Killing our children is amusement for Chiwenga and Mnangagwa

The carnage, blood bath and dehumanization in the central district of Harare is a confirmation of what has been defined as free, fair and creditable elections led Priscilla Chigumba, Chiwenga and Mnangagwa. This sadistic brutality and mystic behaviour of setting a battalion of soldiers upon protesting defenceless people that are demanding something genuine goes hand in hand when normal capacity for restraint is lacking.
Violence has become systemic, institutional and structural since the coup d'état of November 2017. Brutality and wanton killing has become a brazen survival strategy by Chiwenga and Mnangagwa to demobilise and silence people when they are expressing genuine grievances that need to be attended.
They find it appropriate to shoot and kill civilians that are demanding the announcement of the presidential elections results or at least provide information to manage people's anxieties and agitation. Chiwenga and Mnangagwa do not have the right to withhold the people' votes because it does not belong to them. What escapes the politicized mind is that the action taken by Chiwenga and Mnangagwa is deliberate, pre-planned, premediated and compulsion driven by fear.
Those who died in the streets of Harare in the hands of Chiwenga and Mnangagwa was not an unfortunate coincidence but act of serial killers that find pleasure in demobilisation human life using an arsenal of oppressive instruments in their control that acts as inoculation for their false sense supremacy and control over others.
The serial killers are on the loose. The historical signature of serial killing by these two can be traced from Gukurahundi atrocities, Murambatswina mayhem, 2008 presidential re-run murders, and November 2017 coup.
Today is the 2018 elections coup. More of our sons, daughters, brothers and sisters will be dead by tomorrow as the serial killers are paving the way for the announcement of the fake presidential results in their favour. Those that died on the streets of Harare owe nothing to nobody but only the truth.
Chiwenga and Mnangagwa are amused by a brazen act of carnage in a general culture accustomed to blaming their victims for their misfortunes. They are ingrained in a strait jacket concept where they believe that their victims are always at fault and they have the right to cause harm to them.
The action by Chiwenga and Mnangagwa is a quest for self-importance to cover up and compensate for feelings of political anxiety; inadequacies about social acceptance; fear of loss of power and to that extent they are prepared to perpetuate violence which is hard to distinguish from a massacre if they think they get away with it.
Chiwenga and Mnangagwa may subdue the physical side of the human being but the message from people has already been made clear. It must be remembered that atrocity will always refuse to be buried.
