Zimbabwean Political Climate
It is very disheartening to notice that the situation in Zimbabwe is deteriorating at an unprecedented pace all because of old man Mugabe and his party who are determined to cling onto power at all cost.
The situation has been worsened by the recent inclusion back to their Zanu (PF) fold of their biblical prodigal son Jonathan Moyo who has now sharpened his wits more intensely than ever before in order to save his skin while at the same time gaining political ground amongst the ageing geriatrics at the beleaguered Zanu-PF political party.
In articles that sometimes appear in The Zimbabwe Times, Jonathan Moyo doesn't care to mince his words when showering Mugabe and their politburo with unprecedented praise in a clear indication that the prodigal son has indeed repented and has realised that the error of his ways with Zanu-PF will always drive him into political oblivion.
In one of such articles Mr Moyo was heard rubber-stamping what is always parroted within Zanu-PF circles that Morgan Tsvangirai is a proxy of the West and that the gains of independence would be lost if Zimbabweans were ever swayed to vote in favour of MDC. He went on to utter tirades of scone against MDC's Deputy Minister of Agriculture-elect Roy Bennett accusing him of being a white Rhodesia who, in the heydays of pre-independence, was in the Rhodesia Light Infantry army unit whose major aim was to safeguard interests of the white minority. He is also heard boasting and portraying himself as a true patriotic warrior who will never condone anything that indicates a slightest reversal of the gains of independence that was brought about through blood, sweat and tears.
"All those who sacrificed their lives to see that Zimbabwe is truly liberated would have died in vain if we let those who stood in their way like Mr Bennett enjoy those fruits of independence." he is heard fuming.
It never crosses his mind that the war of liberation was waged to reverse a system and not individuals. General Josiah Magama Tongogara himself was always proclaiming that he envisaged an environment where people of all races lived in harmony with each other and not what Mr Moyo is now attempting to make Zimbabweans believe. He totally ignores the fact that amongst the rank and file of Zanu-PF there exist influential individuals like Philip Chiyangwa who were in police reserve units whose purpose was to patrol the borders of Zimbabwe to deter young men and women who attempted to cross the border to neighbouring countries like Botswana, Zambia and Mozambique from joining the liberation movement.
Mr Jonathan Moyo chooses to look the other way while we are also witnessing some Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) operatives who, during the war of liberation, were members of the notorious Selous Scouts that committed untold atrocities through deceit. It is no secret that the Selous Scouts' deadly operation was to deceive the locals by ably pretending to be freedom fighters as they spied and supplied inside information to the Rhodesian Army who would later fly in and bombard unsuspecting freedom fighters and others who perished in their thousands in camps such at Chimoio and Nyadzonya.
Every Zimbabwean including Mr Morgan Tsvangirai knows what the nation went through to attempt any reversal of our independence that came as a result of the supreme sacrifices taken by our gallant liberators to listen to the nonsense being churned by the likes of Jonathan Moyo who are, in fact, the ones reversing the gains of our hard-won independence by subjugating the same people whose suffering provided the impetus to go to war in the first place.
If only we could observe the rule of law on fundamental human rights, we will rest assured that we wont be letting down our fallen heroes by denying their fervent wish to see Zimbabweans living in harmony with each other.
