Harare(ZimEye)-The European Union has consoled the Magura family and the MDC-T party following the brutal murder of Cephas Magura, the MDC-T ward 1 Mudzi North chairperson by ZANU (PF) supporters and urged the judiciary to quickly try the murderers.
The EU cites political violence as its justification for the imposition of sanctions on ZANU(PF) officials in 2002.
“Delegation presents its condolences to the family of the deceased and strongly condemns these acts and any complacency with political violence and intimidation as a political tool.
“It is encouraging to note the condemnation for these criminal acts that came from across the political spectrum. The EU delegation looks forward to urgent action by the police authorities and the Attorney General’s office to bring the alleged perpetrators and their instigators to justice, in order to give a clear and unequivocal message that political violence is totally unacceptable in Zimbabwe”,EU said in a statement Tuesday.
Magura was murdered in the presence of the police who were providing security to the rally which was authorised, making them liable for the brutal murder.
According to eye witnesses a ZANU PF mob attacked MDC-T activists at a rally that had been sanctioned by the police a week earlier.
ZANU PF had not been cleared to gather for any event, yet they gathered near the venue and started chanting slogans before approaching the MDC-T group.
Magura was buried in Mudzi on Sunday 3 June.
ZANU(PF) continues to perpetrate violence on MDC supporters despite several calls by its leader President Robert Mugabe denouncing violence.(ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

ZIMBABWE CALLS FOR JUSTICE FOR THE MURDER OF ‘SMILEY CULTURE’ BY EURO DEVILS!!!
Time will run out for these cock sure over confident zanu muppets. The day of your punishment by peace loving democratic Zimbabweans will surely come.
@ Gary
The International Criminal Court was adopted on 17 July 1998 and gained its Authority in 2002. Long after Ian Smith Regime had gone. hence the reason why why there was no real International justice during the colonial period. Obviously our zimbabwean Chief Justices in Harare can now bring about an indictment NOW at the ICC against the Smith Regime if they so wish. I commission you to Get 5000 signatures and direct the Petition to our Chief Justices in Harare. I promise you, they will Indict the Smith Regime through the ICC.
Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.
Proverbs 28:5
God created a man in his own image, lets fight for the Glory of God & set all evil things aside. God help us…..save us & give us the spirit of LOVE!!!!
Mungwarire kuuraiswa nema politicians from the political divide.Munofira mahara vehama.Leave the politicians alone.
Instead of deploring the shameful act of Zanu PF supporters murdering a peaceful and innocent 67-year-old MDC activist, some are busy condemning the EU for calling for justice? I guess we shouldn’t even talk about the 200 plus who died in 2008 then? When is it enough murder to call for justice?
Zanu PF and its goblin gushungo president have a lot to answer for to the people of Zimbabwe, the dossier is getting thicker by the day. Ichiwo chiBla Mgodoyi Miki chinongowawata sebveni raona mango, teverwe nekakutu kake Chando kanongovhura karomo kachitevedzera hapana zvakanofunga kega… chiparty chenyu can only win elections through murder and violence, there is no way that HIV infested party can ever win a fair election! WHEN we adopt that new constitution then you will be totally screwed because it leaves little room for scumbags to manipulate the people’s will…

