We explain the long sleeves / short sleeves, the burnt homes, all the brutalities of the fascist Zanu (PF) regime, but still we are asked: ‘what about non-co-operation, passive resistance . . .?’
It is not for the diaspora in the safety in London to tell people to go out and be beaten but our sister organisation Restoration of Human Rights in Zimbabwe, responding to the feeling of desperation, has decided they must publicly stand with the people of Chitingwiza and Epworth, whose houses are being demolished in a new Murambatsvina.
And whatever the reservations about Morgan Tsvangirai’s leadership, we at the Vigil applaud his decision to exercise his constitutional right and take to the streets to protest about the cataclysmic failure of the Zanu (PF) regime. Will he be the man to stop the tanks?
We are informed that the EU Embassy in Harare has a detailed dossier on the seizure of white farmer David Conolly’s Centenary Farm at Figtree by Dr Ray Ndhlukula, who is the point man for the government when it comes to foreign direct investment. The Vigil’s source says the Embassy gives each would-be investor from the EU a copy of this dossier before they go off to meet Dr Ndhlukula.
“It is suggested that he is losing his sense of humour having to explain the contradictions between his complete disregard for the law and property rights and trying to inveigle investors into sinking their hard earned money into such an investment unfriendly environment.”
