Governance and absence of MDCs

Published on

THE month of January is a month of renewals when people review the previous year and come up with amends that try to address past failures.
Some resolve to stop drinking, smoking, flirting … the list is endless.
Some do not want to hope.
They want to know.
They look into the crystal ball and the ball crystallises the future for them to read it in 3-D.
And they walk away knowing exactly what is in the offing and are prepared to handle it by the crystallised foreknowledge.
Some keep what they read in the crystal ball close to their chest and simply wait.
And, they are the wise ones because if what the crystal ball says doesn’t come to pass, no one knows they actually knew the wrong thing.
Last year, Eddie Cross looked into his own crystal ball and he saw a Rhodesian nirvana come to pass.  
He saw that black people had voted against their own interests in order to restore Rhodesian interests that relegated black people to servile status.
Eddie Cross actually saw black people co-operating with a commission that would be set up to investigate (interestingly) not how Rhodesians harvested their wealth from the abuse of black people, but rather, how black people acquired wealth after independence.
Eddie Cross actually saw the biggest street party ever, celebrating an MDC victory.
And poor Eddie Cross could not keep what the crystal ball said to himself.
From crystal ball, he went straight to the press.
Now, in retrospect, after the people’s vote vehemently excluded the MDCs from any decision-making position in government, one wonders if it was Eddie Cross who looked into the crystal ball or it was the crystal that looked into Eddie Cross’ head and then published the ill contents for the black world to witness and pity the racist prophecy.
It is sad that the MDCs think Zimbabwe will be ungovernable and won’t go forward if they remain out of government.
And, it is as if they are talking to people who are not privy to the disaster they brought into the government of national unity (GNU) in which they became the conduit of enemy action against the same black electorate.
For starters, the enemy ran a parallel government-in-waiting through the office of the MDC Prime Minister.
And, world history is unambiguous about how such a structure is never put in place for the interests of the indigenous particularly if sponsored by the world’s greatest threat to global peace, the USA.
It was an arrangement specifically put in place to make Zimbabwe ungovernable as evidenced by the Afghanistan, Iraq and Libyan fiascos.
The MDCs crafted the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZDERA) which continues to interfere with Zimbabwe’s international credit lines.
ZDERA was crafted not to serve or save Zimbabwe, but to make it ungovernable.
They compiled the list of policy makers on the illegal travel ban list and this is an interference with proper governance which translates to making Zimbabwe ungovernable.
The MDC’s opposition to land reform would have made Zimbabwe ungovernable given their sponsored desire to either reverse the process or secure full compensation for white settlers who themselves obtained the contested land through human rights abuse.
One simply has to imagine the immediate consequence of dispossessing the black beneficiaries of land re-distribution in order to re-empower white settlers.
In another interview with the BBC, Tsvangirai admitted that the majority of black Zimbabweans did not like homosexuality, but his position was that it was a human right.
And, these views on homosexuality too, would have made Zimbabwe ungovernable given that the majority of Zimbabweans vehemently oppose the practice.
And, what all this means is that given all the foregoing MDC shenanigans which translate to only a tip of the problem iceberg, the idea that Zimbabwe will become ungovernable simply because the majority black voters have emphatically excluded the Western-sponsored opposition from interfering with black empowerment government policies is way off the mark.
Rather, the people of Zimbabwe must breathe a sigh of relief that the disunity that characterised the days of the GNU is over.
Like the Mozambican MNR, the MDCs’ propensity for anti-African discord is a design feature incorporated into their membership, structures, policies and sponsorship to save racist interests that ironically consolidate the dispossession of the black race that is inclusive of their membership.
Black people must send a clear message to the Western world that Zimbabwe will always be peaceful and governable if black Zimbabweans are not interfered with in their democratic processes.
And, above all, Africans must understand that there is no nation without problems.
Even the nations that are sponsoring havoc in Africa have far worse problems of their own and these are the problems they are trying to solve through the disorganisation of Africa.  
Why after all would Western nations where blacks who are tiny minority and yet conversely constitute the majority of prison populations because the law does not protect them, be the ones to clamour for the human rights of the same people in Africa where they have the numerical advantage to design their own justice?
