Phebeon

The President has too many opportunists around him, eager only to accumulate wealth for themselves and yet never ready to defend his position and standing. From the Politburo, Central Committee etc there are many stooges, lacking the gravitas and energy to wage battle for their party and the leader. Thus time and again he has been railroaded without any defence from those who by natural order and structure should be leading the defence. When your parent is attacked in your presence how can you remain quiet and docile? At the height of the attacks against ED, many in the party retreated and hid away. Maitotya kudaira when your leader was under attack! Its just that ED is a veteran of such shenanigans and isn’t easily ruffled. He faced the same in 2017& never uttered a word in response. He remains a constitutionalist and is able to handle so many dramatic characters as we have seen with the drama by his VP. Zvigaro hazvitorwe nehasha dzekuzviti ndakaunza Zimbabwe. This country is a product of the masses who sacrificed their sons, daughters and even their wealth. Some of us have been in the party before and understand its ways even better than some who remain in it. Tinotodawo zvigaro izvozvo as we also have massive supporters vanoti Bhuru pinda, but we know how it should be done. Tichauya kumusangano ikoko and teach you the proper way of doing things! CAB3 is a recent example of a weak support system for the President. The Bill has very commendable amendments and massive support from the areas which I visited. However, the party has failed to set the tempo in articulating the positive nature of the 22 clauses which need to be amended. Instead, the opposition managed to reduce the conversation to just 2 clauses and painted everything negatively. I have previously cited organs such as Women’s League and Youth Wing. They have totally failed in their duties as the militant arms of the party. Certain people will have to be named and shamed as they no longer have any relevance because all they want is money. Some already have enough money such that they no longer have need for the incumbent. They can do away with him! Its those who are at the bottom who suffer defending the President and the party imi kumusoro ikoko muchingodya mega. The people who were attending the CAB3 meetings were mainly the ordinary party members and I salute them for that. I also salute traditional leaders who were able to come out and endorse CAB3. We worked for this thing traversing the length of the country and yet those who will enjoy the fruits of this work are at the top who never did much. I have always criticized what I feel is wrong and won’t stop even if I’m not from within the party. The party creates our Hovernment and by that lineage its condition is everyone’s business. What I never do is insult anyone. As it is, there is an active faction within ZANU PF which has given itself to advancing the candidature of VP Chiwenga as a better leader and are even agitating for him to usurp the sitting President. The blunt verdict for such actions is that they are the highest form of subversive action in a party. One can’t present themselves as a party member and yet work against the very same party’s leader and the agreed resolutions. Once a position has been agreed every party member has a duty to abide by it otherwise you are just a sleeper opposition member who should be handled as such. Not even VP Chiwenga himself would be receptive to such antics if he were the one in office. That these people have been allowed to remain inside is due to ED’s own operational patience in playing the long game than anything else. He knows and allows one a very long rope. It only takes one day for everything to unravel. We also know some of them and very soon some of us will simply state the names plainly. A party can only have one leader at a time. Once one decides to create parallel structure through which he sells himself as the better leader that is not just selling out but undermining the current leader. The same applies to supporting the party’s resolutions. Once a position has been agreed its incumbent upon everyone in the party to affirm and stand with that position. In plain words, for any ZANU PF member, once you find yourself advancing an agenda of leadership that promotes someone else other than the one who has been chosen by the party, you have totally lost it and become a subversive element that should be dealt with harshly and totally. Its telling how some of us, supporters who are outside the party have come to be the prime defenders of the President and the party more than those inside. However, as supporters we shall continue making our voices to be heard. After all supporters can't be fired but they can influence the firing of coaches!
