I thank you for defying him. You have gone against the grain of some of Zimbabwe's enemies.

Our present state of mind is that you are now enemies, because you really behaved as enemies of Zimbabwe, that we are really full of anger and make our entire communities angry, and this is why the war veterans now are seizing land.

These are war veterans who fought for their country, and the army also has war veterans in it,

Was it not enough punishment and suffering in history that we were uprooted and made helpless slaves not only in new colonial outposts but also domestically.

Our votes must go together with our guns. After all, any vote we shall have, shall have been the product of the gun. The gun which produces the vote should remain its security officer - its guarantor. The people's votes and the people's guns are always inseparable twins.

We don't mind having sanctions banning us from Europe. We are not Europeans.
