By Wilbert Mukori| “Rinemanyanga hariputirwi!” (Evil can never be hidden forever, it will always come out!) so goes the Shona saying.
There is no doubt that Robert Gabriel Mugabe and his Zanu PF regime have done a lot of evil things during the last 37 years and counting of their corrupt reign of terror. Robert Mugabe, he has led from the front on this, has shamelessly falsified or denied of facts and glossing over those he could not deny for the single purpose of portraying his evil dictatorship as God’s greatest gift to the people of Zimbabwe.
Nick Mangwana, Zanu PF’s representative in the UK and Europe, is a die-hard Zanu PF
apologist who has learned the art of denying and falsifying historic facts at the grandmaster
Mugabe’s feet and learnt it well. But there is only so much even a seasoned apologist like Nick can rebuff. In a recent Conflict Zone interview, the presenter, Tim Sebastian bombarded Nick with the historic facts of Zanu PF’s ruinous reign of terror the Zanu PF apologist melted like bee wax in the midday African sun.
The truth historic facts of Zanu PF past in coming out bit by bit and soon the trickle will turn into a flood. No one, not Mugabe himself much less his acolytes, apologists and propaganda specialists can stop the flood or deny the truth. Tim Sebastian had done his research and was spoilt for choice of what historic bombs to lobby at the Zanu PF apologist seating before him! The two subjects Nick tried to deny was that Zanu PF destroyed the Zimbabwe economy and that the replacement of Mugabe with Mnangagwa has changed nothing.
In his 37 years in power Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs have completely destroyed the country’s economy. 90% of our people are out of work and many have never held a formal job for 20 or more. Zimbabwe is now the poorest nation in Africa and 72.3% of the population live on US$1.00 or less a day. Basic services like clean running water have all but collapsed.
Meanwhile Mugabe and the few ruling elite have lived in unparalleled luxuries and have
amassed wealth that even mega Movie Star will not match. Mugabe’s has 15 large farms,
business interests all over the world and his Blue Roof mansion is valued at US$ 2 billion.
The Mugabe regime has murdered over 30 000 innocent Zimbabweans to establish and retain the de facto one-party, Zanu PF, dictatorship. The coup last month was about removing one dictator, Mugabe, to replace him with another, Mnangagwa; the dictatorship itself has remained untouched, if not reinvigorated.
Mnangagwa was not only Mugabe’s right hand man all these last 37 years but his chief enforcer.
It is Joint Operation Command (JOC); a Junta, comprising the top brass in the Army, CIO, Police and Prison Services, a select few from party and government and headed by Robert Mugabe and deputized by none other than Mnangagwa; that has ruled Zimbabwe with an iron fist all these years. It was JOC that has masterminded and executed all corruption, vote rigging, political murders and all the other mischiefs and treasonous acts by the dictatorship.
The coup was a precipitous act by the Junta to stop Mugabe handing over the presidency to his wife Grace instead of passing it to Mnangagwa, a JOC member. Although Mnangagwa was out of the country, running for his life, he has himself admitted that he had “remained in touch with the coup plotters throughout”.
The coup was code named “Operation Restore Legacy”, said General Chiwenga, the coup
ringleader. The only legacy the coup has restored is the supremacy of JOC. It came as no
surprise, that many of the Junta members are today ministers, special advisors, deputy
ministers, etc. in President Mnangagwa’s new administration. No doubt General Chiwenga and General Phillip Valerio Sibanda will be appointed to fill the two VP positions after the Zanu PF congress this coming weekend.
The key Zanu PF dictatorship players in will finally move out of the shadows of the shadowy JOC into the full limelight of cabinet and thus restoring thugs’ secretive brotherhood bond, the legacy Chiwenga was talking about, that JOC members will rule Zimbabwe forever.
Of course, Tim Sebastian was right to call Zanu PF a party of “thugs” and Zimbabweans
“deserve better”.
Mugabe lost the March 2008 vote to Morgan Tsvangirai who polled 73%, by Mugabe’s own
inadvertent admission. After six weeks of recounting, ordered by Mugabe himself, ZEC had
reduce this to 47% to force the run-off. The Junta had contrived to use wanton violence to force the people to vote for Mugabe.
