United Kingdom-based Zimbabwean Joyce Mutengezanwa, who was
part of protesters that tormented Foreign Affairs minister Sibusiso Moyo and
his delegation, claims the minister was more humiliated than harmed.
Speaking from the UK, Mutengezanwa said the President
Emmerson Mnangagwa-led administration had failed the nation because they were
the only ones enjoying at the expense of ordinary citizens.
“SB Moyo was more humiliated than harmed,” she said. Mutengezanwa
said Zanu PF should be ashamed of itself for always leading the country into a
mess, adding it should stop its head-hunt for the protesters, but rather
provide solutions to the problems the country was facing.
“Is it not ironic that the very same people, Zanu PF and
the army, who unleash dogs, bullets, tear gas and water tanks on civilians are
angrily baying for people’s blood over a few sprinklings of water?” she
charged.
“Zimbabweans all over the world are clearly outraged by
these elections fraudsters and human rights abusers, who continue to masquerade
as angels of light by day, but butchering our fellow citizens for speaking
against the injustices in the land.”
Mutengezanwa said instead of making noise about the Chatham
House incident, the Zimbabwean government should address human rights abuses.
“May you please address the human rights abuses in Zimbabwe
more seriously than this harmless incident at Chatham House,” she urged the
government.
Two weeks ago, Moyo was hurled insults, water sprayed and
pelted by angry Zimbabwean protesters as he came out of Chatham House where he
had made a presentation to market the country as a business and tourist
destination.
Mutengezanwa is one of the many Zimbabweans in the UK, who
fled State-sponsored violence at the turn of the millennium. Newsday
