Violence in Harare
The Zimbabwe police claim that they dispense their duties in a non-partisan manner but events on the ground prove them otherwise. It is even more surprising that one of the “half” Ministers of Home Affairs, representing the political party that is at the receiving end of this partisan way of conducting business by the police, can claim that the police are now non-partisan. Recent events fly straight in the face of Minister Makone’s reckless utterances as it is clear even to a blind man that the police are applying the law selectively. In a normal political environment, the Minister should withdraw her statements or even resign from the post, but the proud and greedy crop of politicians we entrust with our lives and beloved country will never do that.
