In the most bizarre explanation, even by Zanu
PF’s sick standard of blaming the victims of the regime’s own failures and
tyrannical repression; Nathaniel Manheru cum Mugabe spokesman, George Charamba,
blames victims of xenophobia attacks.
“We have, as Zimbabweans, this nasty habit of
soiling our beds and then stealing into someone else's bedroom, to borrow
warmth, salubrious airs and sleep which the owner has laboured to prepare and conjure,"
wrote Manheru.
“Once in there, we not only foul the new airs through our un-wiped hands; we also excoriate the bedroom we have deserted, we have soiled, as if it was never home. As if it will never be home again. The late Achebe put it so well. Asked if he will ever consider leaving Nigeria for a better world elsewhere, he answered: Nigeria is where God in his infinity wisdom planted me. I will never leave it for someone else's better home, a home which he has taken the trouble to scour clean. Of course, after a crippling traffic accident, Achebe found himself in US, but for medical reasons. He died bound to a wheelchair, that great Nigerian.”
The millions of Zimbabweans in the diaspora left the country because they soiled their home; that is a complete distortion of the truth and reality. Zimbabweans, who could leave, have left the country in droves because they have found themselves assailed by a regime that has systematically denied them a future, their basic freedoms and rights including the right to regime change and even the right to life itself.
Over 30 000 Zimbabweans have been murdered by the regime for selfish political gain. And in the last week the violence has flared up again with all the ugliness of the 2008 presidential run-off.
Yes it is true that MDC-T is participating in the 10 June 2015 by-elections "by stealth".

"But there is another level of
absurdity,” commented Manheru, “with the nomination over and the stage set for
a campaign for the said by-elections; Tsvangirai goes on a campaign trail,
ostensibly to explain to his constituencies why MDC-T is "boycotting"
the by-elections, fundamentally to participate in those by-elections by
stealth!"
MDC-T has chalked a number of rallies in the
coming weeks in the run-up to the by-elections; which for a party boycotting
the elections it is rather naughty, still it is not a crime. Zanu PF has
reacted to the rallies by viciously attacking the MDC-T supporters who attached
the Glen View rally.
Glen View; here is a sickening sight of yet
another innocent victim of Zanu PF mindless violence! ( from Zimeye)
The MDC-T’s “No Reform No Elections” rallies
are to explain the party's eight reform demands but sadly even if Zanu PF
implemented all the demands the country will still not have free and fair
elections. The reforms MDC-T is calling for are so wishy-washy Zanu PF will
have a thousand and one other ways to render then ineffective. MDC-T is demanding that no serving or former
security service personal should be appointed in ZEC, for example. That is no
guarantee that ZEC will be competent and none-partisan since Zanu PF will still
have thousands of other hard-line party loyalists to pick from!
But to
underline just how wilfully inadequate the MDC-T reforms list is; there is
nothing in the list to put an end to the country’s culture of wanton political
violence! Nothing!
Three and half decades of Zanu PF incompetent and corrupt rule have destroyed the country’s once upon a time vibrant economy. Today the country is facing a crippling economic meltdown; only the few ruling elite have grown filthy rich whilst millions have been forced to live in abject poverty without hope.

No Manheru millions of Zimbabweans have left
the country not because they soiled the country but because Mugabe and his Zanu
PF thugs soiled the country and the stench is overwhelming. The xenophobia
attacks in SA means those Zimbabweans who had escaped to that country are now
being forced to go back to the skunk stench in Zimbabwe.
