Don’t divide the people- Mugabe

President Robert Mugabe today said party leaders should not divide the people because you cannot build a united party when people are divided into camps.

“We cannot build a united party when we divide people into camps of those who belong to so and so and those who belong to so and so. They belong to the party. They do not belong to me. They are not my people. They are members, yes of my party who support me. They are part of the organic entity to which I belong as a leader and all of them to me matter.

“I am saying this because mune chikonye muleadership kuti aa . . . uyu ndewanhingi, aiwa hatingamuvhoteri, uyu haandide, ko kana asingakude haakude. They are members of Zanu-PF…When we are Cdes, we are Cdes at arms, we are fighting together.

“We have one common enemy. The enemy of imperialism, neo-colonialism. That is the main enemy that Africa still has. They want to destroy us, we can see all the machinations that are going on. They get into our system into the African Union and want to influence things there.

“They have established very diabolic international institutions purporting to be people oriented like the ICC and the people who are tried there are only Africans. Let us not allow them to get us into the attack. We have refused to support that thing, the ICC … We should not be used. Never get used.”
