Mnangagwa is a bit too hostile to be a winner!

Swords can win territories but not hearts, forces can bend heads but not minds.”Mirza Tahir Ahmad

Emmerson Mnangagwa the announced winner of the Presidential Elections on the 2nd August 2018, which will be inaugurated on the 12th August 2018. However, if he was a real victor of the 30th July 2018 polls, then he wouldn’t need to crack-down on the opposition party Movement for Democratic Change – Alliance (MDC-Alliance). If the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) was a real winner, they wouldn’t need the army to attack civilians and neither charge the MDC Alliance leadership for all sort of crimes.

This is just like the President likes the 1980s, when he was Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office. At that time Mnangagwa was charging the leadership in and around Joshua Nkomo. Now, he is doing the same to Nelson Chamisa, where the MDC Alliance leadership are getting charged and investigated. As he plans to set up a Commission to investigate the demonstrations, but that means he wants to wash his hands of the orders of sending soldiers with shoot-to-kill orders of civilians. While, the same soldiers have been trashing vendors in Harare and other places attacked people who voted for MDC. Clearly, this is not actions of a victor, but of loser on a vendetta.

Mnangagwa is repeating history and he does with the power, which was given him by the army in November 2017. Therefore, some part of this play is in the hands of General Constantino Chiwenga or Zimbabwe Defence Force (ZDF), who has ordered the soldiers into the streets and show the strength of the ZANU-PF. That is why the Herald is writing stories of the greatness of the party and saying none of the state sponsored violence is true. The killings of the civilians are blamed on hooligans. Vice-President Chiwenga surely has accepted all of this and all parts of the government are now trying to spin-it.

Mnangagwa we know this is the real you, your blaming everyone else, but part of the order and the machine of intimidation. Mnangagwa couldn’t have won a real election, he had to rig it. Therefore, he needs the army and the police to attack people into submission. That is what you are currently doing, with your activity. If your thinking this will open Zimbabwe for business, Mr. Mnangagwa your wrong, unless your only seeking loans from Beijing, because they don’t give a crap until your topped-up and they can take the resources you have. That is what China does, but by that time your dead and the next generation are repaying on the topped up debt.

Well, Mnangagwa, this is clearly showing that your character is to use force and not be gentle. Your not a gentleman and the stamp of Crocodile is for a reason. Your a seasoned man for violence and it is showing. Your speaking of peace, but using the sword. Peace.

Opinion: I didn’t know the MDC could order the army? – ZANU-PF charges them for doing so!

The winners of the 30th July 2018 polls have been the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) and also their incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa who also win another term. But like so many other sham elections, they have to go on assault on the opposition to legitimize their own existence.

Because now the Movement for Democratic Change – Alliance (MDC Alliance) are under siege by the Zimbabwe Republican Police, who has put charges on 26 MDC Officials. This after the authorities ordered the army to quell demonstrations, which was fatal, the day after a shut-down of the streets and announcement of the Presidential Election. Finally, now mere days after making them criminal, as they are the arch enemy of the state for running against the ZANU-PF. Even as the Army had rifles and killed civilians demonstrating, still, they are roaming free; while the MDC is charged.

Police confirmed arresting 26 suspected MDC Alliance officials yesterday following the violent clashes in Harare on Wednesday which injured several people after the army used live ammunition to break the ugly demonstrations against alleged bias by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) and delays in the release of Monday poll results. At the same time, police said it had obtained a warrant to search for grenades, firearms, ammunition and computers at the MDC headquarters” (Fungi Kwaramba & Jeffrey Muvundusi – ‘Crackdown on opposion MDC leaders’ 04.08.2018 link: http://nehandaradio.com/2018/08/03/crackdown-on-opposion-mdc-leaders/).

If you feel the pain of innocent civilians dying and the opposition is being automatically put as suspects, even as the most easily seen suspects are the ones pulling out on the streets with guns. Which was the army and the soldiers, not the civilians demonstrating a sham election. However, to able to silence the population and also stops voices of reason; they have to charge the opposition and put them on trial.

That is what is happening and the formula isn’t new, this is a usual way of securing an illegitimate government. This is an ordinary post-election paradigm, especial after a fatal demonstrations, where the culprits is the ones sending the orders and being in charge, but putting the blame on the opposition instead. Who was unarmed and was just mere civilians. That is what is happening.

If the ZANU-PF thinks they are wise with this, they are not, they are playing themselves and making a mockery out of rule of law. Where they have the guns, where they have the power and where they are besieging the public space. The narrow space is freedom is disappearing and it happens fast. While the charges is going on the MDC Alliance offices has been raided and the proof of the idle ignorance of justice is appearing.

That ZANU-PF is illegitimate is in the acts of how they govern, if they were honest and truthful, they wouldn’t haven’t acted in this fashion. However, they appearance is more of Mugabeism’s than anything. Mnangagwa is filling his void and Operation Restore Legacy is to damage and destroy the opposition. Just like his master wanted too.

It isn’t beautiful, it is tragic and shows the disgraceful attempt of heist. Steal a republic and blame the other guy. That is what is happening, they are robbing the public and doing it by the barrel of the gun. If you think things better, you get wrong, the civil liberties will be violated and Mnangagwa will be the Supreme Overlord! Peace.
