This is a sick joke: Brigadier-General Douglas Nyikayaramba is telling us the Police, Army, CIO and other Security Agents are protection “our national security interests” by intimidating, raping and murdering our people. What other national interests could these be, more valuable than safe guarding the people’s basic human rights including the right to have a meaningful say in the governance of the country and the right to life itself!
The Brigadier-General is restating the tyrants’ code: “Mighty is right!” and then offering a feeble excuse to justify it. He is justifying the brutalisation of a whole nation denying the people a meaningful vote to stop them voting for Tsvangirai because he is a puppet of the West."He takes instructions from foreigners who seek to effect illegal regime change in Zimbabwe,” the Brigadier-General says. We have all heard that one before.MDC was formed twelve years ago and ever since the innuendoes of Tsvangirai being a puppet have never stopped. Why has he not been brought before a court of law charged and convicted?
The late Edgar Tekere was accused of being a “counter revolutionary” and he and his supporters were haunted. The same happened to the late Joshua Nkomo and his PF Zapu supporters. Tens of thousands of his supporters were murdered to establish the de facto one-party Zanu PF dictatorship.
After thirty years of absolute power this Mugabe-Zanu PF dictatorship has proven once again that mighty is not right. Thirty years of corruption and looting has destroyed the national economy so that basic services like health and education have collapse throwing millions into abject poverty. That is not right!
The people are desperate for change. It is the people of Zimbabwe who want to effect regime change not some imaginary “foreigners”. After thirty years of this repressive rule the cup is full and over flowing. No amount of intimidation, rape and murder is going to stop regime change in Zimbabwe. Indeed that should have happened in 2008 was it not for Tsvangirai’s blundering.
After the sham 2008 presidential run-off most international community took a principled stand not to recognise Mugabe as the legitimately elected head of state. It was clear to Mugabe and some of his cronies that the game was up. None of them believed Tsvangirai would be that stupid to let them off the hook. And for what, the most one sided power sharing agreement ever!
Brigadier-General Nyikayaramba is reaffirming that the Zanu PF dictatorship will use the same brutal tactics to secure another Mugabe and Zanu PF victory in the next elections. The party decided to retain power at all cost years ago, the dye was cast then; it is too late to change now. The reality now is regime change is coming regardless; not even Tsvangirai would be that stupid as to Mugabe off the hook again!
Zanu PF MP, Edward Raradza told his listeners at a public rally, “Jesus beat people in the temple, so we are not the first ones to beat (people),” he said. When the devil starts (mis)quoting the scriptures for his purpose, he must be really desperate.
Jesus drove the money changers out of the temple because they were turning it into “a den of thieves”. What Raradza is suggesting is the money changers driving the worshippers out of the temple so they can turn it into a den of thieves for all time. Mugabe and his cronies may have turned Zimbabwe into a den of thieves and deny the people hope and dignity for thirty years but that is not to say it was right or that things must remain so.
MP Raradza, Brigadier-General Nyikayaramba and a few others are die-hard Mugabe supporters desperately trying to stop something as inevitable as day following night. We should be on our guard, desperate men do desperate things; we must keep a detailed record of their machinations. Smarter Zanu PF cronies know change is coming and they have started distancing themselves from the party’s brutal activities; it is the simpletons like Raradza and Nyikayaramba who will be ones left carrying the bag and the blame!
