The recent defection of Temvious and Chebundo from MDCA to Zanupf is a non event. They shall always be viewed and judged as quisilings who masqueraded as revolutionaries and as expected, eventually sold the people’s cause for a few shekels.
When a struggle gets bitter and protracted, the faint hearted and spineless fall by the wayside.It takes resilience, fortitude and commitment to be a true revolutionary who endures to the end. Doctor Morgan Richard Tsvangirayi is such an illustrious good example. Defectors or sellouts are common and are part and parcel of any struggle. Nobody knows this fact more than Zanupf. Zanupf learnt about all sorts of traitors who would betray
the struggle during the Chimurenga War 2 and Zanupf was ruthless in the way they dealt with anyone who was found or perceived to be a traitor. They used quite sadistic and primitive methods of punishing sellouts.Countless people were killed and tortured by Zanupf in underground dungeons where they were incarcerated as traitors in Mozambique during the second Chimurenga War. These are real stories. One of them was Comrade Henry Hamadziripi.
The MDCA is a democratic movement founded on democratic and freedom principles. The MDCA respects people’s choices and don’t use force or fear to make people follow its cause. That is why the world must applaude President Chamisa for accepting with grace,the
defection of Madam Temvious and Chebundo back to Zanupf.
Zanupf have calculated very well the crippling effect that sellouts like Madam Temvious and Chebundo could cause on the MDCA cohesion.As such, we can expect Zanupf to further intensify its efforts to engineer more defections from the MDCA as part of their all out campaign to decimate the opposition led by President Chamisa. The MDCA must therefore be forewarned to be vigilant against these Zanupf Machinations.
