Gorden Moyo should revisit the GPA

MINISTER of State in the Prime Minister's Office, Mr Gorden Moyo's interview denying the existence of sanctions against Zimbabwe, clearly demonstrated the apparent hypocritical philosophy that runs deep in the MDC-T: lies, deception and bribery. Such a philosophy at the centre of the MDC-T actions will prove to be its Achilles’ Heel.

Mr Moyo had the audacity to blatantly refute the existence of sanctions against Zimbabwe. How else can one describe the inhumane ZIDERA? Who is he trying to fool? Mr Moyo should re-read the Global Political Agreement, which acknowledges the existence of the crude sanctions regime.

This point grows in importance when you consider the fact that Messers Tendai Biti, Elton Mangoma and Morgan Tsvangirai duly appended their signatures to acknowledge the total Global Political Agreement package with the accompanying sanctions narrative.

To turn around at this point of implementation and say actually that "sanctions do not exist" smacks of amateurism of the worst order.

Mr Moyo should understand that the GPA has exposed the MDC-T circus and Zimbabweans are much wiser. Come election time, no amount of bribery will save the MDC-T from oblivion.

MDC-T must learn their lessons very fast. Judging by the blunders they made in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) yesterday, one wonders whether they ever learn from their mistakes.

Here is a political party that says it trusts South African President Jacob Zuma as the point man on Zimbabwe and at the same time sends a delegation to lobby the region to adopt an anti-Zimbabwe stance. This is unbelievable, to say the least.

How is President Zuma supposed to reconcile such actions which undermine his supposed intentions? No wonder why the MDC-T delegation was embarrassed in DRC.

Again Mr Moyo was at the centre of deceptions claiming that Sadc will hold an Extra-Ordinary Summit on Zimbabwe. It turns out that Sadc referred the matter to a commission and not an extra-ordinary summit.

To make matters worse, the party president Mr Tsvangirai had the audacity to announce that he was in DRC as leader of the MDC-T political party, not as PM in the inclusive Government. This is interesting.

Sadc summits are for heads of state and government and not political parties. Again, I blame Mr Moyo and PM's spokesman James Maridadi for fundamentally failing to advise the PM.

The PM should really reconsider his advisers' integrity as he is made to hop from one mistake to another putting his credibility on the line.

A word of advice to MDC-T: If they thought President Zuma was on their side, then they are in for a rude awakening.

President Zuma and his ANC party have correctly identified MDC-T as useful case study tools in a grand project to neutralise the Cosatu turncoats from forming a party the MDC style.

The intelligence so freely gathered, courtesy of the MDC, has been put to effective use in neutralising the COPE party and Cosatu has been hugely weakened beyond repair.

Talk of political acumen! Zuma is a man on a mission. Watch this space.
