Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats*

A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening.


A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.

 

Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos. They are good and articulate in arguments but they lack the moral authority because they don't value truth.


Every political leader is surrounded by tumbocrats. They are the noise makers in social media and around leaders defending them. They peddle lies en create propagandas . They confuse the public from knowing the state of leadership.


Currently we hv more tumbocrats than elected leaders. They r the modern face of corruption and bad governance. The more tumbocrats a leader has, the more s/he is corrupt.


We need to identify and shame tumbocrats in our society. We need to avoid them in any discourse on governance or development. We should not allow their noise to deafen the collective call for justice, transparency and good Governance. *If you are a tumbocrat, shame on you because you are killing your own people to feed your insatiable belly*

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor.

We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

When a government buys off trendsetters—like influencers, celebrities, or thought leaders—for selfish or self-serving reasons

When a government buys off trendsetters—like influencers, celebrities, or thought leaders—for selfish or self-serving reasons (e.g., to manipulate public opinion, suppress dissent, or promote harmful policies), several consequences can follow: 1. Erosion of Public Trust: People may begin to distrust both the trendsetters and the government, especially if the manipulation is exposed. This can create widespread cynicism and disengagement from civic life. 2. Distortion of Public Discourse: When influential voices push misleading or biased narratives, genuine debate and informed decision-making suffer. This weakens democratic processes and polarizes society. 3. Suppression of Dissent: Paying trendsetters to promote government agendas may marginalize or silence critics, undermining freedom of speech and weakening resistance to poor or corrupt policies. 4. Short-Term Gain, Long-Term Instability: While the government might benefit in the short run (e.g., winning elections, suppressing protest...
