Zanu (PF) zealots are at it again. Every time they are put in a tight situation they blame the MDC. This time when guns are stolen by their own people they are arresting their usual scapegoat – the MDC. When will they admit to an insurrection? When those guns were reported stolen I was surprised when no MDC people were arrested. But then it did not take long. But then it did not take long and we heard an MDC security guy had been taken in with the usual torture stories. If it had not happened we were going to be very surprised and it would have spelt an ill omen for the country. Zanu (PF) should learn to accept defeat with dignity. Things will never be the same for them no matter how they try to delay it. They are finished. They will not regain lost support. The die is cast. – anonymous
