The MDC-T Youth Assembly has warned President Emmerson Mnangagwa that he can not fool them by pretending to be open for democracy yet there is clear selective application of the law in the country.

"We note with shock, the selective application of the law by President Mnangagwa's military regime as he continues to consolidate his grip on power. We take the arrest of G40 gangs for a variety of trivial economic crimes as nothing serious but diversion. Arresting people for possession of beans, wheelchairs, maize and other trivial things can never be the reason why the military had to intervene and remove Mugabe. Recovery of beans, wheelchairs and maize can not in any way restore the legacy of Zimbabwe and it's good history," said the youth.

"We are not going to rest until justice for the wounded is afforded and all that was stolen from the people is returned. We have a revolutionary mandate to do so. We are not going to accept any cosmetic reform and the attempt to mislead the world by arresting small thieves and sparing the most deadly ones including Mnangagwa, blamed for massive plunder of minerals at home and in the DRC as well as the externation of foreign currency in foreign accounts. Recently Kudzai Chipanga, a ZANU PF youth leader revealed that US15 billion went missing, implicating Mnangagwa and the military bosses around him but no arrests has been made."

They said insteady the whistle blower was arrested, tortured and made to withdraw his statement under military command.

"Recently Obert Mpofu, a strong Mnangagwa loyalist was implicated in a 10 million bribe on Kurotwi' s case, that he owns the half of Bulawayo CBD and three quaters of Victoria Falls CBD, that he has acquired vast properties and he has also lost count of them, and he used money looted from the ministries he has been running, yet he is made to be in charge of investigations and policing is worrisome," said the youth.

"Another Mnangagwa loyalist and Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor Magudya, stand blamed for a variety of corrupt activities that back dates to Willovale scandal and recently he is said to have attained a fake degree at some US fake college but again, he was spared. The list is endless but what is clear is that the current regime has no agenda what so ever to bring meaningful economic revival and legitimacy but to persecute and eventually silence opponents."

"We therefore demand the prosecution of all perpetrators of human rights abuse and economic mismanagement in ZANU PF, and not the current settling of scores between Lacoste and G40. We demand a free, fair and credible election. We demand legitimacy, respect of human rights. We demand an end to corruption, malpractices and violence in Zimbabwe."
