A Movement for Democratic Change supporter's house was last week
burnt down by a Zanu (PF) gang as renewed violence against Zimbabwe's
majority party intensifies, the party reported on Tuesday.
The party newspaper, The Changing Times pictured the arson victim, Sarudzai
Taodzera in front of her gutted house.
The front-page report headlined 'Violence flares up again' was published
just hours before South African President and SADC facilitator to the
inter-party dialogue was due in Harare for make-or-break talks involving the
three signatories of a 2008 power-sharing deal involving President Robert
Mugabe, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and his deputy Arthur Mutambara.
The Times said Tsvangirai had been told during a countrywide tour of a
resurgence of violence across the country, including a resurgence of torture
bases set up with the assistance of rogue members of the police.
The Premier was furious that Mugabe's party could so blatantly violate the
terms of the Global Political Agreement which is now threatened by the
ageing dictator's refusal to implement its key provisions, the subject of
Zuma's visit.
Arson victim Taodzera told The Times that the attack took place last
Thursday night but police at Kadzere station had not done anything about it
despite the attackers having been identified.
Taodzera said she lost household property, although no-one was injured as
the house was unoccupied when the attack took place.
Finance Minister and GPA negotiator Tendai Biti visited the home on Sunday
and condemned the attack.

Mugabe planning massive violence on MDC after World Cup
Robert Mugabe's Zanu (PF) has started recruiting youths for
training in sophisticated murder and torture techniques for a massive
campaign of violence against the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) soon
after the World Cup, a report said.
Investigations by The Zimbabwean have revealed that the vicious campaign of
terror is expected to roll into motion in July, soon after the soccer World
Cup ends in South Africa and the media spotlight shifts elsewhere.
High-level sources within both Zanu (PF) and MDC-T as well as the security
services said the purpose of this horrific plan, if it succeeds, was to
plunge the country into total anarchy, making it impossible to continue with
the drafting of a new constitution.

A U acts against Madagascar's
The African Union has put sanctions on Madagascar's leader Andry Rajoelina, after he failed to meet a deadline to set up a unity government.
Mr Rajoelina and 108 of his backers will face travel restrictions and have any foreign assets frozen, the AU said.
The organisation wants to force Mr Rajoelina, a former DJ who seized power a year ago, back into negotiations
With this said, what have they said and done about Mugabe? Nothing. Could skin color be a factor here? Typical of the AU

Zimbabwe 'needs peacekeeping force' for election
Tsvangirai and longtime rival Robert Mugabe entered into a power
sharing deal in 2008, known as the Global Political Agreement. Under the
terms of the agreement, the country must hold elections after 24 months.
"We agreed that within the next 18-24 months we go for elections, so far we
have finished one year," he said.
"We still have some months to complete the GPA, we don't want elections that
are full of violence, we want free and fair elections."
Tsvangirai expressed concern about reports of persistent violence he said he
was receiving from across the country.
"We want a peacekeeping force, so that we can have a free and fair
environment for the election to keep our people free so that they can vote.
"We can use AU and Southern African Development Community forces for
peacekeeping during the election period," he added.

So much for unity!

ministerial roles away from ministers belonging to the party of Morgan
Tsvangirai, prime minister, to ministers loyal to his own Zanu-PF party.
An angry Tendai Biti, finance minister in the coalition government and MDC
secretary-general condemned the reassignment of cabinet responsibilities
saying this was not "the unilateral right" of the president but a joint
responsibility shared by the leaders of the two parties. "This business of
castrating other ministries cannot happen. We will not accept that," he
said.

Thanks to the continued support of the Democratic Alliance
The DA called on the South African government to "rethink its fundamental
approach to Zimbabwe as a matter of urgency", while challenging Zuma to
adopt a more considered stance and refocus South African national policy to
be utilised to impact on Zimbabwe's "dire political situation".
The opposition party suggested that Zuma strongly opposes any acts of
violence towards innocent civilians, and to recommit the South African government
to the targeted sanctions currently imposed on Mugabe and his cronies until
meaningful steps are taken by the Zimbabwean leadership.
