My advice to MDC is that Zanu PF should first coin a new name for an opposition party before they decide to join a government of national unity. I have seen a post on this site which made me think otherwise, Zanu PF has no vernecular word for opposition they call an oppostion party or member vatengesi or mutengesi - sellout. Until Zanu PF puts its terms correctly no sane person would join such a silly setup where you are called sellout and they call themselves non-sellouts.

Chachacha;

A sellout, be it party or individual, remains a SELLOUT, whether inside or outside govt. A sellout and a Patriotic Zimbabwean are like water and oil; they will never mix or work together until the sellout stops selling out. To be able to work with revolutionaries in Zanu-pf, the MDC needs to shed-off its sellout mentality and become a patriotic and constructive opposition that defense the principles for which the war was fought in the first place.

This all must get rather confusing for Mugabe. A supposed patriot, yet he sells out to the Chinese. How many millions of dollars worth of zimbabwean minerals did he sell to the Chinese at below market rates in exchange for his retirement mansion?

Actually, want the war fought so that Zimbabweans could all vote to decide their future. Didnt Mugabe campaign on the basis of one man, one vote. Clearly these ideals are out the window when they mean that you lose power yourself. Its funny how greed for power and money take over. All these supposed moralistic values out the window when you might lose your grip on power. Mugabes and the ZANU=PF's corrupt greed for power and money is the problem in Zimbabwe today.

Tukunya ndebvu - Most of us here know that Zanu PF's slang for opposition members or party its sellout, failure you call it challenges, travel bans you call them economic sanctions and someone who was Zanla you call him/her comrade. You hardly used comrade for Joshua Nkomo or Ndabaningi Sithole otherwise that would have been a slip of the tongue. Saka you use words you don’t understand.
