MDC-T party is a political brothel: Prof Moyo


Our reporter

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 23:41:00 +0000



FORMER Minister of Information and Publicity and independent legislator for Tsholotsho North, Professor Jonathan Moyo has labelled the MDC-T party a political brothel.

Responding to an article written by MDC-T apologist and journalist, Luke Tamborinyoka in which he was labelled him a "celebrated political harlot" for returning to Zanu PF, Prof Moyo said the MDC-T party was made up of people who previously belonged to other parties.

He said Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai was once a member of Zanu PF who still had not returned his membership card to the party.

"Tsvangirai ... has to this day not returned his Zanu-PF card," said Prof Moyo.

"The MDC-T leadership, including its parliamentarians and Cabinet ministers, have been in and out of an assortment of parties, including but not limited to UNFP, Zupo, PF-Zapu, Zanu-PF, Zanu Ndonga, Frolizi, UANC, Zum, DP, ZIP, Forum Party, UPP, Rhodesia Front, Rhodesia Action Party, NUF, CAZ, and many others?

"Going by the depraved logic of journalists like Tamborinyoka, the fact that the MDC-T leaders ... have previous party affiliations, means they are a conglomeration of turncoats and political prostitutes and that the MDC-T is therefore nothing but a political brothel!

"So, yes, there may be some uncomfortable journalists in that brothel, like Tamborinyoka, who are not happy about my rejoining Zanu-PF, but surely, that’s no reason to take them seriously."

The secretary general of the MDC-T party, Tendai Biti was a founding member of political maverick Edgar Tekere's Zimbabwe Unity Movement (ZUM). He joined an offshoot of ZUM, the Forum Party of Zimbabwe (FPZ) led by former Chief Justice Enock Dumbutshena at its formation in 1992.

In response to an allegation that he was responsible for crafting the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA), among other "draconian laws", Prof Moyo said: "As for the notion that I introduced so-called Draconian media laws, my view is that you are talking about a now-tired and collapsing falsehood.

"As we speak today, the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) as well as the Broadcasting Services Act remain in our statutes not as introduced by me but as enacted by the Parliament of Zimbabwe and recently as amended by the current major three political parties, namely, Zanu PF and the two MDC formations.

"If the journalists you mention are uncomfortable with my return to Zanu-PF against this background, then you can see that they are the worst example of insecure people who fear fear itself. I don’t expect professional journalists to be like that. If you are afraid of fear, then you have yourself to blame."

• Mambosolo, when Tamborinyoka labels J.Moyo as a celebrated political harlot, is that a tolerant and reconciliatory speech? Sometimes I really wonder whether MDC-T is capable of being self-critical let alone appreciate what constitute hate speech. Anyone who's been priviledged enough to access the majority of pro-MDC websites will appreciate that their supporters are no saints but equally liable to the spread of unimaginable hate speech in my opinion. I have seen and read equally vituperative stuff from MDC that I find it laughable to be honest for them to play victim. The bottomline is two wrongs don't make a right and it is plainly ridiculous for the MDC party to claim to be championing the end of hate speech. It takes our collective effort to stop this toxic issues i.e Zimbabweans from all walks of life. MDC-T must simply do their best to change for better our political space without trying to impose their ways in our name.

• mambosolo -The party that led the people of Zimbabwe to be poverty stricken and downtrodden is the MDC-T party which called for sanctions against their own people.Unless sanctions are removed, the people of Zimbabwe will remain downtrodden and poverty stricken. When you have a party that decides to disengage from govt because of one white farmer and doing this at the detriment of the majority, then we do have problems. Moyo is right to highlight the fact that members of MDC-T have joined many political parties over the years. This illustrates the lack of any ideology that underpins their thinking and actions. Describing the MDC-T as a political brothel seems appropriate. Zimbabwe can only be developed when each and everyone of us takes responsibility for our own lives, work very hard and not wait for handouts from NGOs. A prerequisite for a succesful turnaround of the economy is the removal of the diabolical sanctions that have impoverished millions of us. The sanctions are real and do not believe all that nonsense that they are targeted. Google, Zidera Act, 2001 and all the sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by the US are laid out bare for all to see.

• Jonathan Who? This guy must have been planted by the MDC to distabilise Zanu PF. We should be warry of people like him. He said a lot of rubbish when he left us and he thought we were goners. Now, like a real prostitute who always come back when a man has got into money, he comes back when he sees that Zanu PF is back as a force to be reckoned with. I will not be supprised to see him getting out of the party again and attempt to make cheap publicity by denouncing out party. A prostitute can never be trusted. He should never be allowed to take an active role at the expense of true heroes, Mr. Bright Matonga and Mr. Charamba.

• We expect the learned prof Moyo to contribute to the development of Zimbabwe and the upliftment of the downtrodden , poverty stricken masses of Zimbabwe rather than try to please himself by attacking other politicians while currying favour with ZANU PF . Words are empty till the lives of the people improve .
