By Ndaba Nhuku| Who will help answer these questions? I hope our silly and lazy analysts will expand on them.
By the way, who told the High court judge that the VP deployed the Army and gave the order to slaughter civilians?
Why was President Mnangagwa then saying he didn’t know who deployed the Army and gave the order to shoot civilians if a mere judge knew this?
If an order was given by the VP who also illegally doubled as Minister of Defence, how come only one soldier allegedly carried out the order? Did the other soldiers defy the VP / Minister of Defence’s order?
Why should we trust the judiciary after even the Chief Justice Malaba showed us that the judiciary is not beyond the reach of Mnangagwa’s power? Mnangagwa was Minister of Justice for a long period and most of these judges were promoted during his reign in that ministry.
If Chiwenga ordered the shooting as stated by the judge, why did President Mnangagwa waste our resources setting up an expensive International lnquiry on what we all long said publicly said/ suspected? How much has been spent on the Commission? What does this show of Mnangagwa leadership? Did he have to wait for a judge and the Commission to name Chiwenga when we all knew that the General sent the Army into our streets in the same way he sent them to carry out the coup? Difference is now they killed civilians.
What did the ZNA Commander and ZDB boss say when asked about who had ordered their soldiers into the streets? Surely they knew who had given them the order to deploy the Army!! The soldiers could not just have listened to Chiwenga and not their immediate bosses. If they did not get the order direct command from their ZNA commanders, then what happened to the soldiers who took orders from a retired general than from their own military bosses? Are we saying Chiwenga was running the ZDF whilst VP Sibanda and his gang in the ZDF were timidly hiding in their offices not knowing what was happening to the men we are paying them to lead?
Now that we all know the truth, what next? Will Mnangagwa arrest or fire the VP? I dare Mnangagwa to fire the VP! The judiciary has spoken and action must be taken by our incorruptible and honest president. We can’t have a retired rogue soldier behaving like a trigger happy teenager with our lives.
