Moyo Offers 'Alibi' Amid Political Bluster

Jonathan Moyo is a known agitator within ZANU PF ranks - and he has already been thrown out of the party once for activities that Mugabe found unpalatable.

He hardly secured his independent seat before we saw him returned to the loving arms of ZANU PF - and then, over Christmas, we read of another secret meeting - this time in Gweru - with Mnangagwa and numerous others in which a new political party was the primary discussion.

Mugabe must be fuming!

"Former Information and Publicity Minister Tsholotsho North MP Professor Jonathan Moyo is struggling to refute claims that he organised a secret meeting in Gweru now dubbed Tsholotsho Part II to map out strategies for a ZANU PF break away political party to be led by the Defence Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Mnangagwa was outflanked by a rival faction led by General Solomon Mujuru in the battle to succeed veteran Robert Mugabe in ZANU PF at the last Fifth National People's Congress."

Moyo is a 'has been' and an 'also ran'. He relies on building up people's trust in him for him to achieve his objectives - and then he discards them as yesterday's news.

Labelling him a 'come-back kid' would only be correct, assuming that the latest foray is successful. Having been found out as quickly as he has, that is now in doubt.

"In a statement loaded with sharp, abusive language and the usual bile, the ZANU PF come-back-kid failed dismally to dispel the big story currently doing the rounds across the country in pubs, churches and commuter busses that he is leading an Emmerson Mnangagwa plot to form a new breakaway party from the ashes of the beleaguered former ruling party, ZANU PF.

The unemployed, former University of Zimbabwe political science lecturer denied the publication of a story by the 'Zimbabwean on Sunday' newspaper on January 10 entitled: Mnangagwa plots fight-back: talk of a new splinter group.

Moyo described the story as "fiction", merely by virtue of his creative defensive work of sexed up alibi. But, last night a new source said Moyo had actually revealed another venue of the plots where another secret meetings was carried out in a boat in Kariba. The source said Moyo had this low level meeting with staff who will man the Cape Town office. It is believed he took them in a step by step induction training course before they left for South Africa."

I say again - Moyo does not represent the people or ZANU PF. He is only interested in himself and whatever riches he can accrue.

Aligning himself with Emmerson Mnangagwa, one of the richest people in Africa, he places himself within arm's length of his objective.

"In his aggressive statement send to his mouth-piece, Moyo said, "the desperately false claim that I attended a political meeting of any kind in Gweru on December 25, 2009 or that I was anywhere in or near Gweru on Christmas day to mastermind a so-called Tsholotsho Part II strategy with some unnamed people who allegedly included Cdes Emmerson Mnangagwa, July Moyo, Flora Buka, Fred Kanzama and Mike Madiro is a terribly fictitious and astonishingly idiotic tale told by wretched MDC T idiots who are now running scared of the oblivion facing their treacherous party on the back of ZANU PF’s apparent resurgence."

"If these idiots and their equally idiotic British handlers cared to check facts and build their propaganda on some truth, something they are apparently incapable of doing because of their breathtaking incompetence, they would have known that from December 24 to December 27 last year I was actually in beautiful Kariba enjoying true Zimbabwean hospitality at Christmas with my family at Caribbea Bay.”

"This is a fact known to staff at that hotel and by many other families, some of them well known personalities, who also were guests at the hotel," said Mr Moyo in a desparate ettempt to make up an alibi after learning that he will soon be called to explain himself in front of the Presidium.

"Only idiots can believe and claim that I was in Gweru and in Kariba at exactly one and the same time because that proposition is plainly idiotic!"

And the MDC did not escape comment either: "Just because some MDC-T idiots could not have Christmas with their families because of their sell-out commitments does not mean we are all that depraved," said "Cde" Moyo raising the bar on hot air.

"Surely, they should have chosen a better day for their fictitious rubbish than Christmas day!"

Amazing that Moyo can call everyone else idiots - but try call him one...
