Josephat describes the intimidation tactics being used by ZANU-PF in the rural areas; they say either vote for ZANU-PF and have peace, or MDC and go back to war. Then we hear from 2 women who are caught in the middle of the violence in South Africa: Ouma, a South African who is horrified by what is taking place, and Elizabeth, a young Zimbabwean, who says all her ‘foreign’ neighbours have already fled the country while she herself can only wait in terror for what might happen to her family.

Appeals by different individuals aimed at the members of Zimbabwe’s Defence Forces - specifically those who are guilty of perpetrating the increasingly horrific acts of violence, intimidation and torture against the ordinary people of Zimbabwe. This serves to remind them of their mandate to protect and serve the people and not ZANU-PF, a duty that so many of them seem to have forgotten.

Lookout talks about the xenophobic violence in South Africa, he believes those who are behind orchestrating the violence are paying people to attack foreigners, and the police are not doing enough to stop the violence.

London based solicitor, Chengetai Mupara tells Tichaona how his mother and brother were on the receiving end of a vicious attack instigated by a close family relative. The relative is said to have lost her council seat during the March 29th harmonised elections where she stood on a Zanu-PF ticket.
Grace Mvududu was seeking re-election as a Zanu PF candidate as the Councillor in Gombakomba near Mutare. The woman, who is a first cousin to Chengetai Mupara and his family, was angered when she lost to an MDC candidate, and allegedly instigated the attack on Mupara’s mother and brother by sending out a militia group to ‘teach them a lesson’ because she believed their support for the MDC contributed to her downfall.

This is the programme that gives a beginners guide to democracy and the democratic process and this week on the fourth programme in the series Mandisa is joined by Professor Stan Mukasa and Dr John Makumbe. The focus is the subversion of the democratic process in Zimbabwe and how the government is now responsible for the general public’s negative perceptions of what true democracy is. They say that by them staying in power even after the people have voted them out, the ZANU-PF government is violating the democratic process.
