Nothing for the common person in Zanu PF fights

Patients were strapped in cardboard instead of a proper plaster at a time when the regime is splashing money

My Dear People

The long drawn out circus over the push to extend the disastrous leadership tenure of the Scarfed One to 2030 took another turn with the octogenarian declaring yet again that he will not rule beyond the constitutionally mandated term limit of 2028.

Addressing editors at an interactive meeting at State House last week, the leader of the dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion vowed he will not be persuaded by his party Zanu PF to go beyond his two terms as obligated by the supreme law of the land.

 In line with being the dispensation of confusion, as he announced for the umpteenth time that he will step down in 2028, the national broadcaster, Dead BC revealed on its news rider that the constitutional amendment to ensure Scarfmore would cling on till 2030 is in full swing.

The latest episode of Ngwena’s announcement to step down in 2028 has no doubt been influenced by the  fierce resistance  to  having two more years  added to a decade under him especially from within his own party.

The country’s citizens cannot imagine an extra two years of Scarfmore’s leadership which has been riddled with woeful incompetence which includes currency failures, prolonged power cuts, company closures, job losses and entrenched poverty among other ills.

Generari’s supporters and war veterans have come out in full force to  reject the 2030 push with  calls for Scarfmore to step down even before his current term of office ends and allow his deputy to take over.

As your good doctor I derive no comfort whatsoever from the prospect of Generari replacing Scarfmore.

We have already seen during Generari’s tenure as Health minister in which he severely curtailed the rights of health workers by firing nurses for demonstrating for better working conditions, reducing the period in which health workers can demonstrate to just three days and how the health sector deteriorated alarmingly during this period which led to thousands of health professionals fleeing the country for greener pastures.

That said, his leadership qualities are, to put it mildly, questionable. Who can forget Generari’s vow to crush the opposition like lice during the run up to the 2022 by elections?

 It just shows that having him as successor to the  Scarfed One is similar to  jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

Munopengaaa !!!!

The image of a victim of the horrific Beitbridge accident, in which more than 20 people perished , strapped in makeshift cardboard box plaster is a damning indictment of the ineptitude of the Scarfmore regime.

Indeed, that patients are strapped in cardboard instead of a proper plaster  at a time when the regime is splashing money to buy top of the range vehicles and  VVIP pavilions is shameful and only strengthens the repugnance of having Scarfmore to extend his leadership to 2030.

To his credit, which is as rare as a hen’s teeth, the Scarfed One admitted that it was unacceptable to have patients being wrapped in a cardboard plaster in the 21st century, but not before a disgraceful attempt by his praise singers in the state media to try and sanitise this dreadful neglect of duty.

Some poor sod was trotted out to write  ghastly tripe to justify the use of cardboard boxes on patients.

Luckily he\she did not append their byline to this drivel which would have caused considerable damage to their reputation which would have taken years upon years to repair, if ever.

One senior   Zanu PF bonehead, on microblogging site X, said this was as a result of sanctions imposed by the United States of America.

This unsurprisingly caused outrage among the country’s citizens who reminded her of the millions of dollars splashed on cars and other trinkets of luxury for the regime’s fat cats.

That Finance minister Mthuli Ncube once admitted to spending more than what had been allocated to buy vehicles for chiefs at a time the health sector is in the doldrums is a demonstration of the warped priorities of the so-called second repubric .

The failure by the regime to allocate 15% of the country’s revenues to the health sector as agreed by African governments at a conference in Abuja Nigeria is indicative of the impoverished leaders this country is burdened with and shows this lot does not give a toss about the well-being of its citizens.

Munopengaaa!!!

 The revelations by Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume to the commission of inquiry set up by the Scarfed One  that top executives earn  a total of US$500 000 a month at a time the council is dismally failing to provide water or collect garbage which the ratepayers are paying through the nose for is nothing short of scandalous.

The council which consists mainly of councilors from the Citizens Coalition for Change is proving to be no better than Scarfmore and Co when it comes to corruption.

This is a betrayal of all those who voted for these rascals hoping for a changed approach to the well documented Scarfmore regime’s governance failures.

Munopengaaaaaaaaaa

Stop It!
