Jestina Mukoko Alive

mukokolead3Human rights activist Jestina Mukoko, who was abducted in a raid on her home in Norton,is due to make an appearance in court.

She is charged with ten others of bombing Harare’s Central police station and a “plot” to violently topple Mugabe.

Most of the charges are based on “confessions” made in the custody of the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO).

The CIO, led by ZANU PF MP Didymus Mutasa, has collected filmed “interviews” with the MDC’s director of security, Chris Dlamini, and Gandhi Mudzingwa, the former Presidential Affairs Director to MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who were both abducted earlier this month.

Mukoko, is the director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP), which collected information on human rights abuses by Mugabe’s security establishment.

On December 9, High Court Judge Anne-Marie Gowora ordered the Zimbabwe Republic Police to produce Mukoko, but in court the police said they didn’t have her in their network of cells.

Mukoko had been due to officiate at a USAID-backed awards ceremony before her abduction by a group of seven plainclothes armed men and a woman.

Two of her colleagues, Pascal Gonzo and Brodrick Takawira, were abducted from the project’s offices a week later.

The High Court judge has already ordered police to immediately release all 32 activists.

The ZPP has played a crucial role in documenting politically motivated violence before and in the run-up to the March 2008 elections, won by the MDC.

Mutasa is a member of the committee of security chiefs, known as the Joint Operations Command.

On Friday, Tsvangirai, in temporary exile in Botswana, said he would withdraw from negotiations to form an inclusive government unless more than 40 abductees were freed or appeared in court.

President Kgalema Motlanthe said last week he did not believe the MDC had been training insurgents in Botswana to topple Mugabe.

    dont be surprised by this killing of oppostion members,Zanu PF is made of thugs who ,after murdering or stealing during Ian Smith’s goverment find refuge in Mozambique joining freedom fighters.so dont be surprised by this trend of abducting and killing,these are killers who were supposed to be hanged by Iam Smith.

    Baz you are damn right..all the ZanuPF bustards should be hanger by they neks:D

    what a mistake by Zanu pf,we will live to regret bringing these abductees to light regardless that they’ll deny them bail….are we revealing the identities of our abductors?.I hope the President has something up his sleeves,we can’t afford to give Morgan T. our country.

    This kind of desperation in ZANU PF just shows the brains we have in our government. They are mis-directing their energies. People want food on their tables, schools running and hospitals with medices and staff but they are busy capturing activists using money that can be used to save a child from starvation or from cholera. This is a clear indication that Mugabe and his party have run out of ideas. Even those planing the violance are now tired because their plans clearly indicate that they do not want to hide the truth. For example, you take somebody from their sleep and then film them saying you captured them wanting to over throw the government yet they were sleeping and not armed. Its ZANU PF that is making these activists heroes and herioins. ZANU PF lost direction is is busy making activits heroes… ZANU PF should put thehir effort on restoring the people’s confidence not what they are doing. ZANU PF is behaving like its not the ruling party, rather they are like an opposition. They are using the same tacticks they used when they were fighting Smith. ZANU needs a wake-up call to let them know the challenges of this era.

    Hama dzangu ndapererwa.So honestly they were languishing in prison while the govt PRETENDED as if they didnt know anything.Look at Jestina’s pictures-my heart bleeds for this poor lady and all the others who have been abducted.I keep asking God why and why is this happening in our country.Please hear our prayers and have mercy Oh Lord….

  7. nicol says:

    instead of wasting our resources with a long court case ,of course she will have a lot of money to pay legal brains money can buy.y not just inject her and her cohorts with cholera.this money they have is as result of selling our country.they ay we r nt democratic lets show them how not to be democratic.i think all this court case is a waste of time ,rememba tsvangirai had a court case but escaped and mayb also biti is to go scotfree.prove a point pliz with this bunch that u have in custody.but seeing her on tv the way she is so frail i think hell bcones on her soon.pliz show us u have balls but if u want to take them to court its beta u release them rather than wasting our time.no court case,no lawyers,they dont give zim us a balanced projection wen they peddle lies to the cnn ,bbc, and their principles.unless u want to make matrys of this bhichi and her accomplices ,take them to court.

    Saka nhai Nicol, maonero ako iwe mhosva ya Jestina ndeyei? My only advice to you is that ZANU PF isinjonjo, you may love it today but that does not make you immune to their eliminations. Vana Gezi vakaita kunge mwana anofarira toy vakangoenda vasina kuoneka. Manyika akati ndirikushandira musangano akasaziva kuti aishandiswa nemusangano. Saka unles you are benefiting from teh system, you may be one of thsoe being used. The regime is making (he)roes and (she)roes every minute. The ZANU Pf gov has become paranoid because they know what they lack.

