'We'll Not Allow Anarchy Here'
PRESIDENT Mugabe has warned the MDC against harbouring anarchist ambitions in the event of defeat on Saturday saying such impudent adventures will be met with the full wrath of the law.
Cde Mugabe, who was addressing thousands of Zanu-PF supporters at Nyanga Country Club yesterday, cited utterances by MDC MP for St Mary’s Job Sikhala whom he said announced that the opposition would embark on Kenya-style disturbances if Zanu-PF wins.
Similar sentiments have also been made by MDC faction leader Morgan Tsvangirai, and faction spokesperson Nelson Chamisa, who were quoted as saying if Zanu-PF wins, Kenya would look like a picnic.
The inflammatory statements, which have been condemned by progressive people countrywide, prompted the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Cde Patrick Chinamasa, to lodge a complaint with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, saying such utterances were tantamount to intimidating the electorate.
Kenya was thrown into turmoil after the opposition Orange Democratic Movement refused to accept the outcome of presidential elections that retained incumbent President Mwai Kibaki of the Party for National Unity. The post-election violence claimed over 1 500 lives and displaced over 650 000 others, many of whom fled to neighbouring countries, particularly Uganda.
‘‘Zvino tinoda kuvati ivo veMDC, makabvuma kuiswa makasho muhuro, mutambo wenyu ngaunake. Tiri kunzwa vamwe venyu, vana Job Sikhala vachiti ah Zanu-PF ikahwina tichaita mhere-mhere yekuKenya, zviitei muone, zviitei muone. Hatitambe, kana muchiyanzva maBritish enyu, muchazviona, mukangozviita izvozvo. We want to see you do it.
‘‘Tinoda runyararo munyika muno, toda kuti vanhu vavhote murunyararo but no nonsense after victory. Tinoda peace now, peace tomorrow, vanhu vaite mabasa avo zvakanaka. When you join in a political fight by way of an election, you must be prepared to lose. You will win some seats, you will lose some.
‘‘If you lose more seats, others win more than they lose. You must accept it. If Zanu-PF wins you must accept it, if you win we will accept. We have accepted it all along. Muchihwina mumatowns, hatina kumbofa takaramba. There was never an occasion when we said you did not win. But imi munoda to tell lies, lies ‘there has been rigging’. Ndivo vakauya with the language of rigging. There was no language of rigging in this country until the MDC,’’ Cde Mugabe said to applause from the crowd.
Police have since declared zero tolerance for politically motivated violence, and have held anti-violence marches in Harare and Marondera, in addition to launching a blitz on all forms of violence. They have also warned all political parties to respect the outcome of the elections or face the full force of the law.
Cde Mugabe said MDC leaders were speaking the language of their masters who have since pre-judged the election. The EU recently issued a statement claiming the electoral environment was not conducive for free and fair elections, a claim that has been repeated ad nauseum by their ambassadors accredited to Zimbabwe prompting analysts to say the Westerners were running scared after sensing a Zanu-PF victory.
‘‘We know these are the lies they borrow from their masters, because their masters now are saying the elections will not be free and fair. The damn liars, devilish liars that they are. They never tell the truth, never the truth in Number 10 Downing Street, never the truth in Washington, about us, never ever,’’ Cde Mugabe said.
Cde Mugabe said the MDC had adopted the culture of lies mastered by their handlers in the West who never tell the truth about Zimbabwe, the same way they were lying about the illegal sanctions they imposed, which sanctions they claimed were targeted at top Zanu-PF and Government leaders.
Cde Mugabe told the gathering that the sanctions — that were imposed at the instigation of the MDC — were behind the socio-economic hardships people are facing. He said no British or American companies, apart from those already here, are allowed to conduct business with Zimbabwe, the same way American officials at multilateral lending institutions were instructed to vote against the extension of any credit to Zimbabwe.
Despite this, Cde Mugabe said, Government would continue working to improve people’s livelihoods.
The Look East Policy, he said, had since begun to bear fruit as evidenced by improved foreign currency inflows.
He said the Westerners were also looking East, and found themselves in a Catch-22 situation since they could not bar Zimbabwe from accessing
‘the goods their companies were producing in the East.
Cde Mugabe chronicled the critical role played by Manicaland in the liberation struggle, saying the province that gave the nation luminaries like the late national heroes Cde Herbert Wiltshire Chitepo and Chief Rekayi Tangwena had a duty to safeguard their legacy by voting overwhelmingly for Zanu-PF on Saturday.
Our Mutare Bureau reports that at his second star rally, attended by thousands of supporters, at Sakubva Stadium in Mutare, Cde Mugabe said Zimbabweans must reject Western-sponsored opposition parties because their masters were the initiators of the socio-economic problems the country is facing.
He said Britain and Australia were bankrolling the opposition in a bid to effect regime change following a fallout over land, and that Britain and Australia had since confirmed pumping U$18 million and £3 million into the opposition coffers.
"We must deliver the final blow against the British on March 29. We are voting against the British, not the MDC, which is the puppet of British.
"We are under siege and they are desperate for a regime change because we took our land. The land now belongs to its rightful black owners," said President Mugabe.
"MDC is a creation of the West. It was formed to reverse the land reform. It is not our fault, but when (Mr) Blair refused to honour his country’s obligation to fund the land reform, we said, ah waramba nemari, gara nemari yako, keep your money and we take our land," said President Mugabe.
He said while Zanu-PF and Zimbabwe owed their history in the liberation struggle that claimed the precious blood of the likes of Herbert Chitepo, Josiah Tongogara and Josiah Ziyapapa Moyo, among thousands who perished at Nyadzonia, Chimoio and Tete in Mozambique, it was shocking to note that some cadres had abandoned it at the instigation of the West.
"Kuuya kwamaita kufuratira kupoya kwakaitwa musango naSimba Makoni naDumiso (Dabengwa). Inga kana mudanga mombe dzinopoya wani, hamungaputse dangaka nekuti dzapoya, danga rinogara riripo. VaMutasa (Didymus), tinonzwisisa shungu dzenyu kuti sei zvakadai izvizvi zviri kuitika kuno kuManicaland kunove ndiko kwakabva magamba akaita saVaChitepo.
"You should not cry much because Makoni is a minor, aitove zvake kuchikoro vamwe vari kuhondo," said President Mugabe.
He also attacked Britain for internationalising a bilateral conflict which culminated in the imposition of sanctions by its Western allies against Harare.
He said the sanctions were disguised as targeted, when they were aimed at punishing the country and suffocating it economically.
President Mugabe said although the imposition of sanctions was a desperate bid to coerce the people’s revolution into backtracking, it dismally failed to achieve its desired objectives.
"Knowing that they are staring defeat, the British are prejudging that the election will not be free and fair. Why are they not going to be free and fair? Lies, lies, these devils never know the truth. You can never go into an agreement with them, they are hypocrites.
"They devised painful ways of punishing us, sanctions and sanctions. They imposed sanctions saying there is no democracy, there is no rule of law, and there is no respect of human rights and property rights. Our fundamental differences emanated from the deadlock on land. They pretend that the sanctions are targeted, but have crippled trading, investment and balance of payments. They are not targeted, but meant to hurt our country. We are in a war situation, this is a time to fight, not pleasure," said President Mugabe.
Cde Mugabe commissioned 23 buses, the first tranche of 35, to be distributed to districts throughout the province
