Zim: Hungry Zanu PF youths turn on their masters

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Gweru – Street kids and Zanu PF supporters, who had been ferried from resettlement areas to demonstrate against MDC MP Roy Bennett who manhandled two cabinet ministers in Parliament a week ago, destroyed war veterans’ offices in Gweru after failing to get the food they had been promised for taking part in the demonstration. After nearly three-hours demonstration, pandemonium broke out at the war veterans’ office when close to 3000 tired looking and hungry Zanu PF activists, who had been singing and toyi-toying, found that the food they were promised as inducement to demonstrate was not available. The youths claimed that only senior party officials “feasted” after the demonstration, leaving the rest of them hungry outside the building. “This is the last time I will be used by the war veterans. They promised to give us food after the demonstration, but they did not fulfill their promise,” said an elderly woman, who preferred anonymity fearing victimization. Some of the demonstrators, who had been bused into the city from nearby resettlement areas, had to use their own money to pay for bus fare back home after the transport, which had been hired to bring them for the demonstration, did not show up for the return trip. The demonstration by the ruling party was in solidarity with two ministers, Patrick Chinamasa for Legal and Parliamentary Affairs and Didymus Mutasa, for Anti-Corruption and Anti-Monopolies, who were floored by Bennett after Chinamasa hailed abuse at the MDC legislator. During the demonstration, the youths allegedly went berserk beating up innocent people in the city centre and burning mock coffins and papers near the mayor’s offices. The police, who accompanied the demonstrators, watched in silence as the demonstrators took the law into their own hands.

On Monday last week, police officers attached to Gweru Rural Police Station, marched and toy-toyed in the city centre while mimicking the Zimbabwe Television jingle ‘Sendekera Mwana Wevhu’. Soldiers have also become a permanent feature on the streets of Gweru most afternoons as they march around the city singing and chanting Zanu PF songs. Contacted for comment, Lyson Mlambo, the MDC Midlands chairperson, said according to the country’s constitution, soldiers and police officers are supposed to be non-partisan. He said by singing ruling party songs at parades, police officers were showing that they were partisan and violent. Efforts to get a comment from police spokesperson, assistant commissioner Wayne Bvudzijena were fruitless as his mobile phone went unanswered. Mlambo also hit out at chiefs who agree to be used by Zanu PF and said such traditional leaders risked losing the respect of the people they represent. He said some of the chiefs were only holding their positions because of their “marriage” to the ruling party.
