The cold blood murder of Christpower Maisiri is heartless, cruel and barbaric.
It is cases of this nature that Joyce Mujuru does not want the non-African election observers to notice during the run up to the elections. This is why during her recent speech in Harare, Mujuru said international observers will not be allowed in Zimbabwe.
While Zanu PF has been quick to distance itself from involvement, how does the party explain the Mazda pick-up truck that had no number plates which drove to the Maisiri homestead?
The best the Zanu PF officials who are denying their party’s involvement can do is disown the perpetrators, and say they acted on their own behalf.
And it is laughable for the police to refuse to arrest saying there is no evidence – what evidence did they have against the 29 MDC activists who were arrested on allegations of killing a police officer in Glen View?
A lot of MDC activists and officials who have been arrested have been acquitted because the courts found them innocent, so what is so difficult arresting the suspects if any names have been suggested.
The police have demonstrated beyond doubt that they are partisan, and their failure to arrest suspects named in this case must be taken to SADC, the African Union, the United Nations and all other relevant platforms.
Reports are very clear that an older child was woken up by the sound of an explosion, and that is the information they should use to arrest named suspects.
How on earth does Joyce Mujuru explain the rape on Mrs. Maisiri by known Zanu PF functionaries and still insist international observers will not be allowed into the country during election time if hers is not a wish for them not to witness first hand such atrocities?
Joyce Mujuru is a heartless woman who has got too used to walking to parliament over dead bodies. This time round she and her friends who enjoy walking to parliament over dead bodies must be stopped. It comes to a point where people will draw a line in the sand and say enough is enough.
I would like to thank the Tsvangirai-led MDC and progressive NGOs who have taken up the barbaric incidents of Zanu PF violence to SADC, and hope that SADC will take the appropriate measures to ensure that election observers from all over the world are allowed into the country six months before the elections.
Even if it means the elections have to be postponed. The sooner a ruling is made on observers the better, because the sooner we get into a New Zimbabwe that does not have Mugabe as President, the better.
My message to Joyce Mujuru is that she is a national disgrace, an uncaring mother and grandmother, and a failed politicians who is not clever enough to notice the violence by his own can never be swept under the carpet.
The chickens are coming home to roast, and the best Joyce Mujuru can do is to quit politics at the forced end of her master’s term of office after the 2013 elections.
