Harare, Zimbabwe. (News of The South)- It is indeed an open secret within the politics of Zimbabwe, and ZANU PF in particular, that all the years that end with a 7, are significant in the politics of the aforementioned.
Starting with 1957,1967,1977,1987,1997,2007…
Historical Facts??
1957: Efforts to unite ‘Africans’ under a single Party, ANC. Joshua Nkomo and James Chikerema meet in the township of Harare.
1967: ZANLA &ZIPRA regroup respectively and realised that armed struggle required assistance of the general mass (POVO). This was after failures of Chinhoyi Battle and other sabotage activities.
1977: The Congress of Chimoio which ushered in Cde R.G Mugabe.He assumes ultimate power by becoming 1st Secretary and President.
1987: The Unity Accord. (History is well recorded)
1997: War Veterans spring to the limelight after the Claire Short pronouncements of March 3. This signalled the official renegement of the British Govt on the Lancaster Agreement on the Land issue.Gratuities for the War Veterans are paid.
2007: After the passing of Ammendment No. 18, which paved way for 2008 Harmonised Elections. The subsequent ZANU PF Conference, resulted in some Provinces for the 1st time in refusing to endorse Cde R.G.
The year 2017.
In addition to the above undisputable facts, it is also indeed a fact that 2017 marks 40 years after the monumental Chimoio Congress of 1977.
For the record, the number forty (40) is also significant.
The No.forty(40) in perspective
*The number 40 is associated with fulfillment of destiny, it also marks the end of an era or a generation.
From a Biblical point of view, all the major kings of Israel reigned for 40 years (see 1Kings 2v11 ; 1Kings 11v42 ; 2Kings 12v1)
* Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights
*Noah’s rain 40days and 40 nights
#NB Ezekiel 4v6 which translates a day for a year.
*The children of Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness
* The list of examples is too long to list…
*** On a lighter note, even in human Science and Anatomy, a pregnancy cannot last more than 40 weeks. Between 36-40weeks, a human being has to be born.
Therefore, 2017 is a culmination of two distinct and significant events;
1. The year ends with a 7, and as exemplified above,
2. The number forty(40), as evidenced by highlighted by the given examples
Thus indeed, the winds of transformation are inevitable. And that transformation is from within.
For the past number of months, we have witnessed an increased activity in terms of resisting and resistance to transformation.
The likes of Professor Robin Hood have taken to twitter, the ‘electable’ nephew has had a busy schedule with the private media, thanks to the Daily News and their spin ‘Khakhi envelope’ Journalist Xolisani Ncube.
Of course, aided by Kasukuwere as known as the big thug ‘Ty’, doing all the dirty work courtesy of being Mai or is it Tete veMusangano.
Thanks to their enterprise, they have tried to hoodwink the generality of the members of the Party and the citizenry at large, that they are only three in their shenanigans, yet, everyone knows that it is(they are) just but the tip of an iceberg.
But let me put it in block, FATE IS SEALED, IT IS INEVITABLE ‘MUDHARA ARI KUUYA’ “MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN”
Even dirty and/mudslinging tactics will do nothing to change the inevitable, no matter how much time U spent on twitter to even beyond 2am.
Scare tactics to innocent and forthright young legislators lives’ and their families will not deter them from pursuing the truth and do service to their country (remember Smith tried to do the same, but alas, it only served the contrary).
Recent spins and efforts are evident that they are now indeed clutching on straws. The writing is on the wall and its there for everyone to see.
The time is nigh, just like the children of Issachar(1Chronicles 12v32), the majority of ZANU PF members understand the times and seasons, and are aware that there is a story at the ‘kuti kumagumo kune nyaya’, BUT, are also aware that where to from here, they are very much conscious of the future of the Party, they are also aware of who is who, and they are also aware of their real cadres.
Dont mistake their quietness for foolishness.
“Vanongoti Chidembo, tamba tamba muswe ndakabata.”
The Masvingo Conference was just but an example of the Peoples’ power.
Maybe, because of the 7 and 40 phenomena, the year maybe called, The year of Peoples’ Power( Gore remasimba evanhu).
