One of the things which I must admit about, was how I hated NGOs due to @ZANUPF_Official propaganda which framed them as enemies of the state. Yet they were there to fight for people's rights, including those in ZANU.
Only when I left ZANU did the truth dawn on me. Also when I got arrested some of these organisations stood with me. @ZLHRLawyers gave me lawyers. I began to realise that Zanu hated them because they conscientise people and make them aware of their rights.
Going towards elections ZANU has started again contriving stories against them. There is no need for that. Zimbabweans know what they want.
That is where I differ with ZANU, it's propensity for violence against opponents. Go to Hurungwe West. People will tell you I never pushed for violence, the slogan wasn't imperative. All I did was work hard. I never forced anyone to attend meetings.
I embraced everyone and was inclusive. I never wanted violence. I actually disbanded all the camps for violence and was called for a hearing. I told them I will change that constituency through clean hard work. MDC supporters could attend their meetings openly .
That is why today I'm able to fit anywhere. Therefore these NGOs are critical. It's not good to fight them. People already know what they want.
Fighting the NGOs will not change anything. You have gone after moneychangers. Now you go after NGOs. You can't be fighting everyone and framing everyone as an opponent.
