Simbarashe Chirimubwe's life under threat

Local Zimbabwean activists and friends in Botswana claims that Simbarashe Chirimubwe's life is in danger after they heard some people planning to attack him at his residence ,this supports another report which has been brought earlier that a group of some Zimbabweans were following and monitoring him.Some have even gone on to search employment where he works for effective monitoring of his life.Others are threatening to attack relatives of the activist,however finer details have been withheld to facilitate a thorough investigation of these allegations.


The crime which is being claimed by the perpetrators is that he supports and is an activist of the MDC leader Morgan Richard Tsvangirai .However Simbarashe Chirimubwe has taken the allegations with a pinch of salt because according to him "what is wrong with supporting the MDC leader,is he not a Zimbabwean?After all the GNU is now in place.The GNU symbolizes unity and progress amongst Zimbabweans,its a golden chance for us to forge ahead as a family.Zimbabweans have suffered for too long and this is an answered prayer because no political party has won,but the Zimbabweans themselves.Its an opportunity for President Mugabe to build his name and reclaim his position as the father of the nation,not a political party.I have observed that the opposition supporters are ready to forgive him and accord him his position as the father of the nation.Prime Minister Tsvangirai's humble and forgiving character has played a major role ,hence the need to cultivte it in the whole nation.President Mugabe speech at Mrs Susan Tsvangirai's funeral made me to realise that he also has feelings and can be very loving as a father.Mr President ,your Zimbabwean children misses that,in the early 1990's when i used to follow President Mugabe's biography they used to emphasise that he loved children and they loved him.Where is that heart of an angel,Mr President,Zimbabweans have scattered everywhere in search of fatherly love,some got it ,but others are still wallowing in trenches and churches as refugees in other nations.I am even touched with Prime Minister's words to you"Baba mwana wenyu aenda,zvangitikawo".Mr President what more love and respect do you want??? Zimbabweans misses that love and patriotism.President Mugabe is now the head of the state and hence the need to bring together all and sundry towards rebuilding our nation as a family.Brothers and sisters do not worry Zimbabwe will rise again,this time better than ever and I will be there .My greatest wish though if it were to be granted was for President Mugabe to leave a united Zimbabwe,with no hate,violence and intolerance.Our children and grandchildren will be grateful for the last effort goodwill,Mr President. God bless Zimbabwe"
