Zimbabweans have resolved to take the law into their hands on Botswana citizens plying their business here, following the deaths of five cross borders employment seekers, at the hands of Botswana Police recently.
The cross border traders who have since established themselves into a powerful pressure group, with a sole aim to confront the Botswana government through their Zimbabwean office are seeking compensation from the perpetrators, failure of which they threatened with counter attack on Botswana citizens who are either at colleges or doing business as indication of communicating their disgruntlement.
Last month, four Zimbabweans were attacked by Botswana Police and left for dead, which happened as soon as they reached their homes in Tsholotsho and Kezi respectively.
Solomon Ncube 32, Khulekani Moyo 28, Mosh Malaba 41 and Obert Malaba all of Shumbeshabi village were severely attacked by Botswana Police and died soon after their arrival in their respective homes.
The families, who were weeping when ZimEye.com visited them last week, expressed their nastiest bitterness. “We did not expect that from our neighbouring brothers. How can they kill their fellow Africans who are trying to earn a living, and yet they are being schooled here in Zimbabwe,” said Mr Vusimuzi Malaba a father to the late slain brothers.
His sentiments were echoed by those of Salatiel Ncube, whose only son Solomon was also buried in the same district after he was attacked by Botswana Police.
“We are going to attack their sons and daughters who are here, and we will make sure that we hunt them from their college bases and revenge their parents’ cruelty,” he told ZimEye.com before weeping bitterly.
In a recent brutal attack again, another Zimbabwean man died after he was severely beaten by Botswana police for illegally entering their country.
Oscar Kani, 35, of Mkhubazi Village, Sanzukwi area in Mangwe District, arrived home unconscious on Monday afternoon after he was collected by relatives from a hospital in the neighbouring country.
He died on last Wednesday at Brunapeg Hospital in Mangwe where he was admitted. Kani’s uncle, Kenneth Ncube, who is the senior village head in the area, said his nephew could hardly speak or move when he arrived home.
“I received a phone call from a relative in Botswana telling me that Oscar was critically ill as he was thoroughly beaten up by the police.
“I sent my son to collect him from a hospital where he had been admitted in Botswana. My son later called and asked for a car to ferry my nephew as he could not walk,’’ said Ncube.
He said Kani had blisters all over his body, a swollen stomach and knees as well as scars on his head. Ncube said Kani was diagnosed with subdural haemorrhage caused by the head injuries.
He said his nephew was rushed to Brunapeg Hospital where he later died from the injuries. Ncube said relatives in Botswana informed him that his nephew was picked up from his workplace by Botswana police who accused him of being an illegal immigrant.
“My brother in Botswana told me that my nephew was arrested and a few days later they heard that he had been admitted at a hospital in Francistown,” said Ncube.
He said Kani left for Botswana in 2012 in search of employment. He was buried at his rural home.
The pressure group which is called Cross Border Victims Association is compiling figures of their fellow brothers and sisters who have been brutalised by Botswana Police, and petition their Zimbabwean embassy before taking action. “We are going to seek an explanation from the ambassador before we take action on flashing all the Tswanas who are here,” said Nkululeko Khumalo who is the interim chairperson of the newly established organisation.
Efforts to get comment from Botswana’s Ambassador were fruitless by the time of going to press, as he was busy with the President’s birthday function.

If “not fighting” is professional, then just sit back, relax and read more news of Bots police and citizens killing more poor Zimbabweans and getting away with it.

Its the loosers who have the guts to shed blood. Zimbos aren’t cowards at all. You can not revenge the murder on their own soil. You only earn yourself more blood shed.

It is just pain of losing family. They wont kill anyone. You would not talk kundly of Tswanas if they butchered you children too, would you? Let them vent out their pain and anger. They may take the good legal advice of Zimo Tswa.

Motswana2, you have long started killing helpless poor Zims to vent your failure frustration. No properly educated person, gainfully employed family person preoccupies his mind with killing helpless job seekers. Perhaps you are just introducing and tracing your lineage to the angel flung down from heaven like lightning? The one who is scared back into the dark bottomless pit by the blood of my precious Jesus!
And the murderers? Are they also “tolerant of each other?” And when Zims are butchered, do you call it “attacking each other”. See they are creating a curse that will haunt their progeny into dark poverty and deep despair. You do not shed human blood just like that and smile, picking your teeth with bloody nails. Never. You earn a curse for yourself, children and nation.
See, such senseless gibberish! by the way, what language do they speek in gehennah?
You are right. I learnt of devilish blood in Tswanas long back and have never set foot in Botswana. Can’t you smell demons in Motswana’s breath? its no use conversing with evil.
u start the fight we shall slaughter all of u zimbabweans in our land Botswana, why do u alwys like fighting, this can be amicably solved not thru retaliating.

How many Zim did batswana kill in Zim. more than 100 innocent people have been killed so far in botswana by the Zimbabweans. I don’t tolerate killings of any kind. We have very good Zimbabweans here in botswana, but thr is few who are really dangerous.
That’s my opinion
Strokes botswan
No Zimbos will listen to this rubbish. In fact, I know the Zim poilce could soon arrest those speaking of such nonsense. As for police brutality in Bots trust me if that family comes this side and hires a lwayer that can prove what they are saying to be true they could walk away with millions of pula in a law suit. Threatening to kill Batswana is a waste of time. nobody is going to partake in their nonsensical trash. would you accept a few dollars to kill someone and end up in trouble for it? I am a Zimbotswa mix and I know I am safe in both countries as long as i dont do crime. The two nations dont listen when their fools try to incite violence.
Zimbabwean should try and kill Batswana living in Zimbabwe….we will start sending their countryman piece by piece and we will start in the bus rank..mxm…do u rilly think violence is the answer
Stay in your country then! What the hell do you want in Botswana? Be sensical there are more decent and honest zimbabwean living in botswana some married here! go back to the stone age
THIS FAMILY IS NOW INSANE.HOW CAN THEY THREATEN VIOLENCE TO BOTSWANA CITIZENS. I WAS FEELING SYMPATHY ON THEIR LOSS UNTIL I LEARNT THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO KILL BOTSWANA CITIZENS. TO THIS END I EVEN URGE THE ZIMBABWEAN POLICE TO ARREST THEM.THEY ARE BLOODY MAD.

big up man zimboz are cowards to the ass, some of these things need revenge coz the y actually know that what they are doing is wrong. let us attack them, lookm ther is xenophobia in s.a now botswana joined and we are still considering to find a win stuation, no lets go to war against these heartless people. one thing is that these countries are benefiting a lot from the zimbabwean situation so there is no way they can stop us from going there never.
Have you ever had your only son murdered?This gentlemanish diplomatic way is the reason why MDC has no teeth,the reason why Zimbabweans are opressed because they think they have too much education but are in actual fact stupid cowards.
Chasing out all the Tswanas in Zimbabwe is not the solution to this issue as we would be the ones to loose big time in the end. Consider this,we have thousands of Zimbos in Botswana (and very small number of them here),and the Tswanas will just retaliate further by deporting them and stopping the very same Cross Border Traders to go and buy their wares from there. I think the best thing is to engage the Botswana authorities here and those in Gabs(we also have an Embassy there)so that a win win situation can be found and such brutalities on innocent Zimbos can be stopped!
