IF denials by the Zimbabwe National Army and the Zimbabwe Republic Police are to be taken for truth, our country has certainly become a dangerous place to live and invest in, where marauding bogus army and police officers can do things at will, cause suffering to the people even in broad daylight and get away with it.
Who then are those people causing such mayhem and getting away with it, while members of the army, as claimed the Zimbabwe National Army deputy director of public relations Alex Zuva, are in the vicinity watching these things happen as their presence was only “assisting the Zimbabwe Republic Police in enforcing coronavirus lockdown regulations”.
The same thing happened when the army and police officers assisted Thokozani Khupe-led faction of the MDC-T 2014 structures take over Harvest House from the MDC Alliance at night.
Then of cause there is the denial of the arrest of MDC Alliance activists Joanah Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova, in which Zanu PF officials, government officials and the Zimbabwe Republic Police have all denied involvement.
The truth about the situation is that Zanu PF and government has for too long used the police force, the army and the intelligence services to brutalise suspected members of the opposition and ordinary citizens who express concern over the way government is managing the country.
