After we have cleaned up Zimbabwe which together as nation should be priority what happens to those who murdered and tortured, those who  contirbuted to the misery of millions, collapse of a great African nation and the irreparable damage to society.

67 years after some heinous crimes against the Jews, World War II war criminals are still being hunted. Most of those still alive are in their late eighties and ninties.Is it right to carry on hunting such people, I say it is justice shall be be served. After executing Saddam they went for such perpertators as ”Chemical Ali” (as he was better known) and several officials of Saddam’s government over the 1999 killings of Shia Muslims in Baghdad and genocide against the Kurds in 1988 and the crushing of a Shia uprising in 1991.

Milosevic was charged with crimes against humanity and genocide amoungst others. Why arent these services also extended to African dictators and those that do the dirty work for them, do the African people not deserve justice.

Some are still clinging onto power as they are afraid of the future, staying in power is their only savior but not for long. All this is going to come to an end and you will have to answer,  the ruling party continues to protect them from accountability. In shona we have a saying;

“Chisingaperi chinoshura musoro wegudo chava chinokoro”

In the case of Zimbabwe it should be done sooner rather than later, Human Rights abuses should be investigated and those responsble should be brought to book for abuse of power. Zimbabweans are angrier now than they have been before the sooner the circus leaves town the better. There is no way famillies are going to forget about their loved ones who were murdered or tortured by this regime, it is going to be very difficult to forget about yesterday and move on as if nothing happened. Expecting the Zimbabwean people to forget what Mugabe has done to them in the last fews years is wrong and so is failing to seek justice. It is for the victims, both living and dead, that we must seek justice and those that were part of system, joined the system and did not stand up to such a system should face the music.

Apperantly the President as Head of Sate has already been guaranteed immunity from prosecution for any crimes committed during his 29 year rule as part of their agreement to work together and this will be outlined in the new constitution. This is Morgan’s way of letting bygones be bygones he forgets  the violence that was used against him and that is still carried out on his supporters. In which society do rape victims go through therapy with those that raped them.

Many Zimbabweans who left the country for security reasons cannot wait to get back home but many are not able to do so until they can be guaranteed safety and as long as certain individuals are still calling the shots  safety and freedom can only be dream in Zimbabwe. Many thought to GNU was going to restore freedom and constutional rights but this has not happened.
