Opinion: Kusasira, your eating now, but it will not last forever

If you remember the shiny suits era of Sean Combs aka Puff Daddy or P. Diddy, even Diddy for that matter. Than, you know he had Black Rob, Mase, The Lox and other artist on his rooster. Now, none of them is nowhere. Why do I say that?

Well, the same lesson has to be taken by the musicians now associating, becoming presidential advisors and inter-connected with the State House and President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. One of the new associates and Presidential Advisor Cathrine Kusasira will end-up like Mason Betha aka Mase. Cry foul, be bitter and left astray.

There will be no difference with her. Right now she is driving an SUV, she has more cash than she can spend and arrogance higher then Mount Elgon. However, she does not have the credibility nor the accountability to stand for this money. Neither, does she has the history, the moral background nor the capacity to prove her distinctive value as an Presidential Advisor. She’s just there to be a ghetto gimmick.

Cathrine might think highly of herself. As she is proud showing of the newfound wealth, the short-sighted and lack of tact. Not that Kusasira is considering that, she is her moment of glory and proudly one of them now. She is the NRM and the NRM is her, apparently.

The shiny suits did end, just like it flashed the seen, the gritty realities got into the music and took away the poppy sound of Bad Boy Records. In this regard, the same will happen to Cathrine and her like. They are useful tools now ahead and during campaigns for 2021. As they are representatives for the lost generation of the ghetto, which is where Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine directly represents. That’s why the President has picked her and gave her the pedestal now.

Well, you might bash in glory, you might have the money and able to push your narrative for this moment. The monetary gains feels like winning the lottery right now. However, this money is tainted, the cash that is shown will be proof of how easily you could be bribed and gotten used by the President. It is not a prove of a independent mind, but someone whose bought…

You got your shiny suit, you got your bag of money, but you didn’t build anything. Neither did you as an advisor do anything that has benefited the public. The only thing Kusasira is showing the world, the republic that you get benefits from being used by the President. That you don’t have any common sense or ability to see all of this.

Well, the shiny suit, the SUV and the bag of cash. However, that will not save her or her mission.

Cathrine. You might have it all right now, but this will not last. You might not see it, but we do. Even Puff Daddy said: “Bad Boys for Life”. But how many of his original rooster is there with him today? Not so many right? Yeah. Think of that for a moment. Peace.

Mali: Communique du Gouvernement de la Repubique du Mail (14.02.2020)

Opinion: Lungu and Magufuli are two sides of the same coin

This week has been a lesson, people should be aware that the Zambian President Edgar Lungu and Tanzanian John Pombe Magafuli are using similar tactics to stifle their opposition leaders. These two gentlemen in power is using their authority and state apparatus to stop them.

President Lungu will most likely target his main competitor Hakainde Hichelema (UPND), expect that HH will be in trouble regardless. HH was not only targeted by the Police and used tear-gas on the crowds as the President wanted to hold his rally at the same town. Lungu instead of being a statesman. We couldn’t expect that ahead of the elections in 2021. As the Zambian authorities have blocked rallies just because they lack space in their prison locally last year. So, don’t expect HH to not get into legal trouble and somehow get the blame for the violence ushered from the state. Because, that was a guy like Lungu does.

President Magufuli will continue with his rampage and oppressive behaviour towards the opposition. This will be centred at ACT-Wazeledo Zitto Kabwe and CHADEMA’s Tundu Lissu. They will struggle to hold rallies, to get people to be candidates or even charged with money laundering. So, that they cannot be on the ticket against Magufuli. That is what the likes of Magufuli does. He will do it in the election year and all justification is national security, but they always hit the opposition and their candidates.

Lungu and Magufuli are using their tools, the state and their office to ensure yet another election. Don’t expect this men to play fair. Neither do they have any ideals, mythical ethos or a paradigm shift that will make a difference in their republic’s. Why do I say that?

Well, if you cannot compete in the political sphere on ideas, manifestos or political framework in general. Because, there is no space to do so in these respectable places. Since they cannot accept a fair competition, neither free nor fair elections coming up.

HH in Zambia, Kabwe and Lissu in Tanzania will all be in trouble as the elections are getting near. Their Presidents cannot manage to deal with opposition, neither with someone who has character or has the ability stand their ground. That is why, they got to make their ways illegal. To silence them and stop their movement. They will charge them with money laundering, treason or whatever thing they pin on the gentlemen. That is what the likes do.

If these presidents was sincere, they would have made them able to campaign and do internal party works. Even hold Press Conferences and so-on without meeting the courts. However, they are not allowing it. That is why they cannot stand for anything else, than themselves and their own glory.

A glory that will fade, a lack of acceptance and understanding of other human beings. Because, everyone supposed to follow the Presidents without any consideration. If they question them, you better keep it silent and not talk about it. Since, they might track you or let you into the same trouble as the opposition leaders.

These leaders doesn’t target goals or development at this point. They target their own will to stay in power and use any means to do so. If you think otherwise. Check their track-record and their platforms. Peace.
