HARARE \u2013 A recently retired senior police officer has launched a scathing attack on the Mnangagwa administration, condemning Saturday’s donation of welfare goods to Mozambique while Zimbabweans endure severe hardships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tongai Fambi, who retired last month as Assistant Police Inspector and Officer-In-Charge of Rujeko Police Station, issued a blistering statement this week. He lambasted the government for donating “tonnes of food aid” and building materials to Mozambique, allegedly affected by Cyclone Chido, while Zimbabwe’s own citizens face starvation, crippled healthcare, and crumbling infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fambi described the donation as a deceptive “fiction” designed to mislead the international community about the government’s priorities and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Self-sustainance by African Society to assist each other\u2026 is a very big achievement,” Fambi acknowledged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“However this should be done in bonafide not in malafide.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His core accusation was stark:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“That Zanu PF can stand on the international stage to fool the world that it is donating to Mozambique is itself a mockery to the people of Zimbabwe.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You can fool Mozambique, you can fool Africa and the world\u2026 But, as Zimbabweans, we refuse to give in to such fiction,” Fambi declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The retired officer issued a direct challenge to the ruling party, demanding accountability for past actions and present failures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Have they ever, as the ruling party they claim to be, done anything to the families of the parents they killed in 2008 in State sponsored violence?” Fambi questioned, referencing the violent 2008 presidential run-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He called on ZANU PF to prioritise domestic crises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our hospitals which need donations\u2026 poor salaries, bad roads, non-functional water reticulation and sewerage systems\u2026 short-changing of cotton and tobacco farmers.” Fambi highlighted rural suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Rural households are being made to pay taxes, no safe water for the villager\u2026 They have killed the water system in the Cities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accusing the government of posturing while neglecting its citizens, Fambi stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Claiming to be the Savior in Africa, when they are stealing from Cotton and Tobacco farmers? They think we do not have eyes to see.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He concluded forcefully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Zanu. Spare us this Drama. We are suffering.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fambi signed the statement in his capacity as President of the National People\u2019s Democrats (NPD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government has yet to publicly respond to his specific allegations regarding the Mozambique donation or the domestic issues raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
