Under the Second Republic, criticizing corruption is no longer a mere critique, it’s now considered an act of treason.
Recently ungrateful war veterans, led by one rogue Blessed Runesu Geza, committed the “unpardonable sin” of treason by asking President Emmerson Mnangagwa to step down!
This is despite President Emmerson Mnangagwa breaking all records of corruption, including featuring in the Al Jazeera documentary Gold Mafia as one of the key protagonists.
Imagine war veterans like Ethan Mathibela and Geza calling for a man who has revolutionized corruption to step down.
Like, seriously? ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa was spot on when he said that Geza’s statements accusing Cde Ruka Chivende of corruption border on treason.
Clearly, the cdes are now forgetting the agenda of the liberation struggle.
From the Second Republic’s perspective, the liberation struggle was obviously about replacing white looters with indigenous looters.
Imagine the likes of Geza calling Second Republic ‘businessmen’ like Wicknell Chivhayo, Scot Sakupwanya, and Kuda Tagwirei “zvigananda.”
That is treason at its best!
Chivhayo did a tremendous job through his Ren-Form CC company for ZEC, ensuring there was a shortage of ballot papers in opposition strongholds.
The man single-handedly played a pivotal role in ensuring the revolutionary party, ZANU PF, retains power, so let him have as many government tenders as our beloved corrupt government can afford to award him.
What about Scot Sakupwanya, President Ruka Chivende’s business colleague, who managed to bring American boxing great Floyd Mayweather to Mabvuku for US$1 million, despite the fact that the suburb has lacked running water for decades and has no proper roads?
Well, as for Tagwirei, we have all seen his big achievements.
From mines, land, fuel, football, passports, etc., the man literally controls every sector in Zimbabwe.
If the ANC has the Guptas, ZANU PF has Tagwirei!
Once, Mutsvangwa, alongside Geza, fought to expose the criminal practices of Robert Mugabe’s regime.
Now, Mutsvangwa has grown wise enough to understand that in the Second Republic, criticizing the President’s corruption is the real treason.
