1/24 In the interest of doing right by God & doing right by the fundamental law of the land--the Constitution of Zimbabwe--this is a report on why some ZDF soldiers callously murdered fleeing demonstrators & bystanders, shooting them in the back, yesterday in Harare. See video!
2/24 The explanation for the patently criminally act, in violation of international law is linked to a plot by @ZECzim to steal the result of the 2018 presidential election in collusion with ZanuPF & elements of the Army who yesterday unleashed lethal violence against protesters!
3/24 Before making the report I wish to express my condolences to the victims, families & friends of compatriots who were murdered in cold blood or injured yesterday by criminal elements of the ZDF. Nothing can excuse what the soldiers did. Nothing. The ZDF violence was illegal!
4/24 It's been clear since the election results started coming out from polling stations the night of the election, that Emmerson Mnangagwa was losing the presidential election even, or tellingly also, in constituencies where ZanuPF was winning the parliamentary vote, as in Seke!
5/24 By Tuesday morning, 31 July 2018, the realization that Nelson Chamisa was winning the presidential vote & that ZanuPF parliamentary candidates were performing better than their party's presidential candidate, caused chaos in sections of the Army, ZanuPF & @ZECzim! 
6/24 A decision to compromise the election to deny Nelson Chamisa the vote was made in the wee hours of 31 July. While only a proper investigation will unravel what happened, it included not posting V11 Forms outside 21% of 10,985 polling stations so as to manipulate these forms!
7/24 There was manipulation of V11 Forms at polling stations where the opposition did not have polling agents such as at Gore Village Tent in UMP. It cannot be that Chamisa & all other candidates got zero votes here. The person who signed the V11 Form also signed as the witness!
11/24 In effect @ZECzim has refused to clean up it's own mess; a mess created to facilitate the rigging of the election right from the beginning. The voters roll is a mess, the presidential ballot paper is a mess, ballot boxes are a mess, V11 Forms are a mess; & the list goes on!
12/24 Parallel to the manipulation of V11 Froms & other voting materials, #ZEC & the Military have created narratives to criminalise Chamisa & other @MDCAllianceZW leaders such as @BitiTendai. This is being done to create a pretext for justifying another poll coup by the Army!
14/24 Much has been made by the Army-run ZanuPF & its media that Chamisa incited his supporters by tweeting that he was certain of victory. But Mnangagwa also made similar assertions & even worse his supporters have threatened war if ZanuPF loses & #ZEC has remained deaf to this!
16/24 Against this backdrop, everyone became frustrated by & impatient with #ZEC, whose lack of transparency has been a huge problem in this election. It was a no brainer that there was a high probability frustrated voters would exercise their constituiobal right to demonstrate!
17/24 It's improbable that yesterday's demonstration surprised anyone. What is surprising & shocking is the massive use of military force which turned Harare into a war zone. Also shocking are the official denials of what happened yesterday with Chiwenga being the worst example!
19/24 The November coup is now playing out. Like the Army's 2008 poll coup, the 2018 Army coup is against the popular will of the people expressed at the polls. It's an indictment on Zimbabwe, Sadc, AU & UN that the 2008 coup makers are also the 2018 coup makers, seen yesterday!
21/24 Here is the fraudulent presidential election result that @ZECzim has cooked up:
Emmerson Mnangagwa: 53.1%
2 387 554 votes
Nelson Chamisa: 45.5%
2 048 737 votes
Total votes cast
4 497 896
This result is at odds with the tabulation of results at & from polling stations!
Emmerson Mnangagwa: 53.1%
2 387 554 votes
Nelson Chamisa: 45.5%
2 048 737 votes
Total votes cast
4 497 896
This result is at odds with the tabulation of results at & from polling stations!
22/24 The Army murdered demonstrators & bystanders, such as Sylva Maposa, to impose a fraudulent presidential election result. The Constitution is clear on how the Army is deployed & by who. Who deployed it yesterday? Legally, it can't be Obert Mpofu, CGP Matanga or Chiwenga. No!
23/24 Sadc, AU & the UN have thus far let down Zimbabweans by folding their arms & not assisting to cure the November coup. The coup makers have taken this failure as a license to do as they wish. The Army murder of civilians in yet another poll coup is a result of that failure!
24/24 Those behind yesterday's Army atrocity believe in & have enjoyed impunity. They've never been held accountable; not over gukurahundi, not over Murambatsvina in 2005, not over 2008 poll coup. It's time for Sadc & AU to act, if not the UN or the International Criminal Court!
The Seke results show that while ZanuPF won the parliamentary vote, Mnangagwa lost the presidential vote. This happened in many other constituencies as part of what was a clear "bhora musango" phenomenon!
17A/24 In this video that has gone viral, Chiwenga shockingly claims that the the defence forces went in AFTER three people WERE KILLED by "the hooligans". This is an arrogant assertion of IMPUNITY by a former Commander of the Defense Forces who still controls part of the Army!
24A/24 This statement by the Human Rights NGO Forum should pave the way to hold accountable, in terms of international law those responsible for deploying the Army with automatic weapons against unarmed civilians who were shot in the back, as they fled soldiers on a rampage!
3A/24 The Zimbabwe Republic Police says the number of civilian victims murdered by the Army yesterday has risen from three to six!
25B/24 While everybody saw that it is the Army that indiscriminately shot at unarmed civilians & killed at least six & gravely injured many more, the target of the Police investigation are the victims. The Army perpetrators enjoy impunity & are thus untouchable. This must stop!
