I fear to be Emerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's son-in-law because of his crimes

Mr President Emerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa may I put it to you that you are a very brave man, you were once sentenced to death by the Smith regime, you survived but you didn't quite politics, several years later you were then sentenced to several years in prison. While there I understand you were in jovial mood you even studied Law in prison. You didn't stop pursuing what you believed in. What I don't understand is why do you think we won't be like you? Why do you think the system of violence against activists that failed Smith against you will work for you today now that you are in Smith's shoes and we in yours then?

Since 1980 to date you and your boss Robert Gabriel Mugabe committed a lot of heinous crimes against humanity particularly your countrymen, when Mugabe then decided to fire you some two months back. You walked 30 kilometers by foot to your freedom only to come back to grab power from your boss to become President. You have once said you were trained to kill whatever that means. You have been a violent man since and I understand it was because of the brutality you were subjected to that made you to be brave and courageous to the extent that you are now President head of state and government, and first secretary of zanu, commander in chief of the defense forces, who is also the Chancellor of all state Universities and we emulate such bravery thus why we are here.

I believe its high time Mr President you learn from your past experiences. Politicians and political activists they don't back off because you killed some of them, or because you torture some or rape some, or arrest some. They back off only when their demands are met at whatever cost, you know this don't you? If torturing was a solution you wouldn't be a president today yourself Mr President.

Mr President as you might be aware I need a wife to marry probably this year after elections, I understand you have smart beautiful daughters I may be your son in-law, but I fear a curse "Ngozi" thus why I am still not sure about being part of your family.

You know I am a very nice guy who doesn't believe in violence, revenge and all that nonsense. I believe in truth, peace, and justice in my life time.

Don't you think you and I need to talk in the absence Chigumira Charumbira, Temba Mliswa, Christopher Mutsvangwa and solders, these guys are thugs and criminals you should know me I am a Christian I wouldn't like associating myself with such people?

Mr President what makes you think violence by your state security agents will silence us, if the same didn't silence you and your Cdes during the struggle against colonialism? Mr President may I put it to you that as of today the eight Mthwakazi Republic Party youths which include the party's National Treasurer General Cde Brighton Ithuteng Maladzi Sibanda are in jovial mood and are ready to do it again if you dare come to Bulawayo again? Why don't you think that harassing, beating and killing activists may silence them? On the contrary it only cause them to have hate and an appetite for revenge which might have catastrophic consequences to both parties since not all of us live at State house and protected by the Army among many state security agents?

I am of the opinion that you should own up Mr President and take responsibility of Gukurahundi Genocide, I was also thinking that before I come with my marriage proposal to your family, you fix the Matabeleland question.

Give us back the control of our nation, thus self-determination. Mr President allow free discussion of Gukurahundi genocide, stop altering the truth. Tell the solders to stay away from civilian politics, remove none Mthwakazi languages speaking people from serving us in our diversity and let those jobs be taken by locals.

The Bible say whatever you reap you shall sow and thus a fact what you are doing to us today is seeding for your future and you shall reap accordingly at the due season.

My in-law VhoMnangagwa my people have promised me that they will mobalise demonstrations against you where ever you go, don't you think it's high time you fix this?
