Well, without doubt a lot has been brewing in the month of Fair-Brew-Worry.
True to this coinage, a lot has been brewing but of all the major incidents most have been viewed as seemingly not fair and full of worries.
The theatrics in the political field this week took centre stage with the release of the film- ‘Long Walk to Madness.’ The funniest part of his act was imitating the late South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela.
Social media followers laughed at this and felt that Job had got it all wrong. The social media fraternity has renamed him Job Sikhandela. Everyone including Sekuru VaJandura down in Boterere concurs with my submission that Jobho needs some psychiatric evaluation.
Even his comrades from the yellow station believe he is not mentally right. They got the shock of their lives after he claimed his fellow comrades had abandoned him in jail. Betrayal? However, Chamisa enthusiasts have dismissed this arguing Job was being cared for and even his family too.
He received a standing ovation from the majority of pro-opposition supporters who sympathised with his imprisonment but with all these actions some feel he deserved to be behind bars.
He just held a press conference this week outlining his intention to form yet another political party. These guys are very funny, aren’t they? Many people thought Job and Sikhala was on the Yellow ship together with his comrades outside but I guess his actions and those of Chamisa during Sikhala’s incarceration lay bare that Job had already fell out of Chamisa’s favour.
But why would he decide to go solo and why would he deny the so-called statements about his welfare and that of his family when he was in prison? What is it that has struck his mind? Hope it’s not the ‘senseless’ Chaza prophecies which have acted as catalyst to this political miscalculation.
Sorry, for continuously referring to the Yellow Party, was so used to the yellow CCC with the personalized insignia of the head of Chamisa on the party logo. Chamisa is now divorced from the yellow party, it was left in the hands of the ‘Master of recalls,’ Sengezo Tshabangu after Nero quit the party and, on the road, to forming another party in blue colours.
The reason why Nero chose the blue colour is best known to himself and his avid followers. I think its not about colours but about the person that the people want and it seems Chamisa is the people’s favourite compared to Biti, Skhala and the infamous Tshabangu. No one has cared to tell us why they chose the blue colours.
Probably since he uses the catch phrase, ‘Godisinit’ probably it’s a colour of the skies. Time will tell! It seems as if Job thinks he has a following even if he decides to go solo but I doubt that very much. The drama in the opposition camp has dismissed the allegations that ZANU PF is behind the recalls and that Tshabangu was their stooge.
This is mere infighting in their camp and scramble for relevance in a seemingly ‘sinking’ ship but however the meeting at the new party residence shows that there are still some people believing that the young lawyer and Pastor has the skin to take the reins.
Political analyst and Wits University lecturer from my home area Dr Yingi said, “The majority of the opposition party followers will never follow a deserter so his decision to get off the Chamisa ship would be putting a signature to his political death certificate.’ Even my brother Gwenzi shares the same view. Anyway, its theatrics.
Dear Mutsvangwa was removed from the post of Minister of War Veterans. This has sparked a lot of speculations with others spreading rumours that he wants to let the cat out of the bag. Its mere speculations. His Excellency will forever make the best for the better good of the party and the nation at large. Could it be the press conference he held and mentioned Chamisa more than 70 times? No one really knows what the man popular for his strong words is up to and why he was sacked.
In other stories, She Calaz joined the theatrics on social media by ‘getting back to his senses,’ after Sir Wicknell had skipped him on the list of beneficiaries the luxurious cars he has been dishing.
His crime was to write a post critiquing the ZANU PF administration and Sir Wicknell wrote a post saying there was a musician that was going bto miss a car that was to come his way because of his stupid post.
Everyone knew this was none other than our guy Seh Calaz. He had to repost chronicling his loyalty to the party and in response Sir Wicknell reversed his decision and gave Wicknell his wheels.
The Mabhanditi family had mixed views, with some arguing he had sold out while some think he made the best decision. Come on guys, who in the world would not want to get a….. Seh Calaz has his car and joined the list of other musicians who benefitted the likes of D.J. Fantan, Sandra Ndebele, Sulumani Chimbetu and Jah Prayzah.
Everyone feels proud the day you buy some new wheels what more of… Even here in my hood Maboss purchased a single cab GD6, toils of hard labour. Iyivo haisi yekupiwa. An inspiration to the young and old. Congrats Boss Chibira!
In sport, the AFCON took another level with the semi-finals being at the best. South Africa produced entertaining pulsating football although the final score was against them. Its very unfortunate. The Flying Eagles soared hired and the Elephants also trampled the leopards booking their place in the finals. Its all about soccer.
On the South African game, I appreciated the importance of video assistant referee(var). Technology making soccer entertaining and fair. Let’s wait for the finals! My bet is on Nigeria! Igwee!
