Over 500 still missing since 2008 violence - a far cry from 200 MDC reported!

More than 500 people are still missing since the 2008 election violence in Masvingo Province alone, according to a Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation report. The Organisation called on Zimbabwe’s National Healing and Reconciliation Organ resolve these human rights violation before the next elections.

According to MDC, a total of 200 people throughout Zimbabwe were killed that year.

This is the party that initially reported that Tsvangirai had won 61% of the presidential vote in the March 2008 vote. The party revised down the total downs twice making it ease for the world to accept the Mugabe result which gave Tsvangirai the lead but short of the 50% plus one to avoid the presidential run-off. MDC’s incompetency is simply amazing – the party had access to all the results and they could not even use a calculator to add the figures!

Still one expected MDC to be diligent when it came to counting its own supporters who had given their very lives voting for the party. Many of the victims of the 2088 political violence were MDC supporters. Clearly this report shows that once again that MDC can not be trusted to produce a complete and accurate list of the murdered victims. They could not care less!

“This toothless national healing organ should start doing something to resolve tension between the victims, relatives and the perpetrators. People out there are not ready for elections. They still have fresh wounds and memories of the barbaric activities of violence in 2008,” said Mukura the Organisation’s Director.

Godfrey Mtimba (Daily News Reporter) you are too kind to describe the National Healing and Reconciliation Organ as "largely moribund". Mukura is being honest in describing it as “toothless” organ. Mugabe saw to it that is was just that – a toothless organ.
What I find really amazing is how Tsvangirai and his MDC friends signed on to being a party to the Healing Organ. The party pick its own comical clown Mai Sekai Holland to be the MDC Minister in this charade. She relished the spotlight and she would shut up about the “excellent” work of the organ was doing. Time has proven than the Organ was just another toothless arm of an equally toothless GNU and all Minister Holland’s grand standing was nothing more than the proverbial frog boasting of putting out forest fire with it fart!
