COSATU should desist from causing chaos in Zimbabwe, a country renowned for its peaceful culture. It should attend to its constituency’s grievances. Its energies should be expended on the vagaries of white capital accumulated under apartheid South Africa.
“We are on the side of people of Zimbabwe, never be governed by fear. The people always win like you did in 1980. Victory is certain,” tweeted Julius Malema, leader of a South African opposition party Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) last week.
He was saying this in light of recent isolated skirmishes witnessed in Zimbabwe. Indeed people always win like what Zimbabweans did in 1980. The majority of Zimbabweans did not participate in the recent machinations calculated to destabilise the country under the authors of the regime change agenda who were defeated in 1980.
Yes, the majority of Zimbabweans ignored regime change agents’ attempts to subvert a constitutionally elected Government as more than 90 percent of Zimbabweans are not part to the malcontents’ nefarious agenda.
So, the majority of Zimbabweans will win against all evils being planned in some Western capitals against the country. That one is as certain as the sun will rise from the east tomorrow.
The majority of Zimbabweans, not the misguided minority elements who are being used as tools by the country’s enemies in their continued attempts to reverse the gains of the hard won independence, are not idiots. Probably agents of regime change agenda rejoiced at Malema’s statement, mistakenly believing that he was now part of their regime change agenda in Zimbabwe.
The majority of peace loving Zimbabweans were shocked after the Congress of South Africa Trade Unions (COSATU)’s International Relations Secretary, one Bongani Masuku said: “COSATU urges people of Zimbabwe to continue with the struggle and not to watch idly while the government tramples upon the rights of workers and ordinary citizens . . . such coordinated mass action is the only language that unresponsive regimes understand”.
This irresponsible statement was made after COSATU had held a meeting with leaders of the regime change agenda affiliate, the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) on July 13, 2016.
COSATU should desist from causing chaos in Zimbabwe, a country renowned for its peaceful culture. It should attend to its constituency’s grievances. Its energies should be expended on the vagaries of white capital accumulated under apartheid South Africa. It is not a secret that after more than 20 years of independence, there are still no-go areas for blacks in South Africa. Ninety-six percent of the means of production are still in the hands of the minority whites. Blacks have no access to their ancestral lands stolen from them by apartheid regimes. Zimbabweans may be facing economic hardships mainly as a result of illegal economic sanctions imposed on the country by the West and falling commodity prices on the international markets, but they are empowered as they got their hard fought for land back.
COSATU may have been irked by the recently enacted Zimbabwe’s Statutory Instrument 64 of 2016 which seeks to regulate imports of selected products. Importing goods and services is the same as exporting labour; so it is understandable that COSATU is worried that if South African exports to Zimbabwe are reduced then the labour market in South Africa will feel the heat. However, the Zimbabwe Government has got a responsibility to protect the country’s industries in order to generate more employment for its citizens.
COSATU should not rejoice when people loot and burn warehouses like what happened in Beitbridge. If South Africans are encouraging such lawlessness then one cannot be blamed for concluding that they are part and parcel of the third force causing the current problems in Zimbabwe.
The African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa condemned the disturbances perpetrated in Zimbabwe and correctly attributed them to agents of the regime change agenda, yet its affiliate, COSATU, chose to act in the opposite. What a shame! COSATU, and all like-minded South Africans should stop meddling in Zimbabwe’s domestic affairs.
The majority of Zimbabweans are not fools or puppets. They are very educated and enlightened. They are not blind, hence they can easily see through the machinations of their enemies. They cannot be influenced to burn their country in pursuit of the regime change agenda which is being orchestrated by their yesteryear colonial masters. The few misguided Zimbabweans should desist from selling out their country for a few pieces of silver. Zimbabwe is their only true home; hence, they should all guard it jealously against the enemy’s evil schemes.
Zimbabweans, together as one, they will conjure all the colonial vampire’s evil plans against this beloved country.
COMMENTS
ZIMBABWE IS NOT RENOWNED FOR ANY PEACEFUL CULTURE EXCEPT THAT THE PPL MADE A CHOICE AFTER INDEPENDENCE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO RUN THEIR POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN A CIVILISED MANNER, UNFORTUNATELY, MUSHOWE, CHOMBO AND LIKE-MINDED ZOMBIES MISTOOK IT FOR DOCILITY. SOORY GUYS, YOUR TIME IS UP, ISU TAJAMUKA ZIMBABWE YOSE, YOU GUYS ARE LYING TO THE WORLD BECAUSE NOBODY BELIEVES IN MUSHOWE, MUGABE, CHOMBO AND ALL THE OTHER ROTTEN LOT. WE ARE FED UP WITH YOUR LIES, ZIMBABWE DOES NOT BELONG TO ANY ONE OF YOU. YOU HAVE FAILED DISMALLY
Mr Author, if you think Zimbabweans as still as dumb as before you are lying to yourself. Zimbabwe is collapsing because of mismanagement and not sanctions. Diamonds where discovered in the country and the proceeds disappeared without benefiting an ordinary citizen in the street. The sanctions did not take the diamonds proceeds but the corrupt government ministers did. The government is now talking of borrowing money to pay IMF yet the diamonds proceeds should have been used to pays our debts. Where do sanctions fit in there? You can only lie to your ignoramus audience and not to all of us. Zimbabweans are a peace loving nation but you have taken us for granted for a long time. Support from Malema is not reckless but sense coming back to him after realisation that he was supporting an evil regime that kills it’s own people.
I am tired of hearing these sentiments form zombies of ZANU pf. Who do you think we are ? Now it’s time to burn down every structure of a looter. We will rebuild a free corrupt economy away with this rot.
Mr author sir/madam, you are quite aware that a hash situation has already been brewed in the country against peace loving people by way of economic mismanagement (diamond). If your hungry baby cries for food and you start telling stories that wont solve the child’s hunger. There gonna be more noise as long as there is no food in the plate. So attacking malema attacking cosatu attacking the west is like you think people of zimbabwe can’t think but you. You are an educated figure who shoul demonstrate diplomacy at highest level. Your message is more like protecting your lunchbox from hungry children. Listen to what mzembi is saying, ”…umblical relationship with south africa…” we gain a lot from our south african and neighbours and the west. Ndosaka kuzova nana tajamuka/sijikile nezvimwe zvakadaro. Musangopopota chete but itaika tigokutendai nekutungamira zvinenjere. Musatuka cosatu. Zvitukei imi!
The vampires referred to by the Herald in this case are –
* the state looters headed by the Chief Looter ( Mugabe) and his coterie of thieves who comprises his Government;
* the thieves who borrowed money from international financial institutions, looted the loan resources and never repaid the loans – now claiming that refusal of further loans is based on sanctions; and
* the ignorant government who has destroyed what was left of the economy of Zimbabwe.
Excuses must be found for the mess made by the Government and election fraud will not help in this case – so back to the mythical vague regime change programmes of foreign elements. What a farce the Herald manage to come up with all the time. Those whom th gods wish to destroy – they drive mad and no institution is maddr than the Mugabe government.
