The Emmerson Mnangagwa led government has announced it has begun compensating victims of the 1 August 2018 elections military violence, except MDC President Nelson Chamisa of whom the military decided to kill civilians in order to change 2018 election results – the brutal deployment filmed on the state broadcaster, ZBC in Mnangagwa’s presence.
All the events leading to the military
violence on the 1st of August 2018 were broadcast on LIVE ZBC camera; it was clearly announced by Mnangagwa’s most senior office worker, his special advisor that the military would-be used to change election results so that they match an outcome that is greater than the one ZANU PF won the elections in 1980. (See video).
The government announcement conspicuously avoids Nelson Chamisa the key victim of the massacre.
The state announcement in their media broadsheet carried the following title: “Compensation for August 1 victims commences,” at a time when none of this was taking place.
The report however promised that those who will receive compensation include direct dependents of those killed and the injured whose medical expenses will be covered. This is based on the Motlanthe commission report.
Since the 15th December 2017, soldiers had clear standing military orders to use their military firepower to create and sustain a Presidency for Mnangagwa using LIVE ammunition. There is a
LIVE broadcast video of Mnangagwa’s most senior office worker speaking in Mnangagwa’s presence, (special advisor), Christopher Mutsvangwa, announcing at the ZANU PF national conference the intention to commit acts of military level terror. (LIVE video 15 Dec 2017.) In this video, a threat was sounded to the public that the Zimbabwe Defense Forces would the following year, use their military powers to “mobilize” to ensure Emmerson Mnangagwa returns to state house after the elections with a margin greater than the 1980 poll outcome, which saw
ZANU-PF “win” by a landslide “Comrade President, we are pledging to you our support for the 2018 election. That election, you shall win on a magnitude bigger than the one which we did in
1980, we are going to work hard with our chiefs. We are going to work hard with our illustrious ZDF (the Zimbabwe Defense Forces), the best army in the world, and we want to salute our
general Chiwenga who leads the most professional army in the world…” he said.

Meanwhile the Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs permanent secretary Virginia Mabhiza told the Sunday Mail:
“we have dealt with the issue at the working party level, which I co-chair together with Foreign Affairs, and what we have done is that we have made recommendations to the Ministerial taskforce requesting a budget that should be provided through the Department of Social Welfare to compensate the victims of the August 1 post-election violence.
In terms of implementation, that will largely depend on the availability of funds, so the Department of Social Welfare, who we have brought on board the taskforce, will look into issue of facilitating the compensation.
The quantum of the compensation will have to be assessed by the Ministry of Finance, sitting together with the Department of Social Welfare – those are the people who are supposed to quantify and cause Cabinet to approve.”