    Zimbabwe judge orders immediate release of activists
    Posted 24 minutes ago

    A Zimbabwean High Court judge has ordered the immediate release of local human rights campaigner Jestina Mukoko and nine other activists charged with plotting to overthrow President Robert Mugabe’s government.

    Mukoko, a former newscaster who headed the Zimbabwe Peace Project, was picked up at gunpoint in Harare on December 3.

    If found guilty, the activists could face the death penalty.

    Judge Yunus Omarjee ruled that police release 32 activists. Nine of them, including Mukoko, would be taken to hospital for treatment and allowed access to lawyers and relatives.

    Lawyers said there were allegations the activists had been tortured.

    “Their continued detention by whosoever is holding them be and is hereby declared unlawful, and they should be released forthwith,” Mr Omarjee said, referring to 11 people the police deny are in their custody.

    The case could fuel more doubts about implementation of a power-sharing agreement between Mr Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, seen as a chance of rescuing the once relatively prosperous country from economic meltdown.

    The opposition says abductions of activists have continued since a June presidential election run-off in which Mr Mugabe was re-elected unopposed after Mr Tsvangirai withdrew, complaining of attacks on his supporters.

    Mukoko’s independent organisation monitored human rights and had compiled reports of violence at this year’s elections.

    The activists were brought to a tightly-secured court in the capital Harare. They included a husband and wife and their two-year-old child.

    The state-run Herald newspaper said the activists were accused of recruiting or attempting to recruit people for military training to topple the government. Citing a police statement, it said some of the activists had recruited people for training in Botswana, including a police constable.

    It said the plan was to “forcibly depose” Mr Mugabe’s government and replace it with one headed by Mr Tsvangirai.

    So, is Chematama going to return to Zim now that his demand of having the abducted released or brought to court met? Lets see if he is a man of his word OR else he is now going to manufacture another excuse for not going home to help his people who are dying, being arrested mainly because of him. Coward Chematama, hidding from the struggle! Watch and see, today it’s the release of the abducted, tomorrow it’s the passport, then it’s tis and that – just a coward – we need a better leader with better advisers!!

    Moms , shame on you …..It’s because of Zimbabweans like you who don’t believe in their country’s independence and right to self determination that we find ourselves in the present quagmire. Cde Mugabe has always reiterated that Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans …Americans and the British have NO moral obligation to determine our destiny., We’re an independent nation that determines it’s own affairs and yet you find some misguided people like you moms who have no shame in supporting a party (MDC) that is being used by Western countries to make zimbabwe their client state ,torpedo a people’s land revolution and independence..Manje nyaya ye independence ndeyeropa iyi.. Pane vanhu vakafa vazhinji in 2nd chimurenga kuti nyika itongwe nevanhu vatema….Zimbabwe will never be a western client state, never..never!!!! kanganwai ….The spirits of the children who were murdered by MDC sponsors at Nyadzonia, Chimoio etc are alive and they will forever defend what they died for….The Western sponsored stooge, tsvangirai is now at a catch 22 situation, he’s cornered, ..Britain and United States who desperately want to scuttle the power sharing deal are now pressing the puppet to reject the deal , on the other end , if he walks out on the deal, he becomes an outcast of Africa, a Savimbi who will live like leeper in Africa.Nyaya yekusadzidza iyi…You see, moms problem iripo kana munhu usiri in charge of your own destiny, you will get into these inenviable situations…Stupid tsvangi was instructed by his British and American handlers to castigate African leaders now he has isolated and discredited himself..Nobody in Africa now takes that western puppet seriously.He can travel from Cape to Cairo and from Somalia to Liberia but he will not achieve anything because he’s now discredited as an empty vessel with no mind of its own….Moms you must know that it is because of sellouts in the MDC who fascilitate western interference that the crisis in zim has dragged on for close to a decade… You allowed yourselves to be used by Rhodesians, Apatheid remnants and the British who were reacting against Cde Mugabe’s resolute decision to acquire land from British settlers and give it to the landless black majority…Moms, Britain reacted to the land dispute with Harare by launching a campaign to dislodge zanu pf from power . MDC was used as a tool to gloss over Britain’s disregard for its lancaster house land obligations.Tsvangi and his supporters were used to support false British allegations against Harare of human rights violations, lack of rule of law etc .These racist whites in Britain and United states want to avenge the defeat they suffered at the hand of the black majority in 1980., and they are using clueless tsvangson in the process., they see tsvangi as a stooge who they can easily manipulate to protect their racist interests nekuti chakapusa…..Saka moms nyaya dzekushandiswa idzi ‘being used’ , you and your party mdc are the worst fools in africa in being used by Europeans and americans to defend their interests at the expense of yours……i always say Its better to be used by black pan africanists in zanu pf than to be used by racist white rhodesians who oppressed us yesterday

    fungai. You are a black racist. A racist is a racist regardless of the colour of their skin.

