What should we concentrate on at this point in time?
I'm sitting at a place which I call "home away from home" and I've discovered that I have forgotten the power-lead for the lap-top.
This has become a blessing in disguise because it has shown me that apparently I have to take a proper look at what it is exactly that we must focus on when dealing with the Zim crisis!
If I had the power chord with me, I would write for 10 hours and describe how and why we rigged the Elections as I promised a few weeks ago!
Now I've only got about an hour of "stored" power and I've to be as brief as possible!
What purpose would it serve if I wrote about all the details of how the Elections were rigged? Who sincerely believes the Zim Elections were "free and fair"? What new stuff would I bring forward? Would it materially change the present situation?
I think if anyone really wants to know about how we rigged the Elections, they can arrange for a Press Conference and I will give it my best shot.
In the same vein, I challenge anyone (even President Thabo Mbeki or Mr Robert Mugabe himself) to a "live" Television debate on that issue and any other "allegations" that I have made in any of my writings. That would be a very simple assignment! I would then be the perfect "sell-out."
But I really need to know from you, dear readers:
Is it the core-issue to prove "beyond any reasonable doubt" that the Elections were "rigged"? Or should we concentrate on why they were rigged? I ask this question because those of us who did the various acts and deeds did them in the best of faith believing we were doing the "Revolution" a service.
That is what, in my humble opinion, is what we must concentrate on!
The violence and the "machinations" against the MDC can be read on www.chinja.blogspot.com and on a detailed article posted elsewhere in my blogs as "THE SAD STORY OF THE MDC 1999 to 2006" which one can get the link thereof at www.finalpushzim.blogspot.com .
Numerous blog-sites and radio stations concentrate on describing the events, the events and the events! This may be correct as simple journalism, but we need to look at the IDEOLOGICAL ARGUMENTS! For instance, why do you think Mr Mbeki seems "impotent" on the Zim crisis? Do you think he does not know all about the rigging, the violence etc that happened esp from 2000 to date?
Mr Mbeki would be a "common liar" if he said he didn't know!
The real issue is the "direction" of the Continent vis-à-vis the whole "imperialist forces" and the so-called "Western World."
The question is: "Who are the MDC and what do they stand for?"
Cde Mugabe once said at the National Heroes' Acre at the funeral of somebody or other: "KANA MUKOMA ATADZA, VANUN'UNA MUNOGARA PASI NAYE PASINA VAENZI NAVAUYI, MOGADZIRISANA NAYE!"
("IF THE ELDER BROTHER IS AT FAULT, THE YOUNG BROTHERS MUST SIT DOWN WITH HIM WHERE THERE ARE NEITHER VISITORS NOR FOREIGNERS THEN YOU SORT OUT YOUR GRIEVANCES PRIVATELY WITH HIM!")
Just here I will be labelled a ZANU-PF "propagandist!
That's the tragedy of the Zim situation!
If you explain any issue as objectively as you can, either ZANU-PF will throw you "out the window" as a "sell-out" or the MDC will similarly label you as a ZANU-PF Propagandist!
That's precisely why we will never get to the solution of the multiplicity of the problems facing the beloved country.
Some are so "fixed" on either side because they benefit from the continuation of the crisis!
Some are unemployable in the "real world" and would not see themselves "surviving" in a normal situation. So for them dust must always be up in the air so that (if they are with ZANU-PF), they should continue to be called upon to "fish out and torture" the so-called MDC "sell-outs."
If they are with the MDC, they must be available to present "papers" and "reports" and receive "donor funds."
I'm extremely unpopular with both sides because ZANU-PF views me as a "sell-out" and the MDC sees me as a "ZANU-PF sympathiser."
But, come on, brothers and sisters!
Can we not sit down and come up with a "STATEMENT OF AGREED FACTS."?
For instance, one major issue is the question of LAND!
I read an article by one young white writer who claimed that was never a LAND QUESTION in Zimbabwe. That is very dangerous fallacy. Why should it be believed that a black man should be a white man's servant forever? On the other hand, did we have to beat up and literally kill the white farmers in order to "rectify" the land ownership imbalances? Now that we did it in that manner, why do we blame the "West" for their re-action to our violent seizures of the land (even if it is obvious that the imbalances had to be rectified)?
Why does ZANU-PF expect the "West" to smile at what we did?
Suppose Britain does compensate all the farmers whom we displaced, is that the end of the story?
Who should compensate all the supporters of the MDC (mainly "blacks") who were killed, maimed, displaced etc and their only crime was to support a Political Party of their choice? Is it ZANU-PF? Whose funds should ZANU-PF use to pay for those claims? The tax-payers' money?
Who should compensate the victims of the "Gukurahundi Era"? The ex-ZIPRA forces have not yet got their "NITRAM" FARMS back 20 years after the so-called "UNITY ACCORD" between ZANU-PF and PF-ZAPU? Or does nobody care? Or should we forget all about it? What seeds have we sown and what are the future implications of "ignoring" the "MATEBELELAND MASSACRES"?
Do we not see the need for a comprehensive "ALL-INCLUSIVE" ALL-PARTY CONFERENCE to deal with all the issues affecting our beloved land?
When Robert Mugabe, Morgan Tsvangirai, and all of us alive now are gone, what will our children say of us? Did we deal well with the "LAND QUESTION"? Were we "expelling" all the white famers? Should South Africa do the same?
Should Namibia do the same?
Is Robert Mugabe the hero of the African ?
If he is, why is he sheltering a man who is required in Ethiopia to face justice for the crimes he committed against the former Emperor Haille Sellase and numerous of his officials?
Then also, "WHAT DO WE WANT DONE TO MR ROBERT MUGABE?"
Should a hand of reconciliation be offered to him as he offered to his former oppressors in 1980?
Does Robert Mugabe think and know that anyone is "after his blood"?
Does he believe that solving the "LAND QUESTION" will atone for his numerous other atrocities (many against "his own people" ie the black man)?
So do we now appreciate the complexity of the Zim issue?
Do we appreciate the "load" which is upon Mr Thabo Mbeki's shoulders?
I then appreciate why Mbeki had to "cover up" for Robert Mugabe!
Does he not know what Mugabe faces if he suddenly became an ordinary person just today?
Will Mugabe get adequate refuge in South Africa? How will the new Administration in Zimbabwe view him(ie Mbeki)?
Tsvangirai has already warned Mbeki about protecting Mugabe!
Then there is a question of corruption!
The ordinary Zimbabweans know how the ZANU-PF Leadership has "siphoned" Zimbabwe's wealth in the past 27 years!
Will the whole top ZANU-PF Leadership also seek refuge in South Africa?
I invite you to read an article entitled "AGRRESSIVE WRITERS REQUIRED" which is posted elsewhere on these blog-sites. (You can see the postings at www.finalpushzim.blogspot.com )
My wn interest is to see JUSTICE done to all!
The white farmers must be compensated by the former Colonial Power!
ZANU-PF must compensate all those who suffered unjustly under its 27-year rule!
EVERY-ONE MUST FACE HIS PAST AND ACCOUNT FOR IT!
Blaming Mr Tony Blair alone will not get us anywhere!
That the Elections were rigged is not the question!
THAT IS VERY OBVIOUS!
The question should be:
HOW DO WE GET OUT OF THIS MESS WHICH HAS DESTROYED OUR BELOVED ZIMBABWE?
