REV MUFARO S HOVE'S COMMENTS ON MBEKI AND SADC'S POSITION ON THE ZIMBABWE CRISIS!

Well, Mr Thabo Mbeki, The State President of South Africa has issued a lengthy statement (LINK) where he has shown the whole world where he and SADC stand as far as the Zimbabwean Crisis is concerned.

Firstly, that the Elections were heavily rigged LINK!!! is not an issue at all!

Secondly, that thousands of MDC members were physically assasulted and hundreds others murdered by State Agents LINK!!! is similarly not an issue at all! Refer also LINK!!!

Thirdly, the fact that Robert Mugabe and ZANU-PF were discarded by the Electorate BEFORE (NB BEFORE) the Infamous Land Invasions is not a material matter at all to Mbeki and SADC!

Fourthly, the fact that Mr Mugabe has presided over the very ZANU-PF for over 27 years without allowing the very ZANU-PF a chance to elect or re-elect him by the democratic Secret Ballot is completely irrelevant to Mr Thabo Mbeki and the various SADC "Excellencies."

Fifthly, the fact that Mugabe was clearly rejected by the Electorate in the controversial 2002 Presidential Election is not part of substance as far as Thabo Mbeki and SADC are concerned!

Knowing Mr Mugabe as we do, he would have excitedly gone through Tsvangirai's Election Petitions without any delay if he was sure he had won them by any margin!

His only statement at the moment is: "That Election Petition is 'frivolous' and 'vexatious'." What exactly does that mean???

We who were part of the rigging machinery know why and how those Elections were rigged!

I, Rev Mufaro Stig Hove, can give a delailed report of how WE (repeat) WE rigged those Elections.

This brings us to the question of the way forward as far as the Zimbabwean crisis is concerned.

Of major concern is for the "Opposition Forces" to clearly define themselves.

1. What exactly is it that they are opposing? Is it Robert Mugabe as a person meaning therefore that he must go at all costs regardless of the hurdles that continue to mount including the clear message from Thabo Mbeki and SADC? Please make that absolutely clear so that we who have vowed to support the Democratic Forces can see how we can go forward in support.

2.Can there be some National Vision which accommodates ZANU-PF and Robert Mugabe? I, personally, know that Robert Mugabe's very survival depends on his remaining in that Office (even illegitimately as he is doing at the moment.)

So he has intelligently intertwined his fate with that of millions to completely confuse the original issues.

Some of us need to hear what the general position of the Democratic Forces is.

The whole nation is on its knees!

I shouldn't describe the situation on the ground because any serious person knows that there is no economy to talk about in Zimbabwe at the moment!

The talk by President Mwanawasa that the problems of Zimbabwe are being exaggerated must be swiftly dismissed as coming from a timid lunatic who cannot stand his ground on his earlier statement that Zimbabwe was a sinking Titanic!

Mbeki's hope that SADC on its own can rescue Zimbabwe is irresponsible rubbish!

Even mighty South Africa can never close all outside doors and depend on its SADC neighbours only! Mbeki thinks their position as SADC is the only "Revolutionary and African" position and all others are mere "sell-outs" etc.

The heavy challenge on the shoulders of the Decratic Forces is to clearly and swiftly dissociate themselves from that dangerous perpective.

Of course its said 'Politics is a dirty game' but don't relax when powerful leaders join the despicably evil Robert Mugabe in propagating that stinking propaganda.

The tragedy of the Democratic Forces is that they do not seek the help of serious patriots to assist in the "clearing of the air" as far as their position is concerned.

The Democratic Forces have continued doing a pilgrimage to a clear crook like Thabo Mbeki!

What does Mbeki not know about the evils of Robert Mugabe? Refer to my article "Thabo Mbeki's proverbisal long rope!" LINK!!!

Mbeki wants us to believe that South Africa will not play the "big brother" yet he completely ignores the cries of the very Zimbabweans when they describes issues that are not related to the land issue!

When did Zimbabweans complain about Mugabe encouraging "corruption" among his "chosen few"?

Please kindly read my APPEAL TO ALL JOURNALISTS AND WRITERS! LINK!.

I swear by the Living God that if Mugabe gets the proverbial "last laugh", Tsvangirai etc will spend their lives in exile until that 83 year old demagogue passes away!

But the consolation is that there is no serious investor that can take any investment to Zimbabwe while Mugabe is anywhere near corridors of power!

Thabo Mbeki is a depicable crook if he wants us to think that there is an investor (except himself) who can take anything to Zimbabwe even if Mugabe won a "free and fair" Election next year.

Even if Tsvangirai went round seeking the world to support the new Mugabe Regime (if there is one in 2008), no sane investor would go to Zimbabwe with anything.

The real tragedy of Zimbabwe is that Robert Mugabe will cling to power at all costs and all black leaders will have to support him or else risk being labelled "sell-outs."

