“The thugs came in a twin cab vehicle that had no number plates with three people in front and 10 others sitting at the back around 12 midnight and demanded that the guards open the office doors. After the party officials refused to open the doors, the thugs fired gunshots and one of the MDC members, Edson Ngwerume was hit in the chest.They sprinkled petrol around the building and set it alight.”
In one of the “re-education” meetings, on May 5 in Chiweshe, Mashonaland Central, ZANU-PF officials and “war veterans” beat six men to death and tortured another 70 men and women, including a 76-year-old woman publicly thrashed in front of assembled villagers. A “war veteran” retired Major Cairo Mhandu organized and incited the beatings in Chiweshe.
“In Mutoko, Mashonaland East on the night of April 10, ZANU-PF supporters brutally beat before the entire village about 20 men suspected of voting for the MDC. A 45-year-old man told Metro that the ZANU-PF supporters used whips, chains, and iron bars to beat him and they broke his left leg below the knee. They repeatedly said that his “crime” was that he voted for the MDC during the elections.

It is things like this, in my opnion, that makes the whole process unfair. We shall never have peace in Zimbabwe unless the perpetrators of these crimes are brought to book. They are known!
Zanu PF leadership should pay for this through the justice system. mugabe’s hands have been dripping blood since 1980 till now shame on that man, he doesn’t deserve to be called a leader. Shame on him and his henchmen.
sometimes I feel guilty because of what my master Mugabe did and is doing to innocent civilians. Sometimes I will think of quiting my job as his protector but I also committed crimes againast humanity I am afraid they will come to haunt me in future.

PAMBERI NE RUDO, PAMBERI NEKUBATANA, PAMBERI NRUSUNUNGUKO RWAKAZARA.
I am no longer the enemy of the people, I will pray to God to curse Mugabe forever. To those beaten and abused during June elections I would like to ask for forgiveness and agree with those againast the tyrant.

Is this ethical journalism?
I have complained in the past about the use of these images to score points against political rivals. These images will drive me mad at Mugabe for maintaining power through the blood of innocent Zimbabweans by they also make me very made at this site for disrespecting the ethics of journalism. One ofr these pictures belongs to my relative and it does not help me psychologically to view these images over and over again. I have never received any request from this site and many others for the use of my relative in this manner. I am sure the relatives of all the other departed people forming part of this display have also never been contacted.
Please guys, Mugabe is rotten to the core. He has caused more murders than these. There is no need to display my relative’s image to prove to anyone that zanu PF is rotten. Let us stick to ethics.
Firstly, I think the people murdered by ZANU -PF are crying to us the living to do something. If we do not expose the extend of ZANU-PF brutality nobody will understand what the MDC says they want change of government. These people were not murdered because of their families or relatives, they were murdered because they championed freedom for all the people of Zimbabwe. It is therefore naive to think that we should respect their relatives without taking into account their cries for justice. Naturally if people see the manner they died, we the living are galvanized to take action against their murderers. This is not a family issue. It is a national issue. They died for national issues. My I ask the person claiming to be a relative of one of the person murdered to tell the nationa what they have done, legally, to bring the perpetrators of these heinous crimes to book?
At this juncture, may I appeal to the MDC, especially Morgan Tsvangirai not to yield an inch to ZANU PF demands to rotate the Min. of Home Affairs. If they agree on rotation of Home Affairs, then it has to happen to all the Ministries, including Defence etc.
No general amnesty for murderers!
Mthwakazi – the pain of seeing relatives in this way must be extreme.
Sometimes, only the truth will suffice. It will soon be time for truth and reconciliation.
I am truly sorry to hear of your suffering.
We don’t want this GNU, lets have a winner take all election with coalition forces to maintain order. After that we’ll deal with these murderers, no mercy to them.
ASAZI UMGABENJA USEQEDE ABANTU..SO WHAT’S THE WAY FORWARD WHY MUGABE IS NOT ARRESTED ONE TIME COZ THIS WILL FINISH THE NATION..AND I THINK…..LETS STOP TALKS AND ARREST MUGABE FINISH…
zvinoda minamato .God will punish the murderers and all sinners.The revenge is His.
i think its time to get rid of Bob thru the gun. even his police is refusing to beat people.
it’s time to gun him down.
TO HELL WITH BOB
lm soo horrified l cant sleep. Who the hell are these evil people.
Pamberi neZANU PF. It took us 28 years to see that Mugabe is Satanic. Takati chii paayiuraya vamwe vedu kuMatabeleland. That should have worked as an eye opener to us all asi takaramba kudzidza nokuti zvaive zvevamwe. If they say ZANU NDEYEROPA
Mashaya nyaya imi – you have got to fight hard and lie hard for your newspaper to just survive!
All this is done for the love of material wealth. Shame on them. God shall judge the kids of the perpetrators. If he doesn’t judge we shall revenge with time.
this is nothing compared to gukurahundi. My mother was burnt alive in 1984
