Dear Sir, His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa!
I am writing you today because of everything that has happen since the 12th January 2019. This has now been in t0 days of violence, killings and detaining the opposition, activists and also intimidate innocent civilians. Because of your state own actions and internet blockade, but also the Social Media Blockade, which has ensured the lack of verified accounts on all the state sponsored activity done with your blessing.
Mr. President, the tale of what is happening is well-known for you. You know what the soldiers are doing. You know what the Police Officers are doing and what the Judges are charging several of activists, union-leaders and opposition leaders too. Therefore, you know what is happening and the actions done by your authorities towards the citizens.
That is why its insulting reading your statement. Like your trying to look like a reformer and someone who is changing society. When your really using the fuel crisis and Shutdown to silence the ones who has a voice against you.
So when you wrote this today, were you in a serious state:
“ Likewise, violence or misconduct by our security forces is unacceptable and a betrayal of the new Zimbabwe. Chaos and insubordination will not be tolerated. Misconduct will be investigated. If required, heads will roll. I invite leaders of all political parties as well as religious and civil leaders to set aside our differences and come together. What unites us is stronger than what could ever divide us. Let’s begin a national dialogue. Let’s put the economy first. Let’s put the people first. Likewise, violence or misconduct by our security forces is unacceptable and a betrayal of the new Zimbabwe. Chaos and insubordination will not be tolerated. Misconduct will be investigated. If required, heads will roll. I invite leaders of all political parties as well as religious and civil leaders to set aside our differences and come together” (Emmerson Mnangagwa, 22.01.2019).
Why I don’t trust your words? Because, we all saw how you acted when it came to the 1st August 2018 Post-Election Violence and Inquiry, which was a salute to blame the opposition, but not take anyone who ordered the guns on the protesters in the streets of Harare. That wasn’t important than, and isn’t important now. We know that by your previous actions. Only your image and the possibilities it is supposed to bring.
However, Mr. President, your not acting like a man who cares about the toil, the tears and the grieve. You act like a President who has no issues using the force of the army and authorities to silence them. You have no trouble putting treason charges on anyone who stand-up to the ZANU-PF rule.
Mr. President, you have not created a NEW ZIMBABWE. This is the same old Zimbabwe. Your actions and words doesn’t fit to the reports. As the intimidations continues, the sorrows are still trickling out. While hard to verify, still their voices are vital to get a feedback on the state of the Republic.
Mr. President if you really did care, you wouldn’t talk like this and act like this. Travel away for so, as the fire are getting worse. No one really planning to put it out and find way to rebuild. Instead you stayed away, until rumours of your demise happen. Then you couldn’t hang out with the wealthy at Davos. Therefore, Mr. President you are far from creating a New Zimbabwe.
You are delivering a sinister, evil resemblance of the one of the past. Mr. President, you are not changing the Republic. You are not showing the world a New Zimbabwe. You are not opening up Zimbabwe for business, but your actions are closing it. There is no transparency, there is no proof something sustainable and trustworthy. The only thing you trust is using the army and using force, not building things and talking about the issues. You are just using the AK’s and hoping they will settle the score.
They might make one more person stop, but the idea is still lingering on. The idea of freedom, liberty and principals of rule of law, which is all equal to all.
Mr. President, if you believe in any of the words your are writing. As long as the weapons are pointing at innocent civilians, who just happens to be near the soldiers. You are in the wrong side of history, you are at the wrong side of barrel; Mr. President you are the one that is in-charge and should make it stop. Not make the voices showing discomfort and discontent against you and your party, STOP.
With sincerely sad disbelief that you though a PR Stunt would change the narrative
