Posted by While Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s three-week tour of some European countries and the United States has come and gone, it has left behind a lot of dust over its purpose and achievement, which are now the subject of political mystification and media hullabaloo.
Against this background there are six irresistible observations that stand out as having critically defined the Prime Minister’s mission and which, therefore, warrant critical scrutiny to help clear up the growing confusion and controversy over the tour.
The six compelling observations are these:
l What was supposed to be a Government trip led by the Prime Minister ended up as his ego-trip.
l The tour was hijacked by the United States and its European allies, who suddenly became new-born champions of the very same September 15 2008 Global Political Agreement (GPA) that they, in fact, oppose.
l While the trip was expected to raise critically needed financial support for the inclusive Government’s US$8,3 billion Short-Term Economic Recovery Programme (Sterp), it ended up as a fund-raising campaign for American and European-created NGOs in Zimbabwe that are linked to the MDC-T.
l The Prime Minister transformed the tour from being about seeking the re-engagement of Zimbabwe’s inclusive Government with Western governments to facilitating his own personal re-engagement with the governments of the United States and its European allies.
l To appease his European and American hosts at the expense of the suffering ordinary people in Zimbabwe who are now living like hunter-gatherers, Prime Minister Tsvangirai abandoned the core purpose of the trip which was to seek the removal of the devastating illegal economic sanctions imposed by the countries he visited; and
l The tour was poorly planned, premature and too long.
First, it is now quite clear that, viewed from the standpoint of the inclusive Government as a national body defined by collective responsibility, the Prime Minister’s tour did not have a strategic content that the public could readily identify with.
In fact, the tour came like a bolt from the blue without any visible advance planning or preparation. Added to this, the composition of the Prime Minister’s delegation was made up of novices and lightweights with no diplomatic experience that was necessary for such a high-profile tour with huge national interests at stake.
Rather inexplicably, the timing of the tour was premature, not least because it took place even before the start of the Zimbabwe-EU dialogue for re-engagement at ministerial and official level initiated by Zimbabwe to seek the removal of the illegal economic sanctions and to restore normal relations of mutual recognition and respect. The prematurity of the tour was made worse by the fact that it lasted for much too long.
While some MDC-T propagandists have celebrated the Prime Minister’s extended tour, they have hopelessly failed to appreciate that Mr Tsvangirai’s prolonged stay outside the country in a tour during which he has brought back home precious little and when nothing at home collapsed in his absence has served to dramatically demonstrate his irrelevance as a key player capable of making things happen for Zimbabweans in or outside the country. Any leader who can spend some three weeks away from his country globe-trotting without being missed is not at all important in the everyday scheme of things.
The second observation is that, given the worsening state of the economy that has robbed ordinary people of their national currency, there was no need for the Prime Minister to undertake his extended tour if its core objective did not, by definition, include that he would specifically seek the removal of the illegal economic sanctions that have broadened and deepened the country’s political and economic meltdown.
On this point, nothing would be gained by resorting to the false and discredited propaganda that the Prime Minister did not address the sanctions issue during his tour allegedly because they are an individual matter as they are said to be only targeted at Zanu-PF persons. Even if this claim were true, which it is not, the GPA is clear that all sanctions must be removed and that is enough to enjoin Mr Tsvangirai to uphold all and not just some provisions of the GPA as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe.
But more importantly, Prime Minister Tsvangirai was at the very least expected to seek and obtain from his traditional supporters overseas the removal of financial sanctions against Zimbabwe as a country, and sanctions against companies, some of them listed in various stock exchanges, imposed at the behest of the United States and its European allies directly and through multilateral institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the African Development Bank (AfDB).
The fact that he did not even talk about these sanctions during his tour and, instead, sought to hide under the false cover of sanctions that are allegedly only targeted at individuals, shows beyond doubt that he abandoned the core objective of his tour, given the on-going economic crisis in the country due to financial sanctions targeting the whole country and affecting some of its leading companies. This alone means that Prime Minister Tsvangirai cannot be trusted to represent at all times all Zimbabweans regardless of their political affiliation.
The third observation is that, maybe because he was neither guided by the national interest nor by the principle of collective responsibility in the inclusive Government, Prime Minister Tsvangirai ended up changing the focus of his tour from being about seeking the re-engagement of Zimbabwe’s inclusive Government with Western governments to facilitating his own personal re-engagement with these governments that used to support him for regime-change purposes when he was the opposition leader of the MDC-T.
It is common cause that the Prime Minister’s regime-change engagement with the power establishments in the Western countries that make up the anti-Zimbabwe alliance was dented when he signed the GPA on September 15 2008 and things got worse when Tsvangirai joined the inclusive Government some four months ago on February 13.
