinking out one path to beat the hurdle, they are instead making it three. While, they still proclaiming Zim Dollar as the only one, but opening up to continue the two others.
Which is a sophisticated way of ensuring the state to get the Forex or exchange between them. As you have to exchange or pay in one form, the one set as the standard or the Zim Dollar, meaning, if you planning to move the RTGS Dollar to pay for something, that has to be transferred into Zim Dollar.
Financial voodoo and the public will suffer, because the state isn’t cleaning the slate, but trying to patch up wounds with yet another half-baked measure. Peace.

She had it all, she was a golden child of the President, the former radio presenter from Koboko, who became the Youth Representative MP for the Northern Uganda in 2011 and became the incumbent winner in 2016. Evelyn Anite in her second term became also a State Minister for Investment & Privatization. Where she has now shown force, but maybe she’s aiming to high, a bit to fast.
That is why the recent months, she has both expressed pressure on the clean-up for ownership, audit of and transparency surrounding Uganda Telecom Limited (UTL). A company the government had sold to Libyan owners, but had to re-corporate and restructure after the fall of Gadaffi. Now, this has turned a bitter pill for the loyal subject and minister. She has lashed out and said the mafia is out after her.
Certainly, she has ruffed some feathers, she has questioned some big-men, which will not accept to be hassled with. Anite has with her quest to clear the slate of the UTL, she has surely gone into the hidden secrets within the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and the government itself. Where she should have stayed away. As the ones who does that, is the likes of Muhammad Kirumira, Andrew Felix Kaweesi and so on.
They did all say similar things like Anite. They were on the rise and was also saying there would be a moment of silence, if you pushed the forces of power in the Republic. That is what Anite now is stating too. She calls it a mafia running the government, that means she is directly a part of racket herself. Meaning, it was cool, when she was a “made man” within it, until she crossed within the boundaries and codes within the mafia. This is what it seems, because, why else would she blast and rant like this in the public?
Anite is now going far, but sounding more like the opposition, than someone who is government. She could be mixed with Besigye or Bobi Wine in this matter. There is similarities in the usage of words. Because, the tale of going after the walking dead within the UTL is to costly. That the NRM doesn’t want to show the dark-side of the business and how its done. This is why, she suddenly shouldn’t continue to pursuit it.
Anite is therefore, receiving the hardship, which is usually intended on the dissidents and not the ones whose loyal to the projects of the President and his cronies. Evelyn though she was made and part of the inner-circle. Instead, she has crossed a path, which the NRM doesn’t accept. That is why Ante is in trouble and shouts out so loud.
Instead of winning, she’s continue to loose. Anite isn’t succeeding …. she is failing and not finding her way out of the trouble that she has put herself in. She could have let it all go, because this is more a ego-boost and to prove her place within the hierarchy.
She was a soldier, a loyal subject and a “made-man” but not one of them. An outsider, who got a big position. Now she is afraid of the enforcers, as the confidants and the consigliere advice behind closed chambers, maybe has aimed at her. Because, she broken a secret code and added pressure on something she shouldn’t have.
That is why she has fallen, why she’s trailing. She hasn’t resigned or even backed away from the mafia. She’s still there and trying to get through. But will she? Will she end up like others whose been taken out or is she another Abiriga in the waiting?
We don’t know, but she surely has fallen from the pedestal and is now a commoner with a fancy title. Peace.