“What was accomplished by the bullet cannot be undone by the ballot!” Robert Mugabe had
thundered to spar his thugs on to beat, rape and even murder innocent Zimbabweans.
And yet we still have apologists like Nick Mangwana, stoically insisting that Zimbabweans “voted for Zanu PF and deserved Zanu PF”. The poor idiot still thinks that his stubborn denial of the historic facts can, somehow, turn rigged elections into free, fair and credible elections, thugs into democrats, etc.
President Mnangagwa is a thug, he owes his elevated position to his fellow Zanu PF thugs and they are in his government for no other reason other than to claim their own share of the spoils of power. Zanu PF’s past-history of corruption, vote rigging and tyranny and his own part in it are all coming out in the open and there is nothing anyone can do to stop or deny these facts. The Zanu PF thugs and the many evil things Zanu PF has committed are all coming out, a milestone round Mnangagwa’s neck that will drag him and his presidency into the abyss.
Zimbabwe is due to hold parliamentary and presidential elections next year. The pressure is
mounting to make sure the elections are free, fair and credible. If the elections are indeed free and fair, they will be the country’s first ever. Zimbabweans would want to boot out Zanu PF and to quickly implement the democratic reforms to another dictatorship rising from the ashes of this Zanu PF dictatorship to haunt them.
“Will Zimbabwe ever have justice under Mugabe’s party?” Tim Sebastian asked.
The answer is to that question has to be; NO!
The sooner Zimbabweans rid themselves of this Zanu PF culture of political thugs the sooner the country can start the task of rebuilding the nation from the ruins Mugabe left. – Source: zsdemocrats.blogspot.co.uk

That Mugabe and ZANU PF are a creation of the Shona people. The 1963 ZANU was a far cry from the Mugabe ZANU that caused tribal divisions; imprisoned bo Hamadziripi, Rugare Gumbo in underground dungeons in Mozambique and killed Ndebele people, using Shona speaking people as Gukurahundis, in revenge for the 1800s tribal wars, under the pretext of hunting down 200 so-called dissidents that they themselves created, so they could have the excuse to finish off Joshua Nkomo and establish a one party Shona state!
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TO ME WILBERT?……THE ATROCITY WAS TRIBAL..SO WHAT ?….WHOM DO WANT TO BLIND YOU SHONA PEOPLE?…..STUPID NDEBELES…IT WONT HAPPEN YOUR WAY…”CHIII..CHINONZI DISSIDENT MUNDEVERE”?….
What truth have you ever said?
You are not seeking to redress the Gukurahundi massacre by blame all the Shona and fanning a tribal war!
What are you going to benefit on that truth?…you will be on each others throats again…..you will loose more Wilbert…..here in South Africa the Politicians created the so-called TRC it didn’t South African Blacks…it benefited the Apartheid Regime…same will happen in your Country….Gukurahundi had come and gone with Mr Robert Gabriel Mugabe….similarly what happened at the Era of Mr Cecil John Rhodes……..who killed Mbuya Nehanda,Sekuru Gagubi and the Ndebele King Lobengula?….i believe you know it,but what did you benefit……Wilbert and Patrick you are pushing on cheap Politics……What truth are you both Delving?…..only foolishness…
What are you wittering about? If you have nothing but contempt for the Shonas then why should you care whether they are untied of not?
Patrick has just said we should bury the dead but not the truth. The truth about all the looting and the political murders including the Gukurahundi massacre must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible punished. How is that “wasting energy”? You are just lashing out at anyone who is Shona without even listening to what he or she has said.
You hatred of the Shona has blinded you to reason. You are the kind of moron that can drag a nation into a totally pointless tribal war. The people of Zimbabwe have suffered greatly in the last 37 years, we have a task and a half to drag the nation out of this hell-hole and the last thing they want is to be suck into a foolish tribal conflict.
A bespectacled Shona Gukurahundi thug in a Western suit , defending primitive Shona Gukurahundi thuggism in this Century of civilised nations. He doesnt even have any shame that a global audience is watching and listening!!
