Mnangagwa Returns Home Soon After Boko's Inauguration
4 months agoFri, 08 Nov 2024 13:57:30 GMT
President Emmerson Mnangagwa returned to Zimbabwe on Friday afternoon, shortly after attending the inauguration of Botswana’s new president, 54-year-old Duma Gideon Boko, in Gaborone.
The event saw the presence of several regional heads of state, including Mnangagwa, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, and South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile.
In a rare move, several opposition politicians from various countries were also invited, including South Africa’s Julius Malema and Mmusi Maimane, as well as Zimbabwe’s Nelson Chamisa and Job Sikhala.
Mnangagwa had flown to Botswana earlier that morning from Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport aboard an Air Zimbabwe plane and was back in Zimbabwe by the afternoon.
While there is no formal connection between Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU PF party, led by Mnangagwa, and Botswana’s new ruling party, the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), Mnangagwa’s attendance was expected in his capacity as both Zimbabwe’s head of state and the current Chairman of SADC.
The UDC’s victory in the October 30 elections, which ended 58 years of Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) rule, marks a historic shift.
Despite ZANU PF’s support for the BDP during the campaign, the latter came fourth in a four-party race.
While it is common for heads of state to attend such inaugurations, the inclusion of opposition leaders at the event is unusual for the SADC region.
The invitation extended to Chamisa and other opposition figures signals a developing relationship between regional opposition leaders and President Boko.
Chamisa’s invitation to the inauguration follows his attendance at the swearing-in of Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, a leader seen as sympathetic to Zimbabwe’s opposition.
This trend suggests a growing diplomatic rapport between regional opposition political parties and emerging regional leaders who are not from former liberation movements.

Don't feed lies to us, the BDP proved that Botswana is a proper democracy when they accepted defeat so graciously after nearly 6 decades of ruling and that is not going to change because of the UDC. The country has proper democracy not the nonsense that is here, Zanu PF refused to go in 2008 and that is the culture of our fake democracy here, don't compare it with the world class democracy of Botswana. That is how a country should be run, if you are defeated accept and then fight for next time, this culture of ours of saying that only one party is entitled to rule is destructive hence our collapsed economy and toxic politics characterised by a bitter division when it comes to supporting a party.

Blue lies iwe. This is becoming a shift from liberation parties dorminance. Liberation parties have overstayed to the extend of loosing their relevence. They are a hunderance to democracy as they cling to power by force and they have abandoned their responsibility to the masses

Ukuzve ndanga ndotyira kuti ndikagarisa ndinowana ndatambwa imwe iya. VP:Dont worry, kana musi wekuti zviitike wasvika, nothing will stop the change.

Ask Botswana how the ruling party can wake up one day and find themselves powerless. You can also ask Harris of America... or go to Zambia and talk to Hichilema . Even Ramaphosa knows that power can be lost and a GNU can be formed.

Someone once said that as long as men die then there is nothing to fear, change will always come.
Zanu PF may seem untouchable but even it cannot escape the Jaws of death and the ravages of time, well time has already done its part because it is no longer the same organisation it was in the 80s, now it is as rotten as ever before. Death will also do its part, key Zanu men and their supporters are not immortal, they will all stop walking the earth one day and to go with them will be the narrative that we fought the war so we deserve to rule indefinitely, their offspring or apprentices won't have the same clout and won't be able to demand the rural support because they wouldn't have fought in anything and also the army won't have any more people who participated in the war, so no more of that nonsensical narrative that 'we don't salute anyone without liberation credentials'
Patience my fellow citizens, it is hard to just wait but no one can escape time and death including Zanu PF, change is near, it is darkest before dawn.

**** minds don't realize that ED is not zanupf. zanupf is the power house not E D. If you knew how many leaders led zanupf from 1963 at its inception you would think otherwise. from SITHOLE to Chitepo Mugabe now MNANGAGWA. TO tople zanupf is and won't be easy because the majority still support and have faith in the party. despite its short comings we sympathize with zanupf and cannot just sellout our party because of stomach politics. No we have endured worse problems than these.what we know is the current economic problems we're man made by IMPERIALIST FORCES having been begged to pull the plug by these shameless opposition western sponsored traitors masquerading as change champions. like or hate zanupf but the truth is its here to stay with or without your approval.

The truth is one day it will have to go, nothing lasts forever. Its support base is the one which operates on 'stomach politics' as you call it, as evidenced by vote buying on mapostori, poor rural voters, giving farming land to supporters, as well as keeping the minority urban vote through coercion by threatening to evict them from their informal settlement. It is well documented that the majority of Zanu supporters are driven by material gain and nothing no and one day the taps will run dry and all hell will break loose. Do you really think that the opposition can tell Uncle Sam what to do 😂😂, come on grow up man.

@SOL REGEN. YOUR POLITICAL ANALYSIS IS VERY POOR. FIRSTLY THE SO CALLED RURAL POOR ARE THE VERY PEOPLE WHO BORE THE BRUNT OF THE WAR AND WON IT.ITS THEIR RIGHT TO REPOSSESE THE LAND BECAUSE THEY FOUGHT FOR IT. THE MINORITY URBANITES NEVER FOUGHT THE WAR INFACT THEY WERE AGAINST THE WAR UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PUPPET ABEL MUZOREWA. SINCE TIME MEMORIAL THE TOWNFOLKS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ANT ZANUPF AND ALL FORMS OF REVOLUTION. THAT'S THE HISTORY AND WHEN TSVANGIRAYI STEPPED IN THE VANGUISHED MADZAKUTSAKU FOUND REFUGE IN THE MDC AND QUICKLY CAMPAIGNED FOR THAT PARTY TO TAKE ROOT. SO THE SO CALLED CCC IS INFACT A GROUP OF DISGRUNTLED UANC WHOSE GRUDGE GOES BACK TO 1980 WHEN THEY WERE TROUNCED BY ZANUPF. I HATE LECTURING TO MISGUIDED IGNORANT MALCONTENTS.

As the clock chimes and time runs out for ED literally and metaphorically & as he watches with disdain the signs happening all around him in denial, there is no hiding it from him, his time has come and gone. His party is fed up with him, otherwise he wouldn't be paying for pro-mnangagwa jingles to be made and played on the National radio to push for a 2030 agenda which im sure the feasibilty of he no longer believes a possibility. If wise he would resign well ahead of an assassination or embarrassment.
