The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU) has diverted from its mandate of promoting and safeguarding the economic, social and constitutional freedoms of workers by securing legal, political, democratic and good governance framework in Zimbabwe through strengthening its capacity and independence and those of its affiliates, according to their mission statement. In short, it seems the labour union is now being used by the opposition political parties to fulfil their regime change agenda.

The violent protests that took place in Zimbabwe between 14 and 15 January 2019 reminded me of a story about two people who were tied to opposite ends of a room with a bowl of food in the center and given very long chopsticks which made self-feeding impossible. However, instead of feeding one another – they starved to death.

The recent shutdown which was called for by Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) and its partners has put the private media into overdrive of painting a gloomy picture of Zimbabwe locally, regionally and internationally.

The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) planned a stay away which turned out to be the worst demonstration the trade union has planned.

The orgy of violence which rocked Harare, Chitungwiza and Bulawayo among other centres this week was meant to put a damper on revamping the economy. The MDC and its surrogates of Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) together with the labour body, the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) were determined to bring anarchy in the country.

The unruly behaviour perpetrated by the opposition and its surrogate organisations is a futile attempt to discredit a constitutionally elected Government and should be condemned in the strongest terms.

The bygone violent and destructive protest stay away in most urban centres of Zimbabwe which ran from Monday to Wednesday this week triggered an internet shutdown since Tuesday morning. This was on the back of very worrying developments in which the prime movers and participants of the protests were using the social media to spread subversive ideas such as how to make petrol bombs for use during the protest which threatened national security and stability.

The blood thirsty opposition Movement for Democratic Change this week displayed its colours bare for all to see. Reports have it that two civilians and a police officer have lost their lives so far in a senseless orgy of violence against defenceless private citizens. Millions of dollars worth of property has been destroyed, with yet to be quantified amounts of goods looted mainly from supermarkets owned and run by private citizens who have nothing to do with the grievances being protested about.

The events of the past days since the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) called for mass protests and stay away, have not only been unfortunate but also turned out to be catastrophic.