Whom are you fighting ?…..you Swina against Swina….we foreigners are trying to dose fire amongst your people…..be united you Shona Tribe to sort out your differences …..you killed more than 50 000 Ndebeles you kept quiet you only heard buzzing your Shona Slogans in the National Radio Station ZBC Radio – 2 “CHIII..CHINONZI DISSIDENT ?….mundevere”…..go in Bhalagwe In Maphisa-Kezi ,Lupane ,Tsholotsho,Nkayi and in the Midalands Province to dig those Graves and see weather you should delve out any solutions….Clamouring about those who died political you are mostly wasting your energy….visit all dearth occurred during the the Settlers come colonize Zimbabwe….i will believe on you Mr Patrick Guramatunhu….solve all dearth please happened in political disturbunces…..
Well if there are people speaking for the unemployed in parliament that is good. I will speak for the unemployed right here. What is your problem?
What are you affraid we might uncover? That the dead were murdered in cold blood and did not die of natural cause as falsified in their death certificate? We suspect foul play and it is in our interest that we establish the truth especially when those suspected of the murder are still scottfree and worse still continue to hold positions of trust and authority. If they abused their position before what is there to stop them abusing it again?
Beside, the task of digging the old graves to investigate the cause of the suspected murder can be carried out by a handful of people the task of economic recovery can be done by the rest of the 14 million. It is nonsense to even suggest that the absence of 5 people will even be noticed!
people who pretend to be tribalists are sent by Gukurahundists to disturb the democratic Zimbabweans who are genuinely fighting the heinous ZanuPF evil serpent. We must ignore them and focus on the evil monster itself.
ZANU PF is a Shona problem, not a Mthwakazi problem. Its you people who voted for them in 1980. Instead of helping to democratise the country, you worked with them to crush “Mazindevere” and PF ZAPU, so you could establish a one party state – now you are busy mourning daily.
We have a score to settle with the Gukurahundi ZANU PF Shonas – especially these andinzwi chindeere types.
They got a hard-on when power was transferred from the Rhodesians to Mugabe, and yet we had lived well with them under white rule – some are showing even worse hard-ons with Mnangwa – tails are once again up; as we get lectured about that idiocy of dzokerayi – this is a Shona country!!
That Shona arrogance must be sorted out in the context of street justice – in the villages. Burn down Shona houses in Matebeleland.
So, no retreat and no surrender!!
The truth must always be told. On that score, I shall never flinch!!!
this not the time to go dig old graves…lets be united by pushing the Country’s economic recovery….if dig old graves we will fully go back what the British Colonisers did on Zimbabweans…..lets bury the hatchets Mr Patrick Guramatunhu
I would welcome that. Sick and tired of Shona Gukurahundi tribalists. I cant help myself; I simply hate Shona people. Its time for street action!!
he must not be shouting on the internet. let him go engage the people that do that. The last I checked that happens in parliament not on this forum. He is not speaking for anybody but himself. People in zimbabwe are doing more than him and can speak for themselves
The people of Zimbabwe are fighting to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and you are doing you best to start a tribal war to gratify you lust for shedding blood!
Wilbert is speaking for 90% who are unemployed and many of them have never held a formal job. He is demanding that every Zimbabwean must have their freedoms and basic human rights including the right to free, fair and credible elections and the right to life. You can call that “evil wishful thoughts for Zimbabwe” but only a fool would agree with you.
You and your fellow apologists like Nick here have made a career and paid fortunes for defending the corrupt, vote rigging and murderous Zanu PF dictatorship and attacking any and all who dare criticize the regime. The regime is on its last legs and you lot will be asked to repeat all this nonsense you have been saying especially the likes of Nick Mangwana his face is well known to the nation. As for you Sarah, you can hide in the space of www but even then do not be too sure you are a needle in a hay stake!
Tim is asking Nick to comment on historic facts and Nick is making a complete ass of himself by denying or belittling the facts. Of course Zanu PF is a party of thugs and Tim is point that out as a matter of fact. How is that being rude?
