Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>By Alois Vinga<\/b> – Zanu PF party says opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa is receiving self-deserving pain after he imposed himself on the villagers who are rejecting him for inviting sanctions in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

The party said the restrictive measures had brought about untold hardships on the ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media Wednesday, Zanu PF information director Tafadzwa Mugwadi said Chamisa deserved the violence he was getting from suspected ruling party activists.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you are a political leader you arrive with respect. You treat people with respect. You cannot seek to impose your ideas on people who are resistant,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people do not love you because you brought sanctions on them, then it is not our funeral. We have no duty to assist you to get to the communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI repeat. Zanu PF does not provide political consultancy to any other political competitor in this country,\u201d Mugwadi said.<\/p>\n

He dismissed as lies, claims by the MDC Alliance that there was an assassination attempt on Chamisa in the Zimunya area near Mutare Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou saw yesterday (Tuesday) they claimed that these are bullet holes.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow the question is \u2018do you know the bullet hole?\u2019. If you look at those vehicles it is clear that these are not bullet holes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat will not dissuade the national attention in terms of telling the UN Special Rapporteur (Alena Douhan) our story. Sanctions must go and they must go unconditionally,\u201d Mugwadi said.<\/p>\n

Douhan arrived in Zimbabwe for a 10-day visit to assess the impact of sanctions imposed by the West against Zimbabwe 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

Mugwadi said it was also not an issue whether or not the people who were disrupting Chamisa\u2019s \u201cMeet The People Tours\u201d were Zanu PF supporters or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether those people were Zanu PF or not, that is a secondary qualification and there is nothing that shows that those people were Zanu PF.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur message is very clear, you don\u2019t impose yourself on the people in a community when the people say \u2018please don\u2019t come here\u2019. It\u2019s one thing to enjoy your freedom, to engage people. It is another thing to force others to become your audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat becomes a grey area, that becomes a red line, and when people respond that will not be our funeral except that we condemn violence in all forms but we encourage the opposition and Mr. Chamisa, in this case, to treat citizens with respect and for him to know fully well that democracy does not appeal to his party alone,\u201d added Mugwadi.<\/p>\n

However, the MDC Alliance secretary for the diaspora, Clifford Hlatshwayo described Mugwadi\u2019s comments as \u201cdetached\u201d and coming from a \u201cdesktop\u201d political activist.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have reported are not claims, but real issues which eyewitnesses on the ground can attest to. Right now President Chamisa is in Nyanga where the ruling party\u2019s sponsored thugs are barricading roads armed with machetes, guns, and catapults.<\/p>\n

\u201c All we want to do is to share the party\u2019s convergence agenda for the people\u2019s project as agreed to by the party. Mr (Emmerson) Mnangagwa and his cronies must know that this country belongs to everyone and we need to create a contest of ideas, not this primitive approach we are seeing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
