Jah Prayzah won’t be getting my Vote

Until he says "Zanu PF must Go", Jah Prayzah won’t be getting my vote

In the last 24 hours I have seen loads of people tweeting about that singer Jah Prayzah, who apparently got nominated for some international ward that requires a public vote of some sort. Jah Prayzah is said to be appealing for the Zimbabwean people to vote for him so that he wins this award and subsequently get a bigger head than the one he already has!

But this is a guy who is silent about the evils of this Zanu PF Junta. Not only that, he sings at their jamborees where they celebrate their ill gotten power with no sense of self awareness at all. He was also silent during the #ZimbabweanLivesMatter campaign. He is NOT a man of the people.

I will go on and say any so called celebrity in Zimbabwe that does not publicly criticize Zanu PF's systematic destruction of Zimbabwe, is an "enabler of fascism". There are many of them, we all know them. Now if these 'celebrities' are not echoing the cries of the masses then their celebrity is pointless to us, the masses. If we the masses are easily suckered in by such pointless celebrities then we are also part of the problem. This is why Zimbabweans should stop giving attention to these Zanu PF enablers. These people are laughing on our faces and we keep getting dazzled by whatever it is that they sell to us. If you want Zimbabwe to get rid of Zanu PF and become a proper country where things work and where people are treated like human beings, you contradict yourself when you give attention to people like Jah Prayzah.

Until the day he says "Zanu pf must go", Jah Prayzah will not be getting my vote nor my attention.

Rise in Shooting Fatalities in Zimbabwe

The Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZHRO) is distraught and extremely dismayed at the rise in shooting fatalities in Zimbabwe especially in the last 30 days.

Zimbabwean Soldier

The first reported incident in the last 30 days was around the 6th of September 2020.  Reports are that it occurred in the Chivhu area as reported in the various Zimbabwean State media and News Papers.  The reports are that there was a firefight with two men who are said to have previously shot two soldiers.  The two men are said to have been shot and fatally wounded.  The manner in which the deployment of the Zimbabwean forces has been carried out is shocking when looked at by the lay.  It seems to be leading to conflicts within the communities up and down the whole of Zimbabwe.

The second reported incident was around the 1st of October 2020 in the world renowned Victoria Falls area.  It is alleged that members of the Zimbabwean security forces shot two men, fatally injuring one.  There seems to have been an argument of sorts that led to the shooting.
The third and latest reported incident involved ZANU PF Youths who were shot at allegedly for trespassing.  The reports were made yesterday on the 3rd of October 2020 in the Country’s main Government Newspaper (The Herald).  It is also alleged that one youth lost his life following the shooting and two security guards are under arrest.

Zimbabwe is a country that has historically been plagued by more than just isolated incidents of Rights Abuses.  This is the same country that previously bard entry to Manfred Nowak, the Special Rapporteur on torture in 2009.

It is a shame and it is extremely concerning that the Zimbabwe National Army is deployed all over Zimbabwe, living with the people they are meant to protect, not in barracks, yet there is no civil war, there is no invasion and incidents involving security forces, have been escalating.

In times of peace, soldiers are usually confined to the borders of countries, barracks and  military installations.