Mukanya Thomas Mapfumo ended up telling Nick Mangwana “Pfetseke!” (Shut up!) on VOA. Even if his own relatives were murdered by the regime during Gukuhundi as he is claiming that does not give him the right to dismiss the mass murders as “a mistake”! We all know this was a calculated move to establish and retain the de facto one-party state that has ruled and ruined this country.
People like Nick are the curse of any nation, they will sell-out on other people’s rights even the right to life if they are offered thirty pieces of silver. Nick and his type have played a major role in sprucing Mugabe and Zanu PF ‘s image at the public expense. Nick must be asked to explain himself to the nation for such as this outrageous defence of the murder most foul!
A regime that murders over 30 000 innocent civilians for selfish political advantage is a regime of thugs, period!
ukuphapha iShona … ukuphapha!! the guy looks like he is going to launch himself up from the chair….
chuma Shona …. it’s only an interview for crying out loud! now he is colliding harphazardly on his words and thoughts like the fool he is. bit there again, imagine iShona who has nothing to offer except drama and empty blaster like he, zanu-pf, mnangagwa and mugabe have been doing for the past 37 years….
aliphiwanga shame maShona … kulabanikazi okuyizinto lokhu!!!!
This journalist is not interviewing Mr Nick Mangwana he is interrogating …..he is trying to push Mr Mangwana into a corner…..this Journalist is very rude……………
Well said Wilbert
Go on keep fanning the tribal fire you will get what you want. It is a great pity that such fires do not just burn those who started them but many, many innocent people too!
The evil of 90% out of work, 72.3% living on US$ 1.00 or less a day, etc. are already there and all because of decades of misrule and people like you and Nick Mangwana who, for whatever reason, bury their heads in the sand and will not admit the truth.
You keep fanning that tribal fire and one day it will burn you down!
She is Shona like you. You are all the same; you created ZANU PF the monster thus now refusing to die.
ZANU PF has always been a tribalistic outfit that started with Zezuru Karanga infighting.
Yesterday it was the Zezuru on top shitting on everyone; today its the Karanga on top and in a matter of a week signs are already there of their intention to shit on everyone and sarah Mahoka is one such Karanga.
All you two groups thought you could create this phanthom “Shona” unity by manufacturing a non existent enemy called “Mandevere”. Tell you what; any such “unity” based on some imagined “common enemy” is built on quicksand; its not sustainable, thus it will never last.
You can come up all with these funny satanic verses, such as your ZANU PF 1979 Grand Plans; continue to sow seeds of tribal divisions by lecturing your generation after generation children of your Mandevere Madzwiti tribal raids history and South Africa, all you want; your phantom Shona unity will still come down crumbling one day, when commeth the hour. And indeed this is the hour.
Zim is now in a worse situation under a military junta led by Karangas and these are thugs of note.
Shona people have no recognisable history of nation building; hence the mess that is Zimbabwe today.
White Colonialists simply walked their way into Mashonaland and flew their flag at the Salisbury Kopjie, to mark their Capital and faced no resistance from Shona tribesmen, because Shonas had no Central Authority. All so called Empires or Kingdoms they ever tried their hand at never survived in the past.
They simply fell apart from internal contradictions, tribal clan infighting without any outside interventions, unlike the Mthwakazi Kingdoms which fell apart because of white invasions.
I am not at all surprised to have seen this so called Zimbabwe experiment turn into ashes in my life time.
There is precedence in history when it comes to you Shona people. What a curse in Southern Africa; what a curse. Shame!!
Shonas are a curse in our Southern African region. All countries with no Shonas are democratic and prosperous in this region, except for Zimbabwe. Fact!!
Its obvious from your assertion that the writer is hiding behind a laptop in apparent denial of the truth laid so bare. No amount of glossing or looking the other way when the truth is so glaring loud and clear. No doubt you’re a Zanupf apologetic and probably gained vastly from the looting at the expense of the people of Zimbabwe. How else can you not see the suffering of so many… its so so SAD let alone scary a woman/mother with such a heart… I rest my case and God Bless you !
When all you do is sit behind a laptop and froth at the mouth while typing away your evil wishful thoughts for zimbabwe this is the result. Fortunately God loves zw. These evil things will not happen
