Members of the MDC-T say the police are still supporting ZANU PF militia terror campaigns during the constitutional outreach exercise, despite claims by Theresa Makone, the MDC-T's co-Minister of Home Affairs, that the police have turned over a new leaf.
According to Pishayi Muchauraya, the MDC-T's Manicaland province spokesperson and Makoni South MP, the police still continue to support the militia in areas in Nyanga, where he says ZANU PF has set up terror bases.
He said, for example, that on Saturday there was a Constitution Parliamentary Committee (COPAC) meeting, at Bhumbira Primary school in Ward Nine Nyanga South. But it was aborted when violence perpetrated by war vets and ZANU PF militia broke out. Instead of the police arresting the perpetrators of the violence, they arrested the injured MDC members instead.
Yet in an article in the Zimbabwe Independent on Friday, Makone had vouched for the police saying they had turned over a new leaf and were no longer partisan.
When told that his fellow MDC-T member Makone was claiming that the police are now neutral Muchauraya emphasized that the police are still supporting ZANU PF.
"At Bhumira Primary School we had ten uniformed police officers who also had some guns. But what they did is they had to arrest those people who were injured and make sure they are not spotted by some COPAC observers. It was the entire MDC executive in the area which was injured, and arrested by the police. The other one who nearly had his eye removed was also arrested upon making a report," Muchauraya said.
"Police will be present at all COPAC meetings," he said. "The Zimbabwe Republic Police is acting like an extension of ZANU PF and they are actually assisting the militia."
Makone's praise for the police directly contradicts many observers and human rights groups who maintain the police still enforce the law in a partisan manner and fail to arrest and prosecute known ZANU PF perpetrators of politically-motivated violence.

"One law for ZANU-Poof in Zimbabwe", another "law for their opponents.........
The news just tells the rest of us that ZANU-Poof will continue to use the police and the CIO/JOC to further their empty propaganda..........
Either there "IS" freedom or there is "NOT"......... ZANU-Poof has evidently decided that the absence of freedom is "sanctioned oppression".........
The "apparatchiks" of ZANU-Poof still hold sway despite the resistance of Zimbabweans against one-party rule.
What the "apparatchiks" have failed to notice, is that the "people" are no longer "with" them........ the Soviet Union collapsed in the same way, you apologists for ZANU-Poof failed to get the memo..........
One day, Zimbabwe truly will be "Totally Empowered!" and will reap the benefits of Chiadzwa without the "elite" skimming off the profits..........
When Zimbabwe is so "Totally Empowered!", I will rejoice, but for now, the "people" needlessly suffer...............
"Total Empowerment!"
Julhman;
You are contradicting yourself, idiot. Why should you make yourself appear like a form 2 dropout; like a fool that you really are? Theresa Makone is the Minister in charge of the Police. When she speaks she does so with authority because she knows much better than all you fools put together. Makone, also, is from the stooge MDC-T and naturally she would have supported her thugs had it not been for the facts on the ground.
She said the Zimbabwe Republic Police are not partisan, thus, she is giving them a clean bill that they are TOTALLY APOLITICAL. Remember she has the authority to have all these reported cases on her desk every morning and the evidence she sees shows that when the Police do their work, they do so without any fear or favour. She has seen, heard and experienced a lot in the short time that she has been minister of Home Affairs and so is better informed than all the dogs bucking at her. Who, then, are Muchauraya and you to dispute her findings?
What Makone has discovered, which she either knew or did not know about is that MDC-T thugs are going about beating up people and then claim to be victims. Being injured in the process of attacking your political opponents does not make you a victim. That is a trick she is not going to tolerate because she has now "turned a page".
She SHALL not support thuggish behaviour for the sake of supporting it simply because it is being perpetrated by murderers from her sellout party. She is going to be upright and focused unlike the stupid fool calling himself Muchauraya.
If you are going to accuse Makone of applying two laws - one for ZANU-PF and the other for the puppet MDC-T party - then you need to rephrase that to say one law for those MDC-T sellouts in government and another for those thugs outside government. That to me will make sense.
The law is the law; when you are in the chair in which Makone is operating from, you are forced to apply it fairly. Makone is minister in the national government and not the MDC-T "Kitchen Cabinet". Akaenda kuHome Affairs achipaparika, promising to move mountains, but now she has seen it for herself, that what she was accusing the police of doing is not true - the ZRP are not partisan; they are apolitical. PERIOD!!
