The head of the Zimbabwe National Army, Lieutenant General Phillip Sibanda was on Wednesday reportedly heckled by soldiers from the Presidential Guard over the regime's failure to pay them top-up salaries.
And so it begins.........
ZANU-PF/Mugabe have now run out of funds to pay their soldiers! The last remaining bulwark of tyranny in Zimbabwe is starting to collapse out from under the weight of the economic calamity ZANU-PF/Mugabe have wrought on the people of Zimbabwe.
All MDC-T needs to do at this point is stall for time. Mbeki can't deliver them anything, he certainly can't do anything to further prop up the rotting ZANU-PF from his position. Despite the writing on the wall, ZANU-PF/Mugabe and his enabler, Thabo Mbeki don't have the tools or cash to revive Zimbabwe.
Mbeki will be gone in a year, the Zimbabwe Army will eventually cease to respond to their master's calls for "total empowerment", and the rank and file military will eventually see that the only solution at this time is MDC-T.
Patience, while the economic pressure builds, will deliver far greater executive power to MDC-T than any deal ZANU-PF/Mugabe concede or Thabo Mbeki can deliver.
Time is on the side of MDC-T now, ZANU-PF/Mugabe must be clutching at straws as they realize, they can no longer rely on the rank and file of the military to continue to prop them up.
I hope this story is correct. I am tired of these Zim soldiers who act as if they have no blood in their veins. What good has Mugabe done to them to the extent of killing and maiming their relatives to keep him in power. Our soldiers should have common sense. They are human too. But I think in as much as I want the report to be true, it can not be true. It can only be false. Masoja akapfuhwirwa naMugabe angove madandara.
The problem I have about the Zimbabwe issue and all the solutions they are seeking are negociated by and for the three SHONA guys(robert,morgan & arther)who all have 2ic's legit to be in the negociations for there pple from where they originate.You see what these pple are trying to do is way too hard because working out this grand agreement inside other agreement is what is complicated.
Nkisela should stop tribalising national issues. How does he know that the three political leaders are indeed Shona. Speaking Shona doesn't make one Shona. Shona is just a language. Nkisela could be Shona himself. Isn't it true that when Mzilikazi and his Khumalo people arrived in Matebeleland from Zululand in the early 1800s they found local people in the area who were Shona speakers. Nkisela could be a discendant of these Shona speakers Mzilikazi found in Matebeleland.
Soldiers and police personnel would be the biggest threat to an MDC-led government in its efforts to restore sanity in the country!
The mind of these guys have been conditioned by Mugabe cronies to live with lies, corrupt practices, indifference to the respect of the rule of law, ignorance towards public service, violence-prone, etc. They need to go through a very serious re-education programme in order to enable them to function again as normal citizens at the service of a nation than at that of a monstrous dictator!
A daunting task indeed.
What will the millions of Zimbabweans in exile do if this bunch of unprofessional guys start to gruntle against the lunatic for pecuniary gains? The least they can do to salvage the country is to deal a death blow to the monstrous illegitimate rule of the old insane monster!
