Amai and Baba Jukwa ... hapana asina ropa sungai vose

Amai and Baba Jukwa is one and the same. Well, if not the same person, the concept is the same –

they both were faceless to most until recently when we were told that Amai Jukwa is Edmund Kudzayi.

Or according to the police (read as Zanu-PF) the same Edmund Kudzayi is also Baba Jukwa.

They both thrived (and still thrive on rumours). They get kicks from lambasting hapless, helpless and innocent people (some times).

The only difference, maybe, is that Amai Jukwa came on facebook with so much hate and willingness to destroy the former reserve bank governor Gideon Gono. 'She' claimed that Gono stole the gold coins at the bank. 'She' claimed a lot of things against Gono.

Then came Baba Jukwa – all out to take on Zanu-PF. The die was cast. While Amai Jukwa had all the time and space in state media to castigate, swear, deride and belittle Morgan Tsvangirai, nobody seemed to care. Week in and week out every Mondays. Day in and day out on facebook, Amai Jukwa sought to character assassinate the opposition.

'Her' opposite, Baba Jukwa took on a different angle – taking potshots at Zanu-PF. Both lied through their teeth. 

Although Baba Jukwa's promises and confidence that Zanu-PF would win came to nothing, still Zanu-PF is angry. They think it's them alone who feel the pain; them who can't be derided; them who can licence people to call others names; them who can control reactions? 

The question is: Why is ZRP (read as Zanu-PF) only concerned with Baba Jukwa and look the other way where Amai Jukwa is concerned?

Pane asina ropa here? Pane munhu wesimbi here anotukwa or even kunyeperwa akanyarara? If Zanu-PF feels wronged, so should Tsvangirai and all those who received loads of shit from Amai Jukwa, who is now known to have been a Zanu-PF operative.

Why is Zanu-PF frantically hunting down Baba Jukwa while turning a blind eye at Amai Jukwa? Both caused panic and alarm. Amai Jukwa started it. So 'she' needed an equal force to counter 'her'.

When Amai Jukwa surfaced on facebook and then immediately followed by Baba Jukwa last year, I posted on my wall that the idiot who allowed Amai Jukwa to write so negatively about people - especially Gideon Gono whom 'she' accused of stealing gold coins at the reserve bank – was indirectly responsible for the birth of Baba Jukwa.

I also pointed out that the fact that there was a part of Zanu-PF supporting Amai Jukwa even though 'she' was writing lies about other people meant that the other part of Zanu-PF had to create Baba Jukwa.

This is how it is because Zanu-PF today is a mass of dying cells that does not know what is happening on the other end.

Whether Amai Jukwa, who has been positively identified as Edmund Kudzayi, is one and the same as Baba Jukwa is not for me to say because whoever created these Jukwas as well as all those who supported them are daft.

But in a country where the abnormal is normalised – the acceptance by the state media to accord Amai Jukwa column space every Monday is just one of such acceptance – the hunt for Baba Jukwa while Amai Jukwa is dined and feted is nothing.

If Baba Jukwa is not Edmund Kudzayi, and whoever it is, leveled the playing field. Amai Jukwa should not have been allowed to run riot into people's lives without a countering force.

Zanu-PF licenced Amai Jukwa and so Baba Jukwa did not need to get one from Zanu-PF. Still the question remains: why not arrest Amai Jukwa too? Why waste money on one evil while letting the other go free?
