That is the title of an article on AFP.
As an Archbishop and before, as a Parish Priest, Pius Ncube was one of the most relentless voices denouncing Mugabe's policies of state-sponsored violence and torture--including the Gukurahundi massacre of the 1980s during which 20,000 persons were mowed down by Mugabe's forces.
Several months ago, he called for a humanitarian invasion of Zimbabwe to liberate its dying people from Mugabe.
In June he presided over a memorial service, which we attended, to mark the U.N.'s day honoring victims of torture.
A couple of weeks later, he presided over the launch of a report by Solidarity Peace Trust, of which he is the Chairman, entitled "Destructive Engagement: Violence, Mediation and Politics in Zimbabwe." (Download destructive_engagement_solidarity_peace_trust_july_2007.doc )
A few days after the report's launch, the state-owned newspapers launched their attack on him. The timing was no accident.
