By Farai Mamina| Mugabe’s ‘Gukurahundi’ threat is a thrilling epilogue to three decades rule.
It is a self-made recipe for a thrilling epilogue to three decades of the “Jump” and “How high” type of leadership the man has been as Zanu PF boss. It will be interesting to see how he does it this time around given that he wants to repeat the same bloody 1983 gunfire.
Looking at the odds and reminiscing the uniformed Constantine Chiwenga’s sentiments that war veterans were the stockholders rather than stakeholders of the regime, I am suddenly gifted to see an end similar to the biblical Armageddon. You see – the male lion simply cannot kill the lioness that hunts on its behalf. The moment it tries is the moment the lionesses and their grown cubs will gang up and kill the male lion. The equation is going to be that simple. In the greater scheme of things Mugabe cannot hold the gun and shoot. He has to command. But then for one to command, there has to be numbers commanded. Unfortunately those very numbers are the ones he is planning to command against – do you see it working out? I shouldn’t think so.
If perhaps Mugabe is banking on the mobilisation of the few tens of thousands of youths that marched in the 100 thousand youth march against the war veterans, then he is wasting time. Those youths are as good enough cowards as their fellow Lumumba guy now better known for his sex tapes than his videos lambasting Zanu PF – all thanks to Professor musorobhangu’s propaganda. Because of their penchant for skirts, they have no tenacity and pedigree to attend one trigger pulling lesson.
Therefore: Gukurahundi at 92 = Hastly arranged Exile for your all and sundry. This is not a Zanu vs Zapu war anymore henceforth, you cannot wage a war against your lieutenants and expect to win Mr President.
