Duping voters mantra for MDCs

expectations with the highest sensibility it deserves.
Its my wish that the electorate has since learnt that if  one sees a crocodile shedding tears at the riverbank appearing to be very sick, attempts to comfort it are fatal, one would be devoured.
In 1999 the MDC was formed promising people that the rule of law, good governance, transparency, accountability, democracy and human rights would be practised in a far better manner than what Zanu-PF was doing.
The labour party hood-winked the electorate by vociferous propaganda that they were for real democratic change.
The urban population went into high illusion overdrive, thinking that the MDC was an indigenous party that was advocating for change. Hardly did they know that the MDC thinking was voucher thinking.
Hardly did they know that the logic they were expressing was sponsored logic.
I once wrote an article titled “The Open Palm of Treachery”. Readers of this paper need to read that article together with the series on this topic in order to see how the MDC has transformed into a multi-party within a party. Reading that article with the series of this topic will enable readers to see what the MDC, as an appendage of Western power, has advanced vouchered-thinking and sponsored logic with their open palm of treachery.
The MDC is advocating Euro-centric ideas as an ideology at the expense of home-grown solutions. Taking a cue from its formative days it has proved it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The MDC as a Rhodies project wishes to ensure white supremacy remains despite the struggles waged for emancipation. They are schooled in the Western ideas, an alien culture that to some extend respects the law while treading on the peoples’ tears.
Fellow Zimbabweans, Euro-centric, alien culture and ideas that are being marketed to the populace destroy national values, sovereignty and integrity. Can this nation be known as a without “unhu/ubuntu” nationhood? What legacy and precedence would our youths learn? A legacy of open treachery and self-destruction? It has been noticed world over that where the Western agenda is forwarded the indigenous people of that state suffer. A good example is of a similar project that can be drawn from a similar labour party north of the Zambezi.
The MMD took over power from UNIP, a revolutionary party, under the leadership of Chiluba, a trade unionist, after using the same tactic of demonising founding fathers through the same rhetoric of corruption, rule of law and accountability, among others.
What did the Zambians benefit from the rule of Chiluba? Nothing. When Chiluba got into power he sold all the Zambian mines for a song. Chiluba betrayed the electorate he purported to represent because he was not himself but the face of the West. In the same vein, the MDC always seeks guidance from its masters on issues that affect the people it say it represent.
The MDC is a tool used to advocate for the Anglo-Saxons to remain on our land. How can someone be knighted as “The Commander Legion of Honour’’ from former colonial architects like France and rejoice over it? What honour, whose honour when the knighted person brought suffering to his own people?
They (MDC) sought relevance where they cannot fit.
Rather, it’s just full of career politicians, not real people-driven and oriented cadres. It boggles the mind to see people in the rank and file of the MDC who campaigned vigorously against the land reform even when national leaders/ heroes like the late Father Zimbabwe yearned for it. The land that was fought for, which many young innocent sons and daughters of Zimbabwe perished for has no value in the MDC ideology.
In 2000 at the peak of the land reform when a colonial injustice was being redressed, when the indigenous peoples of Zimbabwe irrespective of tribe and origin rose against the settlers the MDC campaigned against this noble cause saying it was unlawful. Interestingly, when the indigenisation act was passed and being effected they continue crying foul. MDCs, the brood of vipers, foot soldiers of the imperialists.
Remember they are a brainchild of the Rhodies where Rhodies invested openly during its launch?
The affairs of the state Zimbabwe must be administered by Zimbabweans. Spare a thought for all those who perish to emancipate this land from the yoke of colonialism. This un-African party should appreciate the sacrifices others made for it to now romp freely and denounce its liberators unashamed. Falsewoods and fabricated articles continue to be published by the international media and they cast a blind eye whilst the electorate is polluted.
In 2000 the MDC lobbied for a No vote on the Chidyausiku Constitution (CC) through the instructions of its handlers only to later acknowledge that it was a very good Constitution. The CC was campaigned against because it had clauses that clearly defined that the land issue was irreversible. It should be noted that anything African is viewed by the MDC as undemocratic.
Brethren, let us not be disillusioned by the MDC, a party that promised heaven on earth when it got into the inclusive Government. Morgan Tsvangirai, its leader had the guts to say openly on national television that he had the keys to the economy after he was sworn into office. What honey has the populace enjoyed?