  14. Ngwaru Mapundu says:

    Fungai why dont you comment on the extrajudicial detention of Jestina and others.This is abuse of power by the state and cannot be condoned at all.This is the main reason MDC wants the Home Affairs ministry.It seems in zimbabwe the separation of powers between the executive and the judiciary is not transparent at all. Its all messed up and if Zanu PF wants the MDC as a partner they need to do better

  15. Greg Mlambo says:

    Fungai,you surely does not use your brains to think!Why do you always want to blame everything on the British and Americans?Kana mukadzi wako akatadza kubata pamuviri you also blame the British or Americans forgeting that it will be you who will be hopeless and powerless!!Moms wavati nanga nanga navo uchisiya Mugabe vatadzei?Seiko vanhu imimi musingade kutaurirwa kana kutaura chokwadi?The problems we have in Zimbabwe were purely caused by Mugabe and all in Zanu pf.What is independence without freedom?In anyway,are we independent if we depend on donated food,medicines,water,books and human resources(doctors without borders)?Why are we using the USD if we are an independent republic?What do we have to show that we are independent?For your information,Mugabe’s reign has been more brutal to both black and white Zimbabweans than that of Ian Smith.For you,you cant feel it because you are one of those people inflicting the pain onto fellow Zimbabweans.Mugabe is no different from the apartheid leaders of South Africa.

    Contrary to what you are saying,Tsvangirai is our liberation hero.He has fought hard for Zimbabweans to be liberated from Mugabe the dictator.Why do you want to portray a picture that Mugabe owned the liberation struggle and hence should own Zimbabwe?The struggle belonged to Zimbabweans and noone owned it including Mbuya Nehanda!What more Mugabe?Tsvangirai, and not Mugabe belongs to the same group of liberation heroes with the likes of Mbuya Nehanda,Sekuru Kaguvi,Nkomo,Chitepo and others who stood for the wishes of Zimbabweans.Mugabe does not stand anymore for the wishes of all Zimbabweans but for his family and a few in zanu pf.I doubt whether he cares about you at all!!Tsvangirai has contributed more to the freedom of the peoples of Zimbabwe than Mugabe.Look at Jestina Mukoko’s case.In your sober senses do you really believe the accusation that this woman was recruiting people for banditry training in Botswana?What evidence is there when there are no such training bases in Botswana according to SADC investigators?Jestina has only been brought to court after Tsvangirai has made the demand.Tsvangirai has saved Jestina from the jaws of Mugabe’s men.It is Mugabe who the people of Zimbabwe are afraid of and not the British or Americans.Why do you whisper a lie to yourself only to believe it loudly?What has Mugabe still to offer to Zimbabweans at 85yrs that he failed to do when he was younger and the country was sound financially after inheriting it from Ian Smith?Nothing, and as such Mugabe should give way to Tsvangirai for new and better ideas.

    Why do you people want to talk trash about the land issue?Ko arikukurambidzai kurima ndiani zvamave neland?Rimaika vanaFungai!!Hapana anopokana nezveland but does it make sense to take all the land from a white person who was doing productive farming and give it all to a black person like you Fungai who doesnt practice any farming at all on the land?Hazvina basa kuti murungu ane land kana mutema,chinodiwa kurima kwete kuchera mbeva nekuteya mariva.Fungai usazvinyepere,mudhara wako Mugabe hapana zvaachaita ikozvino zvinemusoro pasina Tsvangirai.If anything,it is Mugabe who needs Tsvangirai more than vice versa!Leave moms alone,she is far more intelligent and reasonable than you,a Mugabe bootlicker with no shame!Mukore uno uchiriswerotipwetere pwetere Mugabe?Shame on you ,Fungai,haufungi.

