By Leonard Koni| I have been going through and checking on those detained at Chikurubi Maximum Prison but I failed to locate one criminal who was surrounding the late President.
This is the million dollar question being asked by many Zimbabweans who are seeking infornation on what really transpired when they were caught in a frenzy of removing the former President.
It’s true people wanted the dictator Mugabe to go because he caused untold suffering of many Zimbabweans, stayed for too long, presided over a ruthless government and failed to manage the succession matrix.
Were these targeted criminals in the likes of Makomborero Haruzivishe, Cecilia Chimbiri and Joana Mamombe whom we see languishing in prison today or what?
In November 2017 we saw the late Subusiso Moyo clad in army regalia announcing on the national television that Mugabe was safe and that they were only targeting criminals surrounding him.
It is sad that the only person who was going to answer this question is now late and was just a coup announcer but we still have the chief strategists with us.
Were these criminals the G40 crew like Jonathan Moyo, Walter Mzembi, Saviour Kasukuwere, Robert Zhuwao et al. I understand these lads were not even armed with a bow and an arrow but surprisingly tanks were rolled into the streets just for a few unarmed individuals.
It has become clear that there were two criminals in the house and the other criminals were outside waiting to storm and pounce on their prey and do the same act.
There were thieves catching other thieves and spared each other as they continue looting the country’s resources broadly now disguised as lawfully rulers.
We celebrated the unceremonial departure of Mugabe who did not allow the soldiers to shoot at 45° angle.
He maintained his stance that soldiers remained confined themselves at their respective barracks and we sanitised the arrival of Emmerson Mnangagwa’s adminstration which is now decimating the opposition. The people were used to fight factional battles within Zanu PF.
Today the country is now worst than what it was before the coup. If the coup really achieved its mission by now I think Zimbabwe would be starting enjoying reaping the fruits.
This is the greatest trick ever played on innocent and poor Zimbabweans. Lest we forget.
