Antony Taruvinga|Since his death, I decided that I should say nothing mainly because his death has no bearing on our lives. He died when he was just an ordinary old man.

I actually understand the anger the people have on him. He inflicted untold suffering to the people for power. Some of us have not recovered. Homes were destroyed, we have not built new ones. People died painful deaths. Families are still mourning.

There were two abductions attempts on me. The last was on 26 July 2008 when more than 10 men clad in green bomber uniforms, armed with crude weapons, singing songs of war descended on our homestead in Chivi South looking for me. They couldn’t find me because I was hiding in a drum of water. As usual, they left after terrorising family.

Mugabe was cruel, so is Mnangagwa and other top cronies, that’s why his death is not popularised and felt across the country as the death of Dr. Morgan Tsvangirai. But we cant fight a dead man.

More so, his endorsement of Pres. Adv. Nelson Chamisa in the last election showed he had detached himself from the system he created. The system whose constitution is Zanu pf got inherited by Mnangagwa, a man Mugabe has always used to do the dirty work who now has mastered the art of killing.

I will neither mourn nor celebrate Mugabe’s demise. I must be clear here, I will not waste my hard gotten few dollars attending Mugabe funeral. I will do nothing about it but those who may wish to do something must be given the chance to do so hence I welcome President’s announcement that 20th Anniversary is postponed to 28 September 2019.

Mugabe is not a hero. It’s not possible to have a hero in a murderer. Not at all. The people spreading the hero lie are totally misguided. Those people are facts free. They need help.

Let’s all unite and give Mnangagwa a fight. Zanu pf must be removed from power. That exactly will be the first step towards economic recovery.
