Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU): Press Release – Re: Conscription of Junior Doctors (06.10.2020)



Thokozani Khupe and associates was appointed to the Parliament today. That is happening, as the state have already suspended all by-elections. Therefore, to fill the void of the recalled Members of Parliament. The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) have found the Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T) are taking the spaces of the MDC-Alliance. The final revenge is now done.
That Khupe and her allies is getting offices. This is done by ZANU-PF to favour the ones doing their bidding. First ensuring the Parliament is filled with loyalist and people bought. That is clearly to get rid of the “real” opposition. This is why they have used Khupe and she’s been willing to do their bidding.
So, the gazetted appointments today proven what we have said all along. That Khupe and the MDC-T is pawns of the ZANU-PF. She and the others appointed today was never elected, but selected. These are hand-picked individuals, apparently.
Khupe wouldn’t be appointed like this, if she wasn’t favoured by the ruling regime. This is a deliberate act. They cannot claim this a sign of democracy and righteous values. That is the continued siege on the opposition.
Khupe cannot claim to be opposition, when she’s unelected and selected by ZANU-PF. That is the truth. She could just wave the flag of regime and dance to the tunes of the 2nd Republic. The new dispensation was to give her a hand and a job.
If you were in doubt and if the MDC-T with Khupe. This here should be the final nail in the coffin. The move today is a proof of her price. That she could be bought with an unelected position. Become a honourable, by wing-clipping the MDC-Alliance MPs and Councillors. Khupe kicked them out and has taken their place. That is what she has been done.
Khupe and ZANU-PF can act otherwise, but will not make it true. She is now an appointed crony of the regime. That is evident and the actions made been in favour of the ZANU-PF.
She was willing and now she’s taking the coins too. Khupe is a pawn, but how long will she be useful and how much more damage can she inflict?
As the truth is out. The cat is out of the bag and place as an opposition is officially over. The role as an opposition is sealed. That is long gone now. The appointment was the ending of that. Peace.



“We are watching attempts to drive Zimbabwe into chaos. Some rogue elements among us, are conniving with some hostile Western governments to smuggle guns and set up so-called Democratic Resistance Committees that are, for all intents and purposes, violent militia groups. These plans are key components of “Operation Light House”, the brainchild of one Western power, that seeks to destroy the democratic foundations of Zimbabwe, make the country ungovernable and justify foreign intervention. As the State Security sector, we shall take concrete action to deal with such threats” (Statement Issued by the Minister of State Security Honourable O. Ncube (MP) – On the State Security Situation – Harare – 24 September 2020).
This is a steady argument from the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF). I remember so many times late President Robert Mugabe blamed the West. The governing party of Zimbabwe have always looked across its border and into the Western Hemisphere. They got to blame either the British or any other former Colonial Power. That is what they do.
Now, the New Dispensation and the 2nd Republic is more of the same. Instead of fixing the issues, the failing economy and the militarization of the government. The human rights violations and the arbitrary arrests, abductions and such is the reason for the sanctions towards the state. This has been like this and it haven’t changed with President Emmerson Mnangagwa. It has been amped up … and they are destabilizing the opposition and activists on their way.
So, the ZANU-PF have to create foreign enemies, even when there are none. Just to make it seem like they are attacked. Though, the reality of it all is that they are ones creating enemies within their own realm.
The 2nd Republic is attacking its own citizens. That’s why they are blaming the West. ZANU-PF needs a scapegoat. They need to pin someone else, because they cannot be to blame. These folks who reinvented themselves and took power though another operation, which they deemed “Operation Restore Legacy”.
We are just supposed to forget that and the state sponsored violence that has occurred since then. Like the ZANU-PF haven’t caused pain and suffering. They have the power, have appointed the leadership and made the policies in the aftermath of their “Operation Restore Legacy”.
So, in that regard, they have to create a “Operation Light House”. Just because, suddenly there are a will to have a armed coup d’etat against the ZANU-PF. The same ZANU-PF who are saying the West is inciting violence through the Opposition, which is also a common argument too.
Therefore, blaming the West is a common thread for the ZANU-PF. It has been like that since Mugabe and it will be like that for the years to come. As long as the regime survives, they will pin their faults on someone else. Right now it is the West and tomorrow they will blame Chamisa again. Peace.











We know now why Thokozani Khupe wants to be Nelson Chamisa so badly. After she renamed Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T) to Movement for Democratic Change – Alliance (MDC-Alliance). The same party where she has revoked and besieged through court orders and with all legal means. While she hasn’t held a conference or really controlled.
This is why Khupe. Not only heists the opposition titles, their headquarters and their name. She also went after their elected officials and recalled them. Like she was the barren Queen to control it. Khupe might been able to do so. Because, this benefits the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF).
She has been really useful, but we know why she does this. Khupe wishes she was Chamisa. Just like she wished back in the day, that she was Tsvangirai. You cannot steal their legacy or their titles. You cannot take their fights, their burdens and their struggle with a flick of the pen.
Khupe might been able because the Courts and ZANU-PF let her. Still, she will not be respected wit the moves she makes. She is just the pretender. The ones that wishes she was Chamisa. The one that wants the role of main opposition leader. The one that wants to be crowned. While she is not worthy nor has the credentials to do so.
Khupe looks like she is winning now, but its only fools gold. Even, if she gets the Headquarters, the bank accounts, the seats and the titles. Khupe will still never inherit the throne. She might have it for a minute, but that doesn’t make it real.
If she does accept this and takes it. The forged placement, the role she is playing is a all mirage. It is a facade and not the real deal. Khupe can feel the entitlement and rightfully hers. However, everyone knows she isn’t the one.
It is all fake, forged and a make belief. This will not last. If the MDC-T becomes the MDC-Alliance. The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission deregisters the original MDC-Alliance under Chamisa. Still, it will not make the actions more true. It is just a game, a game that is rigged.
The ballots are pre-ticked and the ballot-boxes are stuffed. The victory is sealed, but only because she got help from ZANU-PF. Khupe isn’t the victor, but the jester on the throne. She isn’t worthy, but acts like a royal, which she isn’t.
Khupe thinks she has outsmarted everyone, but she has fooled herself. When your crowning yourself queen without a kingdom. There is little to inherit. There is nothing to reign and rule over. Except for empty briefcases and a lost hope. This journey will end in tears. It is just a matter of time and perspective. The tears will come … it is just a matter of time. Peace.
