Zvichapera.... My favorite song from Gandanga. Reminds me of that morning in October 2004 before Tsvangirai Treason Trial. The previous night 9 of us had clandestinely been spray-painting porsh suburbs of Harare. Unfortunately the group that had gone to Borrowdale was intercepted by armed police. We heard the gun shots & knew something was wrong. That night a truckload of riot police came to UZ looking for me & others. I survived by scaling up the roof of New Hall. I decided to walk to town and escape. I think I was with Gladys Hlatshwayo who I believe had been assaulted. Along the way, we got news that Philani Zamchiya had been abducted & tried to escape by jumping off a moving truck. He had been taken to a hospital in the Avenues area. I remember seeing his lifeless body as they were moving him from an ambulance. I didn't think he wld survive. The next task was to find out what had happened to the guys who had gone to Borrowdale, at the same time had to organize the youths who were supposed to go to the treason trial. The whole CBD was teeming with riot police. Harvest House was barricaded. I was later picked by Dennis Murira. He was with Ndira and Dyke if I remember well. They were playing Mukanya and all I needed was a short nap. Fortunately the holy waters and Solomon's leaves were also available to sooth my soul that early in the morning.... Memories.

If it was Uncle Bob in there, he wld have come back with his pride intact and a plane load of sanctions. Trump wld have needed an Oxford dictionary... Bla Ramaphosa understood that he needed to save his country even if it came with personal humiliation... The choice leaders make

Chitepo's driver who is being spoken of here is Sadat Kafumazuva whose real name is Benson Nicodemus Kadzinga. He is alive I believe. The old man is account is also corroborated in some aspects by Chemist Ncube and the details he is narating tally with what is contained in the Report of the Special Commission on the Assassination of Herbert Whiltshire Chitepo, published in Lusaka in March 1976 by the government of Zambia. . Chitepo was killed by Robson Manyika, Solomon Mujuru,Tongogara, Meya Urimbo, Joseph Chimurenga, Patrick Mupunzarima et al.

Remember when Tekere & crew killed a white farmer just after independence? This guy was part of the detail. He was also in 5th Brigade. When you listen to these guys that's when you understand why Zimbabwe is in the pits. These komredzi were child soldiers. Imagine going to war at 14, you spend 9 years in the bush then you come back and have to lead with zero cooling down period & rehabilitation.

Listen to me Cde Bhila. ZANU PF will never respect you because you guys allowed pple who didn't understand the ethos of the struggle to hijack it in 1977. The pple who had the ideological apparatus of the struggle were pushed out by Tongogara, Rex, Mugabe, Tekere, Mnangagwa et al. In a different Zimbabwe, our liberation fighters would have been treated as capital not a liability but you guys agreed to be used to polarize the same masses you once relied on. Today, the masses have no voice. You have also lost your voice. The only pple with a voice are the thieves and hangers on. In a different Zimbabwe there should have been Veterans' Hospitals, Veterans Affirmative programs, Veterans pensions etc. It's not possible for you today to have a bite in a sea of poverty. We never hated komredzi, but you allowed yourselves to be tools that abused our people. All is not lost though. You can help us right the wrongs that you helped author. First, we start with resisting the attempts by Munangagwa to extend his time in office illegally. Second, we rebuild from the ruins together this time as pple of mutual respect and lastly we commit to memorialize the sacrifice of those who left and bear it as an unquantifiable investment into the country. We can fix Zimbabwe and restore the relationship between the people and their liberators. For now, there is no liberation without freedom!
