PERENNIAL wisdom from divine revelation and human experience dictates
that all earthly things great or small, beautiful or ugly, good or bad, sad or
happy, foolish or wise must finally come to an end. It is from this sobering
reality that the end of executive rule has finally come for Robert Mugabe who
has had his better days after a quarter of a century in power (Jonathan Moyo)
That Mugabe must now go is thus no longer a dismissible opposition
slogan but a strategic necessity that desperately needs urgent legal and
constitutional action by Mugabe himself well ahead of the presidential election
scheduled for 2018 in order to safeguard Zimbabwe's national interest,
security and sovereignty (Jonathan Moyo)
But the most compelling reasons for Mugabe to resign now have to do with
his own fallen standing in and outside the country. The prevalence of unkind
jokes about him on text messages and the Internet say it all. Mugabe now lacks
the vision, stature and energy to effectively run the country, let alone his
party. He is without compassion, maybe because he is now too old, too tired and not in
the best of health (Jonathan Moyo)
Because Zanu PF’s irresponsibility has caused it to
fail to protect the national interest and because Mugabe is apparently
determined to thrive under that failure in pursuit of his personal ambition to
be president for life, it is now up to Zimbabweans across the political divide
to rise to the challenge by finding a united front to stop Mugabe and his
cronies from turning their self-indulgence into a national catastrophe (Jonathan Moyo)
