THE recent increase in government’s brutality against dissenting voices is nothing other than attempts by senior ruling Zanu PF officials in protecting their ill-gotten wealth accumulated over years of corrupt governance.
Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) President Peter Mutasa told journalists Thursday that the government’s fight to keep their grip on power should be a mirror of how much the senior officials had stolen from Zimbabwe’s coffers and natural resources.
He was speaking at a Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition’s commemorations of the government’s 11 March 2007 clampdown on a “Save Zimbabwe” prayer session where armed anti-riot officers seriously injured the now late MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai, constitutional expert Professor Lovemore Madhuku and others in Highfields, Harare.
