CABINET MINISTER Saviour Kasukuwere has promised to investigate reports that riot police brutally beat up a human rights activist protesting xenophobic violence outside the South African embassy in Harare.
In an attack that has been condemned by global watchdog Amnesty International, video footage shows riot police using their batons to beat Sydney Chisi outside the embassy in Belgravia suburb on Friday.
Chisi had to be taken for hospital treatment in Harare. Several other protesters were also reported injured.
Amnesty’s Noel Kututwa, the group’s regional director for southern Africa, said in a statement: “The brutal beating of Sydney Chisi by anti-riot police is abhorrent.
“It is against international standards on policing of peaceful demonstrations. This must stop.”
Responding to complaints about the attack on Twitter, environment minister, Saviour Kasukuwere said: “Will investigate and if true it’s unacceptable. The law must deal with perpetrators.”
In another tweet he said: “What is wrong is wrong. Period.”
Riot police have beaten up members of opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) in recent years, though incidents have been much less frequently reported since a coalition government was formed in 2009.
That government ended in 2013 when President Robert Mugabe was returned to power.
His rival MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s popularity has waned and he is seen as much less of a political threat by the Mugabe government.
Zimbabweans have speculated online that Friday’s attacks may have been partly provoked by posters carried by some protesters that mentioned the 91-year-old president’s wife Grace.
One of the posters read: “Grace, stop dancing with Zuma when Zimbos are dying,” a reference to the Mugabes’ state visit last week to South Africa.
Another placard urged Zimbabwe’s first lady to “say something [because] xenophobia will catch up with you soon in Singapore,” in a reference to trips Grace and her husband make frequently to the Far East, sometimes for health reasons.
Kasukuwere asked for video footage of the violence to be sent to him.

“Righteous Justice” just answer ONE simple question: do you have any SOLID & TANGIBLE EVIDENCE that ZPF is behind the abduction & disappearance of Dzamara??!! [Pliz note that speculation, rumours, etc do NOT count]
“Righteous Justice”, do not let your anger, bitterness & frustration blind you to certain objective realities:
(a) do you have any TANGIBLE evidence -beyond the hearsay, speculation and pub-talk -that the abduction of Dzamara was actually sanctioned and carried out by ZPF??!!
(b) the on-going xenophobic attacks in SA are NOT targeting Zimbos only; blacks from Mozambique, Ethiopia, Somalia, Nigeria, etc are also being attacked. This is why it has been correctly observed that the correct description of the mindless violence is AFROPHOBIA

@zvazviri: well then where exactly is Itai???? Believe you me ZPF felt very threatened by this gentle and brave man. It amazes me how you denigrate Itai when 35 years have shown the absolute monster ZPF have turned out to be. Whoever you are why don’t you arrange for ZPF to return Itai in one piece and then you can chirp again; otherwise it would be wise for you to hold your tongue. Judgment-God’s judgment is coming on all this bloodshed/hatred/violence and oppression and much much more unless there is total and real repentance!

God is watching. Zimbabwe has now descended into the pits. We call for the immediate resignation of Mugabe and the entire ZPF. That would be the only decent thing to do. Saviour’s words mean nothing to us to be honest. We are sick of this violent, oppressive, suppressive and bloodthirsty regime. They have been given ample time to repent and change their dirty ways and yet they continue with swaggering insolence. They haven’t a clue what to do next except to beat up and or kidnap/torture the next peaceful protestor. if I was RGM I would also spend most of my time out of the country. things are getting a tad too hot for him. Its because of him that SA has a problem with Zim illegals desperate for a semblance of a normal life. May God have mercy on us.

The above story was written by somebody who has a very fertile imagination and avidly loves fiction!! However, there are certain holes in this fiction work:
(a) there is simply NO way that Dzamara could be perceived as a “serious threat to Zanu PF”!! To illustrate, his protests at Africa Unity Square were a pathetic & total flop, attracting a crowd of 10 people!! Dzamara himself is a failed journo, having been sacked by one of the so-called “independent” newspaper publishers; and he was now trying to re-invent himself as a political activist. Thus to believe that a huge party like ZPF could feel threatened by such a nonentity is both ludicrous and ridiculous.
(b) it’s laughable and silly that the author thinks that “African justice” can only be manufactured in Malawi or Nigeria!! Hasn’t the author heard of NGOZI, the avenging spirit, here in Zim without the need to travel anywhere??!! By the way, the phenomenon of ngozi does NOT even need one to consult a n’anga
(c) the “asijiki” signature was popularised by Baba Jukwa [BJ], yes, that phantom figure suffering from delusions of grandeur, who thought he could single-handedly destroy ZPF. BJ’s death certificate was confirmed by the shattering victory of Gushaz & ZPF in the 2013 polls; so any attempted “resurrection” now will just be fictional!!

ITAI DZAMARA
We received this information on the 22nd of March .
Itai Dzamara was abducted on the orders of Savior Kasukuwere after he was perceived as a serious threat to Zanu Pf.Kasukuwere is running a parallel CIO unit,tasked with secretly eliminating all perceived threats to the rule of Robert Mugabe,including in Zanu Pf.The head of Counter intelligence,Walter Basopo confronted Kasukuwere about this some time back.
Among those who kidnapped Itai Dzamara were Luke Chapinga and Floyd Kabadza.They demanded he renounce his activism in return he would receive $600 a month tax free and other benefits.Dzamara refused.They denied him food and water for days,electrocuting him on the private parts,he messed himself.They beat him up with whips and fists and still he refused their demands.In a faint voice he told them they were his brothers and that they should not be doing what they were doing to him as they also stood to benefit from the removal of Mugabe.He told them he was fighting for everyones future.
They told him they only follow orders.Finally they took him to a bush near Norton.They tied his hands behind his back and forced him to kneel down.They shot him in the head.They had a drum with acid.His body was dissolved in acid just like what they did to Rashiwe Guzha.What was left over they covered with pitsand and cement.
One of the guys is being haunted by Itai Dzamara’s innocent voice he told a trusted colleague who informed our link.We have been burdened to share this information with the public but it has to be done.Our link is very very reliable and well connected,we sincerely hope it is not true,but by now he should have been back with his family.They no longer have him and that is the sad truth.
However there are African ways of getting justice like the family of Rashiwe Guzha and the Chokuda’s of Gokwe did.Itai Dzamara’s family must be assisted in traveling to Nigeria or Malawi to get African justice.Kasukuwere must see Itai Dzamara in broad daylight whilst noone else can see him.He must talk to him and hear his voice.His whole family must suffer African special justice,it is there and it is perfectly within moral right to dish it to those who get away with such henious crimes.Ngozi is one of the ways we can make these murderers pay.Those who can help,please help them.Every one involved in the Dzamara tragedy should suffer unbearable torture.They should be made to go insane,moving naked and speaking to themselves.Their families should suffer mysterious and inexplicable happenings.Top of that list should be the heartless Kasukuwere.
Asijiki.

Border Gezi clowns… They’ll kill you without betting an eyelid. I think it’s wiser and safer to wait on our 92-year-old dictator to see his death and live than to waste your life like that when he might be dead before the year is up.

Zanu PF is a party of murderous thugs and after 35 years of thuggery an 30 000 murdered; it is naive to think they can now change and be anything else!

Promises (especially coming from Kasukuwere are a comfort to a fool! You have to be really daft to think he means it. First he must deliver the 2 million jobs….
