ZANU PF kicks into election mode with ‘threats’ of more violence
ZANU PF has made it clear it’s in election mode after a new campaign launch, that many opponents view as a coded message to activate its violence machinery. The party’s national chairman, Simon Khaya Moyo, launched the new campaign called, ‘ZANU PF: The Unstoppable Machine,’ using newspaper ads to fire broadsides at political parties such as the MDC.

WOZA sue Home Affairs Ministry over filthy police cells
The disgusting state of holding cells at Harare Central Police station will become the subject of a landmark lawsuit by pressure group Women of Zimbabwe Arise, following their last arrest and detention in April, after peaceful protests against poor service delivery by ZESA.

30 day deadline passes and still no GPA implementation
Tuesday was the end of the 30 day deadline imposed by regional leaders on Zimbabwe’s unity government, to finally implement the Global Political Agreement, but nothing has changed. The deadline was set at the SADC Summit in Namibia where the regional bloc’s defence body, the Troika, endorsed a report by the facilitator in the crisis, South African President Jacob Zuma.

Treatment of artist spreads fear as new charges surface
Bulawayo-based artist Owen Maseko, who was arrested for his exhibition about the Gukurahundi atrocities under the Mugabe regime, believes that the local artistic community has deserted him. He says they fear persecution after he faces new charges that come with a harsher prison sentence. In March Maseko was charged with insulting the President, a charge with a maximum prison sentence of 12 months.

Naison says the so-called 'national healing' is an insult to the victims of political violence and wonders why the MDC agreed to such an organ when there is no rule of law and violence and intimidation is still the order of the day with perpetrators walking free. He believes there should be justice first before talking about reconciliation; and Tembo says people in Mashonaland West Province can’t move around with their daily activities because of intimidation from ZPF, and are threatened with beatings if they are found to be supporting MDC.

Alex examines pressure building on the South African government and other regional leaders to deal with the failed unity government. It’s been 30 days since SADC leaders gave the government one month to finally implement the GPA, but still nothing has changed. Despite this South Africa still plans to deport Zimbabweans at the end of the year. Rose Benton from the Zimbabwe Vigil says South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma needs to ensure deported Zimbabweans have a safe home to return to and she speaks about the Vigil’s planned commemoration on Saturday, of the signing of the GPA.

Duane draws a parallel between the Twin Tower tragedy years ago and the trauma Zimbabwe has endured over the years.
