Makone says some people believe they have title deeds to Zimbabwe

Co-Minister of Home Affairs Theresa Makone said some people believe they have title deeds to Zimbabwe and its wealth and are harassing those who stand in their way.  She said this in a Facebook chat with SW Radio journalist Tichaona Sibanda who asked her why police were targeting his former workmate Jestina Mukoko who now heads the Zimbabwe Peace Project.Mukoko was hauled before the police last week for allegedly running an unregistered organisation. She was accused of banditry and terrorism in connection with an alleged plot to train armed insurgents in Botswana just before the formation of the inclusive government. Makone said unless regional and international powers stopped playing games, there would be bloodbath in Zimbabwe. “I said it before and I will say it again. Unless the regional and international powers that be stop playing games, this time we are in for a blood bath. Some people believe they have the title deeds to Zimbabwe and its wealth. Period,” she warned.
