Nelson Chamisa, Tendai Biti and crew face trouble as Zanu PF plots to introduce tough law

Nelson Chamisa, Tendai Biti and crew face trouble as Zanu PF plots to introduce tough law.PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Zanu PF is considering enacting a law that will make it criminal for any Zimbabwean to call for sanctions against the country or be found in any suspicious engagement with foreign enemies of the country.


This was revealed by party Chief Whip, Pupurayi Togarepi on the sidelines of a government organised anti-sanctions march in Harare on Friday.“You will see from now going forward that those who go out looking for sanctions, talking to foreign forces against the people of Zimbabwe, asking for sanctions to be imposed on our people, as parliamentarians we will ensure we take a stance against them.


“It is not going to be business as usual,” he told NewZimbabwe.Togarepi, who is also secretary for Zanu PF’s militant youth league, last year promised to push for the enactment of a Patriots Law he said should invite death by hanging as punishment if one is caught violating it.The Zanu PF led administration accuses MDC of campaigning for the imposition of a travel ban and asset freeze on government officials.



The ruling party argues the sanctions were not targeted, as widely claimed by the opposition, but were affecting ordinary Zimbabweans.Last week, MDC deputy president and Harare East MP, Tendai Biti was barred from contributing to a sanctions debate by National Assembly Speaker as he is being accused of being among those who fronted the call for sanctions.Said Togarepi,

“We have agreed that from now onward, certain characters from the opposition will not be allowed to debate issues concerning the people of Zimbabwe because they want all of them (Zimbabweans) dead.“We have already initiated the process of coming up with something similar to the Patriots Act wherein no member of the public or a member of the legislature can go out of the country or associate with people who are against us as a people.

“They will not be allowed to do so without consequence from parliament or the law.“We are coming up with a law that will ensure anyone who goes out sharing bad things about Zimbabwe, de-campaigning Zimbabwe will be arrested.”.During the period leading to the 2018 elections, three MDC Alliance top officials – Nelson Chamisa, Biti and Jacob Ngarivhume of Transform Zimbabwe.

visited the United States of America to engage with different government officials in the US Congress, business people and Zimbabweans in the diaspora.Chamisa told the media during their brief stay in the US, “What brought us here are issues of trying to advocate for free and fair elections in Zimbabwe,.and peace and to try and bring solutions to the economic hardships facing the country, so that there is an end to the long queues at banks

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

Grace, who during the greater part of husband's presidency had been focused on charity work, before later venturing into politics..With the support of Mugabe, Grace was in December 2014 parachuted to the helm of ZANU-PF Women's League, automatically qualifying to sit in the ruling party's highest decision-making body, the Politburo..The ex-First Lady then used her position and marriage to Mugabe to vilify all those she perceived to be harbouring ambitions of succeeding Zimbabwe's long-time ruler..She became literally untouchable with ministers currying favours with her to avoid being sacked by the President. The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
