The arrest of Douglas Mahiya proved to all and sundry that President Robert Mugabe has totally lost the plot. It became clear that the once-oppressed are now mimmicking their oppressor, Ian Smith. By Rafemoyo Gumiremhete,Our Reader
Unfortunately, this authoritarian government has perfected the art of subjugating the will of the people and annihilating opposition using tyrannical tactics.
It has been said, when a leopard wants to eat its own cubs it accuses them of smelling like goats. How sad the revolution continues to devour its own children. Mahiya, a war veteran of note and bona fide soldier of the liberation struggle, was arrested for voicing his concerns because clearly the revolution has gone awry.
It has been hijacked by a greedy mafia. Upon being told the truth in his face, the geriatric Mugabe cried treason.
He is beginning to sound like a broken record Joshua Nkomo was treasonous, Ndabaningi Sithole was also treasonous, Morgan Tsvangirai also — the list is endless.
Actually, anyone who holds a different opinion from the one Mugabe holds is either trying to overthrow the government or Western-sponsored.
Mugabe has been ruling the country for too long and is starting to believe that Zimbabwe is his private property. Mugabe continues to believe this self-inflicted fib that he has been elected by the masses. By any measure he, knows he has never won any election and he is where he is by means of stealing the peoples’ vote.
Now the war veterans are telling him what we have always told, that he should go.

Our economy is on its knees and bond notes are not the solution. His government ministers are busy abusing their offices amassing filthy wealth, the two million jobs he promised never came, and $15 billion of diamond money was looted on his watch. Oh, and Itai Dzamara must be returned alive. The writing is on the wall, Mugabe must go.
