We need to have a paradigm shift and take these evil thugs head on: Bennett
Opinion by Roy Bennett
Friends, if there is any leader or cadre of the party, that after the past 13 years who believes that ZANU-PF will ever respect us, then they are not with us. They have told us clearly their intentions by killing us, beating us and taking our property.
All those seen as strong and upright who they are unable to make deals with are hounded into prison, murdered or forced into the diaspora to survive and fight another day.
We need to have a paradigm shift and take these evil thugs head on.
The serious leaders wanting real change need to understand that there needs to be sacrificed. I myself, like hundreds of our members and supporters, have sacrificed and found ourselves in exile with no other option. The arrests will start the repression and only become worse.
I believe we need to be strong and lead the people through a Government-in-exile and begin the revolution. Once we take the first step, the rest will follow. However, those are my views and sadly I cannot be part of any standing committee meetings or otherwise to express my views!
Going into parliament will legitimise and empower the Mugabe ZANU PF regime for them to further destroy and repress our country!! WE NEED A REVOLUTION!! WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THEM IN THE ONLY WAY THEY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND FIRE FOR FIRE!!!
They are few. We are many!!!
I have nothing to lose. I can speak my mind with the safety of exile. I have warrants for arrest against me. I have assassins looking for me so why should I keep quiet!!?? Just because I have stood strong and principled, and not bowed down to fear and threats!!??
Just because I have not given up even though they have destroyed my livelihood, taken everything from me and killed my friends because I am white!!?? I am an African with red blood running through my veins. I can donate blood to any of my black brothers.
My heart is African. I love my country and my people; black, white coloured or otherwise!!
I will never be part of anything that has ZANU PF in it or to do with it. I am prepared to get on with my life and walk away rather than have anything to do with a lying murdering corrupt geriatric despicable regime. Ndapedza not emotion but pure truthful fact!!!
