Petrol bombed in Masvingo
Whilst Mugabe fiddles about food in Rome, Zimbabwe is burning. With three weeks till the run off, the election violence continues. The images from a petrol bomb attack in Zaka support with the reports we received below, from an MDC supporter in Masvingo Province.
Zaka
Our Zaka command centre was attacked last night by ZANU PF militia who shot 7 of the MDC supporters there and went on to burn there bodies with the fuel that had been supplied them for campaigning purposes. The Zaka police are trying to down play this incident by saying that only three people have been killed.
Chirezi North
The secretary Nelson Mangwayana’s house at Mkwasine Estate was attacked by people brought there in 2 Mistabushi pick ups last night. He was not there and his wife managed to escape with her children, the militia broke windows and took some goods and radio equipment. The family is now homeless and he is unable to go back to work at Mkwasine Estate. Everyone including management of the Mkwasine estate are being forced to go to ZANU meetings where they have to keep pledging there allegiance.
Chiredzi South
At 2.30am I received a message that the chairman for ward 10 Satan who lives at Chilonga has been abducted with 2 youths. His son who saw the abduction said that 2 white pick ups came to the house and at gun point forced him into a vehicle. As they left he Satan managed to shout his farewells to his family. Suspect who directed this are Matemachani, Edson Chauke (otherwise Right Chimbere), Phillimon Magezani and David Knuka.
For another account of events in Zaka, visit this blog:
Six MDC officials, sleeping in their office, were woken by the arrival of an armed gang at 4am. The armed men forced the officials to lie down and shot three people immediately. (I pray to any available God that they were killed outright). Petrol was poured over them all and they were set alight. The man I am talking to managed to tear off his clothes, beat out the flames burning his body and escape. Two men are dead, their bodies unrecognisably burned, and another suspected dead but his body is missing. Two men have burns over large areas of their bodies. They will be lucky to live.

I find it absolutely disturbing that no one seems to actually be doing anything regarding this violence. We watch other people die simply because we don’t posses any humanity. Pictures like the one above don’t even shock us anymore- it is part of life after all. Africa belongs to those who have watched her suffer and watched her grow. Every African should stand together because if we become one, we can stop this cruelty.

It is so sad that so many lack the knowledge and love of our Lord Jesus Christ, we can only pray for the Holy Spirit to comfort all victims and know that God will deal with all those that comitted these horrible evil offences. And all those that take part in covering these offences God says they have comitted the same crime and will be punished.

This is madness, why is it dat this insane mugabe is still let loose while is clear for everyone to see that he is ruling my beloved country illegal. His regime is illegitimate. But we still have a person like Thabo Bheki going around telling the world that he will resolve our problems through talks. lts now eight years and the man is still barking talks, talks. l think this time history shouldn’t repeat its self like what Mugabe did to swallow Joshua Nkomo’s Pf Zanu.
The burning, beating and killing of innocent Zimbos who try to make their voice to be heard by the illegitimate regime has to stop and l don’t understand why african leaders are so scared to tell the man of his wrong doing.
Tell me who gonna save us from this evil man.
