Many of you must have been following the circus at Zanu PF where the youth league leadership was busy trying to draw your attention away from important issues such as the looming starvation caused by the ruling party’s incompetence.
Instead, they wanted you the people of Zimbabwe to focus on their little sideshows and smoke-and-mirror presentations so that you forget about the real issues affecting the people of Zimbabwe.
The people of Zimbabwe are being affected by poor leadership at all levels.
These levels include the failure by Emmerson Mnangagwa, Lizard Lacoste, to lead the people of Zimbabwe out of poverty and to lead better lives.
The leadership failures include the failures by the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leader, Nelson Chamisa, and the Lacoste boss to throw away their selfish and arrogant attitudes over power retention and to prioritise the interests and welfare of the people of Zimbabwe.
The failure by the national government is known to all and sundry and we cannot waste precious time and resources dwelling on an institution whose record for failure has attained legendary status.
The other level of failure, which must be a very huge disappointment, even to their most ardent supporters, are the MDC local authorities.
At a time that we thought the MDC would demonstrate to the nation just why the people of Zimbabwe should vote for them through quality service delivery, they have proved to be no better than Zanu PF.
The levels of failure are so many and include shortages of just about any commodity from cooking oil to fuel, medical drugs, livestock drugs, chemicals for water treatment, foreign currency and all the other important things.
Those that are available are too costly and are priced beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Anyway, back to the Zanu PF clowns.
There was what lawyers would call Brutum Fulmen or empty thunder.
Why go and address a press conference at a venue away from their beloved headquarters, Shake Shake building?
