Tinashe Sambiri|MDC Alliance vice president, Hon Tendai Biti has pointed out that Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa is worse than President Robert Mugabe because the current Zanu PF leader has taken brutality and persecution of opposition activists to “unprecedented levels.”

Hon Biti argued that compared to Mr Mnangagwa, Mugabe was a political saint.

“Jacob Mafume’s continued detention exposes the regime’s ruthless capture of state institutions and its unrelenting malice.

Emmerson is a vindictive character without any boundaries .Sadly the State is now reproducing itself in his own image.Mugabe now appears saintly.

This man is surely turning in his grave .The latest faux pas from the regime is around a National Dress.

An illegitimate group of people unable to command love respect and trust from the citizen can never foist a sense of identity or nationhood. Crocodiles don’t build nations…

The Mnangagwa regime has taken the assault on workers rights to new and unprecedented levels .

The devaluation of wages and payments in ZWL$ represents vicious attack on working people .The physical arrests torture and convictions of workers on dubious spurious charges is a new low for Zim,” argued Hon Biti.

In a statement, ARTUZ condemned the conviction and sentencing of its Gender and Welfare representative for Masvingo Province Sheila Chisirimunhu:

“@edmnangagwa
has taken us back to Rhodesia. Cde Sheila sentenced to 16 months imprisonment for protesting against underpayment.

Sheila to serve 10 months in prison. This is an attempt to silence the exploited working class. We are appealing this and this gvt wont know peace.”
