Foundation of Reason & Justice Open letter to new President of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai
Dear His Excellency President Morgan Tsvangirai
Greetings to you in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior
I always praise God for the role you have taken in opposing the atrocities and gross human rights abuses of the communist rule of President Robert Mugabe’s ZANU PF government.
Your refusal to compromise, capitulate or to be bribed into silence by Mugabe’s wicked regime is greatly appreciated and highly valued international. Since 1980 Zimbabwe lacked black leaders of your caliber.
It’s good that God has been faithful to protect your life from several murder attempts of Mugabe and his vicious cronies in ZANU PF government. I also have to say that:
(1). Millions of Zimbabweans had their homes destroyed because they supported your government.
(2). Millions of Zimbabweans are being starved to death because they voted for you since March 2002 presidential elections that you won.
(3). Commercial farmers had all their land or farms invaded, looted and seized by Mugabe’s henchman because they supported you.
(4). More than 3 million Zimbabweans have been exiled because they had hope in the MDC government and supported it.
(5). Tens of thousands of MDC supporters have been tortured and many suffered violent deaths.
Currently amidst of mass starvation food importation has been banned (or is charged exorbitant duties) in Zimbabwe by Mugabe’s ZANU PF government in order to starve your supporters.
If the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) had not come into being in 1999, millions of Zimbabweans would not have been made to endure starvation and suffering on such a massive scale.
I in no way regret the formation of your government. Zimbabwe desperately needed honest leaders like you to challenge decades of ZANU misrule.
ZAN U regime is refusing to announce poll results because they have lost. Your government has won 29 March 2008. Therefore has legitimacy to rule Zimbabwe.
God's authority is within your hands to disband or punish ZANU PF criminals who do not want to leave state offices.
Righteous revolution or war of liberation against tyrant is moral justifiable. Historical Reformed or Biblical Christianity require that any resistance against tyrant be done under legitimate leadership such as yours.
Biblical tyrants were slaughtered by leaders sent from God. Historical tyrants were removed in righteous revolutions and punished for their crimes.
Zimbabweans are looking to you for leadership against the wicked in ZANU PF regime. There is no cost to high for attaining freedom for our country. Death or suffering is nothing for the sake of freedom and prosperity for our children. Mugabe's ZANU PF must go at all cost.
May your government act swiftly while the enemy is paralyzed and confused by electoral defeat.
Majority of black political organization in Africa are not on our side. But we have nothing to fear since God is on our side. All our victories in Zimbabwe are for Him, therefore our revolution will triumph irrespective of the cost.
Foundation of Reason & Justice shall exist to further the cause of God's justice, and for the defense of the poor and oppressed Zimbabweans.
Yours for freedom & liberation of Zimbabwe,

URGENT CALL FOR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT ZIMBABWE
Zimbabwe is great political crisis. Tens of thousands of people have died of State starvation. Tens of thousands of political enemies have been tortured or murdered by Mugabe's ZANU PF since 2000. In 1983 40 000 Ndebele's have been massacred. Currently millions are starving to death. Zimbabwe is battling for life. The struggle for justice and freedom in Zimbabwe is for the future of Africa.
The Struggle for freedom & justice in Zimbabwe is between God's people and satan. ZANU PF government of President Robert Mugabe is satan's instrument for causing suffering to millions of people.
Morgan Tsvangirai posed a serious opposition to the atrocities President of President Robert Mugabe. Tsvangirai was steadfast and honest in his opposition to ZANU PF. In 2002 he won presidential elections which were rigged and manipulated by ZANU PF.
Presidential elections have been scheduled for 29 March 2008. Three Candidates (the aged dictator Robert Mugabe, so-called Indipendent Mr. Simba Makoni, Morgan Tsvangirai MDC) have registered for elections.
Simba Makoni (loyal to ZANU PF ungodly and destructive policies for 27 years) announced that he is standing as independent candidate. Simba Makoni is supported by other notorious ZANU PF leaders like Mujuru. Simba Makoni is a fake opposition to Mugabe.
One of the Two is mostly likely to happen.
