Zimbabwe Power Crisis: Presidential Aspirant Says "Political Elites Chose Blame Game"
2 years agoFri, 16 Dec 2022 11:38:52 GMT
Elisabeth Valerio, a politician and businessperson who founded the United Zimbabwe Alliance (UZA) party has said the current power crisis could be resolved if political elites were not choosing the “blame game.”
Valerio who is a presidential aspirant urged the government to invest in clean and safe energy. In Twitter posts seen by Pindula News, Valerio said:
The power of solar is a practical solution to the current #powercrisis. It’s sad that political elites have chosen to play the blame game at a time when the nation needs working solutions to redress the #ZESAwoes! #VoteForChangeZW Energy minister Zhemu Soda attributes the current electricity crisis to the wheat bumper harvest alleging that most of #Kariba Dam’s water allocations were used during the winter wheat cropping season.
Where are we going as a nation when #Harare can’t even power its traffic lights? Gvt must invest in #renewableenergy – a safe & clean solution that will result in #JobCreation & #PriceStability.
Zimbabwe has a huge power deficit as it is generating about a quarter of the required electricity.
The southern African country is generating about 500MW against a peak demand of 2 200MW.
Authorities attribute the crisis to ageing power generators, declining levels of water in Kariba Dam, and reduced imports.

The only solution is a one party state. It's impossible to remove Zanu pf through the ballot paper. The whole system is zanufied even if u try to act using emotions as much as u can. Forming a one party state and all the liberation struggle elements will be removed systematically.

Nothing wrong with what she said.
WHAT ARE HER CHANCES OF WINNING THE PRESIDENCY?
Answer = ZERO.
That is why I said she is only a candidate for POLAD, and getting a FREE vehicle for her efforts

I asked my question because you called her an imbecile yet she said something sensible. I think she has a right as everyone of us to contest for public office, as for her chances of success, let the people decide. Lets not be intolerant, intolerance is what got us in this ****hole in the first place.

A clever person knows how to fight, and a wise person knows when to fight. It is a stúpíd person (mentally retarded/imbecile) who decides to fight knowing fully well they will be thrashed.

Zanu is not afraid of chamisa, it is afraid of us the masses whom they oppress everyday
Zanu knows that mazuva ayo akapera kudhaaara, they are living on borrowed time. The people are just waiting for the right time to show their anger and show zanu that we were not fools . Zanu is looting, killing, violating and breaking every law, abducting citizens and doing all sorts trickery just to cling to power..

My view is a slight modification of yours. ZANU is certainly scared of the people.
At the moment Chamisa is articulating the mood of the people. Chamisa is important not for what he is as an individual, but what he stands for - the people's icon. So in going for Chamisa, ZANU is only doing what history has taught us - find a scapegoat and work on discrediting that icon. They tried to create an alternative icon in Mwonzora, but that failed dismally.
Simply that Chamisa is standing in for the silent majority. That is why ZANU is scared of Chamisa. Because he is the rallying point for the people of Zimbabwe.

Apostle Chiwenga was right, this country is cursed zvemashuwa. Nothing seems to work. Nothing. I hope one day we will be delivered from this curse. The biggest curse we have is having zanu in this country. This grouping makes every god frown every time he looks at zimbabwe.
