Biti Says Mnangagwa's Regime Is Worse Than Mugabe's

Former Finance Minister Tendai Biti has said President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s regime is even more detrimental to political freedoms than that of former leader Robert Mugabe. Biti’s comments come after the tragic murder of Tinashe Edson Chitsunge, a member of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), by supporters of the ruling ZANU PF party in Glen Norah on August 4, 2023.

Biti, who is currently an MP for the CCC, claimed that his party has faced significant restrictions in conducting its election campaign. He stated that since January 2023, 63 of their rallies have been banned, and they have been unable to hold any meetings or rallies this year. Even attempts to hold meetings in private residences have resulted in arrests. While some level of mobilization is possible in urban areas, rural areas present significant challenges. Reflecting on the political situation in Zimbabwe, Biti said:

At least 63 of our rallies have been banned from January 2023 to now. We have not been able to hold any single rally or meeting this year. Even those who have attempted to hold meetings in their houses have been arrested. In urban areas we can mobilise to some extent but in rural areas we cannot.

 We lived during Mugabe’s time, and we thought it was bad, but I think I owe him an apology. This regime is worse.

Under Mnangagwa’s rule, concerns regarding political repression and corruption have persisted. Mnangagwa, who was once a close associate of Mugabe, has been accused of violating the law and undermining independent institutions to maintain his hold on power.

According to the CCC deputy spokesperson, Ostallos Siziba, the opposition party is currently unable to hold meetings in urban areas or rural areas due to restrictions imposed by the ruling ZANU-PF party. He said ZANU-PF has declared rural areas as off-limits for the opposition. Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa had intended to campaign in rural areas to gain support from ZANU-PF strongholds. the party has a rally at Sakubva, Mutare this Sunday.

*Horror Crash Kills Insimbi ZeZhwane Lead Singer MaEli & Drummer* The lead vocalist of rhumba duo Insimbi ZeZhwane died in a horror road crash which also claimed the life of the group’s drummer on Saturday morning, police said. Elvis Mathe, known to the band’s followers as ‘MaEli’, tragically died along with drummer Thembinkosi ‘Maviri’ Mpofu after their Toyota Hilux veered off the road and slammed into a tree near the Fatima High School turn-off on the Victoria Falls-Bulawayo highway. Their deaths were confirmed by the group’s manager, Bahlanu Sibanda. Police said the group was coming from Binga, and were driving to Harare via Bulawayo. In a statement, police said one person was killed on the spot and 10 others injured. “A Toyota Hilux with foreign number plates burst a trye resulting in the vehicle veering off the road before hitting a tree at the 200km peg along the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls road.” The bodies of Mathe and Mpofu were taken to St Luke’s Hospital where the injured were also being treated. Insimbi ZeZhwane, a name which pays homage to their Tsholots****ots, are currently the most sought-after group in Matabeleland after bursting on the scene in the last five years. The group was made up of Mathe and Meluleki ‘Brema’ Moyo, who formed the outfit in South Africa before relocating to Bulawayo. They produced hits such as Imbulumakhasane, Umkhumbi KaNoah and Imbemba. Insimbi ZeZhwane caused internet controversy only last week after performing at a Zanu PF rally in Nkayi, and then posed for pictures wearing Zanu PF regalia. In a bid to dispel the controversy, the group posted a statement to fans on Facebook insisting that wearing the gear was not a sign that they support Zanu PF. “We were invited to the presidential gala in Nkayi, but that does not mean we’re now into politics. Any party can hire us to perform at their events and give us their regalia, we will wear it, pick up our guitars and perform,” the statement said. The group said they had “always wanted to be hired by the government” but insisted: “Any party that wants us they should call us and we will be there
