Anthony Reeler Demands for constitutional reform were in full spate, as were demands for a new relationship between the various players in the economic field. With the launch of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), the scene seemed set for trouble in the new millennium, but few could have predicted the intensity and the scale. The story today Over the past twelve years, since the result of the Constitutional Referendum in February 2000, there has once again been an epidemic of organized violence and torture in Zimbabwe. This has been documented like no period before, and an enormous number of reports are available.18 More importantly, the reports emanating from Zimbabwean organizations have been corroborated by the reports of international organizations.19 In addition, there have been regular reports on the political violence that has affected the country, as well as accurate reporting on the election petitions being heard before the High Court of Zimbabwe.20 Thus, it is possible to provide a very clear analysis of both the violence and who is responsible for this violence. If you are a victim of the current organized violence and torture, you are almost certainly believed to be a member of the Movement for Democratic Change, but in reality you could either be a member of the MDC, the National Constitutional Assembly, a civil servant, a member of a civic organization, or even just an ordinary citizen. The point here is that the violence is targeted at any person or group that is believed not be an active supporter of ZANU(PF). The notion of ‘sell-out’ has had a new and extremely broad extension, and no one is safe unless they declare active allegiance to ZANU(PF). See fn. 3, above.
