Mnangangwa should be brought to order

Recent remarks by Emmerson Mnangagwa to the effect  that " he was trained to kill " are tantamount to a morbid , wicked  and nefarious attempt to instill fear not only in the hearts of the management of Tongaat Hulett and Bindura Nickel corporation but also in the hearts of all peace - loving Zimbabweans. Mnangagwa should be brought to order. While he might be boastful of his notorious history as a trained hitman and assassin, he should be advised that the people of Zimbabwe are not going to be cowed into submission simply because of his wicked and weird threats.

The people of Zimbabwe are a gallant and resilient lot who will never give in to the cowardly and dastardly threats being uttered against them by a man who is expected to behave and conduct himself in a decent and law - abiding manner both as a lawyer and also as the country's first Vice - President.

As the MDC , we strongly condemn the uttering of such crude and unlawful threatening statements by any individual;  more so by a  man who has a sordid and soiled history especially in regard to the Gukurahundi genocide. Zimbabweans do not want to be ruled by a blood-thirsty and cruel cabal in the moribund Zanu PF party. As the country's largest and most popular political party ,the MDC calls upon Emmerson Mnangagwa and all other like - minded trigger - happy Zanu PF functionaries to appreciate that enough is enough. They cannot and indeed, they shouldn't be allowed to continue to treat the people of Zimbabwe as a piece of trash.

The time has now come for all patriotic and peace - loving Zimbabweans to call upon this Zanu PF cabal to stop behaving like a law unto themselves. The time will soon come when all perpetrators of gross human rights abuses will be brought to book.  They will soon face the music. Today , these rogues and political thugs might appear strong and invincible like the biblical Goliath but it's just a matter of time before the tables are turned against this criminal and corrupt cabal.

Zimbabweans do not deserve to be treated with this type of Stone age savagery and cruel contempt. We all know that this ZanuPF cabal has been instrumental in rigging elections and ensuring that Robert Mugabe continues to rule the country although the people of Zimbabwe have long since rejected the nonagenarian dictator at the ballot box. History is on our side and we all know that the darkest hour is just before dawn. Emmerson Mnangagwa should be told in no uncertain terms that we do not fear him. Thus , these cowardly threats will only serve to galvanise the people's resolve to emancipate themselves from the slavery imposed upon them by this criminal cabal in Zimbabwe.

The day of reckoning is fast approaching and a  New Zimbabwe free from ZanuPF tyranny and corruption is on the horizon. The people of Zimbabwe will soon be marching to victory. That's for sure.