PLEASE IGNORE ANY POSTS FROM TAKUNYA_NDEBVU AND MABHIZA. THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME PERSON AND PAID BY THE ZANU PF'S MINISTRY OF INFORMATION (PROPOGANDA DEPARTMENT) TO POST AS MUCH PROPOGANDA ON THE WEB AS POSSIBLE TO PROMOTE THE MURDEROUS AND THEIVING ROBERT MUGABE. IF YOU READ ANY OF HIS POSTS YOU'LL SEE THAT HE MAKES THINGS UP AND CONTINUALLY LIES FOR THIS AIM. HE HAS NO CREDIBILITY WHATSOEVER AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. HE WILL CONTINUNALLY CLAIM THAT TSVANGIRAI HAS CALLED FOR SANCTIONS AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF ZIMBABWE. THIS CLAIM IS 100% FALSE AND DESIGNED TO ALIENATE TSVANGIRAI FROM THE MAJORTIY OF THE PEOPLE IN ZIMBABWE THAT SUPPORT HIM. HE HAS NO EVIDENCE OF THIS, AND WILL TRY TO TELL YOU THAT THIS HAPPENED ON BBC HARDTALK. IF YOU LOOK UP TSVANGIRAI'S INTERVIEW ON HARDTALK THROUGH YOUTUBE, YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE NO MENTION OF SANCTIONS AT ALL. IT IS SIMPLY A LIE, LIKE THE REST OF HIS POSTS. HE IS ALSO UNABLE TO NAME A SINGLE SANCTION THAT SITS AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF ZIMBABWE AND HAS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT ANY OF HIS CLAIMS AND LIES BLATANTLY ON A CONSTANT BASIS. HE WILL ALSO CALL ANY PERSON WHO IS AGAINST THE TRYANNY AND GENOCIDAL REIGN OF MUGABE WHO ARGUES WITH HIM ANY NAME UNDER THE SUN IN AN ATTEMPT TO DISCREDIT THEM. SO PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH TAKUNYA, HE IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER ARGUE WITH A (SELF PROFESSED!)IDIOT. HE'LL ONLY BRING YOU DOWN TO HIS LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERINCE. Here are some facts (and you cant argue with facts!) why.. 1) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza work for the Herald, are paid by the ZANU PF to spread propaganda and lies, and to twist the truth in the ZANU PF's favor on the internet.
2) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza are one and the same person.
3) I "killed people and others suffer during slavery. You killed people and made others suffer during colonialism. You are killing people today and making others suffer because they want to have control of their own resources."
3) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza have stated that Mugabe is the most democratic leader in Africa. Seriously!
4) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza have stated that "in a bid to tarnish the image of Zanu pf, MDC went on a killing spree and murderered 130 MDC and Zanu pf supporters in the process."
5) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe there were " over 200 CIA operatives criss-crossing the country during the elections."
6) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe "Even the British are not happy with Tsvangirai's leaning towards the Americans when it was their (regime change) project in the first place.
7) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that "Prem and Awt_independent, Phiri are hired by the MDC establishment. Infact they are the brains in MDC hence are the ones strategising attacks on the Zimbabwean people be it via violence or sanctions." So now I work for the CIA, MI5 (see below) and the MDC.
8) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that war veterans and police officers should be allowed to bar the MDC from distributing food to starving orphans.
9) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that freedom of speech should not exist in Zimbabwe and newspaper editors should be monitored to ensure they subscribe to the Zanu PF government's policies.
10) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that the US and Britain have openly stated that they are working with Zimbabwean journalists for "illegal regime change"
11) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe the west "created the HIV virus and injeted it into the African people. They then turned around and alleged that HIV originated in Africa"
"virus was created in a lab by some American scientist and injected into selected African families and this is proof enough that their experiments have not ended and this time they are using the HIV virus to exterminate the Africa race."
12) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe the MDC has a "dictatorial leader who does not allow alternative voices". Rather ironic that one.
13) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza both support the use of violence, murder, rape and torture by Mugabe against the people of Zimbabwe.
14) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza both believe that Bush is responsible for atrocities in Iraq, and this justifies Mugabe's atrocities in Zimbabwe, including the genocide of 20,000 Ndebele people and the murders of over 100 MDC supporters during this years elections.
15) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza should be ignored because none of their posts are truthful and they are always misleading.
