President Mnangagwa Reiterates His Call For Tolerance And Peace Ahead Of 2023 Elections

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reiterated his call for tolerance and peace as Zimbabwe draws closer to the 2023 harmonised elections.

Speaking at the memorial service of national hero and liberation war fighter, Ambassador Simon Khaya Moyo, who succumbed to cancer last year, the president said Moyo was a beacon of unity and the nation must honour his legacy by conducting peaceful elections.

The Sunday Mail, a state-run publication, quotes him as saying:

Furthermore, constructive criticism, as well as divergent views in the political, economic and social spheres must drive us towards a culture of tolerance, non-violence and peace.
This is more critical as the nation prepares for the 2023 harmonised general elections.

Some Context:

Zimbabwe has previously recorded violence prior to, during and after elections.

With cases of politically-motivated violence recorded this year going up, fears abound that the 2023 elections will be blood.

The United Nations has indicated that it will supervise the poll to avoid “another disputed election.”

There are reportedly two levels of political violence in Zimbabwe – intra-party (within a political party) and interparty (one party against another party) violence.

The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) claims that the ruling ZANU PF, together with the state security forces, is assaulting, abducting and or killing its members to force them to leave the opposition party.

ZANU PF denies the allegations saying it is a peaceful party which abides by the laws of the land.

In 2008, some members of the opposition MDC lost their properties while some were assaulted and or killed by alleged ZANU PF members who were reportedly working with war veterans, police, CIOs and the army.

Recent cases of political violence:

During the run-up to March 26, 2022 by-elections CCC supporters were attacked at a rally in Kwekwe leading to the death of Mboneni Ncube after being stabbed with a spear.

The Gokwe-Kabuyuni by-elections held on August 27 saw Nelson Chamisa’s convoy under attack allegedly by senior ZANU PF officials with Local government minister July Moyo allegedly involved.

Senior ZANU PF officials are on record threatening that 2023 will be worse than 2008 when members of the opposition MDC were attacked and killed in the run-up to the run-off election.

Violence starts with you Ed. By failing to arrest and prosecute those responsible from zanu you become an accomplice

Citizens are happy that His Excellency Advocate President ED Mnangagwa has continued calling for peace and tolerance before, during and after the Harmonised Elections in 2023. However, it would seem the President is misdirecting his efforts. He should say this at his party's rallies where thugs and hooligans are found.

Yours faithfully William Sonboy CHINEMBIRI [THE BUSH LAWYER4CCC].

These guys shed blood all the time they once did a genocide (Gukurahundi), almost every elections they kill people or they just make them Dissappear, like this guy was taken during Mugabes time and to date he is still missing. Journalists dissappear, opposition members Dissappear protestors and other innocent civilians Dissappear, believe you me. If possible some of commenters here might as well be threatened. Hopefully the sight is really secure

the most deadly form of violence is the covert one where someone brings sanctions on his nation so that he may alienate the ruling party from the electorate to force a change of regime.makanyangira yaona vakomana muchamhanya chete ende muchakungura chete

Deception. Deception. Bwowa haisi nyama. Dhiyabhurosi haafe akaunza peace. Shato / Anaconda inonyepera kuve peaceful, kuti usvike pedyo yokumedza. It's like a Hyena saying to the lambs let's have peace & tolerance in the jungle. One Owen Mudha Ncube promised to unleash violence worse than the 2008 massacres. Last year, ZANU PF party primaries in Kwekwe were so violent & Matemadanda fled for his life. July Moyo, Larry Mavhima & other party members had to approach ED to intervene & stop Owen Mudha Ncube from unleashing violence on party members. If you can't stop political violence in your own party, how can you stop political violence in Zimbabwe? Charity begins at home.

So says The Commander-in-Thief who promoted Brigadier Anselem Sanyatwe who massacred 6 unarmed civilians on August 1, 2018. Brigadier Sanyatwe was promoted to Ambassador in recognition of his efforts to secure victory for the Coup Commander

the sad truth is that the good for nothing f.u.***d up Ed.***ts in the rural areas are going to vote for these guys .if you notice ,all the educated people in the big cities always vote for change,it's these ganja smoking rural people who always let us down.If you were to ask me I don't see any improvement, because even the violence happence mostly in the rural areas.ITS JUST HOPELESS.

Maparamuro · 2 years ago

Check the results of the urban areas and you will notice that zanupf loses by a small margin in those urban areas where you assume the people are more educated. Political ignorance knows no bounds. The urban are voting for the opposition that recently accepted $40k bribes from zanupf. They voting for councillors who have failed dismally to open Mupedzanhamo, collect gabbage or provide running water. The same educated urbanites rejected Fadzayi Mahere just because she was independent and instead voted for someone from Malawi 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂what a joke