So Thabo and company think, they will label us "sell-outs" and it will stick?

No, you are mentally unwell Thabo son of Govan, if you think sending "millions of rands" to Mugabe is a permanent solution to the Zim crisis.

You will stand by Robert Mugabe through "thick and thin", that's your decision!

But you will go down in History as having blundered using tax-payer's funds to prop up a despicably evil dictator we, the humble people of Zimbabwe were trying at all costs to remove.

Do you honestly think that I, Rev Mufaro Stig Hove, a black man would refuse 3000 heactres of free prepared land and a farmhouse etc.?

Would I refuse to be part of ZANU-PF and get all the benefits eg businesses seized from white owners etc.?

So am I "sell-out" because I say Mugabe has assassinated all his contemporaries since before Independence?

Am I a "sell-out" because I say Mugabe, Munangagwa etc got unfair benefit from the mineral resources in the DRC?

Am I a "sell-out" because I say Mugabe is a dictator who has nver allowed even a simple secret ballot even in the private Politburo Meetings?

Mr Mbeki do you not know or you do not want to know?

Even if the Economy of Zimbabwe were returned to a "zero" inflation and there was prosperity such that there is a 100% employment etc., the truth is that Robert Mugabe is still an evil Devil that must go (and you Mr Thabo Mbeki know it very well as well.)

WHO ARE YOU FOOLING?

WHO IS FOOLING-A WHO???

TIME WILL TELL!

Lets keep in touch CDE President.

Yours in the true struggle for a Free Zimbabwe,

Mufaro Stig Hove.....Rev.

MDC in danger of missing the freedom train!!

I HAVE read with interest the postulations made by Lloyd Msipa about setting a new agenda for Zimbabwe.

No-one would deny that such a new beginning is now or never. The only question we should ask ourselves is: how do we set the new agenda and for who?

For me the question is not about Morgan Tsvangirai's failures only, but the failure of the opposition as a bloc. It is regrettable that both MDC factions have tended to seek comfort in newly created terminology such as MDC formations while forgetting that whatever they are called, the fact still remains that the unity that once lit the hearts of many suffering Zimbabweans is no more and the culprits are the leaders of the MDC.

They individually and variously opted for self glory more than national interest. They paddled on personalising the struggle and making decisions on behalf of the people whose negative effects are predictably so fatal that even a grade one pupil would not dare make.

I disagree with Lloyd's argument that Tsvangirai is the only person or leader who has outlived his usefulness in the struggle for democracy. For me, both the MDCs have betrayed the people and they know it. The current wave of insults being exchanged is a clear testimony of how the opposition has stooped so low as to regard public platforms as a launch pad for attacking each other instead of concentrating on bread and butter issues.

Witness how they draw comfort from being identified in such terminology as “main MDC”, “main wing”, “smaller faction”, “Tsvangirai MDC”, “Mutambara MDC” as if any of that nonsense will end Mugabe’s misrule. What has opposition politics become? A place of employment for the unemployed and unemployable?

The problem with Zimbabwean politics is that it centred on political parties only and hence the personalisation of power by leaders of the opposition. It is this personalisation that brings about idolisation and monopolisation of power – which is exactly what we seek to escape from.

The current wave of personalised attacks clearly point to a failed opposition that needs alienation. By alienating them, we give them enough space to remove the speck in their eyes and begin to see the reality on the ground -- that personal egos no longer have space in Zimbabwe and that people need deliverance from evil. And now!

The MDC must be made to begin to see that neither of them can walk alone. Zimbabweans must show their bravery and begin to have the guts to castigate the MDC left, right and centre for the benefit of many. Civic society and other brave Zimbabweans can bring about democracy in Zimbabwe.

How can both factions claim that they will continue the Thabo Mbeki mediation as a united front when they have failed to unite back home? Charity begins at home. Such political sentimentalism chastises them and reflects how they are both playing with people's minds, and lives.

It is an assumed belief that they have monopoly over us and hence they hold the only key to our salvation. But the truth is no one has monopoly over liberating a country from dictatorship. Only the people enjoy that monopoly, and the MDC is fast expending the people’s goodwill.

By beginning actions that alienate the MDC, and yet people oriented, we can begin to see the emergence of a unified progressive force in Zimbabwe. My prediction is that if the MDC is alienated, then one day they will wake up from their slumber and realise that the train is already getting to its final destination without them, and hence the need to join others and not the other way round.

Both the MDC factions are wrong and they must be castigated for continuously letting down the people. At the beginning of 2007, both factions pledged to work together and to deliver the people of Zimbabwe from dictatorship. Eight months down the line, nothing has happened except the deepening crisis.

By the end of 2007, we shall judge them, and like what they said, if they fail to do something positive, then we should throw them into the dustbins of history and proclaim the emergence of a people's movement not based on personalities but on a new agenda and national interest.

As sure as the sun will rise and set tomorrow, the people shall govern!
