SADC endorses Zimbabwe’s elections

Of all the stupid comments I have ever come accross, the silliest must be the article by Martin Mlevu which appeared in the Bulawayo24.com of 18 August 2013 tittled “Mugabe’s second ‘moment of madness'” In the article, Mr. Mlevu tries to claim that Zanu Pf’s win in Matebeleland South and some parts of Matebeleland North is inconceivable given the Gukurahundi issue and therefore the win must be because of rigging. He further doubts Zanu Pf’s win given that the whole region was in favour of Devolution and what he termed, ‘Ndebele Nationalism.’ Mr. Martin Mlevu failled to notice that the entire Matebeleland region rejected, and emphatically so, the mushroomed so called Ndebele parties in the name of Zapu and MDC led by Dumiso Dabengwa and Welshman Ncube respectively. These parties failled to get one seat, not one- in the so called Ndebele constituencies where Mlevu claims there was a huge desire for Devolution and the so called Ndebele Nationalism. Mr. Martin Mlevu also failled to notice that the Ndebele people actually opted for Shona parties – Zanu Pf and Mdc-T. That in itself shows that the so called Ndebele Nationalism exists only in Mr. Mlevu’s head and not in the minds of the Ndebele people. As for the so called Gukurahundi emotions that Mr. Mlevu so desperately tries to stir, let me say this:- Mr. Mlevu should realise that the history of Matebeleland did not start in 1983. Bigger emotions exist, of the marouding, invading, pillaging, murderous and raping Ndebele Impis coming to Zimbabwe all the way from Zululand. Oh yes, even the so called Matebeleland today has in fact Shona names used by Shona people who used to live there but had to abandon their land because of murderous Ndebele people who annexed that land which, today is called Matebeleland. There is not one Shona family without stories of cattle, brothers and sisters abducted by the Ndebeles and killed or captured to work as slave couriers of the invaders. I think that by voting for Zanu Pf, the Ndebele people have come to realise, and wisely so, that those who stay in glass houses should not throw stones. Let me give a chilling warning to those who so often want to temper with the so called Gukurahundi fabrications, that once the emotions of the Ndebele invasions of the 1800’s are ressurrected, there will be retributions far greater, far more obliterating than the so called Gukurahundi. People fail to understand that Gukurahundi was in response to the Dissident menece which sought to glorify and intitutionalise the 1800’s Ndebele slaughter of the Shona people. That had to be crushed. It was crushed. Today, no Ndebele dreamer ever thinks of the 1800’s style invasion of the Shona again. A small clique of those Ndebele who never experienced Gukurahundi in the Bulawayo city cetre who voted for MDC-T must realise that their vote for the sell out party will yield them nothing-nothing, nothing at all except being viewed as the remnant of that intransigent Ndebele clique which needs to be dealt with in future- and it will be dealt with, one way or the other!!!!!!! As for Mr. Martin Mlevu, the soil on which you move is watching, is reading your hogwash and is angry!!!! Be wear on the ides of March!!!!

What did you expect from SADC leaders most of whom also win ‘elections’ through dubious means? Mugabe and these leaders are ‘birds of the same feather’. One lady SADC panel member said they had 25 observers for the whole country and were satisfied the elections were free, fair and credible. What FICTION!!!
