By Farai D Hove| The ZANU PF Youth League has declared that they refuse a government of national unity with MDC Alliance leader, Nelson Chamisa. They made characterisation  claims against Chamisa saying that he is an advocate of people’s suffering, a direct inference to the US sanctions bill, ZIDERA.

ZIDERA was declared law by US President Donald Trump after the Zimbabwean army began attacks on civilians on the 1st August 2018 under the guise of arresting protesters (the latter who were in fact ZANU PF party actors). In the attacks at least 6 people were shot dead, several injured, many in neighbourhoods beaten up, and houses destroyed.

A recent survey has found that the core source of the masses’ poverty is military brutality.

But the ZANU PF youth league’s leader Pupurai Togarepi blamed Chamisa. He also made claims that Chamisa is seeking a government of national unity for which he said he does not deserve it. Said Togarepi,  “we are hearing already that the opposition is mulling an inclusive Government. As Zanu-PF youths we are totally against that and the opposition must never dream of such.

“You see, we cannot form an inclusive Government with people who call for sanctions on our people.

“We cannot be in an inclusive Government with someone who calls for people’s suffering, no we cannot do that. After all, they lost the election, so they must forget about it and maybe look forward to 2023.

“They know that sanctions will affect the ordinary people like us and they will blame the Government for that and make people believe that the Government is failing yet they are the very people who called for these sanctions.”
