Little old Simon Khaya Moyo still chanting “Zimbabwe will never be a colony again”

18^th September 2021

On the 24^th of August 2021 there was a news article on Nehanda Radio about Simon Khaya Moyo

whereby he was quoted repeating variations of the ZANU-PF mantra ‘Zimbabwe will never be a colony again’. For those who do not know the man, Simon Khaya Moyo is one of the many very old men in ZANU-PF who have been stinking up Zimbabwean politics for 41 years with incompetency and by being out of touch with reality. He looks a bit like papa smurf and is more than 30 years past his sell by date.

So anyway, word on the street is that Khaya Moyo is hoping to become another second Vice President a position which he is perfectly suited on the basis that it’s a position traditionally reserved for  a very old and useless non-Shona person. The last two men who occupied that second VP role were notorious for being absolutely hopeless.

So, what’s happening is that Khaya Moyo is campaigning to get this position, but true to form everything he is saying is not only nonsense but confirmation that he is out of touch with reality. ZANU-PF’s standard propaganda against the MDC Alliance (the genuine one, not the opportunists led by Douglas Mwonzora) involves false accusations that the opposition are bankrolled by the West. So, for Khaya Moyo to say Zimbabwe will never be a colony again during the same week when ZANU-PF have been rubbing their hands with glee at the IMF money they received, is an example of his lack of self-awareness. The fact of the matter is that ZANU-PF are the ones that are selling the country to the highest bidders who so far have been the Chinese. As shown by the events of this week, ZANU-PF will accept money from anyone because they don’t have the know-how of making money using innovative business.

One of the benefits of removing ZANU-PF from power is that the country will no longer need to subsidise the lifestyles of old and useless politicians like Khaya Moyo who have never achieved anything for the Zimbabwean people. As it happens, the oldest most dangerous and useless politician in Zimbabwe is the man who made himself President, and we cannot wait to see the back of him in 2023.

The IMF USD1bn could be used to fund a military crackdown before and during 2023 election

18^th September 2021

The rumours going around on social media indicate that ZANU-PF are a bit concerned with the events

in Zambia where an opposition party leader beat the incumbent (Edgar Lungu).  Before the announcement of the election results, it appeared Lungu was trying to rig the result but within days the results were announced and Lungu had no choice but to accepted defeat.

The way politics in Africa works is that the incumbent usually has complete control of the military, police and judiciary who are the people who uphold and enforce the electoral result.  What happened in Zambia is that this state apparatus deserted Lungu in favour of the opposition leader. This is something that definitely bothered Mnangagwa which is why it took him long to congratulate Hichilema. In ZANU-PF’s eyes, the unthinkable happened i.e., the military rejected a sitting president, similar to what happened to Mugabe in 2017 but in a general election.  ZANU-PF was hoping that the Zambian military and state apparatus would rig the election and ignore the public vote, something Mnangagwa and company have been doing since 1980. This is why the regime’s loudmouths have been jittery and going on the offensive on social media.

Seeing the events in Zambia unfold, will definitely compel Mnangagwa and his generals to prepare the military and state apparatus to act in his favour come 2023. This will include paying the generals huge bonuses, buying them new cars, and giving them free money via tenders. In addition, the military and police will most likely receive new weapons and kit which they will use to crackdown on the opposition.

What this means is that we in the opposition need to keep an eye on how this USD1bn is being spent and publicising to the world about any dodgy spending of this IMF money by ZANU-PF. We have had enough of ZANU-PF and we want them gone!!!

ZANU-PF could use the IMF USD1bn to fund their 2023 election campaign, including the rigging

18^th September 2021

By Nontokozo Malaba Ncube

A number of political observers have focused on the likelihood that ZANU-PF will use the IMF money to ‘fund’ agriculture and mining. For those who may not be in the know, in Zimbabwe, agriculture and mining are the sectors which ZANU-PF uses to steal money from the state. And it’s not like this IMF money is going to be guarded against corruption while it’s at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. The Minister of Finance has a history of taking people’s money. Moreover, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe is not safe from ZANU-PF. It’s essentially their personal bank. It is most likely that ZANU-PF is going to steal this IMF money through their usual scams in agriculture and mining. But many people are failing to see that this money could also be used by ZANU-PF to fund their 2023 election campaign.

As long as this USD1bn from the IMF is at the Reserve Bank, ZANU-PF will toy with it. Political analysts believe that ZANU-PF steals public money for two reasons; to line their pockets and those of their families, friends, and mistresses, and to keep themselves in power. We already know that a lot of this money is going to be stolen by Mnangagwa, his kinsmen and the cartel around him. But with an election less than 2 years away, ZANU-PF will use some of this money to fund their campaign of violence and the rigging. They will buy beer and trinkets for the hapless youths to “motivate” them to engage in violence against perceived opponents of the ZANU-PF government. They will buy 4x4s for chiefs and political commissars across the country. A significant part of this election war chest will be funding the electoral rigging. This often involves bribing officials at the ZEC and hiring dodgy companies from Russia or such like to rig the election behind the scenes.

As such, all democrats and the genuine opposition in Zimbabwe need to do their own fundraising to be able to compete with what ZANU-PF has. Without money we have no chance in the 2023 election. For the sake of the country, and future generations, ZANU-PF needs to be removed the same way Zambia got rid of its useless President and his party few weeks ago.

WE STAND WITH SIMBA

As ROHR Zimbabwe we are very concerned with the treatment Simba Mujakachi is getting at the hands of an unsympathetic immigration system. To us he could be a son, brother, nephew etc.. What is happening to him can happen to anyone who is still in the process of seeking asylum in this country. 

We are an organisation that fights for human rights. We believe Simba Mujakachi is being unfairly and inhumanly treated by an unsympathetic immigration system which has forced the NHS to send Simba a bill of £100,000.00. 

Simba’s story is well covered by the media and can be found on this link. People seeking asylum go through a lot and Simba's story is evidence of how hostile the immigration system is. We are not only standing with Simba because he is a Zimbabwean. We can do this for anyone but this one hits us hard because it is closer to home. We have a great relationship with RtR and TWMF as we all fight for the same cause and our members have worked and continue to work directly with Simba. They describe him as an intelligent amazing young man whose life has been affected by this insensitive immigration system. He is now living in anxiety with a £100,000 bill on his shoulders We are asking the UK government to be more sympathetic to this young man and all people in his situation. Reality is that, with his medical condition, he will never be able to work, let alone pay this bill even if he was to be given the right to work. JUSTICE FOR SIMBA

Margaret Tashayawedu - Why Zimbabweans should demonstrate against ED if he comes to the UK.

Why Zimbabweans should demonstrate against ED if he comes to the UK.

Word on the rumour mill is that the current Zimbabwean dictator, Mnangagwa will be making some sort of state visit to the UK very soon. , Munangagwa should prepare himself for the strong resistance that his presence  in the UK will face from Zimbabweans in this country. Our resistence to his presence is based on how he has been leading the country. Under his watch millions of dollars has been looted that could have been used to equipped our floundering hospitals, creat employment for the youth and develop our rural schools.

There is a strong contingent of democrats, human rights activists and MDC Alliance supporters here who will exercise their right to protest against his shoddy leadership. He should know that the UK is not Zimbabwe, and over here no one is scared of him, he won’t be able to use his ZRP goons or the army to shoot protesters.  We will demonstrate on behalf of of other Zimbabweans back home who are not allowed to exercise their constitutional rights to protest over the state of affairs in the country. We  are all sick and tired of  Zanu Pf leadership, they have had fourty one years in leadership but people are worse of. The time has come Zanu PF must go.
