The same president known for promoting his cartel by raising fuel prices in January 2020, due to his ties to Zuva fuel retailer, is now threatening to bar citizens from public places and services. This is the same president who has a 10% stake in a company trying to displace the Chilonga people from their ancestral lands. His party, Zanu PF, has no public services worth holding the public hostage for. This article argues that Zanu PF is actively disinterested in the welfare of its citizens. Where there is no profit, they turn a blind eye and neglect responsibilities to others, like the World Food Program.

The forced vaccinations raise concerns about their lack of democratic appreciation. The government cannot force mass vaccinations or deprive citizens of access to basic health or education services. These are fundamental constitutional rights that Zanu PF threatened to violate. A government led by a man who oversaw ethnic cleansing, had citizens shot during post-2018 election protests, and showed heavy-handedness in human rights violations suddenly cares about its citizens? This seems unlikely. The military’s tactics against citizens show that Mnangagwa acts to crush any perceived threats to his power and wealth.

The question now is, how do coerced vaccinations benefit Mnangagwa? Ensuring herd immunity would mean the electoral commission might suspend by-elections, which the opposition is likely to win. This could extend to the 2023 elections, where the increasingly politically aware population might vote for the opposition. So, why would Zanu PF initiate processes that could lead to its loss of power? The answer is profit. The urgency and threats to violate fundamental rights like access to education and health are enough evidence.

This shows Zanu PF’s active disinterest in the welfare of the people. They are forcing people to take a vaccine that has already claimed one casualty in Gutu. The fact that Zanu PF has not stopped using this vaccine supports the claim that they are only interested in profit. Zanu PF gains from procuring rushed Chinese vaccines, regardless of the risks. While countries like Denmark, Iceland, and the Netherlands have halted certain vaccinations over complications like clotting, Zanu PF continues with unsafe vaccines.

In addition to money from endorsing unsafe vaccines, Zanu PF gets protection against United Nations sanctions through China’s veto in the security council. This allows them to continue violating human rights and property without consequences.

In conclusion, Zanu PF is seeking to increase its economic gain while already violating human rights. Fundamental rights like access to healthcare and education are being trampled upon due to negligence and brain drain in the workforce. Only Zanu PF would gain from endorsing unsafe vaccines, with added protection in the United Nations Security Council. Zimbabweans would be treated as guinea pigs.
