General Constantino Chiwenga, a liberation war veteran , who originally liberated Zimbabwe during the liberation struggle, again led the liberation of Zimbabwe 37 years later from his own master the deposed president Robert Mugabe. General Constantino Chiwenga is n ow Zimbabwe’s Vice President and the ruling party ZANU PF Vice President. He along with other generals consider themselves as liberators of Zimbabwe and custodians of the liberation of Zimbabweans. The government of Zimbabwe is heavily militarised with figures like Mugabe’s cousin the RTD Airforce Commander General Perrance Shiri, and major General Sibusiso Moyo. We are also reliably informed that the generals have demanded that at least 25 % of the seats to be contested by Zanu pf in 2018 must field serving or retired military personnel.
Wake up Zimbabwe these generals removed Mugabe, installed Mnangagwa and now run the nation while Mnangagwa is just a powerless figure head under their control. Chiwenga is now more powerful than ever with his new position , military links and government influence. One would have to live on mars not to realise that Zec is staffed by retired military personnel. The whole system is designed to ensure that Zanu pf is not going to hand over the country to the people, vote or no vote!
Yes we celebrate the fall of Mugabe but unless and until we remove Mnangagwa, the whole Zanu PF structure from top to bottom we have only jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Zimbabwe is now a military state and its worrying when we see the death and destruction inflicted upon the innocent by military dictatorships worldwide, case in point recent horrors by the military in Burma that caused over a million people, whose villages were burnt, families raped, tortured and to fled to neighbouring Bangladesh for safety as poor refugees with nothing but the clothing on their backs, while the powerless figure head who is a military installation like Mnangagwa, watched. A military government is dangerous, we need to restore a constitutional government elected by the people. Wake up Zimbabwe, M nangagwa was never voted for but installed by the army as your president and if you sit back long enough your subjugation by the military will be normalised!
Mnangagwa is nothing but a military puppet and the power lies in the hands of the generals who call the shots, either he does what they want or they will remove him as simply as they did to Mugabe and then installed him. Zimbabweans need to seriously push for real changes that include Electoral reforms, levelling of the electoral play field, opening up of rural areas to campaigning and voter education by activists and opposition, demilitarisation of institutions and government, removal of draconian AIPPA and POSA and bring in SADC, AU and UN monitoring of elections in order to have free and fair elections if we are to remove Mnangagwa, Zanu pf stalwarts and securocrats.
Remember in 2008, deposed former president Robert Mugabe lost the election to MDC T Richard Morgan Tsvangirai and was about to give in and concede losing the election when the generals stepped in with Mnangagwa’s full knowledge and stopped him from doing that, and then this led to Mugabe with holding the election results for several months while he and the generals used the military to murder thousands. Remember this led, to the generals urgently ordering weapons from China to be used by Mugabe in fighting the people and MDC T attempts to legally take power after the 2008 election victory.
What most Zimbabweans still don’t realise is that a Chinese ship An Yue Jiang sailing to Durban harbor with 77 tonnes of small arms, 3m rounds of ammunition, AK47 assault rifles, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, for onward road transport from Durban to Zimbabwe defence Ministry in Harare.
The South African port workers refused to offload the deadly consignment as they feared the brutal Mugabe would butcher his people with the weapons. The Ship sailed round the coast of Africa country to country seeking to offload the weapons but with the whole world watching, TV cameras rolling 24/7 Helicopters and planes following the ship throughout, the weapons could not be offloaded at any port as the port workers in each country sympathised with Zimbabwe.
Remember again, these same generals were active in all genocides, murambatsvina, Chiadzwa gunship helicopters, murderous white farmer evictions, gukurahundi (Shiri as Fifth Brigade commander, Chiwenga as 1 Brigade commander in Bulawayo, the logistics centre for all 5th brigade raids across Matebeleland and Midlands). Mnangagwa throughout all genocides was either Minister of state security in charge of CIO or Justice Minister.
Mnangagwa, Shiri and Chiwenga are the real criminals behind Mugabe’s murderous reign. They live in fear of losing the country to the people of Zimbabwe as any shift towards legitimate rule, democratic governance, accountability can lead to them losing power, wealth and loot and worse of all prosecution for all their crimes. These three generals are key with Mnangagwa, blood stained and will not sit back and watch Zimbabwe handed over to the people,..wake up Zimbabwe! In theory, Mugabe was just a puppet to these generals, just like Mnangagwa and the country belongs to them,..wake up Zimbabwe! This is why these generals protected Mugabe in the coup, rewarded his blood filled past with US$10million, and gave him immunity from prosecution because they know they are infact the killers,..case in point, Mugabe has never physically tortured, maimed, shot or even slapped anyone,..it was the generals! They actually were not protecting him but protecting themselves in the get of jail card they gave him. Mnangagwa, Zanu pf stalwarts and securocrats must all go! Register to vote and vote wisely!