No wonder then that the Prime Minister and his hosts during his three-week tour took advantage of the opportunity to re-engage each other in the light of the new situation of the inclusive Government which has resulted in new political dynamics on the ground that they think require new strategies of seeking regime-change from within the inclusive Government.
As such, while nothing was achieved to re-engage the inclusive Government with the governments of the United States and its European allies, quite a lot was done to re-engage the Prime Minister and his MDC-T with the governments of the countries he visited. This is why Mr Tsvangirai’s hosts were happy to shower him with trinkets for the NGO community as if he had gone there as the Prime Minister of NGOs for whom he raised some US$202 million when we all know he went as the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe under the auspices of the inclusive Government.
The fourth observation is that, as a direct consequence of his failure to be guided by the principle of collective responsibility within the inclusive Government, and because of his inability to rise above hostile foreign interests for the sake of all Zimbabweans regardless of their political affiliations, Prime Minister Tsvangirai failed to raise even a cent for the inclusive Government’s US$8,3 billion Short-Term Economic Recovery Programme (Sterp).
Of course, the Prime Minister raised US$202 million for NGOs and when he was on his last visit in France on Thursday, he claimed that how that money he had raised would come to Zimbabwe or who would use it “was neither here nor there” as long as it was coming to the country.
But such a posture is, of course, not leadership material expected of a Prime Minister because it is manifestly juvenile and delinquent in a partisan way and is therefore irresponsible in every respect, however you look at it. Where does Prime Minister Tsvangirai imagine money for Sterp will come from when he was not able to raise even a cent towards the US$8,3 billion he has said the inclusive Government needs to turn around the economy?
The fifth observation is that the Prime Minister’s three-week tour was hijacked and abused by the United States and its European allies who, without any challenge from Mr Tsvangirai, turned it into a propaganda event to opportunistically pose as GPA supporters with Machiavellian pledges that they would consider supporting the inclusive Government only after some “outstanding GPA” issues had been implemented. Indeed, the same dodgy pledges found their way onto conditions for re-engagement that have been set by the EU on its dialogue with Zimbabwe.
What is instructive about this is that the public record shows that the United States and its European allies have never supported the September 15 2008 political agreement because of its unequivocal confirmation of the irreversibility of the land reform programme and its call for the removal of the illegal sanctions and the end of propaganda against Zimbabwe from pirate radio stations that are based in Europe and America.
It is also a public secret that America and Europe see the GPA as an unwelcome triumph of South African diplomacy, which they are determined to reverse even by hook or crook.
Prime Minister Tsvangirai should have understood that the notion that the United States and its European allies are eager to see the implementation of “outstanding” GPA issues before supporting the inclusive Government is akin to the devil quoting scriptures claiming to be eager to go to heaven!
The sixth and final observation is that, from the totality of the issues arising from the foregoing, it is abundantly clear that the Prime Minister’s three-week tour of some European countries and the United States, which should have been a well-planned strategic national trip on behalf of the inclusive Government in the interest of all Zimbabweans regardless of their political affiliation, ended up being an unfortunate ego-trip that has left Tsvangirai exposed as a poor leader who just does not get it.
The unprecedented heckling that the Prime Minister suffered in London from a traditional MDC-T audience was because he falsely presented himself as the only person who has suffered the most in the so-called struggle for democracy in Zimbabwe.
For some reasons the Prime Minister does not get the fact that being in Government is not an individual thing but about being the custodian of the national people’s agenda as an expression of the legacy of the liberation struggle. There are no half-way points or half measures about that: you either get it or you don’t. Tsvangirai doesn’t.
Somehow, and this might turnout to be its only positive outcome, the Prime Minister’s tour has brought into sharp focus the fact that Zimbabweans have over-tolerated the mischief by MDC-T’s neo-colonial donors and media hacks who routinely treat the history of Zimbabwe as if it begins in 2000 and who claim that the worst atrocities in the history of the country have been committed only since and make nonsensical claims that the struggle for democracy in Zimbabwe started in 2000 when people like Tsvangirai supposedly made unparalleled personal sacrifices as leaders of that struggle.
All the European and American leaders who hosted Prime Minister Tsvangirai during his three-week tour, notably Barack Obama, Gordon Brown and Angela Merkel, went to town pushing the neo-colonial line whose sub-text is that the struggle for democracy in Zimbabwe is as recent as 2000 and its trophy is the return of “expropriated white land”.
If Prime Minister Tsvangirai and his MDC-T believe this neo-colonial hogwash and want to make it their own agenda, then they are totally doomed.
This is because the gods will never be as crazy as to allow mercenary politicians to reverse the gains of the liberation struggle by falsely claiming to be leading the struggle for democracy and human rights in Zimbabwe when its true leaders are former colonialists who have never accepted the consequences of their colonial pillage of our country.
Dear Mr Moyo.
It seems it is you that doesn’t seem to get it. For the sake of clarity, It is only the USA who have imposed financial sanctions on Zimbabwe(ZIDERA). Europe, Canada, New Zealand, Australia etc have imposed travel restrictions. It is apparent that those listed on the travel bans are desperate to leave Zimbabwe, WHY?.

