  • SADC President Failure

16th AUG 2024 at the door to No 10 with smiling Police woman"THE CHARADE in ZIMBABWE"

Sub heading for this entire report

Dateline Friday 16th August 2024: Whitehall, London 12:00 noon

Zimbabweans started arriving opposite the gates to 10 Downing Street at around 12:00 {high noon!}, although due to travelling great distances a few were in London for 8:00am. [Read our Petition at this LINK.]

However, in the run up to the visitation by SADC tomorrow {17th August 2024} regarding the passing over of the {rotational}  SADC Chairmanship, ED Mnangagwa has gone full scale psychotic paranoia national white-wash programme! 

Roads that have not seen tarmac for decades, suddenly got a 'top-coat' {straight onto the sand in many cases so in a month or two - it will be a pot-holed obstacle course} - but hey, whenever have Zanu done a quality job? Verges were tidied up whilst others were painted! They even claimed they were going to build luxury apartment for the visiting SADC 'Heads of State' {alas these despite the Swiss 'expertise' are still unfinished - again typical Zanu PF bodge-up?

But the most unsettling aspect of this purely ceremonial SADC chairmanship, was the ruthless forward planning for months in advance by the psychotic ED and his band of paranoid sadistic CIO's, Police and Military personnel - press-ganged into detaining anybody and everybody they could think of who may/may not, possibly/maybe lead to ED being "embarrassed" about the nation he has plundered for so, so long. The insanity of Zanu paranoia should be a 'case-study' in future annals of political-psychology teachings.

The breath-taking hypocrisy of ED trying to polish a t**d of his own making.

But the degree of human suffering meted out by the psychotic Zanu PF machine, in these preceding months cannot be over emphasised. Abductions without due cause, torture, beatings detention without trials, without representation, for months on end. The Zanu PF regime is failing on every measure of an "administration" - worse, they cannot legally claim to be a Government - in part due to SADC's own SECOM findings!  Cheif Ndiweni made this exact point outside Number 10 Downing Street this afternoon. {Video Link to Follow}

But, let us not forget what other Election observers have said about the 23-24th August 2023 Zimbabwe Elections! A few will be cited further below. 

More telling, is the arrest of the Election Observers! Who were trying to validate and tabulate the actual votes! Typical Zanu PF "thinking" - lets put a stop to that and arrest them all! Zanu PF cannot even think as a government - their deep seated psychosis is so complete, that their 'knee-jerk' reactions, to arrest, capture and torture any and every form of "opposition" beit from anybody - even foreign observers.

The fraudulent ZEC and its entire administration has plenty to hide from the 'eyes' of the World's election observers.

In part 2 of this report we shall see the global headlines issued on the 16th August 2024 regarding this "CHARADE in ZIMBABWE"

Petition to Sir Keir Starmer

image thanks to @steve_hankeTO THE NEWLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT, fao Sir Keir Starmer; PRIME MINISTER OF THE UK

THE ONGOING CONSTITUTIONAL INJUSTICE, INCACERATION OF THE OPPOSITION MEMBERS ALIGNED TO ADVOCATE NELSON CHAMISA, AND ABUSE OF HUMAN RIGHTS.

We, as the Zimbabwean diaspora, have written several petitions to the UK government {including the FCDO} and carried out various protests in the UK against the Zanu-PF regime in Zimbabwe. Which we feel have illegally and unconstitutionally declared itself as the elected government of Zimbabwe. With ED Mnangagwa as their {illegal} President!

