The emergence of civil society capitalists

The failure of civil society, emergency of “civil capitalists “ and the slow death of the struggle for democracy in Zimbabwe.

By Silent Mafirakureva

It is so heart touching. The so called donor community, national and beyond should be sleeping and probably slowly dying in their sleep.

We are emerging from a weekend which saw these greedy imperial capitalists gathering  in Bulawayo to celebrate what the “Gordern Agenda “(which he thinks can sound pro-people and people driven by calling it Bulawayo Agenda and sprouting it in other cities with such names as Masvingo Agenda etc) called The Ideas Festival.

It was a busy weekend for hotels and lodges as what has recently been the characteristic of these former pro-democratic movements which have become extremely dexterous  in hunting for the solutions to the Zimbabwean crisis in hotel boardrooms, corridors ,chambers and bedrooms(for research has proven that these gatherings are characterized with extreme adultery and prostitution).

Almost every office in Harare is reported to have been empty, with even the smallest employee in the evil society dashing to Bulawayo for yet another package characterized by these imperial capitalist gatherings: hotel key, meal tickets, per diem etc. 

Well, it came and went just like all other pseudo public processes purportedly intended for the “majority” (maybe we misquote the when they actually mean the majority of them in the civil society.) Over the years the struggle for the democratization of Zimbabwe has been dying a slow painful death courtesy of, the greatest of them all, infiltration.

Infiltration in a number of ways, the CIO has found clever ways to plant its agents to occupy top posts and influential positions in several big and small organizations (of which the list is almost to be finalized by researchers supplying info to this source, just keep watching).

Some greedy elements of the society who claim to have contributed to the “struggle” thus far and auto baptize themselves as the godfathers of the “struggle” have also taken centre stage and found open links to careless donor pockets rewarding themselves with luxury cars and hefty salaries giving a blind eye to the intended beneficiaries which they mention countless times in their project proposals and during lobbying.

There is a silent “donor fund rush” especially against the background that Morgan the populist (who is adamant to listen to Tendai Laxton the pragmatist) in an effort to appear to have been the greatest ingredient to the solution to the Zimbabwean crisis has painted a picture that things are well and thus the donor community is revising its funding strategies and sphere of influence in Zimbabwe and probably beyond.

We now have several distinct classes in the Zimbabwean society, The Bandwagon of dictators in the ZANU PF, the navy ship of optimists (which seems to be sailing further from the docking coast) in the MDC, the ionosphere bound jet calling itself the watchdog (of course capable of barking and not biting) in the form of civil society, the intended beneficiaries of the democratic Zimbabwe.

That the former two purport to be fighting for through same styled monotonous attempts to disband the first , which are the suffering workers, unemployed peasants, the students and the out of school youths. It has become so pitiful that the other classes are continuously pretending to fight for the intended beneficiaries even to the extent of fighting each other both within and without while the intended beneficiaries continue to suffer as the turf of the battle, with their issues having become the spectators. 

It is just a matter of time before the lower class (the intended beneficiaries, the suffering masses) discover the common evil intention of the dictators, the optimists (MDC), the toothless watchdog (civil society) which is ultimate self enrichment which they carefully copied from the non-repentant dictators. These people, believe it, they move around with manuals of capitalism in their dollar infested pockets.

The ultimate failure of the pro democratic struggle can thus be attributed (by any man in his sober senses) to the random sprouting of organizations, joining the broader civil society in the pursuit of donor funding, their embezzlement and the dumping of the suffering masses of Zimbabwe. A loud wakeup call thus needs to be sent to students of Zimbabwe in conjunction with the broader suffering society to fight and disband this intricate web of evil, and its masters.