Realist.
With reference to AfDB, the following note from its site page says it all.!!
“In 2008, Senior Bank Group officials met with the country’s representatives to discuss possible options for re-engagement. For full re-engagement with the Bank, Zimbabwe will have to meet two pre-requisites, namely the restoration of the credibility of the sovereign state and launching a set of reforms (economic, financial and institutional).
If Zimbabwe meets these conditions, the Bank would classify the country as a fragile state. This would unlock access to grant resources under the African Development Fund (ADF) window and resources under the Fragile States Fund to the country. “

What a place all of us would have had.

This foolish Jonathan Moyo expects Tsvangirai to go and beg money for repairs to what Jonathan and Mugabe destroyed. He is very stupid. Jonathan new about this trip before Tsvangirai left Zimbabwe and he was silent awaitng his return to launch his boring tirades against Tsvangirai. As Prime Minister of Tjolotjolo, why cant Jonathan also make his own trip. This fool never cease to amaize me. There is nothing that MDCT has done correct in Jonathan’s eyes ever since Tsvangirai was born. The truth is Jonathan hates Tsvangirai and he cannot stand the fact that with all the time Jonathan spent in school, Morgan Tsvangirai is now his prime minister. Now get it correctly from me Jonathan, this is the last parliamentary tems that you will be in parliament with Tsvangirai because after the next elections, you will be howling from Tjolotjolo.

Jonathan, Jonathan, I’m so sorry for you. Everyone now expects you to say exactly what you are saying, noone takes you seriously anymore. The West has dealt with Mugabe for more than 30 years, they know him for what he is “clever ass”. They see beyong Mugabe’s murderous tricks, you can not sanitise Mugabe’s evil deeds by Tsvangirai’s honesty, thats what the west is saying. Tsvangirai is honest and naive with a genuine desire for a prosperous Zimbabwe. Mugabe is looking for a way to steal more from the people, white and black, from hospitals, from schools so that he can live a kings life and send his children and his friends’ children to school abroad. Look at the joke called “Presidential scholarship”. Now he wants to go back to printing money so that he can run around exchanging bond paper for real money to stash away in Malaysia. Jonathan has read this new Mugabe move and he want to join in. Johnno wants GNU to die so that he can have a chance at life with the perenial killers.

Jonathan is a bitter man, he hates Tsvangirai with a passion becoz Tsvangirai discarded Welshman Ncube with ease. Jonathan wanted Welshman to control MDC and himself controlling ZPF after installing Mnangagwa but his plans failed dismally and Mnangagwa will never be give power in a zezuru controlled party. Unfortunately everyone ignores him and his tirades will be harmless.
I think you should go hang a 1000 times professor (if you are one) coz whether u like or not MDC-M is mockery to the people of Zim and it will never be anyway near power.
Put all you energies as a consultant to ZPF, but remember they dont need you as much as you need them and they know it and they will always use you but you will never gain anything of substance in ZPF.
Pray that elections will not come coz after all you have done to Tsvangirai, you will not stand a chance and there wont be any gentleman’s agreement this time round.

