this rocking chair philosphy not only afflict mthwakazi. no sir--ree. look no further than what tsvangilayi is doing in the aftermath of the elections of 29th march. he has abandoned his home in salisbury for a tour of sub --saharan africa. like mthwakazian fellows before and after him, he seeks to lend an ear here and an eye there while fist of fury confounds hims at every turn. this tsvangison is the same man who after being cheated in the 2002 elections on being asked ""what next"" abdicated his responsibilities and said ""it is up to the people to decide"" the people decided nothing. indecision was final and another six years of bob ensued. six years later this same tsvangison is asking the people to decide but not the people of zimbabwe but other despots and tinpot dictators of that blighted continent.why is he not appealing to and leading the people of zimbabwe from the front? why oh why are they not publishing and printing pamphlets to the effect that no matter how hard the shower of fists raining on the people when voting day comes, in the ballot box where you put your cross will be a matter for you, your conscience and your god? why is he not in zimbabwe devising strategies and counterstrategies to nullify those of mu--a--bee and his coterie of hangers on? this is tsvangirayi's rocking chair moment-- yet another one and more are surely to follow.
