Gushungu ice-cream with a poisonous chemical cone head to be launched at Gweru youth interface rally

Remember that this is ZANU PF politics. Trust nobody. Only trust yourself. Trust the food that you prepare yourself. Forewarned is forearmed. Your safety and wellbeing comes first. It is your responsibility to protect yourself. After all there is nothing much to gain from attending these rallies. Ordinary members spend hours on end sitting cramped on the ground in the opening cold, rainy or hot weather while the so called bigwigs sit under a tent and on soft expensive chairs. What makes them deserve more than you do? Think!

ZANUPF youth interface rallies have become combat zone for warring ZANU PF factions. Youth interface rallies appear to provide the space and time for belligerent factions to launch concealed artilleries of food containing poisonous chemicals to fellow enemy party members. This has resulted in a wreckage of physical health injuries for the unlucky ones caught in the ZANU PF chemical warfare. Regrettably some targets have died as a result and much to the fun fare and victory celebration by the offensive faction.

People attending Gweru youth interface rally are warmed to watch what they eat. This follows an incident of ingestion of contaminated Gushungu ice-cream by an unsuspecting Emmerson Mnangagwa at the last Gwanda youth interface rally. The incident was interpreted as a malicious politically motivated assassination attempt on Mnangagwa by those who view him as their ZANU PF succession enemy. Several harmful substances were reported to have been peddled at the last Gwanda youth interface rally with various sources revealing that there was in circulation stale food, contaminated water bottles, poison laced Gushungu ice-cream, poisoned samosa and grapes and non-radioactive palladium. It still remains unclear which one of those noxious elements was consumed by Mnangagwa. Mnangagwa holds the key to what happened to him. It is also within his rights to withhold this personal information from public circulation if he so wishes.

The fundamental and key irresponsible behaviour by ZANU PF rallies' organisers is a lack of a commitment and duty to the welfare of their members. ZANU PF organisers showed a dismal failure of crisis handling of the incident of poison, they instead distanced themselves and closed off information from its members. They played down the incident to make people think that there is nothing ominous going on within their party. The lack of transparency and information by ZANU PF on this matter is contemptuous to the welfare of its members. The poor risk management procedures with regards to food contamination incident stirs public concern, lack of trust and confidence about the ability of ZANU PF to provide adequate safety for people attending its rallies. It is regrettable that the lives and safety of ordinary members do not matter in ZANU PF. The ordinary members are required for political production just to show off attendance numbers and nothing more. People are reconsidered as political capital to proliferate the interests the ZANU PF political elite with nothing tangible that accrues to its ordinary members. It remains strange why ZANU PF is not conducting an internal inquiry to establish the extent of the risk, seek to identify the perpetrators or even to rule out the existence of the risk. As a national security risk the police seem to be uninterested to investigate starting that no one has complained. Does it require that all accidents and incidents that take place in the country one has to complain before the police can act? Sometimes it is better for Charity not to comment than simply embarrass herself for lack of intelligent handling of matters.

Anyone one attending ZANU PF rallies is not safe from a possible food poisoning. The following are tip_s to stay safe from being poisoned when attending ZANU PF rallies:
Carry your own food and fluids to the rally if possible.
Eat at home before you attend the rally to last you to the next meal at your home.
Avoid sharing food with other people. This will reduce your chances of eating contaminated food.
If you are going to eat anything at the Gweru youth interface rally understand that you are taking a risk of being poisoned.
Be careful where you sit as chairs may be tempered with.
Be careful your car door handles may be laced with poison.
If you have the option, give accuse and do not attend the rally at all.
If you suspect you have been poisoned seek medical help as soon as possible.
Please take care of yourself. These are trying and hard times for ZANUPF. You have been warned.

The poisonous chemicals can be passed from one person to the other through handshakes, sitting on chairs and car door handles. ZANUPF has never spelt out food safety procedures at its rallies. It is therefore possible to have incidents of food poisoning if there are no proper food screening, storage and handling procedures. The generally belief is that the poisoning of both Mahofa in Victoria Falls and Mnangagwa in Gwanda was concocted by powerful and respected people in ZANUPF. Most of the food is supplied by ZANU PF leadership from their businesses; they have ample time to temper with the food for their intended victims. It is also the leadership that assigns people in the preparation of food and serving of guests. It is possible for such leadership to assign a trusted mole to target their victim by way of poisoning. The leadership in the party enjoys respect. It is unlikely that it can be suspected of poisoning any food. Casual offers of prepared food from respected officials should be accepted with a caution. It is likely the leadership may abuse that position of trust to poison their perceived enemies. Be careful you may also be used in the chain leading to poisoning someone else. Be cautious if someone asks you hand over food to some else. It may be contaminated with poison to kill the other person.

The witch covertly brandishing poisonous substances still roams freely at ZANU PF rallies. There are also moles working with the witch in these rallies, and until the culprit is apprehended beware of what you eat. Remember the culprit will always be someone of authority, influence and control. You have been warned.

People are also warned about the verbal abusive venomous attacks from hurricane Grace Mugabe. She is given free reign by her husband Mugabe to abuse and embarrass her perceived enemies at these rallies. Grace and Mugabe work together. Fools continue to see Mugabe as untainted, unblemished and uncorrupted. When Grace speaks trash Mugabe pretends he is sleeping and faking that he is not hearing. Those of you ZANU PF lot living in the Midlands region perceived to be Lacoste brace yourselves for the Wild West lash out by the hypomania Grace this Friday at Gweru. If Grace lashes out on you do not consider it an attack on you. Consider it her cry for help. A visit to the doctor may be what she requires.

Pasi ne-poison! Pamberi ne-poison! Which one is which?
