it difficult for the police to arrest voters on trumped up charges as they have done in the past.
But above all we appeal to the voters of Budiriro to remain calm and not to give the authorities any excuse whatsoever to prevent them from voting or to whip up a disturbance. No doubt the ruling party will have its usual trouble-makers in place to try and foment outbreaks of violence in order to sully the waters and prevent people from voting.
We encourage the law-abiding residents of Budiriro, who have suffered so much at the hands of the ruinous policies of the Mugabe regime, to go one more mile and to stay calm no matter what provocation they may face on polling day.
To the youth in particular, who we understand are frustrated, restless and angry, we make an impassioned plea for calm and maturity. This is your chance to make your mark – not with violence and pointless destruction, but with dignity and self-restraint.
You can turn Operation Murambatsvina around into Operation MurambaMugabe.
Send them home
Most Britons are the upset by the release of over 1000 foreign criminals who should have been deported. Among them are 200 Zimbabweans who face deportation as soon as they are rounded up.
We have no sympathy for them. They abused the hospitality of their hosts. They are an embarrassment to most Zimbabweans in the UK who are decent, law-abiding people who fled Mugabe’s brutal rule and are trying to rebuild their lives by working hard and making a contribution to the country who has given them refuge.
Those who come here to steal, rape and murder should be sent back to Mugabe’s Zimbabwe. They are a menace to society and they spoil it for everybody else. Some of them might claim that they fear arrest and torture on their arrival back home. They should have thought of that before engaging in criminal activities here.
We say send them back to Mugabe, but allow decent, hardworking Zimbabweans who are seeking asylum and protection from political persecution to stay here.
