Reeling from the humiliating sting felt during the opening session of Communist Occupied Rhodesia’s government, the country’s all-powerful Joint Operations Command (JOC) has reportedly told Robert Mugarbage to form a government without the MDC.
The report comes from an intelligence source quoted in South Africa’s Independent Online:
“JOC has always been against the talks which could result in Tsvangirai getting some executive powers. Remember, JOC is made up of military commanders who have in the past made it public that they will not allow Tsvangirai to be the leader of the country”.
“Immediately after Mugabe’s speech, JOC members ran around and communicated to each other that this was the right time to pressure Mugabe to pull out of the talks”.
“It’s not clear if Mugabe has heeded their advice, but from the way he reacted after parliament, it seems he will announce his Zanu-PF cabinet anytime,” he continued, referring to reports in the state-owned Herald that Mugabe had told guests at a reception that he was ready to form a government.
Forming his own cabinet would kill the negotiations, mediated by President Thabo Mbeki, by blatantly violating the memorandum of understanding Mugarbage signed together with Tsvangirai and Arthur Mutambara of the MDC faction on July 21, to set the framework for negotiations for a new power-sharing government.
“The president is in a quandary. He is well aware that he will disappoint Mbeki by forming his own government without Tsvangirai, but as things stand, he has little option. He is aware more than ever before that he cannot work with the main MDC.
“But he might give people like Mutambara powerful positions and dump Tsvangirai’s MDC, and form a government.
“It will be a difficult decision, but it looks like there is little he can do at the moment. Mugabe’s advisers seem determined and the old man might give in to pressure,” said the source.
