Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum Special Report
Enforcing the Rule of Law in Zimbabwe
‘Mukabata veMDC rovayi kudzamara vafa. Mapurazi nedzimba dzevashandi pisai mokasika
kutiza tozoti varungu vapisa misha yevasevenzi vavo. Mhanyai munomhangara kumapurisa
nekuti ndevedu.’
(If you get hold of MDC supporters, beat them until they are dead. Burn their farms and their
workers’ houses, then run away fast and we will then blame the burning of the workers’
houses on the whites. Report to the police, because they are ours.)
A Zimbabwean resident in the UK noted that ‘Phillip Chiyangwa showed UK residents the true
picture of Mugabe’s regime.’ What the Attorney-General’s Office and the police may do about
this flagrant abuse of many laws by an MP remains to be seen. Chiyangwa is an equally
outspoken champion of indigenous economic ‘empowerment’.
