People power always prevails
It is imperative that every Zimbabwean cast their ballot for the candidate of their choice on Friday.

Mugabe’s brutal thugs have been terrorizing the whole country; beating, raping and murdering our countrymen with the sole aim of terrorizing them into voting for his illegitimate regime. You alone have the choice to decide where you will make your mark on our nation’s future. We urge you to do so with courage.

The only thing that can prevent the vicious beatings that thousands of Zimbabweans have endured at the hands of Mugabe’s thugs from continuing to be a way of life. is for Zimbabweans to vote en masse and pull the silent trigger.

Cast a ballot against the old tyrant and let your numbers be so overwhelming that another stealing of the vote is just not possible. We all know what to expect

should he manage to succeed. If Mugabe and his henchmen are allowed to remain in control there will be more misery, more beatings and more death.

Mugabe and the junta have been lying to Zimbabweans, saying Western economic sanctions are to blame for the country’s woes. The only sanctions in place are travel bans on members of the regime to prevent them from spending looted money on shopping sprees around the world. The reality is that the economic problems in Zimbabwe emanate from the personal greed of Mugabe’s thieve-ocracy (the ruling elite).

Far from being able to offer solutions to Zimbabwe’s woes, the Mugabe junta now devotes all of its energy in clinging to power. The only solutions offered are beatings and threats. There are no offers to ease the suffering of the people of our beloved homeland.

They are also lying about going back to the bush. Left to sleep under a tree, like many Mugabe-era Zimbabweans have been forced to do, the fat-cats would not last a day in the bush without their luxurious mansions.

Zimbabweans have now had enough of being beaten, Zimbabweans have had enough of war, enough of Zanu (PF) and we have had enough of Mugabe. We now want a man who will respect the Rule of Law; man who has ideas to get us out of this mess; a man who can allow us to feel national pride once more. A man who has new ideas about how to improve our lives that we may walk with heads lifted high once more or sleep peacefully through the night.

Zimbabweans want to be able to speak freely about the political situation. Watch or listen to any radio or TV station they choose – read any newspaper. This reality is possible again! We can destroy this den of thieves!

Despite the beatings and the torture and the starvation and the confiscation of ID cards. The declaration of no-go areas for the MDC, the incarceration and murder of activist leaders and the taking of political prisoners people should turn out. Every Zimbabwean who is able to go to the polling station on Friday must go.

Mugabe has been defeated once and he will be defeated again. Do not be discouraged by the menacing noises Mugabe and his generals are making about not accepting defeat – there are forces at work here far greater than Mugabe and his generals. Let the power of a nation standing in unity bring peace and hope to heal our land.

Throughout history tyrants have ultimately been defeated by the overwhelming power of the people. The enduring principles of peace and justice have always prevailed.

WORD

So do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

“All who rage against you

will surely be ashamed and disgraced;

those who oppose you

will be as nothing and perish.

Though you search for your enemies,

you will not find them.

Those who wage war against you

will be as nothing at all.

For I am the LORD, your God,

who takes hold of your right hand

and says to you, Do not fear;

I will help you.

Do not be afraid, for I myself will help you,” declares the LORD,

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 42; 11-16
