Professor Ncube cannot compare himself, sheep in wolf clothing to Myanmar's Aug San Suu Kyi a sheep by P Guramatunhu

Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), led by Welshman Ncube, has reportedly said the fall of Myanmar's dictatorship was an indication Zimbabwe would one day be freed from the rule of President Robert Mugabe and his Zanu-PF party.

Ncube said this in a congratulatory message to Myanmar's opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi

 

The trouble with corrupt and incompetent leaders; they are always looking for excuses and scapegoats for their own failures. Mugabe and Zanu PF are still in power today because of anything they have done but rather for what Professor Ncube and his MDC friends failed to do.

 

After the barbarism of the wanton violent elections of 2008 SADC forced President Mugabe and Zanu PF to sign the Global Political Agreement (GPA) at the heart of which that the GNU would implement a number of democratic reforms so that the violence and all the other irregularities that had characterized the 2008 elections will never be repeated. MDC was to implement the reforms and to be fair to SADC they did the best to get MDC to implement the reforms.

 

President Mugabe bribed the MDC leaders to kick the reforms into the tall grass with the gravy train lifestyles including the $4 million Highlands mansion for MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai. MDC leaders sold-out! So at the end of the GNU not even one reform was implemented and President Mugabe and Zanu PF were able to rig the July 2013 elections with easy and get back into power.

 

SADC heads rightly complained that MDC leaders “enjoyed being in the GNU and forgot why they were there!”

 

Myanmar's opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi and her colleagues have fought that nation’s military junta all the way, there is no point anyone can ever accuse her of being corrupt and incompetent let alone selling out. To try and compare MDC leaders to Myanmar’s opposition leaders is therefore to insult the latter.

 

 

Comparing Aung San Suu Kyi and to leaders like Welshman Ncube or Morgan Tsvangirai is like comparing sheep with a wolf in sheep clothing, they are all opposition leaders but whilst the former delivered democratic change the latter had the chance to do so but failed because their wolf nature got the better of them.

 

"Having suffered under the dictatorship of President Robert Mugabe for the last 35 years, your victory is a reminder to the people of Zimbabwe that people power will always prevail in the end," Ncube said.

 

Nonsense the moral of the tragic failure by MDC to implement the critical democratic reforms shows that electing an opposition against all the odd of the Zanu PF brutality was not enough we need to elect competent leaders. We need to be smart enough not to be so easily fooled by wolves in sheep’s clothing!
