In preparation for a rerun as well as neutralizing, the populace Zanu PF is already playing a psychological game.

Again, recently war veterans’ leader Jabulani Sibanda was on television saying that they had discovered that some whites were going back into farms and reclaiming them after saying that the MDC had won the elections.

“We are not going to sit around and watch as they do so. We will act accordingly and this is an open statement to them that they should stop whatever they are doing,” said Sibanda with much anger in his tone.

Just a day after he came out on television saying this statement war veterans in Masvingo made it public that they were going to occupy any farm that belonged to a white man paving way for new farm invasions. As the news came out on television it was said that they had already occupied a farm that belonged to a white farmer.

This all points to psychological games being played by the ruling party so that people become scared. They have been promising terror if the MDC gets into power and by taking farms belonging to whites in Masvingo they have already started instilling fear in the people. Zimbabweans by nature are not a violent people and the last thing they want to hear is of war hence the ruling party always plays mind games with them.

As Sibanda said in his speech on television, “Our people have been forced to make decisions they do not want to make because of the hardships they are facing from the sanctions we are faced with. It is something that we won’t take lightly,” he said.

This then goes to say that Zanu PF is not accepting defeat and are saying that the decision made by Zimbabweans was not because they wanted to but because they were forced by circumstances. They indeed have taken the role of thinking for every Zimbabwean and deciding what is good or bad for them.

Though the ruling party acknowledges the impact the targeted sanctions have had on the economy they are ignorant of the corruption that is rampant within them. Corruption that if it was controlled and stopped, Zimbabwe has as much resources as to have a vibrant economy.
