MDC-T working with social media terrorists - Government

Three Zimbabweans based in South Africa and Australia have reportedly been identified as being the chief social "media terrorists".

According to state run Herald, the suspects are Victor Dube (resident in South Africa), Jeff Judah Hosanna (South Africa) and Tapiwa Marimbe (Australia).

As usual the Herald said the suspects are  working with MDC-T officials to  send "messages containing threats of violence, murder as well as armed and landmine attacks against ordinary Zimbabweans and Government officials".

Quoting an unnamed security source, the Herald said: "Should the three wish to clear their names, they are welcome to present themselves to the Zimbabwean police as soon as possible. The long arm of the law will reach out to them even if it means using international police machinery. Interpol is one such agency used to reach out to cross border criminals.

"We will work with other governments to extradite those who originate terrorist activities taking advantage that they are out of the country.

"Government warns Zimbabweans to desist from communicating with these and other terrorist suspects. Should anyone receive such terrorist messages, they are advised to inform the police and provide details of the person from whom they received such messages. Resending such terrorist messages to any person is aiding and abetting the terrorists. Therefore, those that resend such messages become accomplices of the originators and will be held accountable."
