It is beyond debate that the inclusive government in Zimbabwe has never functioned at optimum capacity since it was formed some fifteen (15) months ago.
That is as it should be because this coalition government is not what the majority of Zimbabweans voted for on March 29, 2008.
On that historic day in the electoral history of our great nation, the majority of the people voted for real change. Put simply; the people did not vote for a coalition government.
This type of government was imposed on the people.
No amount of propaganda can wash away the fact that the MDC, under the leadership of Morgan Richard Tsvangirai, is the best supported and most popular political party in Zimbabwe at the moment.
Prophets of doom and hired media hitmen have, of late, gone into overdrive predicting the imminent collapse of the MDC.T hese men and women, who are solely driven by their desire to hold onto the crumbs falling off the crumbling Zanu (PF) gravy train, have wasted no time in announcing a '' split'' in the MDC. They have created artificial divisions amongst the movers and shakers within the MDC. The MDC will never split again; much to the disappointment of these charlatans.
Some of us are convinced that the outstanding issues will never be resolved by the inclusive government. This is so because Zanu (PF) is consciously aware of the fact that it has hopelessly lost the support of the majority of the people.
The former ruling party knows that it is destined for a humiliating and crushing electoral defeat at the hands of the MDC led by Morgan Tsvangirai. Naturally, Zanu (PF) appreciates that should all outstanding issues of the global political agreement (GPA) be implemented, the epitaph on the Zanu (PF) electoral tombstone would be ready for installation.
We have recently heard ZANU (PF) announcing that they are ready for an election. They are not and they will never be. They know that thuggery, intimidation, violence and vote-rigging have a very short shelf-life.
Although the Zimbabwe Media Commission (ZMC) recently gave permission to five newspapers to start operating in Zimbabwe, we will observe, henceforth, a determined and capricious effort on the part of Zanu (PF) functionaries in the inclusive government to frustrate and delay the actual implementation of the good work that has been done by the ZMC to date.
Going forward, a lot of spanners will be thrown into the works of the ZMC. The presence of the notorious media hangman, one Tafataona Mahoso, as the chief executive of the ZMC, should certainly be cause for serious concern to all democrats who aspire to achieve media plurality.
You can fool some people some of the time but you can never fool all the people all the time. Zimbabweans have rejected Zanu (PF).Given another opportunity, they will once again reject this party that is still locked up in history and that seems to believe that '' matakadya kare achanyaradza mwana.''
People know that their true enemy is not Roy Bennett or any other white person simply because he/she is white. People are now above the politics of tribalism and racism. Hate-mongering as practised by the ZANU (PF) mercenary media hitmen can only achieve one result and that is the consolidation of the people's support for the MDC led by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.Real change is within touching distance. We shall never compromise, retreat nor surrender. The people are on our side and we are on the side of the people. Together to the end! – SENATOR OBERT GUTU, by e-mail