@Tsano. I said EI should call for justice whenever someone dies due to political violence, whether that person is MDC, ZANU PF, Mavambo or ZAPU. Even in the Middle East it should add its voice against gross violation of human rights. I hope the EU is making a sincere call here. Pasi nekuurayana!!!
Mukhooshooh unedova iwe Mutengesi.
Chando pamhata pamai vako. Traitor? What do u mean by that. Everyone who disagrees with ZANU becomes a traitor i guess. When are u going to accept that hatichadi ZANU? Munotimanikidzirei? Hatichaida ZANU, full stop. Zvemadisinyongoro povo yaramba; ndati zvemadhisinyongoro povo yaramba.
Iwe Mavambo sei EU yako isingacommente kana vanhu vauraiwa kuMiddle East. Nxaaa mhani mahypocryt
munongourayana as if u get a penny kana bob natsvangson vaakudya mari. hamuna brain mese wether MDC or ZANU. What are u killing each other for? Munounza ngozi mumisha menyu , what for ? honestly this level of stupidity buffles me. I also feel sorry for all who think kutonga nyika means kuuraya anyone who has different views from yours. So sorry!!
No-one is worth killing or dying for. Hey people, don’t be used! The EU is very right if it calls for justice whenever people die due to political violence.
The EU must stop sending their servants to provoke peace loving Zimbabweans. Magura is a known ex U.A.N.C A activist during the struggle whose actions led to hundreds of civilians loosing their lives through a brutal attack by the Rhodesian forces. He was an unrepentant evil who should have been assisting the youths through preaching peace and reconciliation. The irony of it is that you voluntarily mess around with your life at the expense of someone who is periodically changing wives as part of an mdc leader’s package while you are now deep down in earth. Akazorwa butter!
xxxxxx yyyyyyyy No no no no no. It is terrible to rejoice over a fellow zimbabwean’s death. NO. You are not different from the Nato murderers who ignore the daily deaths of those who refuse to accept their dominance. The imperialists are good at using whatever extremists to eliminate who they hate at that particular time and then change to kill the former ally at another time. So do not joy over Magura’s death.He was a Zimbabwean murdered by fellow Zimbabweans. Pathetic. NO NO NO.
You can see stupidity from the smile of the deceased MDC-T idiot. Good riddance.
These hypocrites are just unbelievably hypocritical. They stage sympathy for a single life whilst their drones are killing dozens of children. I do not condone murder neither do I, hypocricy. The EU should go to hell and give Satan a b.j. Who are they to tell us of this when they are war criminals and criminals against humanity. Be sure, not that I support, that the murderer will not be punished just as these criminals (EU and USA) are ‘immune’ to international law. Go to hell EU and your puppets MDC
Will there ever be justice in Zimbabwe or we shall continue contributing our skills and knowledge to other nations
Munofira mahara vakuru venyu vachidya vachiguta murunyararo,varume nevakadzi vakuru kuswero shandiswa nomunhu asina chaanounza muupenyu hwako…….shame maningi !!
You people I do not know what is your problem. You are fighting on the ground us we are working together without any problem. By the end of the month we earn our salaries imwi munowaneyi? Chenyu kungoti hee MDC yakadai Hee Zanu pf yakazodai. Isu tirikudya tichiguta nevana vedu, venyu vachichoorwa nehuku magaro. Wake up!
Its high time blacks mst stop killing each other,plz why do u kill yr brother or sister,remember we one family
sure enough we must condone barbaric acts and please leave them to animals. Listen we, human beings, are created in the image and likeness of The God Family with a potential to be immotal sons of God. God does not hate ,He loves ,does not take ,He gives, So woe unto you who want to follow Lucifer’s way for you are trying to equate yourself to beings that were created differently from you.
How can the death of one person make such big news? Yesterday it was the Americans shouting about the death of this traitor,today its the EU and they go on to use the isolated incident as a justification for the continuation of sanction, what trash,how many people have died before him.
The murder of 60 year old Magura is indeed deplorable and perpetrators of violence especially those who have developed a culture of murdering other Zimbabweans because they are armed themselves must not only be condemned but must be forever removed from society and be placed in jail by themselves so that they each other if they want or can. BUT for a continental organization like the EU to come in for one person while there is talk of 20000 people massacred in the same country and they said and still say nothing to me it just shows that Magura`s murder is now being used by other forces for other interests. It is good for MDC-T since both the U.S. and EU have come up. It was indeed clear evidence of Zanupf`s campaign of violence, traditional political intolerance and its deep rooted dictatorial tendencies. I am not sure though that the reactions of the US and the EU can indeed unite Zimbabweans.
Its clear that the ‘Smith Generation still have killing instincts within them & plz if u are younger than 30 stay out of it coz w dn nid this behavior in our next generation. Smith klld blcks, why kill blcks? Cmon lets unite, we re BROTHERS.
Time to stop this kind of madness.we need to unite&rise against these monkeys

This childish political ploy will only serve to create a bigger wedge between the european devils and Africans.
Was there a call for justice for the Zim policeman who was brutally killed by murderous MDC mob? NO!
Was there a call for justice for Africans who have been harmed and killed by evil european sanctions? NO!
Only Africans who are asleep will foolishly think that the interfering european devils give a damn about the well being of Africans.
ian smith and his gang of criminals mass murdered African children; yet the european devils have been silent.
However, Africans will not forget that the criminal euro invaders are deeply indebted to Africans.
And in time, compensation of ALL KINDS WILL BE PAID for europeans crimes against Africans!
