Former Minister of State of State Security and one of the founding members of Zimbabwe People First party Didymus Mutasa claims that Zimbabweans are not happy because there is no freedom in Zimbabwe. He said it was ironic that citizens were being denied freedom by ZanuPF, one of the parties who had fought the colonial regime for this important right. The former minister also went on to claim that even members of ZanuPF were not happy with the current state of things.
In an interview with the Financial Gazette, Mutasa claimed said:
No one is happy because the situation is just bad. No one should ever lie to themselves that we are in a free country. There is no freedom in this country. And I doubt if there is anyone, even in ZANU-PF, who is enjoying the situation we are currently experiencing.
How can you go to fight for freedom and then come back to steal from the very thing that you were fighting for?
But what pains me is to fight against… ZANU-PF; ZANU-PF which was fighting for the freedom of this country and is now the very same party that is denying others freedom. And the opposition have got to organise themselves to fight against them; an African government for that matter. It doesn’t make much sense. It doesn’t.