ZANU PF is going to rig elections for Robert Mugabe
or
ZANU PF is going to rig elections for Simba Makoni the so-called independent.
ZANU PF is desparate and has lost all the popularity both local and international. And has realized that it will not get nowhere without support from the West. It will inevitable fall. I’m sure they have a plan to put Simba Makoni. If they want to put Makoni, Mugabe can not simple put Makoni. They have to rig elections for him. If they put Makoni its easy for the world to see that he is illegitimate. So they have to put him as opposition and rig elections for him so that he can restore investor’s confidence and attract Western confidence.
Simba Makoni or Mugabe cannot win free and fair elections. They will have to rig. If Simba Makoni is a really opposition to Mugabe he cannot win them because Mugabe will rig them. He has all the machinery to rig. If it is true that ZANU PF old guards no longer want Mugabe they can simple remove through revolution.
Being aware of the crimes they have committed ZANU PF leaders including Simba Makoni (guilty of complicity) will stand together. Their lives are at stake. Much blood has been shed by ZANU PF since 1980. People are angry righteously and want justice to be done.
Zimbabwe will not accept rigged elections. Whether rigged for Makoni or Mugabe. We want free and fair elections. All ZANU PF leaders including Simba Makoni are liars, murderers, and persecutors of the Church. This is a critical time in the history of Zimbabwe; we desperately need your support. Many people have sacrificed their lives for the seek of freedom in Zimbabwe, therefore we don't want the country to continue in ZANU PF hands or to be handed over to other ZANU PF loyalist like Simba Makoni under facade of free elections. Please pray for Zimbabwe, we want God to foil all ZANU PF plans. Make our reports known.
Yours for true freedom & justice

ZIMBABWE: OPEN LETTER TO MP. DAVID COLTART
Dear David Coltart
Greetings to you in Jesus name.
Thank you for information in your newsletters about the delimitation process in Bulawayo.
David l don't understand the Leadership on your side of MDC. Why is it that your leadership specifically Aurthur Mutambara spend more time criticizing Morgan Tsvangirai. l still don't believe that Mutambara is honest to Zimbabweans. Many people believe that he is being used by ZANU PF.
Its ironic that your faction is supporting Simba Makoni. Makoni is ZANU PF. And l know all ZANU PF leaders are oppressing the Zimbabweans together, stealing taxes from the poor. Benefiting unjustly from poor taxpapers through inflation and other destructive policies. Dr. Simba Makoni recently declared that he has been faithful to ZANU PF for the past 27 years. When ZANU PF was murdering the Ndebeles he was faithful. When ZANU was invading commercial farms and companies he was faithful to it. ZANU starving and torturing opposition he was faithful. And your President Arthur Mutambara said that he support Simba Makoni. Assuming that Makoni will win March 2008 election how is he going to govern the country without a party? Why was his decision so sudden, less than 3months before critical elections?
Zimbabweans we don't trust Arthur Mutambara and your Secretary General Welshman Ncube. Ncube is already in possession of a commercial farm he was given by ZANU PF. Before he was criticising ZANU PF leaders' behaviour over White owned farms.
Personal l believe Simba Makoni you are supporting is being used by ZANU PF to divide votes between Tsvangirai MDC and ZANU PF. The same thing that a ZANU PF officail Edgar Tekere did in the 1990s. People don't see any accountability and transparents in your MDC faction.
I think your decision to support ZANU PF, Makoni is good since it mark the demise of your faction.
"...Simba Makoni provides the best way out of the mess that Zimbabwe finds itself in
today.
Some few months you were telling us that your MDC faction under the leadership of Arthur Mutambara is the way. Zimbabwe don't want confused leaders like you. You have to campaign against Mugabe with the view that your party rule the country. But you don't even trust yourself and your leader Mutambara therefore Zimbabweans cannot trust you.
There is no hope in ZANU PF. They have lead us where we are and how can they help us out of the crisis. The best way that ZANU PF can help Zimbabwe is for them including Mr. Simba Makoni to leave politics. They have failed. For the past 27 years Zimbabweans have been pushing a car without engine. Thank God that majority now see that ZANU PF leaders including Simba Makoni are cruel and heartless.
l have never had of Simba Makoni visiting Zimbabweans in exile in South Africa and Britain to see their plight. He, Makoni sleep dreaming that he wants to be president of Zimbabwe. Whereas he does not not care about the poor and oppressed Zimbabweans.
