ZINASU commemorates the March 11 atrocities
Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU)
March 11, 2008

The Zimbabwe National Students Union joins the rest of the country in commemorating the atrocious events of March 11, 2007. What was supposed to be a peaceful prayer meeting turned out to be an opportune moment for the vampire regime to suck blood off the innocent and to display its ultra sadistic tendencies towards the people they profess to govern.

A prayer meeting organised by respectable clergymen under the Save Zimbabwe Campaign, praying for our beloved country that has been witnessing unruly forms of abuse caused by Mugabe and his oligarchy. Zimbabwe is experiencing the highest inflation rate in the world in which the government or rather Zanu PF controlled Central Statistics Office put at a modest 103,000% and the worst forms of human rights abuse reminiscent of the Adolf Hitler Regime in an effort to cling on to power whether overtly or covertly, legally or illegally and through any means necessary. Through any means necessary is the ideology that is underlining Zanu PF. The prayer meeting mirrored the crisis bedevilling our beloved country in black and white for all to see. Pretending everything was normal and fearing exposure of mismanagement, Mugabe violently disrupted the meeting. Gift Tandare, a Human Rights activist, was shot dead in cold blood by the brutal and overzealous police following reckless orders by the geriatric dictator.

President Morgan Richard Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change and the chairman of the National Constitution Assembly, Dr Lovemore Madhuku were among the scores of people who were arrested on their way to the meeting.

The period running up to the General Elections has been punctuated by violence and voter intimidation orchestrated by the rogue state through its dreaded and odious Central Intelligence Organisation, Zanu Pf elements and the police force. Numerous arrests on the aspiring opposition candidates and supporters have been made on and concocted charges with inalienable constitutional right of trial within a reasonable time being blatantly disregarded. This is a strategy to technically deny the opposition enough time to campaign.

We however urge all eligible Zimbabwean voters to go and vote on the 29th of March 2008. Let's vote with our fallen heroes in mind. Let's vote with Gift Tandare, Learnmore Jongwe, Talent Mabika, Tichaona Chiminya and many other victims of Mugabe's brutality in mind.

ZINASU thus joins the Zimbabwean community in commemorating the first anniversary of the sad events that unfolded on March 11, 2007 particularly at a time when elections are a stone's throw away.
