The God of Violence – Justice Sibanda



Jabulani Sibanda, the leader of the War Veterans’ Association, said he “hates whites”, described Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai as “agent of the devil” and warned there will be violence in Zimbabwe if ZANU PF loses in forthcoming elections.

Sibanda is quoted as saying: “Mugabe is a man of God who came to deliver Zimbabweans from a history of dependence on whites to independence. Mugabe’s way is the way of God. Stand firm behind Mugabe because the war in our country is now between God and Satan.”

How do these people reconcile between being agents of God and threatening us with violence if we exercise of RIGHT to vote for someone else!!! Madness!!! This kind of inflammatory language and the actions it will lead to have no place in 2013. ZANU PF has to speak up against its agents like Jabulani Sibanda who seem to be stuck in Middle Ages, after-all they claim to have our best interests at heart, one of which should be to be accountable to the electorate and accept that we have the RIGHT to elect whoever we want without intimidation and fear of violence. We wait to see what action if any will be taken against Mr Jabulani Sibanda by the authorities in Zimbabwe. We call on ZANU PF to respect the will of the people of Zimbabwe.

We call on The United Nations, EU, SADC, and AU to apply pressure on ZANU PF to allow election observers into the country to ensure that for the first time in a long while Zimbabweans can experience free and fair elections. 
  
WE ARE WATCHING!!!
