Vice President Chiwenga & the Flies Analogy that visited the UK House of Lords

Vice President Chiwenga threatened members of the CCC and the message visited the UK House of Lords resulting in the following question and answer:

“Is he aware that at the Zanu PF rally on February 26, Vice President Chiwenga said of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change you see how we crushed lice you make it on a flat stone and then flatten to the extent that even flies will not make a meal of it?

That is what we are going to do to the CCC.

The following day a CCC rally was attacked with iron bars, machetes, and spears one opposition supporter was killed, and many more hospitals.

Will the government condemn the Vice President’s violent incitement and work with the international community to hold the Zimbabwean government accountable for the safety and security of all Zimbabweans who should have the right to freely elect their leaders without fear of violence or intimidation?

My Noble Lords, I agree that such language inciting political violence has no place in any country, including Zimbabwe.

We urge the Government of Zimbabwe to live up to their constitution in ensuring that all political parties are allowed to operate and campaign without harassment, as our ambassador public has stated after the death of CCC supports at the rally of the 27th of February, we urge the police to fully investigate any acts of political violence and bring the perpetrators to justice.”
