My Dear People
It is that time of the year that we have become inundated with slogans and messages, ad nauseam, of the harmful impact of sanctions on the country.
The day against sanctions is commemorated every year on October 25, a initiative by that toothless regional body called Sadc.
The regional body is a classic study in the world of double standards.
It howls from the mountain tops about the need for the United States to remove sanctions on Zimbabwe but remains mum about the poor souls who were shot by soldiers in August 2018 in the aftermath of harmonised elections and the recommendations by the commission set up by Ngwena to bring the culprits to book, which the regime has continued to ignore.
The same body can find its voice to scream itself hoarse about the impact of sanctions but suddenly lose the same voice when opposition politicians and activists are tortured and jailed by the regime.
Worse still this useless regional body find the time to bark about the need to remove sanctions but did not bat an eyelid when Gushungo was removed disgracefully as a result of an illegal coup.
In any case the challenges affecting the country are mainly caused by the sickening levels of corruption, some of which is exposed by the auditor general year in year out with very little action taken to address the shameful levels of graft in the various ministries and government departments.

It is preposterous to bellow about the adverse impact of sanctions when the Auditor General reveals that more than US$500 million cannot be accounted for.
It is lunacy to blame sanctions for the country’s ills when the Ngwena regime can splurge millions of dollars to purchase state of the art vehicles and build VVIP lounges at the airport at a time wheelbarrows are being used as makeshift ambulances with public hospitals becoming death traps as a result of an acute shortage of basic necessities such as medicine and bandages.
This is why there is no buy in from the country’s citizens as evidenced by the pitiful crowds that attend these anti-sanctions events.
Munopengaaa!!!!
The Zanu PF conference, which was held in Mutare, was as usual, a case of all froth and no beer.
Most of the resolutions which were presented at the conference will gather dust in the shelves except of course that resolution calling for the regime to find ways of extending the impoverished leadership of Ngwena from the constitutional limit of 2028 to 2030.
Among some of the laughable resolutions made at the yearly talkfest was the one to make Munhumutapa Day, which is conveniently on the birthday of the Scarfed One, an annual holiday.
As if it is not bad enough to try and equate the success enjoyed by the Munhumutapa empire to the poverty, joblessness and chaos wrought by the regime of the Scarfed One, to make the day a holiday is an insult to the country’s citizens who have borne the brunt of scorched earth policies of the Ngwena regime that include high inflation, massive job losses, power outages and currency volatility.
This resolution clearly shows the childish obsession for the country to have a holiday when they celebrate Ngwena just as the country has a holiday in February to mark the birth of Gushungo, the revolutionary icon and one of the best leaders this continent has ever had and will ever have.
If anything the conference just exposed the rift between Generari and the Scarfed One in the fight for power and the desperation to have snouts firmly entrenched in the gravy train.
Munopengaaa!!
The sham of the current hearings by the chief over the Gukurahundi period during which an estimated 20 000 people in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces perished to state sponsored violence has turned into a circus.
A process which was supposed to address the wounds of that terrible period has been belittled into nothing more than a public relations exercise in which the regime is seen to be doing something about without really doing anything at all.
To have the regime loudmouth and former nurse Nicky blaring out figures of those who have appeared before chiefs with no details of what they shared is a mockery to the whole process.
Given that Nicky has no compunction over lying that some regime sponsored bozo is the Australian prime minister, the figures he has spewed need to be taken with a pinch of salt.
The fact that the hearing are being held by chiefs who are the frequent recipients of various trinkets from the Ngwena regime only adds doubt to the authenticity and sincerity of the hearings.
Where the hell is the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission in such a process?
If they cannot be involved in such a process then what are they there for?
Surely a whole commission cannot be set upon just to make bland statements about national reconciliation and peace particularly at the expense of taxpayers’ money.
This is a new low even for this dispensation of poverty, darkness and despair!!
