Mugabe Incites Followers To Grab Zimbabwe's Wealth...

So - here we have it. Mugabe-ites have seized the commercial farms from the productive sector and very few of these produce anything or are even worked, and he has set the stage for the forcible takeover of foreign and white-owned companies in the country, and now he is inciting his party faithful to grab whatever they can as part of the indigenisation programme.

I have always said that it would be the farms, the companies and then the residences. I wasn't far off...

"Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has urged his supporters to grab the country's wealth in line with the government's discredited indigenisation law and regulations, reports Zimbabwe's State media.

Mugabe said empowerment was the only way through which Zimbabwe could realise meaningful economic development. The empowerment process has only benefited ZANU PF members and those who don't support the party have been haunted into exile or sent to prison on trumped up charges.

He added that Zimbabweans, like the people of any other nation, had the right to determine their destiny without external interference as spelt out by the United Nations Charter.

He said people should have the intellectual freedom to control their resources, adding that the liberation struggle was fought to bring democracy."

Mugabe would prefer violence and anarchy to democracy and freedom.

He and his party know little else than violence and intimidation and so, to pacify those who he has champing at the bit, he lets them loose on the property of the population, regardless of who they are or who they represent. One would assume that ZANU PF property is off limits...

And whilst ZANU PF members, supporters and followers have somehow been excused the crime of murder, then the robbery and theft that will follow will also be excused.

"Mugabe called on churches to continue supporting the empowerment agenda, pointing to the way God led the children of Israel to self-determination in the Bible.

He was addressing mourners at the burial of his brother-in-law, Bonny Brian Gumbochuma, at Kachere Farm in Concession on Tuesday.

Gumbochuma died on Saturday morning at his farm after suffering a stroke in 2004. He was 57."

I am surprised that Mugabe didn't declare him a national hero and have him buried by the ZANU PF Burial Society at the 'national' shrine in Harare.

I looked to see if I could get a translation for Mugabe's vernacular statement, but the web is not willing to help me today. I wonder if there is someone out there that might be able to do the honours for me, please?

An anathema, an oxymoron - fighting for peace...

And while Mugabe is inciting his followers to take whatever they want from whoever they please, we have one of his minions telling us that ZANU PF will never hand power to the MDC.

So why bother with elections? If the MDC wins - just like they did in March 2008 - Mugabe and his lot are going to hang on to power for all that they are worth...

"ZANU PF National Chairman Simon Khaya Moyo said ZANU PF will never handover power to a non revolutionary party.

"We are a revolutionary party and any other party which thinks will rule this country is day dreaming. We will not relinquish power to any other party other than ZANU PF," Khaya Moyo told a ZANU PF meeting at Mary Mount Teachers’ College in Mutare at the weekend.

ZANU PF is using soldiers to bar MDC rallies in Manicaland and the servicemen are also directing chiefs and other traditional leaders to block MDC rallies.

Last week villagers in Nyanga said Headmen and Chiefs were forced by soldiers to gather at Nyamasara secondary school in Nyanga where they were told to not to allow the legislator for the area Douglas Mwonzora to organise any meeting any more."

If ZANU PF never had any intention to hand over power, even when they lost the election - an indication of the popular support for the MDC in the country - then why on earth do we have to go through the signing of 'agreements', the 'mediation', the setting up of the coalition and the last two years of absolute lunacy which leaves the country in a worse position than when it started?

If ZANU PF have no intention of handing over power - which right now is held by them against the popular mandate - then why waste all of our time, energies and resources?

Zimbabwe truly is a dictatorship, contrary to the claims by Mugabe.

"There are fears that the country will soon drift back into 2008 pre-election violence after Mugabe indicated earlier in the week that elections could follow immediately after the expiry of the Global Political Agreement."

From what Mugabe had to say at the funeral of a family member that violence is set to begin imminently.
