It should guarantee a leader who should be a unifier, shun corruption, who should take the country out of this current economic situation,\u201d Mathibela said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe absence of a clear succession plan and total disrespect of seniority in the party is creating an environment that will eventually breed chaos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not what we were taught as cadres when we were in the bush looking forward to a great new Zimbabwe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the cumulative effects of decades of unmitigated syphoning of State resources through scam tenders, questionable judicial judgments and other malpractices as well as the rise of a quasi-political criminal mafios whose crimes are never brought to book, only for these same criminals resurrecting in the positions of authority and superintending over the very same laws they contravened has made the independence the war veterans fought for a farfetched dream.<\/p>\n<p>Mathibela castigated the recently held war veterans\u2019 congress saying it was done by a puppet executive against a court order with an intention of electing people who were going to endorse the ED2030 mantra, indicating that the leadership is focusing on being gatekeepers to keep the war veterans out of the gravy train.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sham so-called war veterans congress must be disregarded with the contempt it deserves as it failed to represent the majority of war veterans and falls short of what is expected of war veterans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The factional leader castigated the new land policy which talks about the sale of the land, questioning who would benefit from it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout 80% of the war veterans do not own land. We did not go to war so that we will sell land. Whose benefit is it and who are selling it? It\u2019s like getting on a bus with a board written Mutare, only to realise once inside that it is headed for Masvingo,\u201d Mathibela said.<\/p>\n<p>He said their organisation had stayed away from politicking and grandstanding and said they view themselves as the vanguard of the ideals they went to war for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Zimbabwe Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