Emmerson Mnangagwa, the current President of Zimbabwe, has been accused of using various tactics to maintain power and suppress opposition, including:

  1. Coercion and intimidation: Using security forces to silence political opponents and critics.
  2. Propaganda and disinformation: Controlling state media to spread false information and propaganda.
  3. Repression of dissent: Cracking down on protests and demonstrations, often with violence.
  4. Patronage and clientelism: Rewarding loyalists with government positions and resources.
  5. Electoral manipulation: Allegedly rigging elections to maintain power.
  6. Divisive politics: Using ethnic and regional divisions to consolidate power.
  7. Corruption and cronyism: Accused of enriching himself and allies through corrupt means.
  8. Surveillance and infiltration: Infiltrating opposition parties and civil society organizations.
  9. Lawfare: Using the legal system to silence opponents and critics.
  10. Charm offensive: Presenting himself as a reformer and democrat to international audiences.

These tactics have been criticized by opposition parties, civil society, and international observers, who accuse Mnangagwa of undermining democracy and human rights in Zimbabwe.

Indeed, the failure to respect the voting intentions of the Zimbabwean people, in the {highly disputed} elections carried out over 23-24th August 2023 – but the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission {ZEC} have never declared the voting numbers to this date, they simply claimed that Mnangagwa had “won” with 54% of the total vote.

13th Dec 2023 DEMO 13ZHRO Statement {PRESS RELEASE: 15th Nov 2023} on the Abduction & Subsequent Murder of Tapfumanei Masaya, Job Sikhala Detention and the Election Rigging Farrago

26th November 2023:-  The United Nations are seeking an Investigation

In preparation for a mass demonstration on the 13th December 2023 in London, Jo’berg and Botswana {so far} we have been reviewing the crass & overt criminality in Zimbabwe, perpetrated by the {illegal Occupation} of the Zanu PF regime. Whilst planning for this event we became aware of the tragedy relating to the murder {by Zanu PF/State Actors} of Tapfumanei Masaya.

Pastor Tapfumanei Masaya, was abducted whilst campaigning for a CCC candidate in Mabvuku, Harare, by armed men {ZANU-PF & Zimbabwean State lackeys} on Saturday, 11" November 2023. His body was found at the intersection of Arcturus Road and Lobo Road in the Cleveland area of Harare on Sunday, 12th November 2023, - the next day. The Police appeared to be aware of this fact at that time – some reports claim that the prepetratiors of this heinous crime alerted the Police themselves.

Zimbabwe's Constitution guarantees its citizen's and resident's rights and freedoms. These include rights to freedom of speech, demonstrations, association, etc. The African (Banjul) Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights also guarantee such rights and freedoms.

Ubuntu (Zulu pronunciation: [ùɓúntʼù]) is a Bantu term meaning "humanity". It's sometimes translated as "I am because we are" (also "I am because you are"), or "humanity towards others" (Zulu umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu). In Xhosa, the latter term is used, but is often meant in a more philosophical sense to mean "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity"

Because for standing for the principles, of Rule of Law and democracy. Having sustained injury in detention I am now in the United Kingdom where I have and continue to receive treatment

REFERENDUM

FOR THE VOTE
and
THE DIASPORA VOTE

Fighting for the Right To Vote
“DEEDS AND NOT WORDS “
(The slogan for women fighting for The Vote as Suffragettes in 1903)
{There is no country in the world that can indefinitely deny its citizens their Human Right to Vote}

This year 2023 there are 108 political elections world-wide. Should we give or not give, these 108 elections legitimacy, purely on the basis that the word “election “has been used to describe them?

There is now need for a broader and stronger definition of what is an “election“. An international standard for an election.

Regarding the definition of what constitutes an election, we already have Election Observers, who write reports about the election they have observed. However, the Election Observers do not carry the necessary authority to make nation states comply with the international standard for elections.

Although certainly a political reply, it contains several tacit acknowledgements regarding the errant faux-government in Zimbabwe.

Rt Hon Andrew Mitchel, MP and Minister for Development & Africa, has personally signed a response, although carefully couched in terms 'not to offend' it does indicate certain issues that are acknowledged. A copy is available here to view or download [Click Here]. Sent from the desk of the Minister for Africa is appropriate for the issues that were raised over the 18th and 19th of April 2023.
