If you do not agree at least do not kill each other, Zanu PF on other hand has mastered the legacy of hate. Black on black violence, against minority races violence has been unleashed by Zanu PF.
There was a time wearing an opposition t-shirt meant certain death in some parts of Zimbabwe, KweKwe was one such area when aspiring MP that time Chebundo walked into a lion's den challenging the Butcher of Zimbabwe, ED.
When whites entered into the foray and decided to finance the rising Morgan Tsvangirai with MDC they did not know they had touched the tail of a lion. Zanu pf did not hesitate to label whites 'Rhodies' simply because they were on the other side of the political terrain. Border Gezi youths, "Green Bombers", descended on white-owned farms together with war vets and a purge began all over Zimbabwe targeting whites. This is the seed that had been planted long back by Zanu pf of not tolerating anyone whose views differed from theirs. Hate speech synonymous with their leaders was used on presumed opposition supporters.
Zimbabwean people of Malawian descent were not spared as derogatory terms were used on their ancestry. If there is one thing Zanu pf really mastered besides boasting of "degrees in violence" it was hate speech. Hate your neighbours they belong to the MDC, hate whites they want to take Zimbabwe back, hate Ndebeles they belong to the MDC, people were taught at their orientation rallies.
This is a ruling party, a party claiming it represents all and sundry by day but by night was like a vigilante group seeking blood of its perceived enemies. Who can forget MDC officials burnt in their car at Murambinda, who can forget Jestina Mukoko's ordeal at the hands of Zanu pf, Tonderayi Ndiraya and many more people who were killed by a party that wants to stay in power at whatever cost.
There is a man behind all this violence, the man who is saying he wants to take Zimbabwe to another level. He is the same man who was Mugabe's right-hand man as well as the planner of Operation Murambatsvina, yes the current Junta leader.If you hear of a wolf in sheep clothing think of Zanu pf that is what they are. Nothing has changed, they are the same party which set torture bases because people were saying enough is enough.
It is an elitist party using desperate youths to do their dirty work while their kids live large in Australia, United Kingdom while they say to us here whites are taking our country. This party is seeing the end if people unite for a common purpose on 30 July.
