What happened to harmonised elections last year? They vote Zanu-PF and they think they will get a different result just like those who continues to vote Anc here in Satafrika.

advocatemahere fire with fire, isai nyere vakomana.

Munangagwa is a blood thirsty individual who will do everything to remain in power. We need help from SA and all neighbours like yesterday

Massage sent to deaf ears. And do we even have a government in Zimbabwe? Which Zim government are they referring to

rumbi_masango South Africa should protect its own interest by facilitating dialogue and peace in Zimbabwe Zimbos working hard in all sectors of SouthAfrica economy, it is time to return the favour by stopping ZimbabweShutdown and brutal repression. Wamagaisa DrNkuSibanda PatsonDzamara

we have heard from everybody but SADC_News and AfricansnionUN. their silence is too loud!

Africa cannot build and educate our people as was done century in europe. Too much interference give yr leader time to fix. Sanction impose by the west

ProfJNMoyo Its high time we citizens of Zimbabwe give those brutalists a bit of own medicine... I'm sure it goes with maturity cz i haven't heard anything bad from our elderly Vp mohadi...only those 2 thugs nxa

Stop talking start acting UN human rights

advocatemahere Wer is the voice of SADC and AU in all this?

OpenParlyZw HAS THE UN EVER SENT ANY MASSAGE TO LOOTERS__IF NOT WHICH MEANS SABC YOU ARE SLOWLY BECOMING A PROPAGANDA NEWS NETWORK

OpenParlyZw HAS THE UN EVER CALLS SA TO HALT CRACKDOWN ON FIRING PROTESTERS WHICH ENDED YOU KILLING TATANE ____39 IN MARIKANA _SCHOOL CHILDREN AND MANY OTHERS EVERYDAY

What message did UN send to the violent and armed protesters?

Where is SADC&AU

advocatemahere

Thank you SABC for showing empathy to Zimbabweans, but ANC is proZANU and Ramaphosa is a half Mnangagwa, and in 10 years time SA will be worse than Zimbabwe.

When is the UN goin to come to our rescue we are being brutalised in broad day light scared of our lives and all u do is to just say stop aaah cmon

advocatemahere Just a phone call

AU and SADC are captured by the Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 gvt they are told what to say and do.Mugabe was removed by a coup but they said nothing and on August 1 2018 unarmed civilians were killed & they said nothing and worse still since last wk many hv bn killed and still they say nothing

SteveZwitter Of what use are words?

These morons zanu_pf will not stop brutalising us. They are heartless and shameless. They have turned this country into another north korea...yet sadc & AU see nothing wrong with whats happening here...its really shameful

Great call but don't recall the same for hundreds of Palestinian protesters butchered by Israel.

maybe if you add 'or else ...' they will listen

Why civilians alone the security agents were also deployed to loot, only civilians are punished.

This human rights is useless nd is lead by stupid people's like those who abuse people's like mnangwanga nd chiwenga

Un human rights COMMISSION you still saying zim government stop stop why,should have now opened a case IOC court by now peoples are doing while are watching each and every year but still saying stop why,u call ur lawyers for a case against president

africaupdates Most of these international orgs are lame ducks. AU, Sadc, UN etc. If what is happening in aim happened in Europe, it would be called Genocide. Same as in Syria. No action whatsoever. Africa needs to find ways to take out these despots.

wesbeal The crackdown against protestors is being carried out by rogue elements /fake/retired police/army. They stole uniforms. Remember?

And the SA government is sitting quietly on the fence😐😐

Did SADC and the AU say something.

SteveZwitter why call for a halt without the perpetrators held accountable?

ProfJNMoyo Can the UN make a call on people to stop looting and destroying property. I am not a politician nor a beneficiary of politics but it sucks me when some pretend to be right defenders.....Yes we are struggling but now we struggle more with our properties destroyed

ProfJNMoyo And if they dont stop what happens? They 'call on' them again Things are happening where the cameras are not recording. The situation is far dire than the few pictures you have seen show. The no names are being left for dead whilst the UN 'calls on'. What has SADC and AU said?

hwende Rubbish,,,,so the government should just watch these ruthless goons ,destroying property

ProfJNMoyo its sad that our so called african brothers SADC_News CyrilRamaphosa and _AfricanUnion have not said a wiff. I wonder if this is part of their African solution to an African problem? Julius_S_Malema MmusiMaimane

ProfJNMoyo Why does the UN also not call on the masses in Zimbabwe to stop being violent and protest in civily

OpenParlyZw They never listen ,donate rubber bullets because they'll never stop pulling the trigger

Zimbabwe is closed for business but open for live ammunition!

They dont listen ButcherRegime

The UN is always calling on things. I call on the UN to start doing something.

Different president. Same old, same old.

ProfJNMoyo Unfortunately mere calls without action will never move this murderous regime.

ProfJNMoyo Malaba for seen it and voted for Mnangagwa

ProfJNMoyo I don’t think it’s necessary anymore. The next generation will be saved by grace of God we are on our own. We are murdered everyday. Some are the relatives of who voted for Mnangagwa

ProfJNMoyo UN ngainyarare hayo tok tok tok is all they do nxaaa

ProfJNMoyo All talk but no action.

Where is AU...African solution to African problems. All talk...

Haiwahwawo munongotaura pasina action nyararai uko mahypocrites

Called upon to 'please stop' firing on citizens, how feeble, pathetic. Brutality at its worst, the silence is deafening.

Sadc is silent

ProfJNMoyo When will they intervene?

PLEASE UNGeneva ! We now need to see ACTION taken against Mnangagwa's murderous regime that's murdering, abducting & torchering its own citizens! We need to see the issue of Zimbabwe taken to the UN Security Council and SANCTIONS must be imposed! ACTION NOW!

African gvt are good at spilling blood but when it comes to development and job creation dololo. ShutDownZimbabwe turns to ,ShuDownLyf of unarmed civilians.

ProfJNMoyo SOS UN

ProfJNMoyo They juss make too much noise with no action. Give people guns and ammo and stinger missiles to protect themselves from the tyranny....

ProfJNMoyo UN is WEAK... UselessNetwork

ProfJNMoyo How come they said nothing about the attack on police officers? Are they less human?

ED_Josp The world has ignored us one cousin murdered , another one brutalized, my aunt raped ....who will hear us, we hve all fled our homes . why us ? a genocide

ProfJNMoyo These monsters failed Mugabe’s for love of power.
