Zanu PF Mutare conference in pictures

Around 5000 Zanu PF delegates, mostly looters of state resources, gathered in the eastern city of Mutare for a conference that is expected to rubber-stamp Dictator Robert Mugabe’s candidacy and push for early elections in 2011.

The party which lost to the MDC in the March 2008 elections claimed “Zanu PF is an unstoppable machine and should crush the MDC once and for all.” Mugabe also called for the death penalty for anyone who calls for targeted sanctions on his regime.

Below are some of the pictures from the conference in Mutare, a few kilometres away from the Marange diamond fields where army, state security, police and Zanu PF officials are taking turns to loot the resource.
