How do you solve a problem like Beatrice Mtetwa? – Melusi Sibanda





A thorn in the side or more accurately,  a spear in the side for ZANU PF.  If ZANU PF were American they’d probably refer to her as a ‘Goddamn pain in the ass!’ She is intelligent, highly perceptive, fiery, astute and brilliant. The powers that be in Zimbabwe are bedazzled as they have not faced or known anyone like her. There is a genuine fear in ZANU PF that she may come back to haunt them in the near future.

So what is ZANU PF’s solution to this ‘exceptional’ problem? Arrest her and charge her with 20 allegations of ‘whatever’! BAD MOVE!!!  You have turned her into the ultimate martyr – ask the Burmese military if you don’t believe me. Beatrice Mtetwa is here to stay – she’ll hang around like an unpaid bill and soon you will feel the effects of what you have just started!

However this ends it will not be a ‘good look’ for the police and the powers that be. Arresting a prominent Human Rights Lawyer, dragging her through the streets and publicising it. One can only but wonder who ordered this arrest? Could it be the work of the oracle that is the Minister of Justice Patrick Chinamasa, as we all know he obviously doesn’t have to bear the burden of genius.

Whatever turns out in this story, we’ll be watching closely and we all have Beatrice in our thoughts!


We are watching!!
