There is little doubt that Zimbabwe's three-month old inclusive Government is hamstrung in a bare-knuckles contest for power and control.

Watidama;
Who should be blamed if one fails because somebody is following behind and destroying whatever one is building? Tsvangirai and Biti called and campaigned for sanctions that Dr Gono was fighting against. MDC single handedly made sure that all the plans, policies and strategies that Dr Gono, on behalf of government, adopted and put in place did not succeed.
Who then should be blamed for “killing” not only the economy but the people of Zimbabwe as well? MDC should be held responsible for our failure to move forward for the past 10 years.
As Dr Gono outlined and rightly put it, and I hasten to add; those who called for sanctions, those who helped draft ZDERA and lobbied the American Congress and those who sold out to imperialists should be held solely responsible for the condition of our economy and the plight of the people of Zimbabwe today.
Watidama - whilst I agree fully with you that Gono should be sacked for being simply incompetent; I must disagree with that the push to get rid of him has nothing to do with politics. In fact Gono is crucial to the very existence of zanu-pf whilst the GNU is in existence.
For the past 29 years, the Zimbabwean taxpayer and the nation of Zimbabwe has been financially supporting zanu-pf. The ease with which Mugabe has been able to treat the country as his personal fiefdom has meant that zanu-pf has grown very fat and very lazy and has no means of raising money other than through political patronage. Gono has been the key mechanism of Mugabe's wholesale theft of national assets. Mugabe desperately needs Gono to stay in place so that he can divert what forex gets into the hands of the RBZ towards his boss and the rest of the kleptocracy. Were a MDC governor to take over the RBZ, zanu-pf would find itself trying to secure its finances from its grass roots supporters and the result would be the inevitable death of the party. This is why firstly, foreign donors will not channel their funds through the RBZ and secondly, why MDC are prepared to make a big deal of this matter.
I think that if the MDC were successful in getting their man into the RBZ Governor's seat, Mugabe would have no choice but to dissolve the GNU and rule by decree. The alternative would be an inevitable death of zanu-pf.
Gono and all the other Zanugoon parasites will insure that Zimbabwe remains ruined
Why does the two individuals who seem to be dragging the refromation of our country back putting sticks in their ears? The solution is very simple indeed, RESIGN!! Gono newe Tomana please save our beloved country just resign period!
Chitsidzo;
You are not serious when you call on Dr Gono to resign. How can he resign at a time when he is needed most? After standing up to the mighty powers of the imperialist world, Gono cannot now resign simply because little Biti and Chitsidzo want it that way. While it is true that the likes of Biti are being used by imperialists to attack Dr Gono and assassinate his character, there is no room for surrendering nor is there any room for complacence at this juncture.
Through his noble and visionary policies, Dr Gono made sure that the economy of Zimbabwe did not collapse under the weight of sanctions campaigned for by Biti, Tsvangirai and the whole MDC establishment. After weathering the storm of the CIA and MI6 wanting to get rid of the man behind Zimbabwe's ability to stand up to their aggression, Gono cannot now abandon ship when he should be directing it as he is the compass and captain of the Zimbabwean ship.
Many bad things, bordering on assassinating you character and demonizing you, will be said and threats will fly all over you but just ignore anything of that sort and remain focused. Forward EVER, backward NEVER!!!
Dr Gono has already proved his indispensability by authoring STERP. Biti just plagiarized from the works of Dr Gono. I therefore urge Dr Gono to remain resolute in his fight against these saboteurs and sellouts – we are behind you all the way. You have done nothing wrong Doctor. If anything you did Zimbabwe proud by standing up to the most powerful terrorists in the world - the imperialists and their running dogs in MDC.
You cannot now think, let alone dream of resigning when we are getting to the top of the mountain. You actually deserve a medal for all that you have done and will do from now on but that medal is dependent on whether you remain resolute and refuse to be intimidated by agents of imperialism.
Agents of imperialism are angels of Satan; they will NEVER leave you alone. They will always find faults in whatever you do. So the attacks you have to endure should actually strengthen your resolve to continue fighting until final victory is achieved.
Remain persistent and consistent as you have done for the past 5 years or so. You should persevere as this is the hardest part of the battle - this is the final phase of the battle. Aluta Continua!!!
Cde Ndebvu - "Through his noble and visionary policies, Dr Gono made sure that the economy of Zimbabwe did not collapse under the weight of sanctions..." Can you name one single "noble and visionary policy" of Dr Gono's that has succeeded in the long run?
Cde Ndebvu - no? I didn't think that you could. You're all rhetoric and no substance.
Zimbabweans Pleae give us a break!You seem to be the only country that idolizes individuals, take a leaf from South Africa over Travor Manuel, Zuma has proved that here is no one person who is greater than his own country, people come and go but you will always have one Zimbabwe. Who the heck is this Gono? that you are so very ready to sacrifice donor funding just to keep him in a job. Let me tell folks as for us African countries we will not waste our money on you, Never!Put your house in order and people will be willing to help you.
