My Dear People
The blatant attack on prominent constitutional lawyer and National Constitutional Assembly leader Lovemore Madhuku over his trenchant opposition to the bludgeoning of the country’s supreme law as a result of selfish interests and greed for power, has exposed the appalling democratic deficit of the dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion.
Madhuku and 17 others ,who had gathered at the NCA offices to meet over its protest over the self-serving interests of the proposed constitutional changes, were beaten to a pulp by baton wielding thugs.
Madhuku has also received death threats over his efforts to thwart the pillaging of the constitution along with Constitutional Defenders Forum leader Tendai Biti.
It is shameful that in the 21st century we still have people being threatened for exercising their democratic right to oppose the desecration of a constitution that was overwhelmingly approved during a referendum in 2013.
Repression and intolerance have become the by-words that have characterised the regime of the Scarfed One .
We probably should not be surprised at the suppression of democratic tenets under this regime given that its very existence was borne out of unconstitutional means of being barrelled into power on the back of guns and tanks and retained through dodgy elections that even the toothless regional body Sadc has found detestable.
What is the point of the 90-day period set aside for the country’s citizens to debate the proposed changes if it is characterised by beatings, abductions and threats of those with opposing views?
Under the so called second repubric, democratic freedoms are now being held captive by barbarism and lunacy. Operation Restore Order, my foot!!!
Munopengaaa!!!
In a further indication that this country has gone to the dogs under this dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion, we had an affiliate vigilante group of the ruining Zanu PF which calls itself Presidential Mafia and Edutainers for ED threatening Madhuku and Biti with unspecified actions if they continue to oppose the tearing apart of the constitution that allows the vapid leadership of Scarfmore to extend by two years without a fresh mandate through elections. It is the height of madness that there is a group that supports.
Scarfmore using the words presidential and mafia within in the same name.
That the regime is allowing these brain dead scoundrels to soil its reputation speaks to gross incompetence in the halls of power.
Even staunch apologists for the Scarfed One have spoken out against these boneheads calling for the Scarfed One to distance himself “from these attention seekers”.
“These guys not only tarnish the image of the party whose motto is unity, peace and development but feed an unwarranted, unwanted narrative in light of the recent attack on Prof Madhuku,” one apologist opined on microblogging site X.
Unfortunately such a sober analysis of the embarrassing state of affairs is the exception rather than the norm at a time most of the Scarfmore apologists have bizarrely claimed that Madhuku and co inflicted harm upon themselves to garner attention.
The telescopic foresighted Gushungo would have never brooked such nonsense that has become commonplace in this coup regime.
Munopengaaa!!!
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe have been harping on ad nauseam about the benefits of the new notes of the funny money known as the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG).
The introduction of the new notes if anything is a damning indictment of its shoddy job of printing the current banknotes which tear easily and are no different from the material used for cheap quality one ply toilet paper.
The introduction of the new notes laughably called the Big 5 will still not enable one to buy fuel or secure a passport despite the brouhaha of being told this funny money will be a game changer and a major benchmark of the country’s sovereignty.
Creating new banknotes of a currency that is rejected in towns such as Bulawayo and Masvingo is a futile exercise.
The central bank should be focused on enhancing confidence in the funny money that is rejected by fuel stations and the passport office among others.
Only until it can be used for all goods and services, will the noise over the funny money not sound like cheap propaganda.
The messaging of the life changing effects of this funny money is lost when the Scarfed One and his allies such as the burly ex-convict and tenderpreneuer Weaknail never use it when splashing cash like confetti at a wedding.
Worse still the removal of the 2030 deadline upon which the country achieves mono currency using this funny money only reinforces the lack of confidence in the so called Big 5.
The implication that monocurrency could even come sooner than 2030, as implied by some within the regime should be dismissed for the hogwash that it is.
Given the regime’s love of “real money” as Scarfmore once called the greenback, monocurrency will remain a pipe dream.
