admina trajectory beneficial to future generations.
One can love, loathe or despise villagers, but they remain the autochthons and vanguards of the revolution whose history dates back to the day the first man without knees, straddled the land of Munhumutapa.
In the village, people without history or rather aptly put across, a person who does not identify with his history, surely has not mastered the art of self-hood and self-destiny.
Village elders regard such a person as hollow, empty and bereft of knowledge. Village elders regard such a person unfit to head the village.
Such a man is described as a numbskull.
Normally, no matter how hard such a person tries to race with others, he or she is always left sprawling in the dust of fast advancing history and progress.
It is fact not fiction, that at the age of 89, President Mugabe is not at all fighting for his personal gain, but for the benefit of current and future generations.
That alone makes President Mugabe an institution and not an individual.
Institutions live forever, individuals die.
Long after President Mugabe will be gone from mother earth, his institutionalised legacy will remain with generation after generation of people.
In the village there is a dream that Mugabeism will be a very serious ideology in Zimbabwe and beyond.
His vision, principled stance, political tact and artistry has not only dazzled his opponents at home and abroad but all and sundry.
In the village, no amount of heavy rains can wash away the spots of a leopard.
Even prolonged downpour and so nothing can wash away President Mugabe’s legacy.
In the village, he is remembered for his farm input scheme, grain loan scheme, land reform, school computer programmes and of course the war of liberation.
Women remember President Mugabe for emancipation, for, did our mothers and grandmothers not start getting national identity cards in 1980?
Is it not true that ordinary women started accessing bank accounts at independence in 1980?
President Mugabe beliefs, principles and vision are not centred on what he should benefit himself, but on what the country should benefit.
Not on what he will benefit, but on what the nations should benefit, forever and ever.
When pitted against Morgan Tsvangirai, in the forthcoming election, the Mugabe institution is being pitted against an individual of flawed genius, a man who more often than not seeks to satisfy foreigners at the expense of the his own people.
The institution is being pitted against Tsvangirai, an individual whose handlers have admitted that they have strained their muscle to breaking point, trying to handle him.
By that token his individualism means that Tsvangirai has failed to be groomed into an institution.
He was by and large supposed to be an epitome of institutionalised western resistance to what is good for the majority Zimbabweans.
But Tsvangirai’s flip-flopping, dearth of principles and lack of vision has cannibalised the institution he was supposed to become.
In the village, voting for President Mugabe is seen as voting for institutionalised African values, principles, democracy, humanism emancipation, empowerment and forthrightness.
It is voting for re-establishment and reaffirmation of African humanism, for long eroded by the self-serving doctrine of white Rhodesian supremacy.
It is voting for black empowerment and liberation.
The obvious mistake Europe, the United States of America and MDC formations have been making, resulting in them being left with eggs splashed on their faces is that they take President Mugabe as a person and not an institution.
Ever since the liberation struggle, President Mugabe has turned from being an individual to being an institution, centred on promoting the core values that make the black person, a person.
His has become an institution that gives the black person the essence of living, the meaning of life and the real reason to feel a proud Zimbabwean.
Just events of the past week give an insight into what is held important in Tsvangirai’s heart and that is his ascendancy to political power.
All he thinks about is how to get into power and in that vein, the security forces, whose current leadership came from the war of liberation, which Tsvangirai himself despised, that he sees as one of the numerous stumbling blocks to his ascendancy.
In the village they would say, Tsvangirai has no skin on his face (haana ganda kumeso).
The MDC-T leader left Harare for the Sadc region, who for a long time he refused to recognise as authentic and fair. The question is when did it register in Tsvangirai’s mind that Sadc was a factor in Zimbabwe’s politics.
While President Mugabe is proceeding to conclude the total liberation of the country through indigenisation, Tsvangirai is concerned with security sector reforms in a bid to weaken Zimbabwe’s deterrence.
While President Mugabe is worried that the continued imposition of sanctions affects the ordinary person by suffocating agriculture, manufacturing and other facets of society, Tsvangirai thinks of advancing self-interest, centred on dealing with the security forces, which he sees as factor that denies him entry into power.
How selfish?
What do security sector reforms benefit this villager and his kith and kin in the land of milk, honey and dust or Guruve?
Villagers, are worried about sanctions that suffocated the agriculture financing bank, the Agribank, not security sector reforms.
Villagers are worried about sanctions that have affected cotton buyers and not security sector reforms. In the village what is security sector reform?
Villagers feel safe and well served by the country’s security forces. They are worried about hunger, about the illusive cash and about marketing their produce not security sector reforms. Villagers are more worried about retaining the pride they lost to Rhodesia and see ex-combatants as liberators and not villains.
Villagers see those who abandoned the war and went on to brew tea for the white man while their generation remained behind in the bush to fight under extreme conditions, as villains of untold magnitude.
In the village, Tsvangirai should have no stake in national politics, for, while his age-mates bit the Rhodesian Front bullets, he sought to make tea for the Rhodesians. When his age-mates slept on empty stomachs, Tsvangirai fed on the white man’s delicious left overs.
When his age mates, sacrificed everything for Zimbabwe, Tsvangirai chose to serve the opposite and today, he brazenly seeks the same. Once a sell-out, always one.
In the village the parents are worried about sanctions that have made cash scarce and made it difficult to pay school and examinations fees for children and not security sector reform. The villagers are no fools. They know that British military technical experts worked with the Zimbabwe Defence Forces way into independence until about 2000 and the British did not seek reform. What is it that should be reformed now?
We need as a nation to deal with those of our kind who seek political office to deface our humanism, to destroy our values and to defecate on the template of our revolutionary history.
We need to deal with latter day political parties that seek to defecate on the graves of those who lost life and limb in the fight to snatch Zimbabwe from the jaws of colonialism, glorifying illegal economic sanctions, and belittling the revolutionary fathers of this nation.
We need to look at ourselves and deal with the living puppets. In the culture of Cecil John Rhodes and others the dead never come back as spirits or through spirit medium, so why waste out time?
We must drill sense into the heads of MDC-T who have become willing slaves of the West and have no shame, telling the whole nation that our economy collapsed out of mismanagement and not sanctions.
We must drill, drill and drill harder the essence of African humanism that gay gangsters are not something the office if the Prime Minister can support.
It is the values that we must drill into these people, our brothers and sisters who have lost their social and political bearing. Their morals!
Once that is done, then we can retain our lost pride, our national unity and our dignity.
