Lungu "ready to send Zambia soldiers to support Mugabe" - he must keep his nose out. W Mukori

“SADC will negotiate the way forward with Mugabe as head of state, and have also stated that the army goes back to the barracks. Meanwhile, Zambia’s President Edgar Lungu is reported in the local media there saying his troops are ready to support uphold Mugabe’s regime,” reported Zimeye.

Why am I not surprised! There is a real danger that the situation in Zimbabwe can get out of control and instead of getting rid of the incompetent, corrupt, vote rigging and murderous tyrant we have a civil unrest or worse, civil war!

Mugabe is incompetent, corrupt, etc., etc. but more notable of all he is a ruthless and cunning devil. He has managed to bribe, cheat, bamboozle, blackmail, harass, beat, rape and murder his political rivals, critics and opponents to stay one or two steps ahead, be they in the opposition, within his own party, SADC, AU or, his own favourite mimesis, the British Imperialists. The later turned a blind eye to his Gukurahundi massacre and even knighted the tyrant – they later recanted and striped the tyrant of the knighthood.

General Constantino Chiwegwa and his pose of ZDF generals are clearly no march for the cunning Mugabe. They may think they are the ones calling the shoots but they are only deluding themselves; Mugabe is clearly the one dictating the agenda now.

The first mistake the generals made was to stage a coup and then bend-over backwards to say it was not a coup. You do not deploy armoured vehicle and soldiers armed to the teeth and seize all strategic State Institutions behind the Head of State and Commander-In-Chief’s back. Boot out the said Commander-In-Chief’s presidential guard and place him under house arrest in the small hours of the morning, etc., etc. And pretend this is not a coup and publicly announce that this is not a coup.

Any one much more so the cunning Mugabe saw immediately that the coup plotters are frightened silly of him and that is why they are insisting that he is still Head of State and Commander-In-Chief. Mugabe was quick to exploit this weakness by refusing to negotiate with the pose of generals as a group but would meet with them one at a time. The general refused. It was obvious the first think Mugabe would have done was to promise each to forgive him if he would tell him who was behind the coup – divide and rule.

Chiwengwa and company told the nation Mugabe would be safe they were after the “criminals around” him. Again, another piece of nonsense because of all the criminals in Zimbabwe today, Mugabe is even more cunning than T S Elliot’s Hidden Paw Macavity!

“Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw - 
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!”

The Generals have descended on the little fish around Mugabe like a tonne of bricks. They bust into Ignatius Chombo’s home with an armoured vehicle and sprayed his house with bullets, the poor fellow soiled his pants. The generals have the upstart Zanu PF Youth leader, Kudzai Chipanga, reading his apology to General Chiwenga, for having brought up the contentious issue of the later and others in the Army’s looting in Marange, over and over again.

As for Mugabe himself, the master criminal, the generals asked him to resigned. When the tyrant said no, the generals were lost as what to do next.

Asking Mugabe to resign was a soft-landing for Mugabe, plan A. When that did not work, the generals should have turned plan B; put Mugabe on trial on treason charges. For a tyrant who has robbed the nation blind with his looting, rigged elections and murdered over 30 000 innocent people in his time in office; the pose were spoilt for choice of what treason charges to bring forward.

SADC and now even the lunatic across the Zambezi River is offering to intervine in Zimbabwe’s affairs because they all can see that our ZDF generals who stage the coup have no clue what to do and the Mugabe, under house-arrest, is calling the shots.

If Mugabe regain power, he is demanding that he must be allowed to serve the rest of his term as president, he will have one thing in mind – to punish all those involved in the coup and the public at large for having supported the plotters.

Mugabe’s thirty for absolute power and the political influence and the material wealth it has brought is unquenchable. Even after 37 years of absolute power and with him now frail from ill health and old age, his thirsty for power is still as strong as ever. He had dragged the nation into this economic hell were 90% are out of work, etc. and political chaos were his Zanu PF party is imploding and there is no viable opposition because he would not give up power. He is now plotting to take the nation even deeper into this hell just to impose his wife as the next dictator.

Mugabe should have been tried under plan B for treason with the plan to have the whole process done and dusted within days. Mugabe should have been found guilty and impeached, sentenced to death or whatever by now; the longer his case drags on the greater the danger of him dragging the country into greater instability.

It is not the survival of Robert Mugabe that is at issue here but the survival of Zimbabwe. It would be unforgivable if Zimbabwe is allowed to sink even deeper into the economic and political hell-hole Mugabe dragged the country into because the generals who staged the coup were so foolish they failed to see Mugabe for corrupt and murderous and very cunning tyrant he is.

I am surprised and disappointed that SADC leaders have not publicly reprimanded President Lungu of Zambia for offering to send that country’s army to prop up Mugabe. Everyone knows that Mugabe failed to get even one democratic reform implemented the regional leaders had called for after the 2008 rigged elections. When SADC leaders asked Zimbabwe’s 2013 elections to be postponed to allow reforms to be implemented; Mugabe refused to listen and even threatened to walk out of the regional grouping.

