UK- Arthur G.O Mutambara is a very controversial politician indeed. It seems his other grouping has a personal vendetta which they want to score against Tsvangirai at the expense of those who elected his party on March 29 2008.

 

In his article Mutambara argues that as a matter of principle Tsvangirai's MDC should have obeyed the SADC directive of co-chairing the Ministry of Home-Affairs.

 

Nevertheless if SADC's judgment was contrary to what the majority of Zimbabweans want, what is SADC as compared to the Zimbabwean electorate?

 

One hoped that SADC is a people driven regional bloc, but alas it has proven that it is a club with a hidden intent to protect the elite and their affluent interests.

SADC would have been well informed by the March 29 result, for the first time in Zimbabwean history, that Mugabe is no longer major player in Zimbabwean politics.

 

His achievements no longer have any relevance for the future of Zimbabwe.

The fact that Mugabe was able to disobey the orders of the SADC, without any punitive action, goes a long way to show that, it is not any organ that is held with high esteem by some African leaders such as Mugabe.

It therefore beggars belief that people such as Mutambara are so quick to state that MDC should embrace the SADC ruling.

 

If Mugabe demonstrated disrespect for the SADC leadership during the deliberation itself, why should MDC be the party that should give this dysfunctional body respect? This is an open proof that Mutambara is a gallery politician.

He is an overbearing, overzealous political zealot who has very little substance. His observation about the nature of Ministries and their value would make a ZJC student laugh (if ever there is still any in Zimbabwe).

The fact that Mugabe viewed the Home-Affairs Portfolio as crucial for his political patronage is another proof that government Ministries are never the same, unlike what Mutambara asserts.
Mutambara's degree in Robotics seem to confuse his reasoning capacity more than what an ordinary Zimbabwean can imagine.

 

This is the same Mutambara who after Tsvangirai signed the aborted unity deal, was captured on video saying "We are now one with Zanu-PF.

Those who want to form an Opposition party should start now".

 

This is an example of how short sighted Mutambara is. He could not see it coming that Mugabe and Tsvangirai can never work together, yet some of us MDC followers have known this fact for a long long time. Mutambara is a square peg on a rough hole.

His main purpose is to confuse the Zimbabwean public by pretending to have better brains than Tsvangirai.

Whoever said that having a degree qualifies one to lead the country was a liar.

 

Mugabe used to have fifteen of them and what has he done for the country so far? Leading the country is borne out of strategy and good advisors .If you lack the two you can never be a good leader.

What Zimbabwe needs is good leader not just a leader. Morgan has a great potential to become one, when Mutambara is absolutely not.

Right from his days as a student renegade, he has never embodied the hallmarks of a good leader. His brief history in politics and his rhetoric has been evident enough to everyone to exhibit what kind of leader he is. He is just irrelevant and I can see his splinter group going down with him at the helm.

 

JOKE OF THE DAY - A woman and her little girl were visiting the grave of the little girl's grandmother. On their way through the cemetery back to the car, the little girl asked, "Mommy, do they ever bury two people in the same grave?"

"Of course not, dear." replied the mother, "Why would you think that?"

"The tombstone back there said, 'Here lies a lawyer and an honest man.'"
