Pretoria - Video footage of South African police brutality that goes back as far as the apartheid era is being used by Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe to incite his youth brigade, the Green Bombers.
Information on the man believed to be the "brain" behind the brigade's indoctrination and his "specialised acts" in certain instances has been filtering out of Zimbabwe recently.
The "brain" - also known as Mugabe's secret weapon - is apparently former Brigadier-General Ricky Ruwodo who is also accused of having been involved in the land-grab process.
It is understood that people who do not conform to Zanu-PF rules are "reformed" through Ruwodo's "terror team".
Beeld learned that, apart from the youth brigade undergoing lessons on class and racism, so-called transgressors in the community were taken in for questioning.
'Single-handedly saved the party'
When this happened, a black hood was placed over the head, which disorientated the person. They were questioned and abused if they gave the wrong answer.
It is also understood that Ruwodo often jokes to his cronies that Mugabe has on numerous occasions thanked him for single-handedly saving the ruling party from being overthrown.
According to one source, he "openly says that farm invasions are the first step in a greater campaign".
I guess it will have to fail completely, with millions of needless deaths from starvation. Then the official "looters" (Mugabe's cronies) will be massacred by angry citizens and the farmers can return and start running their old farms again under a better government. Or will they? Would you return?
You gotta wonder if the population control elites actually like it a fellow elite like Nobel Prize winner Mugabe causes millions of Africans to starve to death. This chaos and starvation was so predictable.
Hummm a greater campaign to starvation and terror.
Semmingly the standard Marxist "campaign" strategy is in play.