    Greg Mlambo , i’m much better because i have zimbabwean values i respect like land reform , respect for the liberation struggle and those who liberated the nation, respect for the nation’s cultural heritage, respect for children who died at chimoio, nyadzonia etc, black economic empowerment., respect for the nation’s chiefs and sacred lands….What about you Greg, you’re certainly not going to say that you respect any of these Zimbabwean values, because you have no values of your own just like your uneducated, ugly leader tsvangi , you’re used by outsiders to trash all the above mentioned values.MDC-t and their supporters lack a basic ideology….You BLOODY IDIOTS…..Rega nditange kubata one by one…First, the land reform programme..Greg you know very well that the whites in the MDC want ‘their’ farms back and Britain which sponsors tsvangirai also want land given back to its settlers., you have no guts to deny this fact because rhodesians and apatheid remnants who sponsor mdc , the australians, the americans, the british, new zealanders have categorically said they want land given back to white farmers therefore Greg you’re not in support of land reform…..Secondly, Greg, the party you support has no respect for the liberation struggle of their own nation., high ranking mdc-t officials have in the past blasted the liberation struggle and the veterans who fought in it., Thirdly Greg, you have no respect for the children who died at nyadzonia, chimoio etc because if you had, you wouldn’t allow yourselves to be used by the west to reverse the right to self determination they died for., if you had respect for them , you wouldn’t accept dirty money from the rhodesians who murdered them. Next , Greg you have no respect for the nation’s culture and chiefs…madzishe vanhu vanofanirwa kuremekedzwa patsika dzedu dzechishona nendebele..now , MDC-T officials and its supporters have categorically stated that they don’t have any regard to the cultural role madzishe play….mdc-t leaders have even submitted names of chiefs to be put under sanctions by Americans ….Uku kushaya unhu chaiko, zvinonyadzisa izvi…Next , Greg you don’t have the guts to talk about pan africanism because you support a pro imperialist party that being used by the west to torpedo pan africanism..in case you don’t know, pan africanism basically means that Africans solve their own problems without interference from Europeans and americans…Therefore Greg you have no respect for pan africanism because if you had, you wouldn’t rely on the former oppressors in the west everytime to make decide for you…Mapenzi evanhu….Zvimbwasungata.. if you had respect for africanism you would never support MDC that receives dirty money from former oppressors in britain…. if you had respect for pan africanism you would never defend neo colonial interference by the likes of jendayi frazer, condoleeza rice ,mcgee, gordon brown , bush, sarkozy etc….If you had respect for zimbabwen values , Greg you would never support people who’re being used by Britain and United States to frustrate a black land revolution(ironically, the impowerment of your fellow blacks)…If you had respect for africans, Greg you would never defend a western stooge , tsvangi who blasted african leaders publicly in the most despicable way…..If you had respect for blacks and africans you would never castigate african organisations like african union, sadc etc….Therefore Greg i have exposed you for who you are…..An idiot who trashes his own zimbabwean values or he doesn’t understand them …..A fool who doesn’t respect his own cultural values , prefers to have regard for values of outsiders……..It will be very interesting if you respond telling me exactly what your values are , that go in line with all the people in MDC-T including Rhodesians and Apatheid remnants.

  17. Tell me some of you people does Morgan T have to go to school to learn how to kill people and coz colera in our country if you go to our countries dams and rirvers you will see there are dead bodies thrown down there tied with a rock and then this water is ment to feed our main pipes in to cites and what ever is ment to and tell me that water is ment to be sweet water for the people to drink one day all these lovely stories are going to come out in the open and i tell you all hell will brake loose for zanu pf i feel sorry for you you will taste the wrath of the people of zimbabwe they are going to set you alight this time they will beware your days are very much numbered

  18. Sekuru Gudo says:

    Fungai, its a pity that instead of taking part in a debate, you have decided to use insults to people who have different views. The facts on the ground reflect that there in no single system in Zimbabwe that is working ie health, agriculture, education and law and order. This is a fact. No amount of name calling will change this fact, Fungai. Yes, I know the next excuse you are going to say is to blame it on the British and the Americans. What measures did Mugabe put in place to protect the Zimbabwean people against the effects of economic blockage?. Nothing. The economy of Zimbabwe is based on agriculture and thus it came at no surprise at all that after grabbing land from seasoned commercial farmers (regardless of their skin colour) the economy of Zimbabwe went to its knees. What I am stating here are facts Fungai, not insults.

    All that the MDC is offering is an alternative way of running things. Period. Everyone in Zanu knows that Zanu can not win a free and fair election. Once again that is a fact. All the violence and abductions will not change people’s hearts and minds. History has shown that one day all the unholy things that are done by governments will one day brought to the open and justice will take its course.

    Its a pity that 15 armed men had to pull a semi naked woman from her bed. Our culture will not forgive those fifteen men and such actions will hound them until they go to their graves. I wonder if the word brave can be used to describe these men.

