As the elections in Zimbabwe get closer, the political scene is getting very busy. Zanu PF, the ruling party, is known for finding ways to get a lot of people on their side. But lately, something worrying has started happening. Zanu PF’s way of doing things has become very risky for the people involved.
A video has come out showing how Zanu PF is treating people in a very unsafe way. The party is trying to force people to come to their rallies, which are happening all over the country. The big question that people are asking is: How much is this costing in terms of safety?
The video shows people being packed into buses, with no care for their safety. Zanu PF has changed the way they are working. What should be a democratic process, where people can choose freely, has turned into something dangerous. After the rallies are over, the people are left on their own. This raises a lot of questions about whether Zanu PF cares about the safety of the people attending their events.
The only thing these people get in return for attending is a free meal from Chicken Inn, a fast-food restaurant. This “free lunch” does not seem like enough for the risks the people are taking. The question becomes: Is a meal enough to make people forget the risks they are facing?
One recent event shows how serious this situation is. A bus full of people was seen leaving Harare, headed to faraway rural areas. This happened after a rally held by President Emmerson Mnangagwa. This shows how far Zanu PF is willing to go to make it look like they have a lot of support.
Zanu PF is working hard to move people all around the country. The party is doing everything it can to make it seem like they have more support than the main opposition party, the CCC. The reason for this seems to be to make people believe that Zanu PF is more popular than they really are.
As the country prepares for the elections, there are big concerns about whether this is fair. Democracy works best when people can take part in it freely and with all the facts. But this kind of engagement should never put people in danger. Zanu PF’s unsafe practices not only make the elections look bad but also make people wonder if the party really cares about its reputation and values.
In the end, the way Zanu PF is working as the elections get closer is very worrying. Packing people into buses and then leaving them to take care of themselves after the rallies raises serious questions. Does Zanu PF really care about the people, or are they just trying to look good for the elections? A free fast-food meal is not enough to make up for the risks people are facing. The people of Zimbabwe deserve better. They deserve a political system that puts their rights, safety, and well-being first.
As the elections approach, it is important for the political parties to act in a more responsible way. They need to show that they care about the people they want to represent. People should be able to take part in the elections without being put in danger or being forced to do things against their will.
