ZANU PF President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said that no rule of law has been breached in Zimbabwe during his presidency. Speaking to a Nikkei journalist during an interview during the just ended TICAD, Mnangagwa there is not even one incident where the rule of law has been broken.

Mnangagwa had been asked concerning a crackdown against demonstrators and how that could be the reason for sanctions by the US against Zimbabwe, and below were his answers –

A: There has been no incident where the rule of law has been breached. Not even one incident. We apply the rule of law; those who commit crime, the law must apply. You cannot have double standards where the rule of law (applies); if people funded by the Americans commit crimes, we should not touch them? No! Zimbabwe is a unitary State and our laws apply to every citizen, whether you are in the opposition or you are in Government or don’t belong to any political party at all. If you commit murder, you get arrested; if you commit corruption, you get arrested; any violent act, you get arrested. That is the rule of law which we observe

I would like you to quote an action where Zimbabwe has acted outside the rule of law, then I would like to hear that.