Mugabe went on to rig the 2013 elections and therefore he does not have the democratic mandate of the people of Zimbabwe to rule the country. Legally, Mugabe is an illegitimate head of state. SADC leaders must not tolerate any of the regional leaders stepping out of line to prop up an illegitimate, corrupt, vote rigging and murderous tyrant!


President Edgar Lungu, of all the SADC leaders your democratic record and respect of the rule of law stinks, keep your big nose out of Zimbabwe affairs!

  1. @ Mugabe

    If Ngwena was that cunning he would have never allowed himself to be used by Mugabe to wash the tyrant's dirties laundry. Ngwena's hands are red with the blood of the innocent he murdered and the stench of all the vote rigging and other dirty tricks he played to help Mugabe stay in power will follow him like his shadow to his grave!

  2. Six Zanu PF provinces are calling for Mugabe to go!

    Typical of these Zanu PF idiots, they are like branches of a willow tree, they swear one way and then the other with the slightest change of the political breeze. A week ago, the same provinces were endorsing Mugabe as the party's presidential candidate!

  3. “He (President Ian Khama of Botswana) believes the events of the past week present an opportunity to put Zimbabwe on a path to peace and prosperity,” reported Bulawayo 24.

    “NO GOING BACK.”

    Of all the SADC leaders, President Khama is the only one who has consistently refused to be hoodwinked by Robert Mugabe’s flattery and arrogance. President Khama refused to accept Mugabe claim of election victory of the July 2013 Zimbabwe elections. He wanted the results audited.

    One can only hope that Botswana’s advice will carry the day and SADC leaders wake-up to the seriousness of the chaos in Zimbabwe today and finally seize the opportunity to put an end to it all.

    “Leaders of Mugabe's party are making plans to force him from office if the 93-year-old leader resists pressure from the army to quit, a senior party source said on Friday,” continued the report.

    “The self-styled grand old man of African politics, the only leader Zimbabwe has known since independence in 1980, insists he is still in charge. But the source, a senior member of Mugabe's Zanu-PF party, made clear the party wanted him gone.

    "If he becomes stubborn, we will arrange for him to be fired on Sunday," the source said. "When that is done, it's impeachment on Tuesday."

    It is a great pity that those who staged the coup did not have plan B and have taken this long to come up with one. They should have known that Mugabe is a cunning and ruthless tyrant whose insatiable greed for absolute power knows no bounds, he would have never dragged the nation this deep into this hell-on-earth if he did.

    It was 99.999% certain that Mugabe would refuse to resign even if that meant dragging the nation even deeper into this hell-hole, even if it meant civil war and the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives. Mugabe is a man of blood, he has presided over the murder of over 30 000 already, he will not be phased by shedding even more blood!

    The coup plotters must now move swiftly and prepare for the impeachment without further delay. If they are not careful and allow Mugabe any wriggle room, the tyrant would slip through their hands and throw the nation into a bloody civil war just to regain his iron grip on power!

  4. If SADC leaders had only pushed harder and forced Tsvangirai and his MDC friend to implement the reforms the country would have been saved from all this mess now happening.

    There is talk of Mnangagwa forming a government of national unity and postpone next year's elections. The people of Zimbabwe must resist this because there is no excuse for him to do this. He has been part of this Zanu PF government all these last four years and whatever is taking place right now is an internal party matter. To extend Zanu PF's stay in power is inexcusable because the party will be rewarded for failing to prepare for elections,

    The second reason Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF friends and Tsvangirai and his MDC friends cannot be in the unity government is that they were in the 2008 to 2013 GNU that failed to implement even one reform. It is madness to say they will do so now!

    Mnangagwa can finish Mugabe's remaining 8 months as presidenr and then hold election. If the elections are not free and fair then the nation will declare the result null and void and put together a team to implement the reforms and hold fresh elections. Mnangagwa can save the nation the trouble and admit Zanu PF will not be able to hold free and fair elections; the nation will then decide what to do next and not him!

    Zanu PF and MDC must be kept out of the equation when considering implementing the democratic reforms. They were give the chance to do the work and the completely failed.

  5. President Khama ask Mugabe to resign!
    Zimbabwe needs to implement the democratic reforms to take away the excessive dictatorial powers enjoyed by Mugabe which allowed his to overstay in power with the disastrous consequences we can all see today. It is not enough to just remove him and hope that the next people will not abuse the excessive powers too. To appoint someone and hope that he/she will implement the reforms is another nonsense because as soon as the individual is in power he would be seeking to consolidate their own rule by taking full advantage of the dictatorial laws!

    Implementing the democratic reforms must be the country's number one priority because nothing of substance can ever be accomplished until this is done!