16) If you say anything against Mugabe, Takunya and Comical Mabhiza may say that you are paid by the CIA and MI5 to write here.
17) I do not work for the CIA
18) The CIA does not pay me. If they do, please give them my bank account details, all cards accepted. :-)
19) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza will also resort to childish name calling when they have no factual evidence based argument.
20) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza both believe that Tsvangirai called for sanctions against the people of Mugabe.
21) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza should be ignored because non of their posts are truthful and they are always misleading.
22) Tsvangirai never called for sanctions against the people of Zimbabwe.
23) When confronted and asked for evidence of this, Takunya and Comical Mabhiza have none.
24) The Sanctions faced by Zimbabwe are not against the people of Zimbabwe.
25) The Sanctions faced by Zimbabwe are only against the government and its ministers, and 4 companies, including one that makes military uniforms.
26) None of these Sanctions are faced by the people of Zimbabwe.
27) Tsvangirai is not responsible for these sanctions.
28) If Tsvangirai did not exist, there would still be sanctions on Zimbabwe (as described above).
29) Therefore Tsvangirai is 100% independent of Zimbabwe being sanctioned as above.
30) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza should be ignored because non of their posts are truthful and they are always misleading.
31) Biti and Ncube, and Tsvangirai had no input into the drafting of the American sanctions bill.
32) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe the west wants to recolonise Zimbabwe.
33) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe the west wants to invade Zimbabwe.
34) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza should be ignored because non of their posts are truthful and they are always misleading.
35) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe the west wants to poison aid and kill Zimbabweans.
36) Tsvangirai has never denied aid to the Zimbabwean people, only Mugabe has done this.
37) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza should be ignored because non of their posts are truthful and they are always misleading.
38) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that Zimbabwe only has partial independence and that the fight against colonialism still goes on.
39) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that Tsvangirai called for sanctions whilst being interviewed on BBC HardTalk in 2000.
40) Tsvangirai never appeared on BBC HardTalk in 2000. More lies.
41) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that the British want to bomb Zimbabwe.
42) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that the west wants to inject AIDS into aid to give to the people of Zimbabwe.
43) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that west want to destabilize Zimbabwe and "make it ungovernable for eventual American and British takeover just like in Iraq and Afghanistan."
44) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that Tsvangirai didnt attend the meeting of SADC heads in Swaziland because he refused to go, and that he had a valid passport tor travel. This is after the Zim government clearly stated that Tsvangirai wasnt issued a passport because there was no paper to make passports due to paper being under sanction.
45) Paper is not under any type of sanction.
46) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that Zimbabwe does not need any outside help.
47) Takunya and Comical Mabhiza believe that Bush is tainting Genetically Modified Foods with Aids and delivering it to Zimbabwe. Is this even possible?
48) Takunya and comical Mabhiza believe that Tsvangirai boycotted the Swaziland summet in favour of a round of golf.
49) For saying these things, Takunya and Mabhiza have tried to discredit me by saying that "You have supported the American war on Iraq and Afghanistan. You have supported the torture of suspected terrorists by the CIA as it practises its extraordinary randition around the world. You have supported the rape of women and girls by the American soldiers many times. You have supported the use of chemical weapons on civilians in Vietnam many times on this forum. You are a CIA agent. You have been exposed as a bitter former white commercial farmer who got recruted by the CIA. You are totally against the land reform do not lie. You were part of the killing machinary that massacred our comrades at Chimoio, Nyadzonya, Mkushi etc."
All of this is simply propaganda made up by Takunya and Mabhiza to discredit what I say in my posts. And obvious as such to everyone with a brain. And I wouldnt be campaigning so strongly for the people of Zimbabwe who are subject to such practices at the hands of the Butcher of Harare if any of this were true. Water off a ducks back to me though.
PS did everyone spot the 4 spelling mistakes in that piece of nonsense. Someone needs to learn how to spell too. :-)
So just ignore Takunya and Comical Mabhiza, and let these facts speak for themselves.
Thank you for your time.
"Total Empowerment" haha
Okay Theresa, let's say a Zany thug is drunk driving and runs down 4 people picking corn at the side of the road. A police officer then arrests him for DUI and vehicular manslaughter. What are the chances the Zany Mafia will come after him and his family unless their comrade is released and the charges dropped?
Are you telling us that the police will now bravely stand against violent threats and intimidation and uphold the law for $3 a day?
