MNANGAGWA’S new cabinet is confirmation of the militarisation with a 22 member cabinet with securocrats like gukurahundist Mugabe nephew Perrance Shiri and major Gen Sibusiso Moyo
This is the time to wake up and realise what Zanu pf has engineered with the people’s support. We have for years had the oppressive Mugabe with the military behind him and brutally oppressing people at elections.
However its not rocket science that recent military take over was cloud cover to remove Grace Mugabe who had usurped executive power and was now threatening Generals.
Mnangagwa’s cabinet is just typical Zanu pf recycled faces from Mugabe’s cabinet, who were a total failure all along, militarisation of the cabinet, cementing of his power and leading us into the same if not worse scenario eventually.
This is a time when Zimbabweans should not lose their guard but instead step forward and register for the BVR vote because we cannot afford to rest until Mnangagwa and Zanu pf stalwarts and securocrats fall.
As things stand, we have the same people who stood behind Mugabe’s oppression of the people, celebrated the corruption as they grew filthy rich from it, while enforcing torture, disappearance, murder, forced exile, election violence and rigging.
None of these criminals have been stripped of their loot but instead made ministers, in charge of the same oppressive system with draconian law in place.
AIPPA and POSA are still in place, Diaspora Zimbabwe’s the real game changers in this because they are where they are due to what Mugabe put them through and they are absolutely against Zanu pf, are denied dual citizenship and voter rights. If Mnangagwa allows them to vote at embassies worldwide, opens up rural areas to voter education and activist campaigns, provides a free and fair election environment, removes Zvimba Girl Zanu PF Justice Rita Makarau from Zec Chair post and allows election monitoring by the United nations then we will have a fair shot at removing this dictatorship or else we are set to live through worse than what Mugabe put the people through, because nothing has changed, and nothing will!
The tactical generals managed to convince the world that this was not a coup and effectively retire Mugabe with a hefty US$10 million lump sum and other benefits including leaving him and Grace to enjoy their loot at the blue mansion in Borrowdale Harare.
Mnangagwa yesterday demonstrated what I have warned the people of Zimbabwe about before. Zimbabwe is finally becoming a fully militarised state. Mnangagwa openly declared on return that Mugabe is a father, a mentor and he will always seek his counsel , so its obvious that nothing has changed.

I’d like to urge people to open their eyes to whats happening in Zimbabwe. As a final step to the militarisation of the Zimbabwe government by the new Zimbabwe President, it is obvious that the next person to be rewarded for his efforts in rallying the military forward and unsitting Mugabe is General Chiwenga. It would be a miracle not to have appointed as Zimbabwe’s Vice President by President Mnangagwa,..watch this space!
