By Simba Chikanza | ANALYSIS | Exactly one month after 17 people were killed by his security forces on allegations of protesting, Emmerson Mnangagwa caused a stir in Saturday afternoon when he threatened to fix more people he said were noisemakers.
Speaking on Saturday, Mnangagwa said the country is now back to normal, a month after his security forces killed the 17 whose deaths he says were stage managed.
Furthermore it comes within 5 months of the 1 August military massacre which was premeditated mass murder his office had announced on state television 15 months before ( on the 15th of December 2017) and his office publicly stated was for the purpose of changing the 2018 election results.
Speaking at the ZANU PF rally (video), Mnangagwa said following the 14 Jan military deployment, “the country now has tranquility, quiet. Now they are planning to create more noise, no, I am telling everyone, the whole country that those who do not like tranquillity, let them do that. Let them go to the noise. But those who like tranquility let them stay at their houses. And we will confront those who want to create noises, and we will fix them. ”
There were some bloggers on Saturday afternoon who claimed that the man was misquoted. They said that the Shona noun: “mhirizhonga” refers to violence.
Mnangagwa is on file video announcing that according to his policies anyone who makes a mistake must lose their assets and be violently assaulted.
Even if one denied the literal Shona meaning, the people Mnangagwa has punished, and this by killing in the last 5 months alone, are those merely voicing their views. He fixed many of the so called “noisemakers” by ending their lives. Most were not even protesters and were of his own party. SEE VIDEO BELOW:
Switzerland meeting suggestions.
While in Switzerland on the sidelines of the Davos World Economic Forum Summit between the 24th and 25 January 2019, I was asked to present before Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration on a topic request: “tell us where we are going wrong on efforts to revive investor confidence.”
While at: The Dolder Grand, Kurhausstrasse 65, where Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube together with a host of ambassadors were assembled, I told them I would not give them a thesis, 2 sentences would be enough. I told them of their mistake. I said: “you are failing to treat your own citizens with the same respect and honour you are giving foreign investors.
You have flown over to Switzerland seeking investors among foreigners. But the richest people in Zimbabwe are not the foreign investors, and the most powerful people are not media practitioners like myself, they are the vendors. Just one vendor.
“I am not a critic who does not provide solutions, I have and continue to prove what I say – and for this reason I shall give you 3 examples of simpletons who have passed through my hands – who 6 years ago were nobodies but for instance the 32 year old Mr Tawanda Kembo is now
running a multi million dollar value company employing over 23 employees. I have personally honoured and supported Mr Kembo since 2012 assisting him where I can, including buying out his previous online business.“
I gave them a second example us another Zimbabwe with a multi-billion dollar business which they have ignored.
I thus have living proof that when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is observed, citizens become productive and the economy improves.
I repeated my request that they must stop the house raids by soldiers, the beatings and torturing of civilians.
I told them that if they implement this simple suggestion, I would be willing to participate in a review of progress and assist where possible.
I also presented statistics stretching for over 14 years that show that the search for investment markets in Zimbabwe has never been divorced from the search for human rights conduct; in other words investors will never put their money in a country riddled with human rights
violations.
I was about to tell them of the 3rd example when the time for my flight ran out and I needed to leave.
