“We are the police, we are the army, we are the judiciary, we are everything!”
These were President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s words.
They have come true and ZANU PF is everything.
They are above the law.
Last week, the High Court in Bulawayo ordered ZANU PF youths, led by Matabeleland South provincial chairman Moses Langa, to vacate Vubachikwe Mine in Gwanda.
As usual, the youths defied one of the highest courts in the land.
Perhaps the judge forgot that ZANU PF is the judiciary—a law unto themselves.
Langa and his “first-class citizens” remain at the mine.
Forget Western notions of property rights. In Zimbabwe, ZANU PF trumps the law.
The comrades are having their way at Vubachikwe.
President Mnangagwa is proving, once again, that he is a “constitutionalist.”
Owning a mine or property under the Second Republic is simple. All you need is a ZANU PF party card.
That’s it.
Chewore Lodges owner Terry Kelly has learned the hard way.
Courts are no sanctuary if you lack a ZANU PF card.
The Supreme Court upheld his eviction from his 15-year, multi-million-dollar investment.
Zimbabwe is open for business—but only to party loyalists like Cde Billy Rautenbach.
After the Supreme Court ruling, the party tried to offer Kelly a compromise.
He refused.
Now Kelly is heading to the Constitutional Court.
His chances of success?
About as likely as Wicknell Chivhayo being arrested for corruption under the Second Republic.
