In light of the looming 2023 elections, Zimbabwe stands at a precipice of a daunting reality under the grasp of ZANU PF, a ruling entity whose actions echo a sinister narrative of despotism and lawlessness. This pivotal event is viewed as the inaugural stride by ZANU PF towards a totalitarian state, a prospect that augments the nation’s whirlpool of crises.
ZANU PF’s nefarious undertakings have rendered the state incapacitated, a scenario swiftly evolving into state failure. This unfolding disaster doesn’t only spell doom for Zimbabwe but extends its dark clouds over the region, threatening to engulf it in a storm of chaos and instability.
The first casualty in this ominous venture is the supreme law of the land, which is perpetually besieged by ZANU PF’s unrelenting violation and desecration. This supreme law stands as a formidable barrier to ZANU PF’s ominous quest for a one-party state, a system that nurtures the vile desires of those illegitimately in power. These are individuals whose unchecked access to both fiscal and natural resources propels the looting and plundering spree, leaving the nation’s coffers and natural endowments nearly depleted.
As the supreme law continues to suffer mutilation, the fundamental human and property rights are cast into a dangerous limbo. The populace, both the naive and the enlightened, find themselves entangled in a grim reality where protection from a predatory state is but a fleeting illusion. The unscrupulous propaganda spewed by ZANU PF finds a fertile ground among the uninformed, while the enlightened electorate sees through the smokescreen, albeit powerless against a government adamant on retaining power illegitimately.
The unfolding narrative reveals a stark contradiction between a government’s duty to uphold constitutional liberties and its perilous ambition to entrench autocracy. As Zimbabwe marches towards this critical election, the stakes are sky-high. The road ahead is treacherous, with the ghosts of authoritarianism, lawlessness, and an illegitimate quest for power casting long, menacing shadows over the land’s future. The 2023 elections could either be a stepping stone towards salvaging the nation’s crumbling edifice or a gateway to an era of intensified tyranny, a reality that could plunge not only Zimbabwe but the entire region into an unprecedented calamity.
