Former Finance and Economic Development minister and losing presidential candidate in last year’s elections, Simba Makoni, has dismissed reports of his expulsion from the Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn (MKD) movement.

In a statement Makoni’s spokesperson Denford Magora defended Makoni’s record and dismissed accusations of mismanagement that led to Makoni’s expulsion calling them ‘spurious and false’.

“What we would like to assure the nation, however, is that Simba Makoni refuses to be distracted by these persons who are clearly driven by an anti-democratic agenda.

“Those who know Simba Makoni will attest to his commitment to democracy, good governance, transparency and respect for the people. This was, indeed, the reason he left ZANU PF in February 2008″,read the statement.

makonihAddressing a press conference in Harare yesterday, MKD mobilisation committee chairperson Kudzai Mbudzi said Makoni was kicked out of the movement by its national coordinating committee for allegedly failing to provide “leadership and direction” to the movement.

Mbudzi, who alongside MKD national coordinator Ibbo Mandaza and provincial executives have been fighting with Makoni over control of movement resources, accused the former finance minister of being indecisive and holding an ambivalent position that “indistinguishable from Mugabe and ZANU PF.”

“We, the founder members and the provincial leadership of MKD, therefore hereby declare Makoni is with immediate effect relieved of his coordinative and administrative duties, functions and responsibilities at the strategic apex of the MKD movement,” read the committee statement.

    Once Zanu always Zanu. including Tsvangirai, Dabengwa etc. Once a Zanu always a Zanu, including majority of Zimbabwe from those provinces that put Zanu in power in the first place

    I AM GLAD I WAS NEVER ASSOCIATED WITH ZANU PF IN MY LIFE

    As for the Makoni issue, well its just further dilapidation of a dilapidated conglomerate of an assembly which had Zanu PF mandate to delay the peoples’ project, as was revealed by Dumiso Dabengwa in 2008. Those who may not have read or dont remember Dabengwa’s statements: he said their main objective as Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn was to thwart the then clear march of MDC-T to governance of Zimbabwe. Zanu PF decided to form MKD to split the voters, and all those that currently appear in MKD register inclusive of Dabengwa agreed to that and they did exactly as requested by their master, who is Zanu PF under Mugabe. Immediately after Makoni announced his intention to “contest as a presidential candidate against Mugabe” many political myopics ululated saying Simba kuvanhu. We are therefore glad that this group of “saviours” is splitting like a deck of new cards.

    Let them go and disband enmasse, and if it was possible that they dissolve and permeate into thin air and remain there, we dont want to hear about them anymore. Maybe Zanu PF can recall them as they executed their task well.

    I am glad I was never and will never in my life time be associated with Zanu PF, to me this is like purity; something I am proud of and will always tell my grand-children about it. I hate Zanu PF and everything associated with it with colossus, immense and gigantic passion.

    Mutambara never partook in the presidential race and one wonders how and why he sneaked into the equation of the all-inclusive government. It was daylight robbery that should be castigated in the strongest of terms.

    Makoni cannot e trusted. He is in the same league as Jonathan Moyo, Welshman Ncube, iye Mujuru wacho and Mnangagwa. These guys enjoy tossing people’s minds.He is a spineless aspiring politician. Kana kuriko kudzidza kwacho veduwe how many months before forming a political party. Makoni akangofanana nemhute, zhizha rapera naiyewo aenda. What a shame? Zanu, Mujuru, Moyo, Makoni and Mutambara are all Zanu PF. Hanzi we can challenge Mugabe pfetseki wenyu matsotsi evanhu. Taneta nematsotsi – rega hake Dabengwa went his own way, coz he saw that hapana chekumirira when relying on the likes of Mujuru and Makoni. Imbodza dzevanhu.