Both the ZANU(PF) side and MDC T made it the wrong way. In other Gvt trips the press would reoprt that so and so is leading a Gvt delegation but in Tsvangirai’s travel we had that he was sent by Mugabe to go and meet the west and call of sunctions. If it was a gvt issue did not press take it that head of gvt was leading a delegation in a bid to call of sunctions. Leaders of our country need to have our country at heart and not advance their personal interests.
The core reason of fighting to bring about Zimbabwe was an independent country with a fair and balanced system which would not descriminate anyone. What that meant was any deserving Zimbabwean is eligible to become the next President. This must be acxhieved in a democratic manner and means to foil one’s efforts would be undemocratic and uncalled for.
We are faced with a very difficult situation which requires true Zimbabweans with the country at heart and not always aim to criticise one another. In the case of boycott by MDC T cabinet ministers my question is under what circumstances is the the date for such a meeting changed. Does it mean that if our President is travelling then Prime Minister cannot chair the cabinet meeting to ensure that issue of the nation are addressed.
Unity Gvt does not need such levels of mistrust we miss a point and fail to build our beloved country.

Simbimbino upon the case yet again! Folks did I not tell you Tsvangi chituta, whether you claim all sorts of rubbish like “heh heh heh Morgiza stood up to Gushungo, heh heh heh he has balls”. PIG DROPPINGS, utter fresh PIG DROPPINGS, a majority of you core MDC-T supporters are fools like Tsvangi himself.
Machinda we cannot escape the fact that Gushungo will never ever release any power to anybody outside of Zanu let alone inside Zanu itself, doesn’t Nkomo serve as a good example, somebody tell me? Never mind that this article was written by Jonathan, the man is very bright and his points are on the mark. Where are the intellectuals vacho veMDC-T? Hakuna is the answer. People can, and will, die, and the country will burn to cinders, all you will ever hear are stories of illegal sanctions. As a matter of fact there is nothing illegal about them, unlike war, they do not need the auspices of a UN resolution, so there. Saka if the west do want to trade with you, they simply won’t and they DO NOT need the blessing of the UN to do so. In any case what we need to see are meaningful changes that herald the beginning of a new era: we DO NOT need 2 VPs, a PM and 2 DMPs and such a large cabinet, surely we ARE the laughing stock the world over. Breddren I an’ I call ‘pon fi all soldiers of Jah to rise up against these isms & schisms of Babylon. Honestly, people, are we really failing to see the writting on the wall, Tsvangi IS impotent to do anything, and Gushungo knows it, but what he has succeeded in doing is getting some breathing, but we are right where we started: a corrupt and inept government whose cancerous sess pit may easily spill over into the MDCs-T & M. Let he or she with ears hear, mark my words varume nevakadzi, mucha mutsvaga Simbimbino who told you first.

Lest the ruzhinji think that Simbimbino is a Zanu apologist, NO, NEVER EVER in Gushungo’s own words. Zanu has raped, molested and pillaged from it’s own kind. I am merely highlighting the acid test here, for Tsvangi to earn my unreserved respect, he must demonstrate vision, decisiveness, and undomitable courage: anaShiri, Chihuri and Zimondi and crew must be pensioned and retired, and yes give them the immunity to facilitate this, and all those useless donkeys and dinosaurs in Zanu must go to, it they want a GPA or GNU or whatever you wish to call it, they can find middle ground with some fresh junior Zanu cadres, (if they can be found and have not been eliminated naBob). As long as we hold onto some of the deadwood, irrespective of party affiliation, hapana progress.

Zimbabweans are foolish, they go on about how learned they are, thinking they are better thaneverybody else yet the country is burning. To be a good leader one doesn’t need a university degree, we don’t realise how mentally colonised we are. Let’s help MT instead of criticising him like we are liberators of the oppressed. This clown Moyo was one of them before who played a huge role in taking away our liberties, surely how can he even be given space to spew his rhetoric? If that’s what been educated is then I don’t want it.

