Riotous machete wielding ZANU PF thugs whose running battles disturbed movement of people and traffic in the usually peaceful town of Chinhoyi were yesterday unleashed back to the public by a Chinhoyi magistrate.

The four hooligans, fronted by their godfather of violence Kindness Paradza(MP) were engaged in public violence at their party meeting held at Chinhoyi Public Service Training Centre last week.

Without dwelling much into the animalistic behavior of these ZANU PF societal misfits, it is important to focus our lenses on the kangaroo justice that is being served by our courts of law.

Juxtapose the handling of cases of MDC Alliance political activists with that of ZANU PF activists by the judiciary.

The selective application of law is quite shocking!

Our MDC Alliance Youth Assembly National Chairman, Obey Sithole who was arrested way before the Chinhoyi ZANU PF misfits is still battling to regain his freedom two weeks after his incarceration.

Sithole was denied bail at a magistrate court for a petty but malicious charge of ‘public nuisance’ yet ZANU PF activists who committed a serious offence of public violence are already free.

Then there is a classic case of Makomborero Haruzivishe who was convicted and sentenced to 14 months in prison for ‘inciting public violence’ by blowing a whistle.

Haruzivishe was not even granted an opportunity for bail but ZANU PF activists who were actually caught in the very act of public violence are already free.

We have a tilted justice system that make decisions based on political colours.

We now have ZANU PF politicians in judiciary robes!

Time for a political response to politicians sitting in our courts.
