We all know that Wicknell Chivayo, ED's deceased "friend," funded the August 2023 election via a corruptly awarded ZEC tender, but we pretend not to because we are all terrified of the consequences of saying it from a personal safety standpoint. Stemming from this, the most effective way of stopping CAB3 was always via challenging ED's legitimacy using the sham August 2023 SADC SEOM Final Report. To this day, Chiwenga, Vets, Academics, political analysts & other so-called opposition leaders overlook this critical fact. The whole nation participates in an election. It gives political meaning & effect to what's encapsulated in the Constitution. An election should ordinarily bind the whole nation together as people vote beyond party lines. It's the most significant national event, selecting a government that represents it's people & giving it a mandate to govern. Governments which earn genuine mandates in free & fair elections rarely behave in the manner that ED's regime is behaving because they know that they are accountable to the people. That's what confers legitimacy, giving expression to the will of the people. We know that this was deliberately & illegally thwarted. It's reasonable to infer that this was done in furtherance of CAB3. Had the whole nation immediately come together & focused on that, chances are ED would have baulked & retreated from pursuing it. The challenge is many, including Chiwenga, selfishly failed to look beyond Chamisa. They failed to connect the dots. They chose to turn a blind eye! For Chiwenga & his supporters, it was likely a question of being fearful that supporting Chamisa would undercut his own path to power, & then opting for a conspiracy of strategic silence! He failed to realise that this would morph into an even bigger & existential challenge for him further down the road, which is now! ED has executed his mission in stages. He stole the election and followed this by hijacking CCC via Tshabangu, isolating & frustrating Chamisa, effectively turning him into a lame duck leader, leaving him with no choice but to step down. Now it's Chiwenga's turn to bear the brunt of his costly earlier strategic miscalculation. It's the equivalent of the frog in a slow burning pot syndrome all over again! He harps on about Zvigananda yet he overlooks the most powerful point in that sequence, the desecration of a sacred national election through the dubious awarding of a tender to Wicknell which has resulted in Chimombe & Mpofu's convenient, vengeful & lengthy incarcerations! If Chiwenga, the War Vets & others who are claiming to be staunchly opposed to CAA3 are being sincere, then they can't fail to clock on the stinking rank hypocrisy & opportunism of claiming to be fighting to defend the Constitution & stopping Zviganandas while ignoring the stench of a stolen election & its full ramifications on constitutionalism, legitimacy, democracy, good governance, accountability & the true legacy of the liberation struggle! – at Shadwell, England
