My Dear People
Over three years ago I took time off my busy schedule to address those infamous interface rallies across the country to warn you about Ngwena’s impending coup.
Most of you thought I was going crazy or that I wanted to position myself to succeed the legendary Gushungo.
Despite claims that Zimbabwe is the most educated nation in Africa, your reading of local politics leaves a lot to be desired.
This is why Gushungo ruled you for nearly four decades and those cowards had to wait until his last days on earth to stage a coup against him.
If you were politically literate, you would have taken those rallies I organised with my G40 boys more seriously.
Now that Ngwena has been ruling you for the past three years, which of my warnings have not come to pass?
Has the Lacoste godfather not shown you that he has a weakness for the fairer sex?

- Pension funds bet on Cabora Bassa oilfields
- Councils defy govt fire tender directive

Have you not seen how much he loves money?
Has he not shown you that he can’t fill Gushungo’s big shoes?
I can go on and on, but my point is that the red flags were there when you were all hugging soldiers on the streets of Harare thinking they cared about you.
Judging a man by company he keeps
Ngwena has been consistent from the time he came back from Mozambique pretending to be the Bobstar’s most loyal sidekick.
Those who still doubt my assessment of his character should check the background of the man he plucked from the wilderness to be his top diplomat last week.
Don’t they say a man is judged by the company he keeps?
After being appointed into Gushungo’s first Cabinet as one of the youngest ministers in 1980, it didn’t take Fredrick Shava too long before he started showing his true colours.
He was one of the Zanu PF ministers that were quick to tear the party’s leadership code into shreds by accumulating wealth through hook and crook.
Bemused High Court judges that handled the Willowgate scandal remarked that Shava behaved like a car dealer after he abused a government scheme to buy a vehicle that he resold to make over 200% profit.
As if that was not enough, he lied about the whole scheme and was convicted for perjury.
Being the good man that he was, Gushungo immediately gave him a get out of jail card with a pardon.
But this did not stop Shava from betraying the Bobstar as he went on to connive with his clansman in the power grab years later.
On February 3 1983, Shava boisterously told Parliament that “I will repeat, supporters of dissidents (euphemism for Ndebeles), once identified, I contend must be shot on sight…’”
We all know what happened in Matabeleland and Midlands after those inflammatory statements.
We also know who the State Security minister was at the time when innocent villagers were shot to death in cold blood for supporting the opposition while others disappeared without trace.
Yet some of you still think the August 1, 2018 “45 degrees shootings” and January 2019 killings of protesters were all mistakes.
You all got carried away when the coup DJ told you they were removing criminals around the president.
If you thought Dread Patrick and his fellow G40 gangsters were bad, then you now know what criminals around a president look like.
Where is Madam Khupe?
So Ngwena’s pet project, the so-called Polad, met for the first time this year on Friday and Sister Thokozani Khupe was conspicuous by her absence.
In Ndebele they have a saying that goes Ubukhosi ngamazolo, which means kingship/leadership is like morning dew on African grass.
In other words, some privileges like being gifted a political party, councillors and legislators that defeated you in an election only some months ago can never last forever.
Just two years ago Khupe was feeding fish at Ngwena’s farm and strutting like a peacock on borrowed robes as she made the beeline for the feeding trough that is Polad.
It didn’t last long though and now she can only watch the wily Dougie reaping the benefits of all her hard work entertaining the Lacoste gangsters.
It turned out Dougie was also too shy to join the Polad circus on Friday probably because of the MDC Alliance trolls, who keep reminding him on social media that he is a Zanu PF project.
At this point it’s too late for the man, who claims to be protecting Morgan Tsvangirai’s legacy, to pretend to be opposing Zanu PF.
Ngwena on Friday excitedly described MDC-T as patriotic and the official opposition in Zimbabwe.
It was the proverbial kiss of death. The Zanu PF tag will never go away for the MDC-T.
Mwonzora should ask MDC-T lawyer Lovemore Madhuku how the Lacoste gang turns once-vibrant opposition politicians into zombies after luring them with a few crumbs during useless Polad meetings.
Who can still recognise Madhuku as that once non-compromising government critic?
The Madhuku, who gave the legendary Gushungo sleepless nights during the 1999 constitution-making process? After embracing Lacoste, he has been reduced to competing with Simon Khaya Moyo and the erratic Patrick “Bin Man” Chinamasa as a Zanu PF mouthpiece.
How sad!
The Mliswa show goes on
It was another week of the free Temba Mliswa comedy show.
The maverick MP from Norton, who sometimes gets confused on whether he is independent or Zanu PF, invited journalists to his Borrowdale home to abuse them for reporting about his ugly fallout with his estranged lover Susan Mutami.
This one is a proper battle of attention seekers!
Mliswa threatened to influence the ruling Zanu PF to use its two-thirds majority in Parliament to enact a harsh law that would impose a five-year custodial sentence for unethical journalists.
In anger, he told us what we have already known: that he is more comfortable working with Zanu PF to make our lives more miserable.
Did he not join them when they were looting the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe through the farm mechanisation programme?
And Susan’s disclosures about his alleged presidential ambitions and the bute fiasco! Those are tales associated with Zanu PF politicians.
At the press conference he just went overboard throwing tantrums.
His handlers could not stomach his kindergarten games anymore and they sent a band of police officers to arrest him in front of the journalists.