    MDC will rule one day and the more Zanu pf hangs on to power, the more crimes it will do against humanity. I feel sorry for the men and women who being paid to do Zanu’s dirty work. Pakapera hondo ngozi nevanhu vaipenga nekuuraya vanhu vasina mhaka hamuna kuvaona? I sincerely pray that people like Fungai are not singing praises to Zanu because you are being paid to do so. Vana Bona havasikuuraya vanhu asi venyu ndovarikunzi kill MDC supporters to defend our revolution!!!

    Lastly, Fungai I would like to let you know that we can engage in a healthy debate without using abusive language. Leave the insults to people like George Charamba and Jonathan Moyo who wrongly believe that insults make them sound tough.

  19. Baba says:

    fungai.You say that MDC recieves dirty money from former oppressors in Britain and America.At the moment your idiotic president and useless government is recieving dirty money, aid, medicines, doctors and help from these same countries. It is these so called dirty countries that are keeping Zimbabweans alive as your useless idiotic government and president will not help your own people.The country is been run and surviving on dirty western US dollars because your own usseless money is not even worth wiping your backside with.
    You say you have respect for black empowerment and land reform but what you actually are doing is zanu empowerment and zanu land reform. How about people empowerment and people land reform?
    You are the BLOODY IDIOT here. It is because of your stupid values that this country is in the mess that it is and it is because of your stupid values that you idiots no longer have the support of the Zimbabwe people. You need to think of the Zimbabwe peoples values of which you stupid fools are ignoring which is why you idiots are and always will fail.

  20. Saved says:

    What Zimbabwe needs now more than ever is GOD, let us pray for our leaders to know GOD (The fear of GOD is the beginning of Wisdom). Our solution is not in the GPA, its not in Tsvangirayi, America or Britain but the answer is in Jesus Christ on Nazareth. Let us ask the wonderful, counsellor, The might GOD, Prince of Peace, to take the Zimbabwe situation into his hands and bring PEACE. Let us pray and ask GOD to give us a GOD fearing Leader. Have a Merry Christmas and please us let keep praying.

    Fungai u are high sounding nothing.all what you have been hoping for has crumbled before your eyes.you had thought Mugabe will rule forever and you and your Zanu PF stoogies comrades continue to plunder Zimbabwean resources.Thanks for God,he will always change the cause of events.
    As for the land that you are always talking about,why is Zimbabwe starving when land was given back to the blacks?a person like you can not see how people are suffering and dying.you live in your little world ,just like your out of touch president.you live in the west and enjoy economies that are well managed and speak evil about Britain and America.these are countries who put their people first,selfless leaders.your president has murdered and starved his own people.what a leader!people like you go lenghts licking his ass.you are a disgrace to Zimbabwe.spend your energies somewhere else.Mugabe is history,i know its a bitter pill for you to swallow.

  24. fungai says:

    Sekuru Gudo…,What we’re saying is that Western nations led by Britain and United States must stop interference into our internal affairs…If there was no interference , zimbabwe would not be in this situation….They have campaigned relentlessly since 2000 to dislodge zanu pf from power and reverse the country’s independence to make it their client state…The present political crisis we find ourselves in is a direct result of Western inteference , using puppets like Tsvangirai and hisMDC-T cohorts , who are instructed to prolong the political stalemate…You know very well that our political problems could have been a thing of the past in september then we would have focused all our energies on turning around the sanctions battered economy…but tsvangi and the MDC were instructed by their U.S and British handlers to reject an african deal they had no problems with (personally themselves)It is because of sellouts in the mdc who facilitate western interference that we find ourselves in a crisis that will drag on for years to come….There is no nation in the world that has a serious political crisis and at the same time having a prosperous economy…Zimbabwe’s political crisis was precipitated by western nations, using puppets in MDC when they were reacting against our land reform programme…Of cause , as zanu pf we’re not blameless, we’ve made some mistakes but the MAJOR reason why we’re in this situation is because of interference.The political crisis we plunged in inturn caused the destruction of the economy as the polarisation disrupted economic activities…Look , as a result of interference, we have not had a cabinet for close to 9 months, who suffers??All the gvt departments in agriculture, industry and commerce are not functioning because there are no substantive officials in charge becoz of the political stalemate that could have ended months ago if it wasn’t for interference ….This crisis could have ended IF ONLY people in the opposition were in charge of their own destiny and joined power sharing gvt without any regard western thinking…, the major reason why we are in the present situation is becoz of interference by the likes of brown , bush milliband, sarkozy, frazer , rice etc, prolonging the political crisis by disrupting our political settlements among ourselves as zimbabweans…IF ONLY there was no interference, believe me , we would still be prosperous and economicaly productive and self reliant becoz there would be unity of purpose without anyone being used by outsiders.., there wouldn’t be any ruinous political crisis to talk about, everyone would be building the economy…Countries like Iran and Cuba who are facing the same western hostility can defy the sanctions and laugh because they have no sellouts in their midst like in zimbabwe who facilitate a political crisis in their own home..Vanhu ve ku cuba neku Iran vanoita mushandira pamwe becoz they know that theirs is a just cause and they will never allow emergence of puppets to tr**** a political crisis that would ruin their economy…This is not the same scenario in zimbabwe, there are sellouts and western proxies in mdc like you Sekuru Gudo who are instructed to precipitate a political crisis so that the economy suffers and they oust the ruling party…..Look , tsvangi is being pressed by Britain and U.S to walk out on the deal but who suffers from that?? his own supporters…..Nyaya yekusadzidza iyi..

