Disgruntled ZIMTA Chief, Sifiso Ndlovu up in arms with BritaVoice

Despite the threats that Sifiso Ndlovu, the Chief to the Zanupf affiliated ZIMTA has been waging on me; http://www.zimbabwesituation.com/june17_2010.html#Z13

I stand by my writings as published in my last article on ZIMTA;

Infact, further to my earlier article and following the emotional reactions by this ZIMTA male chauvinist, ZIMTA remains nothing other than a nonsensical teacher organization heavily infested by not only complacent but staunch corrupt, egoistic and selfish Zanupf people out to milk the vulnerable Zimbabwean teachers. Whoever decides to join this organization does so at their own peril. If it is an issue of one having excess to their salaries, their moneys is best given to charity than feeding into the ZIMTA subscriptions purse  which is manned by the calibers of Sifiso Ndlovu. Any normal functioning individual would discard ZIMTA into the dustbins of oblivion.

The fact that I aired in addressing Raymond Majongwe as a President in the place of Secretary General of PTUZ is not anything worth beating the drum nor blowing the trumpet all over the show as Sifiso is doing. And the cunning attempts by Sifiso to try to create bad blood between me and the Brussels based Educational International (EI) is not anything I would lose sleep over. In his response Sifiso cunningly tries to drive me out of context and to also enforce words on me, words I never used in my earlier articles. Sifiso, the Zanupf boy granted the status of Chief in line with the Zanupf yardsticks of qualifications and experience and is also a teacher, should be enlightened enough to know that international organizations are institutions not in anyway modeled along the dictatorial type of the Zimbabwean Government related organizations and structures. Grudges are not taken where one is simply posing a thought provoking question; Who is funding ZIMTA? Sifiso cannot bring AIPPA to haunt me here nor can he enforce it on international organisations. Sifiso in his emotional reaction to me also selfishly broadens his role and job description to encompass and co-opt the role of spokesman for not alone PTUZ but for also EI. 

No amount of threats will bring an end to my thought provoking articles. To exert more threats on me, Sifiso has been liaising and teaming up with some Brussels based Zimbabwean CIO`s, some of whom have even been following me up at a local church. Sifiso is instead advised to go back to his Brussels based Zimbabwean CIO`s and inform them that I am not about to put my pen down.

The disgruntled `Chief` and Teacher, Sifiso also degrades himself to the extend of invading my social status. In his article he pompously describes me as a `Spurned Lover.` I shudder to think why a Chief would stoop so low as to introduce love related matters into what is purely a political argument. Ours are no platforms for love related matters. Ndlovu has to know that his best platform for his love related debates over my love life is best placed on the various endless online love and dating sites forums.

As a teacher Sifiso is expected to be able to draw lines of distinction. As not only an empowered woman but also a gender activist, I also shudder to imagine what teachings this male chauvinist is delivering to these our Zimbabwean girl children during his lessons.  A man, whose focus on love related matters is so shallow and blinkered to an extend where he can only imagine that it is only a woman whose love is spurned by a man; and never the other way round. Sifiso is lacking on empowerment and gender issues as he fails to grasp a simple issue that irresponsible and promiscuous men are also spurned lovers.

Let it be clear to Sifiso Ndlovu that, no amount of his effort in introducing love related matters in our political discourse can ever make me consider saving his household through taking him on under my shoulders as a `small house`. Sifiso who is an unknown to me, is through his writings unappealing and badly distasteful to me. In as much as google does not give me much details over him, I would never for anything in the whole world even consider giving him space to accord him a chat with me. If it is an issue of having fallen for my beautiful voice, his best bate to get is to engage into listening to my poetic works. I am however kindly advising him that seeing that his delving into love discourses is a reflection of his frustration in his own love life, as gender activists we are always at his disposal to counsel him and his partner. For when it comes to such issues we know no political affiliation. And above all our counselling is offered to all at no fee.
