Former Vice President Joice Mujuru yesterday overcame attempts to block her from holding her maiden rally in Bindura and warned President Robert Mugabe that he, like other dictators such as Gaddafi, could be consumed by the people’s power if he continues to use repression as a tool against protestors.
Thousands of Zimbabwe People First (ZPF), the party which Mujuru now leads following her sacking from government and Zanu PF by Mugabe, defied intimidation to come out in huge numbers to attend her maiden rally in the province which used to be her stomping ground.
Mujuru’s rally was held on the backdrop of a police ban on demonstrations in Harare after a wave of protests unnerved the ruling party.
“I was in government for 36 years hapana chozivikanwa. (he knows nothing) Zanu PF is against development.
“I tried to introduce developmental projects but they resisted that.
“Mugabe, people are now tired they do not want to be suppressed anymore,” warned Mujuru to loud cheers.
“The Bindura Town Council tried to block our rally, saying it would be violent but they failed to do so. “I was waiting for this day in Mashonaland Central where there are well known thugs.
“But I don’t want you to kill people for me to be the president. We showed them that our party is strong.
“Ndiri mwana wenyu handina kurasa hunhu ndichiko aiva manyepo amaiudzwa (I have not gone rogue, all that you heard were lies),” added Mujuru, who was sacked by Mugabe in the run-up to the Zanu PF December, 2014 congress on untested allegations of plotting to topple him.
Turning to war veterans, Mujuru, herself a respected ex-combatant, said Zanu PF no longer respects the people who fought for the country’s independence.
“We want to respect war veterans and not behave like a person who is never tired of travelling, a person who would like to have his passport stamped in every country,” said Mujuru. dailynews

it will be sad if this guy expired this easily. he needs to have had a saddam or gaddaffi moment! others go even further and suggest a ‘sgt samuel k doe’ one! good thing is that the longer the POOR guy hangs on, the more the prospects of either…..
and when the end finally comes, it is not cooked from outside – or within zanu-pf – but from ‘very close to the skin’ – shall we call it that. and that is short-hand for betrayal!!
and that is how samuel k doe, slobodan milosevic, saddam, gaddaffi and countless others have gone…
sit back people and enjoy the blood bath, for we are now in BETRAYAL SEASON!
those who will make it to the end in that evil outfit are those WHO WILL BETRAY OTHERS FIRST.
who will????
I see pictures down the (short) line with the caption underneath them: “so-and-so and so-and-so … in good times” (left) … and “the …….. end when it came” (right)
IT COULD BE ANY ONE OF THEM!!!
the ballot box belongs to zanu, Elections need international observers to stop this ongoing theft and lies by zanupflooters
“Go Gadafi style!” It means panonga paitapaita “Arab Spring” hanti? Sekuru vakati hazviiti…….
You never know the numbers by head count pa rally. Many factors influence attendance ku rally.
The ballot box is the ultimate measure.
Mugabe achiendako ndo the same volume of supporters vanenge variko, Tsvangison the same saka ane vanhu ndiani manje…kutamba