    I think Fungai is one of those who are just lost. Mugabe is using the colonial rhetoric to suppress his own people. When Smith was killing blacks we called it racism. When Mugabe kills blacks you still call it imperialism. What a shame. When we got our independence we thought we were free not knowing that Mugabe and his thugs think they own us. Its a shame that some of us who went to war fought for black freedom, one man one vote but that has been erooded by greedness seen in some opportunists. We now have leaders of war vets who never crossed a boarder to liberate the country. How many white are being tortured in Zimbabwean prisons if Mugabe is fighting whites? In democracy people should have oppossition parties that save as checks and balances. What Fungai does not know is how the so called sefl styled war vets became popular and started to hold Matibili hostage. Its was not because Mugabe and his gov were doing the right thing but it was because Hunzvi had told us that the money for compensations was being abused and being taken by the elit. That is where Mugabe lost all his power and he knows who to bribe in -order to stay in power. If he really thinks what he is doing is right, why is he killing, rape and torture? Why is he pushing for a GNU if he thinks he is the legitimate leader of teh country/ If Morgan is a sellout as broadcast by Mugabe, then why is Mugabe not forming a govenment without Morgan and life in Zimbabwe should go on.

    One thing that people like Fungai do not know is how much the Russians and Chinese do not like blacks. They are the worst racist in the world. Right now in Russia, black skined people are being killed. In China during the olimpics, they drove blacks out of the scene saying they taint the image of China. When China is giving Zimbabwe weapons, they know we are not at war with any white country but they know we will use the arms against our own brothers and sisters. Look at what China is doing in Sudan. CHina is taking minerals recources in Sudan in exchange of weapons and not anything else. In DRC, they are trading weapons in exchange of diamonds. Whay is CHina giving Zimbabwe weapons and not oil, food, medicines or all those commodities that Mugabe is crying foul by saying sanctions are biting. If Russia, China or any other country really like Mugabe, why are they not supplying what ever Mugabe was getting from the west. As it is, Mugabe is saying the country is suffering because of sanctions, so why is Russia not stepping in to make the west irrelavant and give Mugabe the recources he would have gotten from the west? Why is Russia violating dark skinned people? Why is China giving Africa weapons and not medicines? Funga, you say sanctions are biting we do not have medicines in hospitals, why is China nnot proving such basics if they really love Africa. China is the worst enermy of Africa because China is taking aways Africa’s minerals and ivory and trade with weapons. Its a shame that Mugabe has dicided to sacrifice his people in the name of imperialisms. LIberation parties in Africa have shown that they are poor economic managers and they should have handed over power to economic managers because they are still in a fighting mode and ZANU has lost direction. Its eating the same people it is suppossed to protect. If Fungai you are one of those who are benefiting from teh regime then you are lucky. But for war vets like me, my heart bleeds because we fought for equitable redistribution of recources not to just give it to the elit. Those who really needed teh land still need it. Those who need hospitals and schools they still need them yet the elit’s kids are getting forex and go out of the country. Its just a shame that the current hawks in ZANU PF did not fight the liberation war. The realy war vets know our guiding principles and we all agree that ZANU PF lost direction. Mugabe surrounded himself with looters who will do anything to protect their loots. Saka Fungai unoti Sibanda (who was 8 at independence) and Chinos vakarwa hondo kupi? Even Manyika, Gezi, Matonga, Chombo, Chinamasa etc. Vakarwa hondo we know what we fought for and we do not have running mouths. Mukuru akakanganisa kuisa pedyo naye vanhu vasina kumbobata pfuti. All war vets and even Mugabe knows that the likes of Jabulani and Chinos are not popular in the ranks of ZANU PF. Vakomana varikomhanya nebhora mu ZANU are just kids nowonder they are also kicking the bucket in mysterious circumstances. Our ZANU PF leaders have lack of wisdom

    well spoken moms,dont waste your time on Fungai.he/she is one of the people who joined Zanu PF as a political springboard.he will go to his fullest extent to defend a crumbling pie.too bad Zanu PF is a sinking titanic which will never be rescued,i am afraid.what have your friends AU,Sadc,China and Russia done,nothing.its the same Mugabe and Fungai’s enemies EU,USA and UK who are supplying Zimbabwe with much needed help to control cholera and hunger.

    you must have benefited a lot from a corrupt and ineffective regime to the extend that when MDC came into the picture to share that cake it didnt go down well with greedy people like you.unfortunately MDC is here to stay even longer than you and i.

