Of bogus awards, regime  change crusaders

The political mega-circus season is upon us again! So Joice was in London just this week, where she had been banished because of belonging to Zanu -PF, receiving an award from a shadowy organization claiming to be authoritative in honouring virtuous women. Virtue my foot!

Shortly after Joice Mujuru was offloaded from Zanu-PF for her incompetency, insubordination and well documented allegations of corruption, she emerges a choicey champion winner of an award for exemplary leadership.

The Women Appreciating Women (WAW) did not see any achievement Mujuru made during her lengthy three and a half decade reign as a minister and vice president but only saw it during her rickety leadership of a scattering political party ZimPF which is attempting to earn itself a second resurrection under a new moniker, National People’s Party.

During her speech at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSEPS) Mujuru claimed that President Mugabe’s government does not respect private property.

Surprising on this awkward statement, Mujuru kept quiet about the said disrespect for private property during her 34 year romance with Zanu-PF and the Government of Zimbabwe only to start her charade after she had been shown the door by the party. Surely, a tale of sour grapes needs no better explanation than this.

In the days running to Mujuru’s excommunication from the revolutionary Zanu-PF party, once hidden allegations of grand theft and impunity emerged surrounding the growth of the Mujuru family vast wealth empire. It needs no sophisticated audit to come to terms with possible thieving of both private and public property to achieve such immoral wealth in one’s lifetime.

At what rate really would one be earning money using which means to be in a position to supply four tonnes of gold to the London Bullion Market at one goal? This is just gold. The family’s business empire cuts across many sectors.

Lucrative sectors of the economy! And how about the alleged mandatory 10% bribe every investor paid her for facilitating speedy business opportunities in the public and private sector? And those yet to be identified? And those never to be identified?

The timing of the WAW Lifetime Achievement Award comes at a very suspicious time.

Only after Mujuru’s departure from government which she served for a continuous 34 years, ten of which she was Vice President, the WAW saw it as opportune time to bestow such an award. This timing exposes that both WAW and the LSEPS are regime change agents and cheer leaders bent on encouraging faltering and blunder-prone opponents of Zanu-PF and the government of Zimbabwe.

Mujuru’s political trail since her announcement on joining opposition politics has exposed her lackluster leadership qualities.

Furthermore, her numbness in drilling her political landmines on the Zanu PF trail shows that instinctively the seemingly confident woman lacks any political might outside Zanu-PF; in fact all the software that activates the political Joice was left at Zanu-PF while she carried the dysfunctional political hardware Joice into the political wilderness.

What is known by even the commonest political simpleton is that these award-giving foundations are interested in strengthening waning neo-colonialism which is being destroyed by the firm hand of the Zanu-PF ideology using such stooges like Mujuru who unfortunately is not politically smart enough to stand up to the task.

Shadowy foundations swarm to Africa and the third world ahead of a major election to honour opposition figures with the expectant hope of winning the favour of opposition candidates they will be dreaming of winning an election.

This wishful thinking is dangerous to the reputation of such ill-informed foundations since most of these candidates themselves have dented political and personal credentials that do not earn them the public trust of leading them one day.

Their award trophies will only gather dust in backyard storerooms after the crushing defeat of these paper tiger politicians come Election Day. Whoever is advising Joice also needs an advisor.