@Simbimbino, so are you saying if Tsvangirai does not demonstrate vision, decisiveness, and undomitable courage we should all boycot the struggle coz we dont have a leader…??
Who, even the brightest Zimbabweans to grace our country have managed tp challenge Mugabe and win…?? Telll us..?? Hubert Chitepo the intellectual lawyer was one of the greatest and what happened to him …??
U are silly my friend, after you dont have an answer of how it should be done but to criticise MT just like Jonathan Moyo.
We all know that ZPF is a lethal weapon. But instead of criticising MT its better to put our efforts in advising him cause noone of the so called visionary leaders willing to face Mugabe in the trenches except our own visionless MT. So for me, I am better off supporting him than supporting the so called vissionary leaders who are nothing but puppets or plant of Mugbe just like how they used and discarded Simba Makoni.
Dont be fooled Simbimbino in ever thinking the bright leaders will oppose Mugabe, they are actually afraid of him hence they end up being used by him just like Simba Makoni, Aurther Mutambara, Welshman Ncube, Gideon Gono, Jonathan Moyo have been used, they will be discarded later on, it has been like that since 1970s when Mugabe joined the leadership of ZPF.
Tsvangirai is not visionary, is not decisiveness, and does not have undomitable
courage but he is real in his quest for freedom from these ZPF maroon.
I am better of suppport someone I am convince is genunine in his cause than some mischeavous ZPF snakes like Simba Makoni who got his succesful career distroyed within three month when it took him more than 30 years to build it, what a shame.
Say all yu want Simbimbino, but one thing for sure Tsvangirai is real in his cause and is not disguised as some mischeavious ZPF goon. I will not be hoodwinked by these jealously ZPF puppets who are always at him case. They have seen he is within an inch of being head of state.
For you own information Simbimbino, everyone in ZPF is a puppet of Bob and they fear him like hell and they will never stand in his way as long as he is breathing.

Fcuk ZANU naEmmerson, good points & well presented. True Fcuk, people learn from their mistakes, however; one cannot escape the fact that there was no need for Tsvangi to make some of the mistakes that he did, mate believe me, my frustration is monumental, why; it brings me on to what I want to say kuna Emmerson. I do not mind that Tsvangi is a dull imbecile, not at all, but what I despise about this man is WE TOLD him not to do a lot of what he went on and did, chielfy; to appear to soley rely on some intervention from the west. Tsvangi, we told him, you ought to engage rigorously with neighbouring leaders and appear non threatening or as an agent of the west, let alone give the impression that the west will rule vicariuosly through your party. No-one is SADC likes Bob, but Gushungo scored huge brownie points by portraying Tsvangi as a puppet, which he in turn did nothing to dispell, so guess what SADC virtually abandoned us. ZANU has nothing to give us as a nation, these guys only want line their bollocks, again; we sat Tsvangi down and passed him very genuine and useful intell, extend an olive branch to all in sundry in ZANU. Gents I know just how impalatable this comes across, but not doing so, they will simply dig thier heels in, they care absolutely nothing about people dying, starving with no jobs, so if we become vindictive, or give that impression, they will act like trapped animals; and look around us varume, people DIED post Mar/Apr presidential elections because it was do or die for them. What we told Tsvangi was; get the collective backing of the regional players that there WILL be unreserved immunity for all that are given it, yes including anaPerence & Augustine, they are the ones frightened the most. Magents, balk all you want, but the evidence is in front of you, the aforementioned are STILL running t’ings, and big time, WHAT has the GNU produced?
I often say “we”, well that is because varume there ARE people, at home and in the diaspora who are keen to get the country going, on the backdrop of that information, advice, & intelligence is often passed to the MDC; but some say heh heh heh ZANU is trying to infiltrate our rank & file, and if it is not that, they simply ignore it. Maybe some of you guys know it, and choose to ignore, or see Tsvangi in some Messiach light and nothing else, but I challenge you to ask MDC-T party loyalists who will tell you, if they are not boot-lickers like the counterparts in ZANU, and this is the truth, dzimwe nguva Tsvangi simply dismisses advice simply because he wants to and he can. Varume, that is shame, no matter how genuine he is, koh, does that make all of less genuine when we dispense pearls and nuggets of wisdom? Even Obama has advisors nhai varume, so what do we make of those advising Tsvangi? I once wrote here, iether we change the captain of the ship, i.e Tsvangi, or the crew? Magents, let us not just accept, we ALL deserve better from our leaders if we are voting for them.
I remain critical of Tsvangi, simply because my friends and other people I know got tired of thier ideas falling on deaf ears, we ought NOT to be where are today, Fcuk Zanu & Emmerson KNOW that, but I cannot help but get the impression that you are making excused for Tsvangi just the same way as ana Bright Matonga & Elliot Manyika did for Gushungo.
