Regarding who among that ZANU PF gang gets to hell before
the others, I don't know and certainly don't care.
As far as I am concerned, there is no better devil in that
sulfurous pit called ZANU PF, whether G40 or Lacoste. Absolutely none. So I say
let it burn. Let them burn to extinction their hades.
I wasted a good hour of my time watching a shallow and
insipid documentary which was created by Jonathan Moyo in a bid to outmanouvre
and score points against the Lacoste camp. I feel sorry for the poor 'young'
man who was made to endure an hour of that dull presentation during a ZANU PF
politiburo meeting. I wonder how many times the 'young' man zoned out into his
now default hobby of sleeping during that lifeless and fictitious presentation.
I am not hereby defending Mnangagwa or his Lacoste faction.
Like I said, I really don't care who among that bunch gets to hell first .
What enraged me is how these grown men and women who are
supposed to be directing their energy towards arresting the multi-faceted
vagaries engulfing the country are finding nothing better than to rapture
themselves in frivolity and petty ego contests. While the country teeters on
the verge of a precipice they want us to cheer and ululate for them as they
behave like drunk village monkeys. That is totally unacceptable.
The bottom line is that indeed factions in ZANU PF are not
an illusion, they are a reality. What is incontestable however is the fact that
we are being taken for a rude ride. It really seems as though that ZANU PF
bunch has mastered the art of massaging our shocking propensity for trivia.
They give us exactly that and we even kill each other over their nonsense while
they laugh at us, sipping expensive wine in their mansions.
After all is said and done and after tearing each other up
on social media over ZANU PF's sunset madness, you and I are still jobless and
we still have to grapple with the mess which was created by that incorrigible
gang. If they want to kill each other in their hell space, let it be so but we
must not be cheerleaders to that sordid affair or imagine we will ever gain
anything out of it.
They don't care about us. All this is about them, not about
us. Let us not get distracted by their mendacity and madness. Our eyes must
remain on the ball.
