Robert Mugabe Zimbabwe's dictator and butcher of the Mthwakazi people continues to defy international law suffocating and brutalising Zimbabweans of all walks of life. It is disturbing that many Zimbabweans who have fled from Mugabe's regime find themselves fighting against the world's 'isms' where ever they have seeked refuge. Many of the Mthwakazi and Zimbaweans are faced with emotional torture