    Moms, muri mu war vet???, i reserve my comments………..Anyway, can you kindly answer the question i asked Greg Mlambo earlier about zimbabwean founding values.Can you tell me exactly what are your values that don’t contradict with values of white Rhodesians, apatheidists in the MDC….Mind you these ideals must be ”founding zimbabwean ideals”..Because as for me , my own values go in line with all my party(zanu pf) principles and everyone in the party adheres to those principles……

    Moms dambudziko ratinaro rakatanga nekuda kwekuti ZANU PF yakaita vamwe vanhu more elit ikakanganwa ma war vets. Some opportunists like Chinos and Sibanda took advantage of that. Tichine varungu vangani in Zimbabwe now? Kutora munda kumurungu uchipa a few elit blacks is not different from the way land was distributed before independence. Dambudziko rema ZANU PF hawks who joined ZANU PF after 1980 is that vanoda kufadza mukuru vachiisa nyika kuma were. Ndiudze one real war vet ane hunhu va Chinos. Mugabe played to the west. Kana varungu vasingatidi saka kuuraya sisi vako nemukoma vako zvinoita kuti mangezi akude here? Plus kana varungu vachitirwisa do they kill some of their own like whats happening in Zimbabwe. Fungai what you should know is that Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans and not for dead Zimbabweans. Libya rubished the west asi yakaramba ichiita zvido zvevanhu. Manje vanhu vakatenderedza Mugabe vakatanga kuti west kuti vavhare kuba kwavarikuita. Food aid chaiyo is being looted asi tikati imi Chombo uyo arikuba motanga kuti its the west. Inini I support a well planed land reform kwete kungobvisa murungu uchiisa murungu mutema… that was rubish. Chinos closed industry and turned avekuti ma whites akavhara industry. Now we have no food but we have unproductive land owners why? Gono has been giving them farming impliments but those reciving them have been selling them saka chii ichocho. Chinos akagicha mombe dze dairy and then turns oti tashaya mukaka nekuti kwe imperialism. We have many levels of irresponsible behaviour in Zimbabwe. Mbavha dzaowanda ne imperialism and forget kuti we nolonger have whites on the scence. Some are being told white will come back, from where when they were killed and some settled elsewhere. Sei muminda musina chirikubuda isu takapiwe seed ne RBZ? Sei Chombo akawanikwa ane food aid asi nothing happened. There has been a lot of looting and looters are being set free yet we cry foul. Mugabe loves dependence with the west inotobhhowa. Kana muchiti sanctions are biting handiti kuda trade ne the west. Why can we not be self reliant and stop fighting our brothers and sisters? Fuel yakashandiswa na Chino achiuraya vanhu Buhera dai akarima mupurazi make handiti ngadenge tine maguta. The primary focus ye ZANU is now on power consolidation and not thinking about the people. Mugabe is obsessed with the west nekuti he is saying pakapera hushamwari hwake navo ndipo pakatanga nhamo. Nepashoma arikuti Zim can not do without the West. If sanctions are biting then Zim as a country we can not survive without those impossing sanctions on us saka tirikuitirei manymwe kuruma ruhoko rwatinoda kuti rwutipe food. China haina sanctions with us but all they know is to give us weapons to finish our black race. Can you imagin kuti nyanga dzenzou dzedu dzakaperera China kuti tipiwe weapons… for what? To kill defensiless citizens? Ipapa China needs market for its products like weapons and they found ready market in Africa. Suda pfuti dzirikurira kupedza black race using weapons from China. Hondo mu Africa is mainly because of tragic leadership failures and such leaders use weapons to stay in power. Ukaona baba vanotengesa nyanga yenzou to but pfuti yekuuraya munhu asina pfuti pakaoma ipapo. Fungai tell me one real war vet who behaves like Chinos or the late Manyika or Jabulani Sibanda. That speaks volumes. When was teh last time mukuru talked abut the suffering of the people? Morgan is being made a hero by Mugabe nekuti Mugabe declared himself enermy of the people my realizing soldiers to the villager who have no weapons. Mari yakatenga pfuti from China yaivaka ma bore-holes mangani. Tarisa Fungai kuti who in Zimbabwe benefited from the DRC war? Saka why did we commit so much of our country recources to a war that only benefited JOC? Mugabe arikuvhara vanhu mese achiti he is fighting imperialism with one one and teh other is looting. Wana Funga makangoisa meso pa rhetoric muchisiya reality

