Today we remember fellow comrades who lost their lives in the 2008 Zanu PF state sponsored political violence. Never again shall the people of Zimbabwe be exposed to such cruelty.

Writes Hardlife Mudzingwa: “Today 27 June is a day that reminds us of the effects of a corrupt and rotten political culture.
Whilst people live to tell a story, some today have vivid memories of the agony they went through. Will have 3 incidents to narrate in memory of 27 June 2008.
1) My mom’s form of livelihood was looted under the guise of “protecting Zimbabwean sovereignty”. Zanu-pf youths came during the night and took all the road runners and pigeons that my mom kept for us to enjoy. Under the “Command Element” of Major Svosve who had been deployed to our rural area under Operation Maguta, youths were instructed to collect food in the same manner that comrades did it during the war. My own young brother was forced to flee the area wearing a dress like a woman. I have not stated this as a water activist but let me do so today: I WILL NEVER CELEBRATE MILITARY INTERVENTION IN POLITICS INCLUDING THE SO-CALLED “OPERATION RESTORE LEGACY”. I lost relatives and friends because of Command Elements and military involvement in politics.
2) A touching story is that of a friend of mine whom i visited during era of GNU in Uzumba. He invited me to tell a secret. In exchange with life Zanu-pf youths told his two wives to satisfy their sexual desires at the base. They raped these two women everyday @the base. Some of the people involved are part of the “NEW DISPENSATION”. One guy was forced to sit on a hole with a cobra inside. Full details of these cases are contained in a document entitled “THE ANATOMY OF TERROR”.
3) Personally i was not spared in Glen View North. People working in CSO sector were labelled “agents of regime change” pushing Must Must Go mission. Surprisingly the same military pushed for Mugabe Ouster in November 2017 and our current government is wining and dining with the same British Government that was labelled evil and devilish. I was bashed by army @ the gate of Glen View 8 Primary School. Thanks to the Counselling & Services Unit for providing free medical services including the plaster on my left arm.
