The breaking news by the former Prime
Minister of the Republic of Zimbabwe Mr Morgan Richard Tsvangirai
that he is suffering from
a
cancer of the colon is dealing Zimbabwe opposition politics a heavy
blow
as MDC T will soon be gearing to find an able bodied candidate for
the make or break 2018 elections.
It
seems the two heavyweight parties in Zimbabwe politics have a lot to
deal with in their intra-party politics, a development that is very
unusual as two rely on bad mouthing each other. Like Zanu PF, MDC T
is panicking after building a very strong personal cult around their
leader and now that Mr. Tsvangirai is not feeling well, MDC is also
not feeling well.
On
the far end Zanu PF is facing mortality calling on its door and their
leader trying hard to cling on life, the natural cause is about to
happen and everyone in Zanu PF walls is scared to death on future
prospects if there is future they can think about. With wild
speculation that the power wielding First Lady is said to be battling
cancer of the intestine which is more or less similar to colone cancer, it leaves a lot to be pondered upon about this strange malady
that has bedeviled the top Zimbabwe's political echelons.
Linkundla
is boggled in the sickening trend that we surrender our political
fate to natural occurrences such as death and sickness. There are a
plethora of lessons from this political trade fair but it seems
Zimbabweans learn nothing from them and have accepted as a culture to
die serving. These lessons can be categorically stated as ;
- The case of Joshua Nkomo who died serving as the Vice President-Cancer
- Simon Muzenda who died serving as the Vice President- Diabetes
- Joseph Musika who fulfilled a similar predicament-Hypertension
- John Nkomo who couldnt be outdone by his predecessors-Cancer
- Gibson Sibanda frailly held on till his last breath-Cancer
- Thokozani Khuphe cannot let go of,(battling) -Cancer
- Morgan Tsvangirai's tight grip on MDC T presidency despite poor health and time(battling) -Cancer
- Robert Mugabe the iconic iron fisted one and only known president of Zimbabwe(battling) - ???
Should
people of Zimbabwe allow the same dark cloud to be the answer? The
sick leadership makes the whole nation sick economically, politically
and psychologically as it presents the young hopeless population with a sick present, a recipe for a sick future.
