Time to rid ourselves of ruffians

EDITOR - What is happening to Edmund Kudzayi, who now curiously carries the dual identity of Baba Jukwa as well as Mai Jukwa, is a microcosm of the rot that has manifested itself in our beautiful country over a long period of time under the leadership of ruffians.

Whenever Zanu (PF) is under pressure, they are very quick to create a diversionary story. Often, this is in the form of persecution of innocent citizens. In extreme circumstances, they can even go as far as eliminating one of their own. Accepting that Rex Nhongo’s death was caused by a candle is taking imagination too far. His death smells like a product of ruffians!

With the economy fast crumbling and causing nightmares in every Zanu (PF) bed, creation of different news became necessary. Recently, the state media was awash with news of mega salaries. Unsuspecting citizens were forced to focus on that, hoping that somewhere along the way, perpetrators would be brought to book.

Realising that most if not all of the culprits were somehow linked to Zanu (PF), the cases were dropped progressively or simply fizzled out. Happison Muchechetere, Cuthbert Dube and many others who were presented as the epitome of this rot, will never know what it means to spend a night in Zimbabwe’s filthy and inhumane police and prison cells.

And yet, Edmund Kudzayi, for merely doing his job as new editor of The Sunday Mail, has spent several some cold nights in a place not even fit for pigs or dogs. Ruffians at it again!

Kudzayi never demonstrated that he was a flight risk nor a violent person. Why anybody would deem it fit to take this sacrificial lamb to the alter of political expediency in leg irons, just beats the mind. If this is not a demonstration of prodigious barbarism, what is?

It would have made perfect sense if those busy looting our natural resources and those illegally dishing out farms to 10-year-olds were the ones put in this situation. It is this kind of economic sabotage that is more treasonous than the charges that “Baba/Mai Jukwa” is facing. If indeed Baba Jukwa is a national security risk and young Kudzayi is that person, then the ruffians who sought his services in whatever capacity without carrying out adequate background checks, must be sent to the gallows! – Moses Chamboko, info@zunde.org
