      Richard Muriwo Don’t use the Bible on you own evil thinking which is not on the mind of God. Don’t think everyone in ZANU PF is evil, what you think about S.B Moyo is not on the mind of God. God is not agree with you.

    “The president is safe and sound, we are only targeting criminals surrounding him”

    Ndinorangarira mashoko aya 2017 ndiri pacollege, mushure mekunge vabvusa macriminal vakachinja life yedu which was better under Mugabe and his criminals, so they created space for more dangerous criminals, criminals who fire live bullets on unarmed civilians , criminals who do whatever pleases them without paying no regards to the lives of the majority ….

    It’s a lesson, not only live bullets can kill Mr Coup announcer, no matter how many people you kill whilst pretending to protect them, your day will come

    I will also die one day, but noone is going to celebrate my passing because I do whatever I do with respect to other people’s feelings
