President Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF junta rigged the 30 July 2018 elections and the regime is, per se, illegitimate and it is for this reason and no other that the regime must step down.
Zimbabwe is in this economic and political mess because the nation has been stuck for the last 38 years with a corrupt and incompetent Zanu PF regime that rigged the elections to stay in power. The party has justified the blatant vote-rigging and even the use of wanton violence to stay in power on the grounds only Zanu PF would retain the country’s independence and sovereignty.
Unemployment has soared to dizzying heights of 90%, the country is in the middle of cholera outbreak because there is no clean running water and yet the regime has been wasting millions of dollars of new cars, chartered planes, etc.
Zimbabwe’s meltdown is economically, socially, politically and morally unjustified and unsustainable. While the country remains under the Zanu PF dictatorship there is no hope of any meaningful economic recovery because no investors and lenders would ever want to do business in a country where corruption and lawlessness are the norms.
By rigging the recent elections President Mnangagwa confirmed that Zimbabwe was still a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs. For the country to have a meaningful economic recovery it is imperative that the country ends pariah state and hence the need for the vote rigging regime to resign.
38 years ago, Mnangagwa 37 years old, 3 years younger that Chamisa today, and so too were many of the Zanu PF thugs; that did not stop them terrorising the nation and destroying the nation’s economy.
A reformed and democratic Zimbabwe will allow freedom of expression and healthy debate and competition. The electorate must then elect future leaders from the ideas they have offered and not on their liberation war credential, age, tribe, etc.
