Zimbabwe: The CCC didn’t learn a lesson from the Draghi affairs…

The High Court has dismissed an application by main opposition CCC MPs and Senators seeking to overturn their shock recalls from the legislature by political activist Sengezo Tshabangu, meaning the resultant by-elections go ahead.

-The judgement opens an avenue for Zanu PF to secure a two-thirds parliamentary majority through the back door to change the constitution for its own self-serving political agendas, including President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s third term bid.

-A group of 14 CCC MPs and nine senators had approached the High Court seeking nullification of their recall” (Mai Magaisa, 04.11.2023).

This is a deja vu sort of vibe. Not the good kind, but we have been here before. Citizens Coalition For Change (CCC) the rebrand of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) – Alliance (MDC-Alliance) was clever enough to get a new name and supposed “organization”. However, it is falling for the same sins all over again and thinking the ruling regime would play fair.

Well, Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) are well known for playing free or fair in concerns to power. No, they make the rules and the others have to abide by them. If it was the MDC or any other political party. They are there on their mercy and on their behalf. Not to be in the way or undress the ruling regime.

The incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa has used the same trick all over again. Last time it was using Draghi or Douglas Mwonzora with his MDC-T to takeover and control the MDC-Alliance. That was done deliberately and weakened the MDC-Alliance by recalling MPs and Councillors. Just like Tshabangu is doing in regard with the CCC.

We have seen this game being played out before and the leadership of CCC has to think this through. They went through another election cycle and polls to damage the ZANU-PF. However, the party already had sinister plans in the shadows, which they are doing now. Which means the CCC will lost their foothold and become insignificant in regards to the chambers of power. That means Mnangagwa and his comrades can take it all.

Nelson Chamisa and fellow party leaders looked wise when they rebranded and started the CCC under the guise of MDC-Alliance. They were able to restart and get fresh ahead of the polls. Nevertheless, the CCC are now falling for the same trick.

It should be red-alert and warning signals in the headquarters of the CCC. They shouldn’t be #GodsInIt and “analyse” the matter. No, they need to actually think things through and not use the same strategy again. They have already exhausted part of it and they didn’t “win”. The CCC is losing and becoming a laughing matter like the MDC-Alliance did by being dismantled little by little by Draghi.

Now Tshabangu is the puppet of the state. Not that he will win any seats or deliver anything substantial of the CCC. We know he isn’t there for election victories or to conquer the electorate. No, his there to destroy the CCC from within and the state allows it. It is the naive of CCC to believe this would be any different. That the state and ZANU-PF would mind or safeguard the identity of their biggest rival. No, they want to destroy it and dismantle it, either by hook or by crook. They don’t care as long as Chamisa and the others suffers.

I am just amazed that the CCC wasn’t solid and prepared, because they knew the gig after years of Draghi. They should have seen this one coming and envisioned the options of the state. However, they thought suddenly the crocodile would have a change of heart.

Well, the CCC was wrong and now the crocodile is ready to chew them up alive. Peace.

Zimbabwe: Comrade Gwenzi is just a proof that the Constitution doesn’t matter to the ZANU-PF…

Section 208(3) of the Constitution: “members of the security services must not be members of any political party or organisation.”

Section 208(4) of the Constitution: “members of the security services must not engage in any partisan political activity.”” (Open Parly Zimbabwe, 30.10.2023).

The appointment of “Cde Gwenzi”, General, Phillip Valerio Sibanda, as an Ex Officio Member of the Politburo. Is just a reflection of the government and the ruling party in Harare. That the ZANU-PF isn’t considering the implications or the Constitution for that matter. There is only Presidential Decrees and his Presidential Orders. The rest is history.

I am not shocked at this point, that a military officer has a high ranking official or a party of ZANU-PF. Well, it wasn’t that long ago that Gen. Christiano Chiwenga was both Vice-President and Minister of Health. Currently his the incumbent Vice-President and kept that role after the ouster of Mugabe.

That’s why the appointment of General Sibanda or Comrade Gwenzi isn’t out of nowhere. No, it just more of the same. There was already a General in the Cabinet and his the Vice-President. The ones calling it unconstitutional, well, that is possibly true… and I have shown you the important sections of it. However, does that matter?

Because Gen. Chiwenga isn’t in question and his partisan in politics. His been so for years now and Gen. Sibanda will only follow his legacy. These two are just one of plenty in this regard. When President Mnangagwa took over power. I remember more army commanders and such got high ranking official duties, which wasn’t in military nature. Alas, that is the problem here and we can see how this just continues.

That’s because Mnangagwa needs the army and loyal army commanders on his side. It is important for him to have them on his side and give them perks. In such a fashion that they want him in office and willing to fight for him. That’s why he does this and also shows loyalty to armed forces.

