GOOD MORNING/AFTERNOON
Fellow Zimbabweans, following the address we made on 13 November 2017 which we believe our main broadcaster, ZBC and The Herald were directed not to publicise, the situation in our country has moved to another level.
Firstly, we wish to assure the nation that His Excellency, The President, of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Head of State and Government and Commander in Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, Cde R.G Mugabe and his fa,ily are safe and sound and their security is guaranteed. We are only targeting criminals around him who are committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice.
As soon as we have accomplished our mission we expect that the situation will return to normalcy.
To the civil servants: As you are aware, there is a plan by the same individuals to influence the current purging taking place in Zanu PF to the Civil service. We are against that act of injustice and we intend to protect everyone of you against it.
To the judiciary, the measures underway are intended to ensure that, as an independent arm of the state, you are able to exercise your independent authority without fear of being obstructed as has been the case with this group of individuals.
To our Members of Parliament: Your legislative role is of paramount importance for peace and stability in this country and it is our desire that a dispensation is created that allows you to serve your respective political constituencies according to democratic tenets.
To the generality of the people of Zimbabwe: We urge you to remain calm and limit unnecessary movement. However, we encourage those who are employed and those with essential business in the city to continue their normal activities as usual. Our wish is that you enjoy your rights and freedoms and that we return our country to a dispensation that allows for investment, development and prosperity that we all fought for and for which many of our citizens paid the supreme sacrifice.
To political Parties; We urge you to discourage your members from engaging in violent behaviour.
To the youth: We call upon you to realise that the future of this country is yours. Do not be enticed with dirty coins of silver, be disciplined and remain committed to the ethos and values of this great nation.
To all Churches and religious organisations in Zimbabwe: We call upon you and your congregations to pray for our country and preach the gospel of love, peace, unity and development.
To both our people and the world beyond our borders: We wish to make it abundantly clear that this is not a military takeover of Government. What the Zimbabwe Defence Forces is doing is to pacify a degenerating political, social and economic situation in our country which if not addressed may result in violent conflict.
We call upon all the war veterans to play a positive role in ensuring peace, stability and unity in the country.
To members of the Defence Forces: All leave is cancelled and you are all to return to your barracks with immediate effect.
To our respected Traditional leaders: You are the custodians of our culture, customs, traditions and heritage and we request you to provide leadership and direction to your communities for the sake of unity and development in our country.
To the other Security Services: We urge you to cooperate for the good of our country. Let it be clear that we intend to address the human security threats in our country. Therefore any provocation will be met with an appropriate response.
To the media; we urge you report fairly and responsibly.
THANK YOU.
Tinfoil thought. Has this got anything to do with that white girl they arrested for allegedly mocking Mugabe on social media?
Eating rivals is mostly a cultural trait in the countries around the Great Lakes and in West Africa.
AFAIK, more sophisticated Zimbaweans “only” practice necklacing and/or eat some internal parts.
Not that necklacing is absent elsewhere, Samuel Baker had described it more than a century ago in his riveting book The Great Basin of the Nile.
“Firstly, we wish to assure the nation that His Excellency, The President, of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Head of State and Government and Commander in Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, Cde R.G Mugabe and his fa,ily are safe and sound and their security is guaranteed. We are only targeting criminals around him who are committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice.”
Sounds like what they said before they shot the Czar and his family in a basement.
When has it been otherwise anywhere in Africa?
From the warning issued to them near the end of the announcement, my take is that the "criminals" are the "other security forces."
So the coup failed? That’s too bad.
I very nearly went that route when I came of age, but it was plainly starting to fall apart by then.
Another case of Africa wins again, I expect.

That's putting it mildly. My understanding is that she is hated by a large chunk of the country. Hence my comment on anther thread that they would shoot Mugabe, blame Grace, and then shoot her...
[@TomGreen] [Quote] Nothing says “there has been a coup” more than a man in military uniform appearing unannounced on state TV late at night to say “there has not been a coup”. [Unquote]

Clarity
Africa wins again.

We can but hope that Mugabe spends the last few hours of his retirement buried up to his neck in an anthill.
For anyone confused by this just Google “ Grace Mugabe” or “ Mugabe sons”. They had it coming. Good for the people.
Um... Canada?
“shoot Mugabe, blame Grace, and then shoot her... “
Sounds like a winner!
To all white people: We still want to kill each and every one of you.
Grace supposedly fled to Namibia this morning.
If she’s wise she took a couple of million dollars from the state treasury and has a nice villa lined up as a retirement home in the Maldives.
She’s beaten and she should know it. How she thought she was going to win when she was such an absurd character loathed by everyone is a mystery.
Michigan.
Especially Detroit.
