 Scraping the bottom of the propaganda barrel, the Sunday Mail yesterday reported that Zimbabwe’s security commanders "have dismissed reports that they have engaged Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai to secure their positions after the forthcoming harmonised elections."
But reading through the article, there is nowhere where it quotes the security commanders denying the meeting. Instead it quotes the Secretary for Information, George Charamba, whose abuse of the state media stretches from going to ZBC Headquarters to personally direct the firing of journalists and personally editing stories published on the Herald and Sunday Mail, to refusing, together with his Minister Webster Shamu, to implement media reforms that his boss, President Robert Mugabe, signed off in the GPA and have since been codified by SADC in Summit.

 Instead of blaming PM Tsvangirai for creatively appointing a Zanu (PF) Justice Minister and an MDC-T Minister of Constitutional Affairs to sort out the road-map to elections, Welshman Ncube should be talking to (in order of rank and responsibility) SADC facilitator, President Zuma, SADC Troika chairman, President Kikwete, SADC Chairman President Guebbuzza and finally AU Commission Chairperson, Dr Nkosazana Dhalimini-Zuma.

 The MDC-T has finally cut through the confusion that Zanu (PF) is trying to create and stated the key minimum conditions for the holding of a credible, free and fair election, which must be adhered to.
There were fears that the MDC-T was about to negotiate with Zanu (PF) for something less than the necessary reforms guaranteeing voter's safety and security and transfer of power to whoever wins.

 The tragic thing about Zimbabwe's Independence in 1980 is that it did not come with basic freedoms as we had all assumed. Independence Day remains hollow and empty despite the blood shed for Independence.
There is still not respect for human dignity and human rights, which is why the MDC was formed as a post-liberation political movement to complete the unfinished business of the liberation struggle.
The positive thing about this year's Independence Day however is that Zimbabweans have overwhelmingly voted for a new Constitution which will go a long way in addressing the absence of basic freedoms and the deficit of good governance, thus setting new ground rules for our governance.

 The golf-playing Clerk of Parliament, Austin Zvoma, a trained lawyer who seems to periodically throw his training out of the window, just like his colleague Patrick Chinamasa, when they need to justify what Zanu (PF) wants, has been in the news again recently claiming that President Mugabe's desired election date of June 29 is constitutionally justified. Another lawyer, Tererai Mafukidze -Director of the Southern African Legal Information Institute, begs to differ. He writes:

 David Chawora (60), a 2012 victim of Zanu (PF) violence in Mudzi.
While President Robert Mugabe continued to publicly call for peaceful elections, monitors report that many parts of the country are tense, with attacks on MDC-T supporters and revival of militia camps used by Zanu (PF) to torture opposition supporters in 2008.
The so-called Police Internal Security Intelligence (PISI) has stepped up harassment of MDC-T supporters in Masvingo; chiefs are calling meetings on behalf of Zanu (PF); their headmen forcing MDC-T supporters to pay protection fees in rural areas; aspiring MDC-T candidates are being threatened, and a Zanu (PF) MP has been accused of calling out at rallies names of people suspected of having voted "No" in the referendum - leading to their being threatened. |
