If the devil could quote the scriptures to Jesus to try and talk him out of the holy trinity, one wonders how low politicians, especially those from opposition political parties, will stoop to manipulate any situation for their ends.
The only truth about these individuals is the fact that they are humans like us.
Their concerns and what they represent is tainted by deceptive machinations to get to the top.
MDC-T youths national leader Happymore Chidziva termed the ongoing employee purges economic genocide.
That was a fair attempt towards naming a situation, but their position in this matter remains undefined. Instead they adopted the cowards’ stunt of fence-sitting while sprucing their premeditated escalation of crises in Zimbabwe.
Chidziva’s utterance in an interview, that the streets would become their second homes, speaks volumes of the chaos that they so much adore and wish for. This, however, does not come as a surprise given the faction-riddled MDC-T’s penchant for breakaways. It is a party that has run out of tact and ideas, hence it can only thrive on chaos.
Its leadership in general and Tsvangirai in particular, made stunning statements of a deliberate plan to fuel crises in Zimbabwe.
It is thus expecting too much from the MDC-T to ask them to be a people oriented and loyal opposition to the cause of Zimbabwe.
Against this background, to then have someone lament economic genocide is the height of hypocrisy. Because of the MDC-T’s capitalistic inclinations, they are caught between a rock and a hard surface. If they side with employees, they would have bitten the hand that feeds them.
Singing from the employers hymn sheet basically exposes their money-based politicking which is generally anti-people.
How they balance the matrix is simple. Inconsistency and crisis escalation with the sole purpose of diverting attention from their manifesto, and using a modus operandi that yields short-lived, high returns. The insatiable appetite for power by the MDC-T qualifies them as nothing but economic terrorists.
Terrorists are not concerned about results at the end of the day. They are good at instilling terror in people and this is propagated by prophets of doom such as Chidziva. Terrorists are less bothered by the consequences of their actions as their prime concern is to attract attention, stir chaos and fear and ultimately armtwist the somewhat vulnerable population.
Talk also of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU) — that organisation purporting to be a labour movement, but whose position in this employer-employee brawl remains dubious.
President Mugabe has been unequivocal in his concern for the plight of workers. Tsvangirai could not take such a bold position because he has selfish interests to protect. The MDC-T leader, unlike President Mugabe, is given to vacillating.
Interestingly, people have eyes to see all this and exercise their powers in the ballot box.
When they do so, only those myopic individuals such as Chidziva cling on to the fallacy that Zanu-PF uses hook and crook to win elections. Wake up and get a reality check, man.
Call Raymond Majongwe and get the notes straight that ZANU-PF resoundingly beat clueless MDC-T.
The Progressive Teachers Union Z of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) boss does not mince his words when articulating the whitewash defeat the MDC-T suffered at the hands of ZANU PF.
Chidziva also needs to be reminded that as a nation, we cannot afford to forget that the sanctions are the brainchild of the MDC-T. The manner you are now frothing about escalating crises by way of demonstrations and other nefarious means only serves to confirm the scape-goating and victim tag that the party is wont to adopt for its convenience.
To the workers and the rest of Zimbabweans, the MDC-T has only but crises to give the nation. That party is not losing sleep over the plight of employees. Just as Chidziva is regurgitating the escalation of crises mantra that is a favourite of Tsvangirai, it would be folly for the flock to be converted by a devil’s exhortations just because the monster has cited a few verses from the Holy Book.
