It may be necessary to use methods other than constitutional ones.

"ZAPU deposes Mr. Nkomo as Leader", The Times, 9 July 1962, p. 9.

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.

Martin Meredith, "Our Votes, Our Guns: Robert Mugabe and the Tragedy of Zimbabwe".

We are still exchanging blows with the British government. They are using gay gangsters. Each time I pass through London, the gangster regime of Blair

expresses its dismay'.

What we hate is not the color of their skins but the evil that emanates from them.

Speech in Harlem, New York (September 2000), quoted in Michael Radu, "State of Disaster", National Review, 27 May 2002
