THE MISCHIEVOUS ZANU PF - BY Greatman Makipa

 I8 April 2024

As if installing necrophobia in its peasantry was not enough, ZANU-PF, in line with its DNA, has resorted to enforced disappearance, abductions, murder, lawfare and systematic persecution of Zimbabwean citizens as a way of hanging on to power.

Zimbabweans, like pregnant women who have only one option to give birth, have been forced to flee their motherland in their millions, mostly to the xenophobic South Africa, which has left many of them dead or living a cat-and-mouse existence in their stepfather's country.

Millions of Zimbabweans have fled to the diaspora due to the repressive way ZANU-PF is running the country.

Some are pursued beyond the borders, hounded and persecuted in foreign lands by the notorious regime agents, especially in neighbouring South Africa, where the ANC-led government is sympathetic to the regime in Harare. 

As a result, most are so hopeless and fearful that they now choose to remain silent despite their displeasure in the way Zimbabwe is being run. 

The question uppermost in people's minds is, if big names like Job Sikhala, Promise Mkwananzi and Ngadziore can be abducted during daylight, how many of the lesser-knowns are being subjected to similar or much worse persecution?

This has led to many preferring silence over the risk of death at the hands of State operatives.

This then leaves me with the question, is Zimbabwe Independent Yet?