Comrade Gwenzi will not feel a sting or a thing. This here will eventually die down and be forgotten actually. Just like the scandals of Kembo Mohadi, which has returned to office after a sex-scandal in the previous term. That’s how these people operate.

When we have seen Gen. Chiwenga for years. He violated the Constitution by being there and being appointed. Even if it was part of deal with Mnangagwa. That doesn’t matter, because the law of the land should affect him and his ally. However, we know how the story goes and the law isn’t subjected to these people. That is only for the poorer class or the dissidents. Peace.

Zimbabwe: Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) – CCC Update on Disengagement (26.10.2023)

Zimbabwe: Mnangagwa is continuing to consolidate power

President Emmerson Mnangagwa is on a trail of tears for the Republic, as he is on a journey to consolidate power within his office. That is what his up to these days. Either by electioneering and dismantling piece-by-piece of the CCC. There is also him taking control of assets, state owned enterprise, wealth creation funds and other stipulated laws, which gives him huge benefits.

President Mnangagwa isn’t only aiming to destroy the opposition by pushing pen-strokes over their heads. While they are preoccupied with their own demise and fighting petty positions or ability to be Members of Parliament. The President is taking control of vast powers or government entities, which gives him so much control.

This is consolidating of power. He wants it all at his fingertips. There will no oversight or control from the outside. The President can do with it at his disposal and how he deems fit. It wasn’t that long ago that the President exempted the Sovereign Wealth Fund from the PPDA-ACT. Today his taking it a step further and now taking over it.

That his doing while his also getting sweeping powers over the Anti-Corruption Commission and Presidential Salary and Allowances Act. Just to name a few in addition to the Sovereign Wealth Fund.

The President did a similar act in 2018. In 2018 he took power over 8 acts, but now in 2023 he has added a total of 13 acts. That is gives him more personal control and advantage. Surely he has planned this and wanted this for a long time. Because, now nobody can question or even say anything on the matters. If the President decides, then the President decides. That is how it is done.

If anyone believes Mnangagwa will do anything good for the Republic. The choices he makes just shows what matters to him. It is all personal and for self interests. The ZANU-PF and the Government of Zimbabwe is all his now. If he says otherwise… it is only for show, because behind closed doors. He decides and gets his way.

The crocodile shows when to chew. That is obvious. Today has been a brutal day and Mnangagwa surely will enjoy the spoils. His doing so left, right and centre. He don’t mind and he gets the currency he wants. That’s what he does.

President Mnangagwa isn’t there to serve the people. No, the President is there to serve himself and his inner circle. Peace.

Zimbabwe: The CCC is getting buried by Mnangagwa…

Today was a huge day for President Emmerson Mnangagwa. First and foremost he proclaimed the By-Elections of the recalled CCC MPs and by doing so… he will secure the 2/3 of the Parliament and ensure total control of House. That is the plan from the onset, as the verdict of the Harmonized Elections didn’t give ZANU-PF the need power and votes in the Parliament.

In addition to clipping the wings of CCC. While the matters are sorted out in the Courts. This is repeating the same procedure, which was done with regards to Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) ahead of the polls. There was Court cases, but the results was in favour of the state and ZEC could continue like nothing happen. The same will seemingly happen here and the losers are the CCC.

That is the plan anyway to make the CCC suffer and be able to cause havoc against the biggest threat. The ZANU-PF government has no scruples and will stop at nothing. Their aim is not only to defeat Chamisa, but destroy his party completely. They have already practice from dismantling the Movement for Democratic Change and the sister parties created out of it. It is just targeting the second or the third generation of opposition in the CCC.

The ones participating in the elections and in the games of ZANU-PF should get ready for beating. President Mnangagwa leaves no one untouched. It doesn’t matter how he does it or what he does, as long as his party has a say. He don’t mind the play or the politicking, as long as he see ZANU-PF getting it all.

The CCC was just foolish to participate and think Mnangagwa would honour them. Like they forgot how the 2nd Republic and its state authorities went after the MDC or the MDC-Alliance. It was total quagmire and the state practically forced the “real-MDC” out of its own party. That’s why the CCC is existing today.

These MPs and leaders should know this… they have been a part and seen what the ZANU-PF is willing to do. They will not get a fair treatment in the Courts or in the By-Elections. The CCC is rigged against and bound to loose. There is just more issues and less hope. Chamisa can say “Gods Is In It” but it doesn’t help the cause.

The CCC and the Opposition needs to recalibrate and rethink their strategy. They were able to outsmart with the rebranding, but now they are suffering because of it too. As long as they are within the realm of the ZANU-PF. The ZANU-PF will choke it and try to kill it off.

Mnangagwa is a crocodile and his awaiting his turn to strike at his prey. The prey being the CCC. Peace.

Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe Council of Churches – Pastoral Statement – Parliamentary Recalls: A Call for Responsible Leadership (13.10.2023)

Zimbabwe: Last term it was the end of the MDC, now they aim at the CCC…

This time the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) isn’t aiming at the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). They don’t have to aim at the MDC. It has already been done and that’s why we got so familiar with Douglas Mwonzora and his antics; which was all sponsored by the ZANU-PF to dismantle and destroy the revered opposition party in Zimbabwe.

The recent events and news that an imposter Secretary General is now recalling Members of Parliament belonging to the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC). The goal to is too take away enough MPs and ensure the ZANU-PF have the two-thirds majority it needs. Because, at the moment in Parliament it doesn’t and the CCC made a bigger statement than the ZANU-PF was able to anticipate. Therefore, because of all that.

They had to use another scheme where the state is using a fraudulent operative named Sengezo Tshabangu to do their bidding. Just like Mwonzora did in the previous term. He also recalled MPs and ensured by-elections. By-Elections that went in favour of the state and secured a bigger mandate for the ruling regime. The same will happen with this.

The Courts won’t be on CCC’s side and neither will any of the authorities. This is just a plot to legalize the destruction of CCC’s mandate in Parliament. The same will happen in city councils and local councils in general. The MPs are just the act on the National Level. ZANU-PF will do this overall and will not let anything slide.

The ZANU-PF regime don’t care about democracy or the will of the people. They only care about power and securing it at all costs. This has been shown to the world, time and time again. ZANU-PF needs total control to be able to have no oversight and complete every planned heist. That’s what they do… and we shouldn’t be surprised. No, this is a plot and a scheme it thought out long before the polls. In a way to ensure and weaken the opposition. That’s the endgame here and its so obvious.

The crocodile using his means to swallow the enemies. It is just crooked and shows what sort of games they play. ZANU-PF has no intention of free and fair. No, they intend to cling on to power and doesn’t care how it plays out. As long as they remain on top and the others suffer. That’s what we are seeing here.

This is foul play and a disregard of the will of the people. The recall of 15 CCC MPs is a shady move and the intent is clear. That’s to have control and a huge majority of seats in Parliament. Nothing else matters to the ZANU-PF. Because when the ZANU-PF has “secured” itself that. They will continue with Constitutional Amendments and Draconian Laws, which benefits them as the rulers. That’s the plan and we all should see it coming.

Mnangagwa becomes the victor. After destroying MDC, MDC-T and MDC-Alliance. His now going after CCC. They are his next prey and now the shots are fired. Peace.

Zimbabwe: Mnangagwa’s new heist is revealed…

In yet another controversial move, President Mnangagwa has published an Extraordinary Government Gazette exempting the newly renamed sovereign wealth fund from complying with the Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act. Public procurement is a major arena of corruption. This brings into question the government’s accountability over the Mutapa Investment Fund and how public money will be protected from looters. Ownership of 20 state-owned companies has already been transferred to Mutapa. They include National Railways, AirZim, NetOne, TelOne. The Procurement Act is important in safeguarding public finances and assets from abuse. It is meant to ensure that public procurement and the disposal of public assets are effected in a manner that is transparent, fair, honest, cost-effective and competitive” (The News Hawks, 29.09.2023).

If you thought the trash-collecting scheme in Harare was wild or the Command Agriculture Scam during the previous term of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Well, think again, because things will get hectic.

The previous scams was within one tender and one field. Now the President and the ZANU-PF has a massive load and opportunities to siphon funds. This exemption from the PDPA Act is perfect for the State Owned Enterprises and whoever else whose in-charge of the Mutapa Investment Fund. They are now off the hook and won’t need to be held accountable either. That is the authority and stamp of approval they needed from the President.

It is just striking how quickly he seemed to do this. The plot is already think and there is little wiggle room to see it differently. The exemption is clearly a devise to undermine the law and whoever the Mutapa Investment Fund are supposed to answer for. The Sovereign Wealth Fund is now an entity that can be run as “they” see “fit”.

That is bound to be a heist. A daylight robbery and the public get to watch. The gold will be stolen. The diamonds will be gone. The monies for the transport and the gigs are gone too. Whatever needed for other enterprises will suddenly go missing. It is just a blatant disregard of the people and honest service delivery.

The President by issuing this is sending the signal that now is the time to make his bank-account pregnant. It is time to get dollars baby and sing the money dance. That is what his up too and his confident about it too.

This shows what the ZANU-PF is up too and no one should be shocked. The ZANU-PF have gotten away with it for years and they are not stopping anytime soon. The reason for them to govern is to eat and not to serve. They are there to serve own interest and not the people. That’s why laws can be bended these ways and the high ranking officials can collect.

Trust me… money will flow and the ones who is anointed will get a pay-off. The ones that whistle-blow or dares to speak out will be shunned or silenced completely. Because, this is the patriotic mission of ZANU-PF. The regime of Mnangagwa is only there to continue yesterdays agony and not change for the better. Peace.