"If it is a trick why has Mugabe in the last few days spewed out such venom against Makoni
calling him a prostitute and a frog?" (David Coltart).
Mugabe has to call Simba Makoni a prostitute so that people can think that there are opponents whereas they are working together to divide votes and cause confusion. Mugabe did the same to Edgar Tekere and later they were together.
In reality political leaders who don't care about the poor, who benefited from ZANU oppressive system are 'politcal prostitutes.'
So David your argument is not strong. We don't support Makoni a ZANU PF loyalist.Mutambara and Welshman Ncube are pretending as if they want to unite with Tsvangirai MDC which l don't believe is the case. You don't even criticise Mugabe and ZANU PF in a way you criticise Tsvangirai's MDC.
People trust Morgan Tsvangirai because of his track record, steadfst oppossition to Mugabe. Mugabe only see Tsvangirai as a threat so is prepapared to Murder him or sponsor opposition leaders (black or white) who will oppose him. l'm glad that the situation is not hopeless because we have God who see and judge history. God wants Zimbabwe to be free from oppressors. Responsible people should rule the counrty. Its tragic that our fellow opposition are getting bribed along the way. We have come a long way with the struggle and we will not take short cuts.
l have attended many meetings of MDC in Johannesburg. l have never had them criticising your faction. l was so much inspired by the words of President Morgan Tsvangirai, 'l will not rest until Ncube, Sibanda etc... is back. Zimbabweans let us not despise each other...'
I implore some of our opposition political leaders to be serious. Mugabe must go, all ZANU PF leaders including Simba Makoni must go. Zimbabwe must be rebuild people are dying every day due state starvation, torture, murder etc... We don't want fake oppositions working for ZANU PF, determined to confuse the electorate.

SA High Court Judge condemn the Abuse of Zimbabwean Refugees
More than 500 Zimbabweans who had taken refugee at Methodist Church in Johannesburg have been recently attacked, harassed and arrested by South African police.
Bishop Paul Verryn of the Methodist Church had shown great compassion by accommodating more than 600 Zimbabweans at the Church premises. These refugees had fled severe political and religious persecutions in Zimbabwe.
The Methodist Church is the only Church l know in Johannesburg which had given the homeless home, the hopeless hope, and the helpless help. Hundreds of persecuted, starved, oppressed and exiled Zimbabweans were welcomed at Methodist Church.
The ruling ANC government of President Thabo Mbeki which supports Mugabe's dictatorship in Zimbabwe is very aware of the good work the Methodist Church is doing. Even the former president Nelson Mandela was used to visit this Methodist Church of Bishop Paul Verryn.
It is shameful that the ANC send the police to raid and damage property of the Church of Jesus Christ. The Church helping immigrants who had fled f state-made starvation and persecution.
The Cape Augus quoted, Judge Roland Surtherland as having ordered the release of nine Zimbabwe refugees’ applicants and ordered an investigation into the magistrate's conduct after an urgent application was brought by Legal Resources center against justice authorities.
Judge Sutherland said former president Mandela had told the nation that South Africa would never again have to deal with the obscenities of the apartheid regime. It was then ironic to witness in Courts such treatment of people a decade later. Sutherland apologized to each applicant for the manner in which they were treated.
When the refugees sought bail their bail hearing was postponed three times in Johannesburg Magistrate Court. The attitude of the Magistrate was so bad towards Zimbabwean refugees. Advocate Gilbert Marcus SC asked for the matter to be referred to magistrate Commission. In its submission the advocate said, “Unjustifiable delay imposed by magistrate Du Pisari, constituted punishment without law.”
They is no justice in South Africa. The ANC has failed dismally to administer justice to cushion the poor.
South Africa is said to be a human rights country but its weakest members are abused by authorities. Refugees in South Africa face great hardship and many uncertainties. Many Police and Home Affairs officials are corrupt and abusive to refugees.
