Paradzai Zimondi highlighted in Zimbabwe’s Worst Eleven
An outrageous and extremely provocative campaign that shines a spotlight on the Zanu PF clique who are looting Zimbabwe’s national assets has been launched in Johannesburg. The campaign titled “Red Card ZIMafia” has a football theme in line with the World Cup sporting event currently taking place in South Africa.
Paradzai Zimondi is featured in the team lineup as the left back – a defensive position in the game of football. This relates to his current role as head of Zimbabwe’s Prison service where his complete lack of humanity, not to mention management skills, saw many prisoners starve to death making every jail sentence a death sentence. At the same time as an inner member of the Joint Operations Command (JOC) he has enriched himself beyond measure.
Here is his complete CV from the ZIMafia website:
Number: 3
Position: Left Back – Major General (Ret.) – Head of the Zimbabwe Prison Service
Career Highlights:
- Sent his officers to help forced army and police voting for Mugabe in polls
- Forces prison personnel to support Mugabe
- Uses slave labour from the prisons on his stolen farms
- Prisons budgets ‘insufficient’ to clothe or feed prisoners
- Lack of prison clothing mean some inmates go naked
- Lets prisoners starve to death or die of illness
- Buries deceased prisoners in unmarked graves
- Prison conditions among the worst in Africa, no medics, no cleaning
- Encourages cruelty and abuses by officers e.g. cold water hosing of prisoners during winter nights
- Ignores human rights groups reports on prison conditions
The team coach is Robert Mugabe and the rest of the team comprise: Patrick Chinamasa, Obert Mpofu, Emmerson Mnangagwa, Gideon Gono, Perence Shiri, Constantine Chiwenga, Johannes Tomana, Happyton Bonyongwe, Augustine Chihuri and Phillip Sibanda.
Some names may appear unfamiliar but they are all members of the JOC and have played an active part in robbing Zimbabweans of their freedom and rights. They have also bankrupted Zimbabwe, leaving a legacy of debt that will take generations to repay, while amassing large personal fortunes.
The campaign takes the form of a soccer team, Zimbabwe’s Worst Eleven, who are traveling around Johannesburg in the “Bling Bus” which is embellished with bars of gold and diamonds. The “Team” perform street theatre attracting crowds wherever they go and are handing out leaflets, t-shirts and other campaign material.
