Quoting Matibili.

Perhaps, as true grit indicates, we need to free ourselves from a dual political, psychological and social mentality and existence.

@Matibili. –

Never a truer word spoken. There is so much in our psychological make up that we have to unlearn before we as Zimbabweans can be free – it is more than just a political process

Hasta La Vitoria Sempre!!!

I have observed the party politics of my country and have become a bit of a sceptic since independence.

I pray that there will be no further arrests, no ‘unfortunate’ car accidents, especially of people that are progressive and effective in the process.

This has been characteristic, especially contrived by the people that are still holding the reigns of power. Has the junta been tamed and if not have they bowed out, I doubt it.

It is a positive move to see the opposition in parliament, my question is, with the constitution the way it is and the executive powers bestowed on the president let’s watch and learn.

Dealing with zanu calls for a bit insanity.

Deal with them on a level playfield at your peril.

How many of us know what is right but have been overwhelmed by this culture of unaccountability and dictatorship.

Perhaps, as true grit indicates, we need to free ourselves from a dual political, psychological and social mentality and existence.

I am not upbeat about the deal but I choose to see it this way. ZANU PF has lost more than half of it’s control over government and power, how do we build on that? A few months ago ZANU had total control now they control the things they think will keep them in power, the same elements they had before and still lost grip, the same elements that have been openly rebelling in recent days. Instead of despairing at a few acts of desperation by a regime that knows it is on it’s way out let’s find ways to help them on their way.

As for ZAPU – the last thing we need is a return to tribal or emotional politics – you actually seem to be agreeing with me on this I will leave it there.

By all means criticise the MDC, constructively. Criticise them for the things they have actually done and how they counter ZANU’s rash actions but criticism based on an inate feeling that ZANU always wins or is winning is unfair. for the record I am not an MDC supporter but I do acknowledge the efforts they have made in helping bring us this far.

Comprehension skills can be hard to get. I simply mean that Roy Bennet has been arrested so early. Isn’t that an indicator to you that something is wrong with the so called GNU.

Secondly I don’t know what you mean by me conjuring up an idea that Tsvangirai is behind the arrest.

Whether its MPS or Ministers, just watch the process and tell me afetrwards if your hopes are so high as to dream of the man as a wise decision maker.

Do not be in denial, this guy has swallowed the idea of power and forgotten that it comes with alliances.

The Zapu I am talking about is different from your perception of it.

From your tone you sound up beat and I am not, yet. And parties formed out of emotion survive on it and the results are emotional decisions that end up being murderous in the name of ethnic sentiment, an outdated and retrogressive stance.

I am not zanu,never have been and will never be, but I am a critical observer. Don’t get excited by these early stages of so called ‘unity’. To me they are transparently fake.

Is criticism of the MDC a ticket to being zanu then!?

“At the city gate and by your fireside I have seen you prostrate yourself and worship your own freedom, even as slaves humble themselves before a tyrant and praise him though he slays them… You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief, but rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.

“And how shall you rise beyond your days and nights unless you break the chains which you at the dawn of your understanding have fastened
around your noon hour? In truth, that which you call freedom is the strongest of these chains, though its links glitter in the sun and dazzle your eyes. And what is it but fragments of your own self you would discard that you may become free? If it is an unjust law that you would abolish, that law was written with your own hand upon your own forehead. You cannot erase it by burning your law books nor by washing the foreheads of your judges, though you pour the sea upon them. And if is is a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed. For how can a tyrant rule the free and the proud, but for a tyranny in their own freedom and a shame in their own pride? And if it is a fear that you would dispel, the seat of that fear is in your heart and not in the hand of the feared.

Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape. These things move within you as lights and shadows in pairs that cling. And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers becomes a shadow to another light. And thus your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.”

As for ZAPU – remember they were in place before the elections and the people of Matabeleland still voted MDC.You are presenting a strange mix of wishful thinking and plain BS.

That is just what we need an opposition based on emotion.

Are you Zanu in Disguise?

He has frustrated his own party, and cracks are showing in the MDC, this early.

mugabe must be laughing at this MDC circus. Then people in Matabeleland want to form a new Zapu.

Why, the eastern block are already at it.

And the zapu people are starting a new emotionally charged opposition that will only lead to another frenzy of murder in matabeleland.

mugabe must know that tsvangirai has lost it in matabeleland. This is the time he can call for the ‘elections’ and ‘rout out’ this silly disorganised party.

Excitement = dreams of forex for us all.

Spare us tapota.

There is obviously a vendetta against Roy Bennett. They see him still as a dangerous foe and his life may very well be in danger. It seems to me that the armed forces chiefs (JOC) might well be involved. As for a charge of treason (which I understand has now been dropped), any attempt to interfere and overturn a constitutional and legitimate government, or part of it, by force is itself an act of treason. Zimbabwe has got a chance for a democratic and successful future, or it will remain bogged down in military style dictatorship and corruption. Roy Bennett certainly represents the former side of the equasion.

This letter serves as an encouragement to you in this time of the need .Remember the children of israel when they were about to leave Egypt.They were opressed to an extent of death but the Lord of heaven rescue them.This also applies to us we are about to cross the red sea and the king of Egypt is now working overtime by doing what he is doing to you.But one thing that i know is that we are going to cross the red sea and iam sure you do agree with me that we are almost 90% out of the red sea.So Mr Bennet don’t worry we are with you in our prayers.Remember the last kicks of a dying horse are very dangerous.

The Lord of heaven will serve you.

My family and I are praying for Roy and his loved ones.

I think the name and shame campaign will work and no matter how fanatical they are they also know there is a tomorrow

Keep strong. God be with you

Its time we contacted the sponsors of the World cup en masse and let them in on the truth.

Lets stop pussy footing around. We need action no more words.

Despite being an annoyance, as said in so many words by Tsvangirai, Mugabe has one thing in common with Saddam, Lumumba, Pol Pot, Duvalier, Marcos, Mussonlini etc – once they’re out of the way, things seem to change. It’s not always been for the better, but it enables system tweaks which would have otherwise impossible.

The name has to go – that’s with capital letters – GO! Then the flushing out can begin as those evil bastards panic & look for a new validator of their sinister agendas.

Don’t bother answering – that was rhetorical…