Hello RexK, Zimbabweans are not the only people who idealize individals very much. Do not forget their robotfriends in North Korea. An open airmuseum of communism. Further I agree with your opinions concerning Zimbabwe and their neverending story about their poverty and blaming 'illegal sanctions' instead of their illegitimate president, his sort of wife and the cronies.
Hey Takunya, the light is seeking you out, stop hiding in your darkness, now did you say you're a pastor or witchdoctor? Can't quite remember. Mmmmmm I'm sure it was witchdoctor.
The whole country can not be held at ransom because of one political appointee, if Mugabe has nothing to hide and believes he owes this man a job surely let him move him to sate house as his economic advisor and let the country progress. Trust me we are getting fed up with the Zimbabwe story, we will not release our money to such irresponsibility.Individuals who are identified as stumbling blocks should move for the purpose of healing. We are fed up of your story guys.
Katanekwarex;
Keep your filthy lucre; we do not need it, that is, if you have any at all. You are a nonentity who does not even own a donkey. How will you give proud Zimbabweans a cent iwe usina kana reburi? Leave the Zimbabwe story alone if you are getting fed up with it. It does not concern you what is happening in our country. Ibva kumhepo inotinhuwira!!!
Tacky as usual you come with a lot of lies and nonsense. Funny and sad that you really think Gono came with Biti's plan to restore the mess he himself created. Same level as your mates from the Herald who write that Gono was printing money to fight hyperinflation. Haha typical boboonlogic of the bananarepublicgangsters. Keep on the good work, every post of yours shows the west is right not to invest in Zimbabwe casuse money will disappear in the pockets of the Zanusavages. Even your "noble" Gono admitted he stole money from private bankaccounts. That story will really attract investors. Zimbabwe is nothing more than an open air museum of Zanupolitics. Destroying it's own food production, it's own currency and showing tacky beggars like you who blame others for the mess they created. In SA it will go the same way. First mercedes already offered...
Takunya the Satanist growls from the deapth of the earth. He must be the Beast.
Gono, together with his boss Mugabe and his cronies, have managed to steal virtually the whole of the wealth of the people of Zimbabwe.
At best he should be in JAIL, although perhaps it would be better if he is just be taken outside and shot!!!!
Then Zimbabwe will start on the process of recovery.
Limnothrissa;
I am sure everybody can see and hear the barbarism in MDC - kill, kill and kill innocent people. It is all because of the indoctrination by those who practiced extra-ordinary rendition.
They killed, killed and killed innocent people for no other reason than that they are "either with us or against us". Anybody who did not publicly support the barbarians became a target of torture (water bodying), extra-ordinary rendition and murder.
Only yesterday another MDC mole on here was advocating for the kidnapping of Dr Gono's children and/or killing them if he refuses to resign. All this was in support of the leader of all thugs, criminals and murderers in MDC who called Dr Gono names and labeled him "Al Qaeda number one who deserve to be shot by a firing squad".
It is all barbaric, it is satanic and it is devilish and as all this is happening, Zungairwa is quite; will not say a word condemning such ungodly utterances which should not be entertained by a Christian no matter how deep the hatred is with the targeted person.
People should not pay any further attention to the comments of Takunya. Simply go to youtube and type in Mugabe or Zimbabwe. You'll find overwhelming evidence about the crimes committed by Takunya and her Zanuparty. Now Mugabe had become senile and not so long more to live his partymembers are dancing around his corpse already debating his succession as partyleader of the boboons. In the meantime they try to blame other people for the crimes they committed. They know the faith of Taylor and they know they go the same way. All their names are registered. A matter of time.
To true Rm, looking at Roberts Mugabe's Palace on youtube is a major eyeopener. Then Everything else there is incredible. Have you heard Henry Olonga's song Our Zimbabwe, absolutely brilliant, should be official song of the country or for the MDC. tap in Our Zimbabwe on you tube, it made me cry man. Best song to come out of Zim for a very long time. Very very patriotic, with everyone equal in every way possible.
Tak, you should take some of your own advice some time, it might help you. Go and read up John 3 some time it might help you.
Zungairwa;
Me, reading the whiteman's book, rakaitwa chirotera, NEVER EVER. Only devils and Satanists like you will read the book in order to cover your evil deeds with Christianity.
Strike three, you're out. You had one last chance to repent and you blew it.Takunya/ Tokolosh you will never get into heaven now. When you say that Jesus is a liar, then so sorry , you are of Satan.
Zungairwa;
If Heaven now belongs to you then I will never be there and I would NEVER want to enter your "Heaven". Satan cannot give me a "last chance" because he himself has to answer for his sins of praying for the death of other people.
tacky go on youtube.com to UNDERCOVER INSIDE ZIMBABWE PRISON
Oi tokolosh, when you are on you tube listen to Henry Olonga with his song of Our Zimbabwe. Come back to us with your report, I look forward to it.
The Gono issue is not about politics at all. It is about a man given a job or mandate to perform then fails to produce results. And we all know if you fail to produce results you are fired. Thats all. Nobody is politicising anything here.
He failed to rescue the sinking ship. Kutaurisa and delivering results are diffrent things here. If he wants to stay on the job, first he should get evaluated for the past term. Everyone in private sector knows this concept, why should the Gono issue become political if we are looking at the same concept.
