Former Vice President Joice Mujuru has committed a grave sin against the people of Dotito who she has abused in ways that will need sacrificing 500 live bulls.
Having analyzed Vice President Mujuru’s first public speech yesterday as she broke her silence after being sidelined for corruption and public scandals, I just want to remind the public that now Joice Mujuru realizes a need for support from the people of Dotito more than she ever before. All these glossy years she had never publicly associated with the rural people of Dotito as her career kept excelling. She never even identified with them, let alone publicly acknowledge that she was from that backward part of the country. Today Dotito is caricatured and mocked as a backward rural spot in the middle of nowhere. Many hardly know where that is. Anyone who wants to make fun of an unknown place, Dotito sounds convenient. If Mai Mujuru loved her rural home, today Dotito could be on the limelight. Many could know the place through a good way and feel proud to identify with it. Unfortunately, Dotito remains a dark crevice that no one wants to be reminded of.
It is just sad that Mai Mujuru now appeals to the wonderful people of Zimbabwe as a daughter of Dotito area in Mount Darwin. She states that she is a simple girl from the village who was illiterate at independence. She then goes on to mention that she has all these years fought hard to make sure people have access to clean water, good health facilities and good infrastructure. This she states to make a public appeal and yet she forgets to elucidate further as to how she worked hard for the people despite her empty and countless promises to the masses year in year out. She even has the audacity to state that she saw the advancement of women during her days as the VP in Zimbabwe. What she forgot to mention was that she herself was the beneficiary of the affirmative action and she jealously guarded against the advancement of any other women that she kept under as cooks, singers and dancers in her rallies. She just wanted them to be her cheerleaders as she rose to fame and power. She never brought any sewing machine, needle, crotch or any kind of sustainable project to Mount Darwin.
Mai Mujuru never brought or caused the construction of any dam, road, school, bus station shelter, dip tank or bridge among the very village people that sent her off to national representation. As if that was not already enough of a problem, she never wanted to see anyone from Mount Darwin do better. That was why she fought tooth and claw to ensure that Strive Masiyiwa would never establish his telecommunications business in Zimbabwe in the late nineties. Were it not for Father Zimbabwe, the late Joshua Nyongolo Mqabuko Nkomo who reprimanded her and her fellow vindictive lot to “stop harassing the young innocent man [Strive] ”, there would be no Econet in Zimbabwe today.
Mai Mujuru was a selfish leader who just spearheaded her own selfish interests regardless of cost or social relations. She was one of the most corrupt leaders in ZANU PF and she went out of her way to amass wealth by any means as she wrestled from those with little. She never advanced the causes of the poor as she remained ruthless, unscrupulous and carefree. She never thought about developing her region. She made it a point that Mount Darwin would remain the same ancient place that was occupied by Chief Mutota and Changamire Dombo in ancient history. That was just how cruel she was.
So here she is now. Dotito is now her shield word. She now wants people to feel sorry for her. Now she is back to the same spot where she started and she needs people to identify with her. How history forgets itself! It is just unfortunate that she is so forgetful that if she had cared for the people of Mashonaland, maybe they could have defended her fort. Unfortunately she amassed billions of dollars and mines and factories as she buried her head in the sand to protect her empire for Kuzivakwashe and the other siblings.
And she is not the only one. Mashonaland Central leaders are notorious for being heavy-handed and blind among their own. They do not bring development and they take the Korekore people for granted. I just wish Mai Mugabe could keep going and dislodging all the deadwood especially from Mashonalanad Central. These have been the main reaosn why Zimbabwe is retrogressing. They remain selfish and ignorant of the needs of their masses.
To mai Mujuru, I say this was karma. If you do bad to others, it will catch up with you somehow. And be nice to those you meet on your way up for you shall need them as you fall down. Look at Nicholas Goche and Lazarus Dokora. Finally reality has struck. In Korekore language they say, Manga matidichira. Meaning this was long overdue. Chiendai munoenzera. Go and sleep well.

Development ipi? Iko kaGarden kaya? That’s nonsense.
so what? what are you , the writer doing for your mother and father and rural community. Zimbabwe needs people who look at all thingz objectively, you are heavily intoxicated by Mugabe’s faeces.
It is unfortunate that some of our so called journalists are not competent enough for the jobs they aspire to do. This journalist does not comprehend the situation on the ground in Dotito and has not bothered to conduct any credible research in an endeavour to write a balanced opinion piece. Mujuru is the current Member of Parliament for Dotito, as she has been since 1980. The people of Dotito have been behind her all the time and are still behind her in these, her times of undue persecution by the jackals. The people of Dotito duly appreciate her resolve never to ditch them and change constituencies in pursuit of chances to win elections as happened to the likes of Emmerson Manngagwa who has changed constituencies every now and then after losing the people’s vote. Mujuru has not sought to advance and develop her constituency ahead of other districts, which would have been selfish. She sought for the uniform development of all districts together rather than only her own, unlike the President who has created Zvimba into a mini town while the rest of the countryside is reading with poverty.
It is this type of journalistic lunacy that reverses the people’s advancement in our beloved country.
This article was written by someone who has no clue of the reality on the ground. Mai Mujuru never lost an election in Dotito and she never tried to move to an urban constituency like some politicians we know. She has always been associated with her constituency from beginning to end.
Yes good points but that is a Mugabe creation, go to Nkomo rural home, Muzenda rural home then you will know what type of respect VPs get from one RGM. I passed through Savior Kasukuwere home and was ashamed by the neighbourhood. He has an oasis in the middle of poverty.
hanty tara yakaperera pamba pake for her own convenience?
Quite a good article, madam President I don’t see where you fought hard to make sure people have access to clean water, good health facilities infact you slept on duty and forgot the people you met on your way up the ladder now you need them on your way down-what a shame
What have you been smoking? Seems like you have a natural hatred of Joice Mujuru. The people of Dotito appreciate the developments that have taken place in Dotito, thanks to Joice. Its too early to write political obituary…only time will tell.
