The ideology
ZANU PF is a proponent of a conservative socialist ideology, Pan Africanist and anti- imperialist western values, doctrines and democracies. Pursuance to its ideology, ZANU PF adopted a governance system of dictatorship, tyranny, centralised power in one person in the name of President Robert Mugabe, first secretary of ZANU PF, life ZANU PF president and leader of the goals of a one party state.
The natural resources, self-serving decision making, appointment of key positions, allocation of financial resources and ownership of ZANU PF are wholly owned and controlled by Mugabe. The country literally belongs to Mugabe together with members of his extended family and a few surrogates scraping off some benefits from patronage.
President Mugabe is exempt from any leadership contests in ZANU PF due to his fears of leadership competition and loss of power.
He is therefore the lifetime ZANU PF central power holder responsible for distributing material and financial resources. He determines who should live and who should die; who should be promoted and who should be demoted; and who should remain in his party and who should be purged. When his power is threatened he shuffles, reshuffles and cycles the same dead wood in his cabinet at will; and he rigs elections and withholds elections results without a shame and indignity. He chooses who of his subjects should be fed and who should be starved. His amends and re-amends the country's constitution, government and party statutes each time his wants to pursue new ego overtures.
No wonder why his blind followers call him the God father and so he behaves as if he is a God. The reason for the preservation of his life ZANU PF presidency, one centre of power and consequently life president of Zimbabwe means that Mugabe had to lead the people of Zimbabwe with an iron fist devoid of the needs and wishes of the populace.
Mugabe's heavy handed and blood thirsty leadership ideology was and is fuelled, sustained and characterised by rampant human rights abuses, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption and gross economic mismanagement.
The grand total of documented and undocumented people that Mugabe has killed since the independence of Zimbabwe is well over 30 000. Mugabe is a manipulative and deceitful trooper killing the country and its people pulling the trigger from behind the scenes and the impact has been devastating with only him benefiting from the onslaught.
Emmerson Mnangagwa
The succession matrix in ZANU PF entitles that Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa is on the death squad list as his presence and stay in the party appear to be threatening the tired, haggard, frail and gaunt ZANU PF power holder and his multitude extended family. Mnangagwa is perceived as threatening the position of the apex, the power of the Gushungu dynasty and undeclared Gushungu monarch. The under qualified, politically immature, foul mouth, impulsive and unpredictable sweet heart legatee of the president, Grace Mugabe is on the verge of being imposed on the people of Zimbabwe as president against their will so as to propagate, preserve and perpetuate the Gushungu Empire. Fear of loss of power resides in the thinking and mentality of President Mugabe.
Mnangagwa is on a death row like many others in the past that unfortunately happened to be perceived to be a threat the presidential position of Mugabe. Mnangagwa survived two attempted assassinations by cyanide and ice cream poisoning. Mnangagwa needs to keep a watch over his shoulders. The snappers and hitmen are everywhere, anywhere, in any form and format. The killing could happen at Bulawayo youth interface rally, Harare youth interface rally, at the December special congress, on the highway, in the politburo meeting, overseas or at Mnangagwa's residency. Staged road accidents are Mugabe's signature killer foot prints but never rule out other forms. The perception is that while Mugabe sleeps in public rallies and meetings, he never sleeps at night with visual and vivid nightmares of Mnangagwa wearing a King's crown and him, Mugabe performing the obedience rituals. Mugabe together with his G40 is on overdrive hatching plans to have Mnangagwa eliminated from ZANU PF either dead or alive.
The information below re-enforces the historical evidence that show how possible it is for Mnangagwa to be killed by his long-time ally President Robert Mugabe. Mnangagwa's crime is that in the eyes and dreams of Robert Mugabe, Mnangagwa appears more presidential than the candidate of his choice. Mnangagwa receives louder crowd cheers of welcome at youth interface rallies than the combined cheers for both Mugabe and Grace.
The Matabele and Midlands genocide (Jan 1983 to Dec 1987)
President Robert Mugabe, first secretary and president of ZANU PF ordered the killings of 20 000 innocent Ndebele people driven by his unwillingness to create a truly ethnic, inclusive and diverse tribal tolerant government for all the people of Zimbabwe. In January 1983 right into December 1987, the genocide on Matabeles sponsored by Mugabe using his Gukurahundi killer machinery was unprecedented and systemic. The killings were driven by Mugabe's deep rooted political and tribal hatred of the Ndebeles, powerful emotions of political domination and control, the desire to completely eradicate the Ndebele tribe, a hanker for ethnic cleansing and to strangulate ZAPU into total extinction. Mugabe directing his killer bull dogs from his Jongwe office attempted to kill the then ZAPU President Dr Joshua Mqhabuko Nkomo at his residence in Bulawayo in the middle of the night. Nkomo left his home for safety following a tip from a Good Samaritan. Nkomo's body guard who had an exchange of fire with the intruders died at the hands of Mugabe and his mercenaries. Following Nkomo's escape from the killer jaws of Mugabe, Mugabe concocted a pack of lies saying Nkomo ran away and jumped the boarder wearing a woman's dress.
Mugabe's killing machinery of the Ndebele people was a combination of various state security apparatus that included the Gukurahundi Shona speaking militias, the CIO, ZRP and imposters from CIO posing as dissidents. The Gukurahundi militias were the death squadron trained by the North Koreans in methods of mass murder and ethnic cleansing. Evidence on the ground showed that Mugabe gave the instructions to his killer mercenaries to kill indiscriminately every man, boy, girl and woman. Pregnant women had their tummies bayonetted and ripped open exposing the foetus and leaving the expecting mother to die. It was a kill on sight mission. Mugabe was killing other human beings just for the love of power. Mugabe is due to stand trial of 20000 counts of ethnic murder crimes either in his life time or posthumously. The murders were premeditated, profound, deliberate, unmatched and sadistic. Mugabe currently swims in the rivers of blood that he constructed. He is soaked in the drips of the blood of the innocent and harmless so that his hold on power nourishes.
The 2008 presidential run off killings
In 2008 when Mugabe lost the presidential elections to MDC President Morgan Tsvangirai, the elections results were withheld way beyond the stipulated time by the constitution. The campaign for the re-run of the elections is believed to have killed between 200 to 300 people mainly supporters of MDC party. In the period leading to the presidential re-run Mugabe engaged pervasive and methodical beatings, torture and killing of Morgan Tsvangirai supporters. The act was politically motivated, violent and brazen. It was a campaign of arbitrary abductions, disappearances, arrests and detentions of innocent people without trial and some without a trace. Mugabe went onto the polls without a competing contestant and declared victory for running the race alone. Tsvangirai withdrew from the race citing that the campaign of killings by Mugabe was beyond reproach for any credible elections. Mugabe went on to swore himself as president of Zimbabwe at night at a disgraceful ceremony which saw him kiss his young wife for the first time in public which was interpreted as a way of coping with mortification and embarrassment. Mugabe knows that he is not a leader of the people any more. This is why he is not keen on addressing the social and economic needs of the people of Zimbabwe. He is now on a rampage to enrich himself and his family. Unfortunately his communication with people is now dominated with threats of all kinds which are common behaviours of people covering up for their weaknesses and wrong doing.

Winston Changara (2007).The long-time bodyguard of Robert Mugabe was accused of meddling in the extra marital private affairs of the first family, especially Grace.