    Moms muchanditadzisa kurara nekuseka..!!!……My question is why are you in a party that contradicts your own personal values…You see the aspect that i always say that it’s becoz of desperation , that you turned into supporters of that western sponsored MDC….Let me focus on a phrase you stated in your response….You’re now echoing my sentiments that ”Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans” and yet you’re in a party(MDC) that says Zimbabwe for outsiders., former oppressors for that!!!.., a party that disregards its own country’s independence, a party that is not in charge of it’s own destiny, a party that cannot survive on its own without western backing, a party that’s not able to make it’s own decisions without instructions from britain and united states, a discredited puppet outfit whose battered image continues to worsen due to the supremacist behaviour of it’s american handlers like jendayi frazer(remember her utterances on sunday that left her naked in shame a few days later)…Therefore , moms it seems you lack a clear understanding of what it means , to say ‘ Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans”… In a nutshell, it means bopoto rinoitika munyika medu tinogadzirisana toga without anyone resorting to outside help becoz tave nyika inozvitonga yega…Moms , if you support mdc becoz of desperation , you’ve to wake up becoz you’re being led down garden path by your own leaders, fighting a cause that is not yours………..

    Fungai, who told you I’m in MDC or ZANU PF? Its ZANU PF whose mentality of elitism that I do not subsrcibe to. Ndinoteshamiswa nana mafikizolo vanoda ZANU PF kunge mwana atengerwa xmas toy. All hawks in ZANU PF ndivana mafikizolo mbavha who joined ZANU PF after 1980. Ini ndinoda kuti ZANU PF iite as it preaches ie hell ne west. Kana wati hell ne west saka why cry foul kana west yabvuma kuti iri ku hell… sanctions. Nguva yehondo waiti ukapiwa pfuti yakabva China wotoziva kuti death nekuti inoramba kurira when you want it to. I do not like Chinese and Russian nekuti all they trade with Africa is weapons nothing else. China and Russia found market yema weapon in Africa kwavanoda kuti tipedzane. Unoona kuti kune vanofarira death of a fellow Zimbabwean nekuti ane different view. Pipo should know kuti different views dzinobatsira kuvaka. Iyi yekuti tese tiite zviMatibili yaifambi.

    The only news on the net that makes sense…

    So justina is alive -we all knew that. Justina and others like her have been given the go ahead by their masters to create the neccessary conditions for an attack on zimbabwe-they have been told to go out and cause civil disobedience. Why is morgan not leading from the front? he is hiding in botswana while people die for him.He just wants to come home in his pristine Italian suits and walk to the statehouse.In the meantime people like justina have suffered-ordinary people are dying in numbers from cholera. People do not only have to die as a result of violence for it to be a true disaster..morgan pulled out of the june elections claiming people were being killed as a result of political violence. At the most 60-80 died from march -june 2008. Compare that that to cholera deaths -a direct result of sanctions that he supported.Compare that to people like justina who are fighting his war for him at home —zanu pf is not blind.Zanu pf is not just mugabe -it is more than half of zimbabwe and all these people know what is going on on the ground.

    Morgan is a man who is badly advised. He will never be president of zimbabwe-never ever.I hope someone else can become president when the almightly retires because morgan is not the one.

    please lord as the new year begins -help our people , our country find its way out of this current madness. why do we have to be told by milliband-brown-bush- tutu how to run our country and who to choose as leader? Who are these people and what do they want from zimbabwe? There fake help to help themselves only makes things worse…please get out of our country.Morgan to be fair you are better off in botswana-we dont need to see your ugly face here in zimbabwe..

    coup or no coup you will not last as president.That is a fact. If you become president , it will be the shottest presidency in living memory.We have been informed…

    Has anyone noticed that these people come from Zvimba where Mugabe was trounced in the March Elections.I mean his own people refused their own son and Accepted Tsvangirai as the future leader.Mugabe is still crying , why why mother Bona deserted him in his hour of need.

    So the plan is to destroy the MDC structures in Mash WESt. and then the rest off the provinces will follow.It was embarrasing tyo be rerjwcted by your own people.Hats of to the people of Zvimba you are very courageous bto stand to the truth.
