The untapped story of Vapositori
which went viral in the past days has taken another ugly face, following the
visit by Ndanga and riot police to the shrine to prescribe the ban on the
allegation of child abuse among other immoral allegations being put forward on Vapositori
Echishanu clan.

One wonders if the Ndanga
team had a court order to ban the Vapositori, as enshrined in the new Zimbabwe
Constitution, freedom of association is guaranteed and no one is forced to join
an association; such that as of Ndanga and colleagues.
The child abuse issue
should be condemned in totality, but proper investigation was needed before
Ndanga become the law unto himself and the court of Zimbabwe.
The violence behavior
of Vapositori should also be condemned, together with the intact presence of
riot police at the shrine. The presence of the duo is being reported to have fueled the anger
of Vapositori.
As it is not enough; a
group of labeled hired thugs in the name of residence tried to solve the
problem by another problem, violence by violence, I cannot confirm that there
are ZANU PF youth, but there are youth who chanted iron fist slogan, burning
the shrine and sing revolutionary songs.
These youth might thought that
violence is defined as beating a person, not knowing that violence has an array
of coverage that also constitutes their behavior of burning and destroying
fellow citizens ‘s property , what if the courts acquit the Vapositori of
any charges.
The idea of taking law
into our hands, outside the hands of the constitution should not be left
unchecked, or else we move to a stateless society in which bush law is used to
solve the problems.
One would expect the
arrest of those who burnt the Vapositori shrine. Let’s say no to violence!
Let’s wait and see.