To read more about Zimbabwean refugees go to zimjustice.blogspot.com, http://forjustice.atspace.org
Pray for God's justice to take place in Zimbabwe. Ask God to give understanding to SA ANC leaders so that human rights abuses can halt. Give practical support to those standing up for rights of oppressed Zimbabweans.

Catholics call for Zimbabwe presidential elections (March 2008) to be postponed
Zimbabwean Elections are not going to be free and fair. ZANU PF government of president Robert Mugabe does not want to leave power. Political opponents are being harassed, starved, beaten, tortured and murdered by ZANU.
l mentioned it last year in my article titled 'Bishop Manhanga Support ZANU PF' that, 'Tyranny knows that it doesn't have legitimacy therefore will not give you room to remove it through elections. Mugabe is the one violating the Zimbabwean constitution by rigging elections and murdering innocent people.'
Zimbabwean elections are hopeless. Dr. Rev. Derek Carlsen stated that in an immoral society the ballot does not work. Those in power can make it say anything. Therefore the ideals of justice, peace, freedom and harmony are not going to come through elections.
The Zimbabwean crisis poses great challenge to us Christians. As God called us to be salt and light (Matt 5:13) by seeking justice and rescuing those being lead to death.
Pray for opposition and Church leaders working for change in Zimbabwe. Support practical the cause of freedom and justice. If you are not yet subscribed to our newsletters please send us your email.

Catholics call for Zimbabwe elections to be postponed
By agency reporter
18 Feb 2008
Zimbabwe's Roman Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (CJPC) has called for the postponement of the national elections due on 29 March 2008. They say there are clear signs that the poll will not be free and fair under current conditions.
The J&P Commission commented that both the established voter registration process and the requirements for the presidential and parliamentary elections are "cumbersome" and will make it difficult for citizens in many areas of the country to take part.
"There has been inadequate preparation and voter education on the electoral process," the Commission declared in a statement released on 16 February.
It added that the confusion is compounded by the presidential and parliamentary elections being held simultaneously for the first time.
Millions of Zimbabweans who have fled to neighbouring states or who have gone overseas to escape their country's economic meltdown should be allowed to vote because they still contribute significantly to Zimbabwe, the Commission said.
The Catholic Justice and Peace Commission urged government authorities to adhere to the Southern African Development Community's Principles and Guidelines Governing the Holding of Democratic Elections "in letter and in spirit."
"We would like to remind the relevant authorities and citizens that elections are a process and not a once-off event," it said.
The justice and peace commission said that, seven weeks before the elections, citizens still did not have information such as which candidates would be running and which parties would field candidates.
"We strongly recommend that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission be dissolved with immediate effect and a new one be appointed in terms of the new law", the Commission concluded.

Catholics call for Zimbabwe elections to be postponed
By agency reporter
18 Feb 2008
Zimbabwe's Roman Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (CJPC) has called for the postponement of the national elections due on 29 March 2008. They say there are clear signs that the poll will not be free and fair under current conditions.
The J&P Commission commented that both the established voter registration process and the requirements for the presidential and parliamentary elections are "cumbersome" and will make it difficult for citizens in many areas of the country to take part.
"There has been inadequate preparation and voter education on the electoral process," the Commission declared in a statement released on 16 February.
It added that the confusion is compounded by the presidential and parliamentary elections being held simultaneously for the first time.
Millions of Zimbabweans who have fled to neighbouring states or who have gone overseas to escape their country's economic meltdown should be allowed to vote because they still contribute significantly to Zimbabwe, the Commission said.
The Catholic Justice and Peace Commission urged government authorities to adhere to the Southern African Development Community's Principles and Guidelines Governing the Holding of Democratic Elections "in letter and in spirit."
"We would like to remind the relevant authorities and citizens that elections are a process and not a once-off event," it said.
The justice and peace commission said that, seven weeks before the elections, citizens still did not have information such as which candidates would be running and which parties would field candidates.
"We strongly recommend that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission be dissolved with immediate effect and a new one be appointed in terms of the new law", the Commission concluded.
