EXILED former cabinet minister and top Zanu PF official, Saviour Kasukuwere says he is tired of President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s \u201cnonsense\u201d.<\/p>\n
Addressing South African opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party leaders and supporters at their annual congress in Soweto Saturday, Kasukuwere said it was time to take the bull by its horns.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur struggle in Zimbabwe is just about to begin, we cannot any longer tolerate the nonsense that is happening,\u201d Kasukuwere said amid cheers from EFF supporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pain in our people is too much, queues day in and out, our people are running to South Africa. Thousands of our people are here without papers; that\u2019s the humiliation they are facing living in a country full of challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Zimbabweans, we must take the bull by its horns. It is not about enmity; it is about correcting comrades that have gone wayward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey want more money, they want more riches, and they have lost the direction of the revolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they (Zanu PF) meet, hear their resolutions, none of the resolutions make sense, they have no basis to move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former Zanu PF national political commissar, who was kingpin of the G40 faction that was fiercely opposed to Mnangagwa taking over from then President Robert Mugabe, said one of the challenges that the ruling party was facing was that it did not want to move away from the liberation war mode.<\/p>\n
\u201cA hungry people cannot be governed and this is the challenge many liberation movements are facing in Africa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can give you an example of my country Zimbabwe, the objective when they started the movements, they formed the military wing called Zanla and Zipra and those combatants have not put the guns down.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are still in that liberation period; they have not transformed to talk about economic empowerment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe gun has now become an instrument to suppress the majority of our people.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t focus on growing the cake, on growing our economy, get our people into mining, get our people into agriculture, and get our people to become masters of their own destiny.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have done enough politics, but for the necessity\u2026must lead us into total control of economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kasukuwere had no kind words for Mnangagwa\u2019s endless trips outside the country in a hired jet \u201cattending countless conferences, with no tangible results on the ground\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do we attend investment conferences the world over, some comrades we have to travel on hired planes, with plates full of mazondo chewing them as they travel and you ask them \u2018what are you going to do there that you can\u2019t do here\u2019,\u201d Kasukuwere said.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s bring our people together and that\u2019s the first investment that we must find ourselves in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kasukuwere followers recently launched #tysonwabantu which teh former Mount Darwin MP said was not a political party but a movement by citizens of the country, some on the diaspora who feel that there was need to come together to persuade and move the country forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
