MDC-T MP for Chipinge South Meki Makuyana was last week sentenced to 12 months in prison for kidnapping two Zanu-PF supporters in the run-up to the 2008 harmonised elections.

Very soon half of the MDC MPs will be in jail while Joseph Mwale, the CIO operative who allegedly murdered Tichaona Chiminya and Talent Mabika in broad day light walks the streets. Justice Zanu P.F style!!!
Prison sentences long enough to take MDC members out of Parliament. Mutambara has also been firing reps from his MDC faction, with instruction from Ncube. It seems, the ZANU PF – MDC(M) pact is to facilitate the passage of undemocratic legislations and policies through a compromised Parl in which MDC(T) will be nothing but a feeble voice.
Just looking at this page, there is no reaction to this important story. It appears, some of us are beaten too. All we do now in the face of all these abuses is to throw our hands up in the air in exasperation.
So why aren't 50 or so zanupf ministers thrown in prison for orchestrating all the murders and rapes though out the country before the elections. If there is going to be a level playing field in the courts then bring the terrorists to book without impunity. The rule of law has to be applied equally.
These Zanu bully tactics are transparently obvious. I don't know why they pretend to be democratic. Why don't they just make parlaiment a lame duck entity and ignore all democratic procedures? Oh wait... they already do that.
Could their strategy be that once they have a majority they think they can tell the MDC to sod off? Perhaps they'll forget they signed a binding agreement to form an inclusive gov't?
According to a Zanu pf official courts divides pple. Kugocha kunoda kwaamai. How can we do national healing.
