The ill-calculated political-bastardisation of politics in Zimbabwe by Didymus Mutasa is so amazing, and incredible that it boggles the mind that a normal human being can immerse oneself into mud like that. It is visibly evident that Mutasa completed his political life-cycle when the final nail on his political-death bed was hammered at the December 2014 Congress in Harare.
All the venomous vitriol that he spitted thereafter are just the last kicks of a dying horse that no-one bothered to care for. His inconsistence, clandestine evils and insatiable desire for political aggrandizement costed him dearly.
His inspiration of being the sole member in the ‘Old ZANU-PF’ is a typical perfect example of a day-dreamer in the contemporary world. Mutasa is a victim of his own delusional dreams which propel him to build castles in the air. In the forthcoming the by-election in his previous constituency, where he vows to participate on his foolish banner of ‘Old ZANU-PF’, he is assured of sustaining an indelible ridicule for his ultimate destination to the political dust-bins.
Very soon Mutasa will be screaming louder after vowing to play it alone. He should know better that no-one is bigger than the party in this country ever since. There have existed like minded people prior to his ordeal who believed they were political assets, and chose to abandon the party and pursue their parallel political aspirations alone. Names that come to mind are Edgar Tekere, Dumiso Dabengwa, Dr Simba Makoni, and Margaret Dongo. The band-wagon is growing with the likes of Didymus Mutasa, Jabulani Sibanda, Temba Mliswa and Rugare Gumbo as latest arrivals on this ship. So far there is none of them who ever registered an inch of success on the political front.
Mutasa needs to be reminded that ZANU-PF is a formidable and invincible political organisation whose legacy hasn’t changed since time of the liberation struggle. I think he is the one who is well-placed to lecture this to others, than acting like a stray donkey.
I wonder how he wishes to keep his head above water in Headlands constituency where he lost popularity dismally owing to his inability to serve the constituents that voted him into Parliament. In this constituency he is infamous for cruelty, terrorizing political opponents even from the same party, womanizing, nepotism, favouratism, and being the protagonist of illusionary Chinhoyi diesel discovery.
All this is clear-cut testimony that he is headed for doom where he is going to record a resounding thunderous fall when the imminent by-election poll is held in Headlands Constituency. His expulsion from ZANU-PF came as a sigh of relief for many in his former constituency as it paved way for sanity to prevail.