    I think its a way for them to disbundle their successful project because for zanu it worked very well they took MORGANS votes and gave them to Makoni and there was no ultimate winner. So its time they disbundle their project and they are trying to create sort of skirmishes so that they will have something to say about the death of MKD project. These people think they will always trick us each and every day of their lives but we know a zanu pf is always a zanu pf and we know that they try by all means to use the same old tricks that worked for them but they should know they are not going to swallow MDC T whilst we look we know your tricks zanu

    Traitors will remain so and nothing can change their true colours. They shall be exposed so that they will never again be able to manipulate events in Zimbabwe which have led to so much suffering for our people. They will be thrust to the dustbin of history to which they rightly belong. (Along with the Jonathan Moyos / Arthur Mutambaras of this god-forsaken world!!! )

    baba black sh.i.t. No one has vanished. Have been going around zimbabwe looking at all the damage you monkeys have created. What a depressing sight. Didn’t take you baboons long too destroy the country. Ethiopia is in a better condition than Zimbabwe. Without Western aid you idiots are truly stuffed and just goes to prove that you can’t do anything for your selves. You will forever rely on hand outs from the western world. Sorry to burst your bubble but you really are as useless as you have always been and that will never change. zanu is finished and now they are relying on MDC to fix the mess that they created. It is not going to happen. You have an idiot for a bank governer who spends millions printing new 100 trillion dollar notes and then a few weeks later knocks off 12 zeros making the new money useless. A monkey has more brains than that.

    Baba while you might have a valid point of view, it is rather disturbing to see a black man refer to another as monkey and baboon. Further-more your sentiments that we cant do anything for ourselves seems to suggest that you do not view yourself as part of the group. You rather identify with another race, culter or society (who knows)

    What is even more disturbing is that there are a lot of people who think like this.

    You have to know from this day on that by holding such negative views on your own people is an insult to the one who made them. HE NEVER MAKES MISTAKES.

    Remember, having problems or inabilities of any kind does not mean we are doomed for ever, but rather a challenge for each and every one of us to start building that which was destroyed.

    I used to see a lot of people like you in the 80′s who used to Mabhoyi this Mabhoyi that.

    You are identifying with the agressor
    You have a negative self image
    You have a low self esteem
    You have low expectations
    You do not encourage any one.
    You cannot lift up your brother

    Instead of wasting time writing rubbish here a lot of you. should be out there working on your dreams.

    It is those dreams that are going to build Zimbabwe.

    We should all be exchanging ideas and helping each other out.

    PAMBERI NEVATEMA. PAMBERI NE ZIMBABWE.

    WE WILL RISE FROM ALL THIS RUBBLE AND BE THE PEOPLE TAHT GOD INTENDED US TO BE.

    PEACE……………………………….

    ZVAZVAITA . You are correct in saying that i do not view myself as part of your group.I have never been a part and never will be a part of your useless zanu pf monkey group.You say that it is a challenge for each and every one of us to start building that which was destroyed. Atleast you accept that the zanu baboons destroyed everything.What you failed to mention is that it is up to the MDC to repair the damage that you idiots created.zanu is full of problems and has no capabilities of any kind which is why they are doomed for ever.You are correct in saying that zanu idiots should not be called baboons as that would be an insult to a baboon.They are lower than baboons, they are savages.

    My expectations are extremely high and are met on a regular basis.
    If you new me then you would see my true self image
    I do not encourage zanu savages and there idioligies
    No member of the zanu savage regime is my brother or in anyway related to me and so i will not lift any of those savages up.
    The only dreams that are going to build Zimbabwe which are dreamt by the majority of the Zimbabwean people is the death of that savage mugabe and is little savage followers.

    zanu savages will never be a people that God intended them to be.
    zanu savages do not have any ideas to exchange exccept for rape,murder,thieving and begging which is why so long as they are involved the country is doomed and the rest of the world have finally opened their eyes to that fact.

    merit. What makes you think that all those people who left Zimbabwe will want to come back when they have now made new lives for themselves in their new countries.They have no shortages of anything,Are earning a good living,Have nice houses,Nice cars,Lots of cheap food,Plenty of cheap beer,No harrassment, and most of all ,THE RULE OF LAW.

    I have travelled to America,UK,New Zealand,Australia and met up with a lot of ex Zimbabweans both black and white.They have new and exciting lives in these countries and they now do things that they could never do when living in Zimbabwe.They holiday on a regular basis in places that they could never have afforded when living in Zimbabwe.Their children are getting first class education and are safe.The majority of these proffessional people who made Zimbabwe what it was before those zanu idiots destroyed it have given up their Zimbabwe citizen ship and become citizens of their new countries.If you think that any of these proffessional people are going to come back then you are horribly disillusional.Their lives are far better than they have ever been and will ever get in Zimbabwe.
