THE recent utterance by former Hurungwe West Zanu-PF chairperson, Temba Mliswa that MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai will win the Presidential 2018 elections is nothing, but just a mere wishful thinking of a person who tasted sour grapes after his expulsion from Zanu-PF. After being rejected from the revolutionary party, Temba Mliswa is desperately to find political space and they say any publicity is good publicity. Political turncoat Mliswa is praising Tsvangirai saying that he is the only person who can outwit Zanu-PF from power that is hogwash. Political spent forces like Morgan Tsvangirai has nothing tangible to offer to the people of Zimbabwe.
Mliswa has proved that he is confused and his statements are delusional and he does not have confidence in his own person after losing to Cde Keith Guzah of Zanu-PF in the June 10 by-election for a Parliamentary seat in Hurungwe West.
After the dabbing he vowed that he will not participate in any future elections, instead he would focus on other pursuits like farming and his many political noises are coming as a surprise to many.
Maybe he has to a realisation that his decision of quitting politics was not fruitful as it made him who he is today hence the quick reversal and then rallied behind the political-shy Mai Joice Mujuru who is still hiding politically after her bruising ouster. Realising that is a dead horse, Mliswa is now backing Tsvangirai, the limping horse.
It is quite true that Tsvangirai’s poorly political performances and ill decisions were an eye opener to the electorate.
Tsvangirai has proved that he is not capable to lead this nation. He even failed to lead his own political party, MDC-T. As it stands, that opposition party is on the verge of collapsing. There are many squabbles currently taking in the party which l am sure will result into another comedic split.
Reports have it that there are conflicts between MDC-T Bulawayo provincial leaders and the party’s founders, the MDC-T Veterans Activists’ Association (MDCVAA), following the installation of Bulawayo deputy mayor Gift Banda as substantive provincial chairman.
One would then wonder how on earth a person like Morgan who is failing to put his house in order will manage to lead a big nation like Zimbabwe.
If Mliswa is of the notion that Tsvangirai will win the Presidential election he dreaming in neverland.
Mliswa should have seen the light that Zimbabwe is absolutely different from Senegal where a former opposition party leader, Abdoulaye Wade won Presidential elections after so many years of struggling.
Former MDC-T secretary general, Tendai Biti recently confirmed that opposition political parties are in disarray. It is worrisome that most opposition parties have no concrete ideologies or policies that they can proffer against those of the ruling party that can assist in reviving the nation’s economy.
Another political turncoat who is making wild assumptions about the 2018 election is the ousted Mwenezi East legislature, Kudakwashe Bhasikiti who is making constant noises making himself appear the fool.
Bhasikiti is linked to the Movement for People First which is alleged to be under the leadership of former Vice President, Mai Joice Mujuru.
Bhasikiti created his own demise by fanning factionalism in Masvingo Province. President Mugabe once warned the former Masvingo Provincial chairperson that he was in the wrong basket.
After his ouster from the revolutionary party, Bhasikiti has been loud in the media trying to make news through criticising the ruling party for his expulsion. It is true when they say ‘empty vessels make the loudest noise’. It is sad that Bhasikiti and his colleagues from People First have been noisy in the press without saying anything significant.
Surely one can question the existence of a political party of political rejects. How can that party survive? Most people in the People First project are power hungry and political cowards that it be very difficult among that political outfit to choose a leader.
Honestly, can a political reject lead another political reject?
Surprisingly, Margaret Dongo recently made a nonsensical statement saying that she will team up with Mujuru in order to ‘rescue’ the country. What is new that can be expected from Mujuru that is different from what she has been doing during her tenure as Vice President.
Dongo should stop misinforming the nation. What she can anticipate from Mujuru is lead that political party into oblivion.
Mujuru once noted that she was not there to be pushed into politics as she had her own time and future plans about politics. Nevertheless, Mujuru may be quite cognisant that she has nothing new to offer and fighting the formidable Zanu-PF nothing will come out of it and one has to only ask Dumiso Dabengwa, Simba Makoni, Morgan Tsvangirai and many others who have fallen by the wayside.
