We must talk and never forget the victims of Mugabe's campaign of terror and murder!

We must talk about millions of innocent Zimbabweans, mostly in the rural areas, whose lives have been turned up side down. Since 29 March 2008 Election, they have been harassed and forced to attend all-night political rallies, Pungwe, where they are harangued by Mugabe thugs “re-educating” them NOT to vote for Tsvangirai again in the run-off. We must talk of the hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans who have had their homes and properties destroyed by Mugabe thugs. Talk of the thousands who have been brutalised by Mugabe’s mad-dogs. We must weep and say a silent prayer for the fifty who were brutally murdered and, in many cases, had their bodies dumped and left to rot as if they were nothing more than a dead sewer rat.

How can any one do such a thing to another follow human being? We must tell these thugs that they will have to answer for what there are doing. Many people in the past have committed heinous crimes against our people and many times their have been allowed to get away with it. Not this time!

For three decades many of our people have held positions of power and authority in Zimbabwe. So why, oh why have none of them used their office to stop the madness that has completed ruined the country and dashed our people’s hopes and dreams of freedom, liberty, economic prosperity and life! Zanu PF chefs and all Mugabe and the party’s cronies have a lot to answer for the years of deafening silence and/or indifference to the cries of suffering Zimbabweans.

Mugabe has held this nation to ransom for too long. His hands are dripping with the innocent blood of thousands of innocent Zimbabweans all for the sake of political power. It has been Zimbabwe’s worst curse to have such a man as Mugabe to hold the highest office in the land. As the man behind all our suffering and death, as the man who deployed the war veterans and other party and state organs to terrorise, intimidate and murder our people – Mugabe must never ever be allowed to get away. He and the apache of assassins must be brought to book.

If we do not talk about the victims of this well orchestrated campaign of intimidation and murder for selfish political gains then what else could be worthy of our time and sweat. What else could be more important than human suffering and human lives? To those who have lost their lives, to those who have suffered at the hands of Mugabe’s thugs and to who have lost a brother or friend; you are not forgotten. You matter a great deal and there can be no better way to say that than so talk of you now and to seek justice on your behalf tomorrow.

To Mugabe and his thugs – you have had a good long run and your time is drawing to a close; there is nothing but a few grains of sand left in the timer. It is now reckoning time. It is a great pity that your evil deeds far out weigh the good you have ever done. Your attempts to forestall your hour of reckoning by holding back time and bloodying your hands with even more innocent blood are fertile and only serve to harden the resolve to see you all pay for your sins against the people of Zimbabwe. And pay, you must and will!
