On 3 March 2016 President Mugabe
admitted that the nation had lost $15 billion worth of Marange diamonds because
of the looting and plunder in Marange and Chiadzwa.
“This kind of plunder must immediately make Zimbabwe pass a vote of no confidence in Mugabe and his government,” wrote Ken Yamamoto in his latest article.
“If this theft does not cause Zimbabweans to demand that he resign, then nothing else will. In that case, going forward, Zimbabweans must just be left to their own devices and the donors currently feeding the population must just take their efforts to other countries. The country cannot be helped. And no more of this nonsense that Zimbabweans are the most literate people in Africa.”
Well Zimbabweans have hardly noticed the grand theft; it went in one ear and out the other!

We are in this mess because
President Mugabe has rigged elections; we have the opportunity to stop the vote
rigging and yet we continue to do nothing about implementing the reforms! We
are halfway through the five years to the next elections and still nothing has
been done to ensure the next elections are free, fair and credible; not a single
thing. It is worrying because it shows we have learnt nothing from the rigged 2013
elections!
Ken is right; the international community is
getting sick and tired of helping Zimbabweans ease their suffering when we are
doing nothing to help ourselves end the criminal waste of resources behind our
suffering!
Jabulani Sibanda vows to force President Mugabe out of offices.
ReplyDeleteIt is not for Jabulani Sibanda or anyone of us to decide who should rule Zimbabwe; it is for the peo-ple of this country to decide that in a free, fair and credible elections. Sibanda is a political thug who was used for years by the regime to deny the people a meaningful vote; he is now big headed to think he can extend his undemocratic powers to forcing President Mugabe out of office.
Sibanda, you nincompoop, the only thing this nation want you and your fellow thugs to do from now on is desist from all your past activities of harassing, beating, raping and worse. We want free, fair and credible elections and you have done enough to deny the nation that!
ReplyDeleteSolomon Madzore, you, your PDP president Biti and the rest of the MDC leaders you are just good at jumping on to the bandwagon but have done nothing of note even when you had the power and opportunity to do so. You telling us the $15 billion looted from Marange is the tip of the iceberg.
“The revelations by Robert Mugabe that Zimbabwe lost a whopping US$15 billion worth of diamonds from Chiadzwa in the 7 or so years of operations confirm what then Minister of Finance and current President of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) said on several occasions, that Chiadzwa was being looted,” you say.
Your PDP president was Minister of Finance during the GNU, he was aware of the looting; so besides talking about it “on several occasions” he has done nothing to ensure it stopped.
Biti and the rest of the MDC leaders were tasked to implement the GPA reforms to ensure the 2013 elections were free and fair; they did not get even one reform implemented. You PDP president was busy singing Mugabe praises calling the murderous tyrant the “unflappable father of the nation”. We are in this s***t because people like Biti, Tsvangirai,
Ncube, etc. sold-out and idiots like you Madzore continues to follow these sell-outs blindly like sheep.
"Solomon Madzore PDP Organizing Secretary" Right! You are just an idiot with a fancy job title!
We, Zimbabweans are our own worst enemy when it comes to the political and economic hell we now find ourselves in. This is a man-made hell-on-earth and we have allowed Mugabe to drag us into this hell by granting absolute power over our lives. Even now when the nation is in a serious mess we still continue to treat the looting of $15 billion of national treasure as if it is nothing.
ReplyDeleteThe regime has just confirmed that 4 million, up from 3 million given before, Zimbabweans are facing starvation this year. How can we expect the international community to help when the na-tion has just admitted to wasting $ 15 billion on corruption and does not seem to care about it! It is all water off a duck’s back!

ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that millions are suffering in abject poverty and the ruling elite are robbing the nation blind in broad daylight and the millions, who are the victims, are so stupid they say nothing! Hundreds if not thousands are going to die of starvation in the next few months, they will die without saying a word in protest; President Mugabe calls it resilience but I say is down right stupidity!
