Former ZBC radio presenter Eric Ramsley Knight has challenged Zimbabweans to stop violence against each other on partisan lines.
"I'm gutted by political violence that re-surfaced in my Mbare at the weekend. Honestly this is becoming too much. I saw the pictures and I must say its disgusting and sad," he said. "For goodness sake when will we learn my dear Zimbabweans..opposition is not enmity. I don't care which political party you belong to, you are foolish and brainless if you are used by any Politician to attack another human being."
He said in 2013 I deliberately convened a rally right in the middle of the so called Chipangano stronghold at the grounds adjacent to Rufaro Stadium.
"I challenged any violent element to come and attack. Not even a stone was thrown. I personally went to Mbare Police to thank them for ensuring there was peace in the area. What has happened again? Who has bewitched my people. Please stop it," he said. "As a nation we have bigger fish to fry. Any political leader who is directly or indirectly pro-violence must be named and shamed. I will dig deeper into this. Someone has to answer if we still have a Government. God bless Zimbabwe! God bless Africa!"
