Till next October, Morgan.

Of course, there will be little noise from Mr Tsvangirai’s handlers in Europe and America to justify the letters they received from their puppet but the game starts and ends there.

THE UN deputy spokesperson, Mr Farhan Haq, was very diplomatic in his response to MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s hallucination that the international body should not recognise the assignment of Ambassador Chitsaka Chipaziwa to head Zimbabwe’s Permanent Mission in New York.
He said: “The appointment of a Permanent Representative is an internal matter for a member state — which is to be decided upon in accordance with the provisions of its own domestic law.
“Ambassador Chipaziwa was properly accredited as Permanent Representative of the Republic of Zimbabwe to the United Nations Headquarters in New York on June 28 2010.
“We will be bound by the letter of his accreditation until advised otherwise by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
The statement was short but loaded. It was a short lecture on international relations and how governments operate.
Unfortunately, Mr Tsvangirai can’t read between the lines due to his well-known challenges.
The imagined “constitutional crisis” that he rumbled about last week has remained in his head while it has been business as usual in Government.
Reports say Finance Minister Tendai Biti went ahead with his usual meetings with the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Dr Gideon Gono, the man that Mr Tsvangirai says his party will not recognise as Governor.
It looks like Mr Biti, as Minister of Finance, has come face-to-face with the realities of operating in Government and will not take the nonsense from his boss.
While Mr Tsvangirai continues to talk about “restrictive measures”, Mr Biti boldly declares that Zimbabwe is under sanctions.
On the other hand, in Cabinet it was business as usual with some MDC-T ministers attending the weekly meeting.
Of course, there will be little noise from Mr Tsvangirai’s handlers in Europe and America to justify the letters they received from their puppet but the game starts and ends there.
In the meantime, the African Union and Sadc have chosen to ignore Mr Tsvangirai while South African President Jacob Zuma has sent his team for the routine meetings.
The response that Mr Tsvangirai has received since issuing that reckless statement about a “constitutional crisis” in Zimbabwe should show him that he is fast becoming an international embarrassment.
But it looks like “Tsvangirai zvinomubata in October” because over the years he has made glaring blunders in the month of October.
In October 2005, Mr Tsvangirai’s actions led to the split of the party when he disregarded the decision of the party’s national council on participating in the Senate elections.
After the national council had voted 33-31 in favour of contesting the elections, Mr Tsvangirai said: “Well you have voted, and you have voted to participate, which as you know is against my wish . . . I am therefore going to announce to the world that the MDC will not participate in this election. If the party breaks, so be it. I will answer to congress.”
Indeed, the MDC split into two and Mr Tsvangirai was not bothered at all. Of course, that fatal decision — that clearly exposed the MDC-T leader as a dictator — came back to haunt him in the 2008 presidential elections.
Then last year in October, Mr Tsvangirai made a fool of himself when he announced that his party was withdrawing from the inclusive Government without pulling out of the Global Political Agreement.
The party said it was withdrawing from Government due to the indictment on terror charges of its fund-raiser, Roy Bennett. The move was received with laughter from many quarters with people questioning why the MDC-T was prepared to sacrifice the whole country just because of one white man.
At the time, President said: “. . . you will always get people in any arrangement who are guided by little emotional thoughts and act in accordance with them and who would want things to go their way, and not the national way, and not the agreed way.”
After a few days, the MDC-T came back into Government although nothing had changed because Bennett’s case was still on. It looks as if Mr Tsvangirai did not learn a thing from that embarrassment.
After Tsvangirai’s circus about a “constitutional crisis” last week, President Mugabe clearly showed that he was fed up with the MDC-T leader’s immaturity.
He said: “I am reluctant (to extend life of the GPA) because part of the things that are happening (in the inclusive Government) are absolutely foolish and stupid.”
The President later described the move by the MDC-T as “politicking” which is “absolutely nonsensical”.
He went on to indicate that due to the “foolish and stupid” behaviour by the MDC-T, elections should be held next year.
Reports say Mr Biti, who was against the statement that Mr Tsvangirai gave about the “constitutional crisis”, is not amused by his boss’s behaviour.
It is understood that Mr Biti wanted to give his opinion on the matter, but Mr Tsvangirai did not give him a chance to make an input. No wonder why the statement had glaring legal loopholes that any law student would have picked up.
See you next October dear Morgan!
