August of Heroes and Pretenders

August is the month that we Zimbabweans celebrate the life of our heroes and heroines. It is the months in which every black Zimbabwean family acknowledges the efforts and sacrifice made by our people in the Chimurenga.

It is a month we recognize and remember that our enemy was a white person and was a Rhodesian. It is a month that we reflect and appreciate on the bravado of our kinsmen who sacrificed their lives to unchain us from slavery and bondage.

Well, it is never as easy as above,  for among us there are people who are still slaves mentally. People who still need to be decolonised. So here is what happened in the Heroes month of August.

Flags Does not make you a Hero 

August started with a pastor-for-hire who wrapped the Zimbabwean flag on his neck in a suicide attempt. The guy had failed to pay his children fees. He made a video with a plea for assistance. The video and the hashtag went viral. The guy had his day in court, was freed and promptly fled into self-exile.Some of us called him a hero but I thought that he was just another coward with my country flag on his neck.

Heroine in Chains

We had one of the heroines of Chimurenga dancing with the devils in Gweru. It is either that the devil is now an angel or the heroine is now sleeping with the devil.The heroine's memories of the Chimurenga is now certainly impaired. I forgive her because she was once certified 120% disabled and she did receive compensation for that. It was a mad month this August.

Heroine in Smoke

While one heroine was dancing with the devil, this other heroine from Manicaland was burning the chair she was sitting on. She could see the smoke but could not identify where the fire was coming from.

The smoke is still blowing but our heroine has ungracefully retreated to her honorable office. It is a month of utter madness.

Selous Scout Hero

Call it divine justice but the founder and creator of the famous  Selous Scout unit died peacefully in his sleep in Cape Town in 2010. The Selous Scouts were responsible for nearly 70% of the 60000 black Zimbabweans who died during the Chimurenga War.The guy died in September 2010.

This guy was personally responsible for the raid of Chimoio, Nyadzonia, and other refugee camps.May his tormented Rhodesian soul rest in peace!!!

Family  Heroes

In parliament, a question was asked on the graves of the Gukurahundi disturbance victims. The procedure is that you identify the victim and the grave, and you notify the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Ministry would assist with burial. This is how we bury our family heroes.

Looting Does Not Make You Heroes

In August we saw people without a cause, and the career demonstrators and their rented crowd and criminals do heroic exercise in anarchy. The social media was the judge, and we now know looting and general lawlesness does not make you a hero. This society knows its story, heroes, and its anti-heroes.

Where is Our Heroes Website ?

In this month of August l had the pleasure to visit  the Rhodesian forces website, where  murderers and rapists were rewarded. Where cowardice and atrocities are acknowledged and published. Where is the website of our Chimurenga heroes and heroines?

This was August. This was the month of our Heroes and Heroines!!!

#ThisFlag Third Force Exposed

The past six weeks in Zimbabwe at a glance!

The Third Force Exposed

The USA ambassador admitted that he uses the social media to counter  ZANU Pf propaganda tactics. He said that he can for example  meet opposition youths covertly  on social media. This is where we see social media being abused.Me thinks he is being very undiplomatic.

The USA ambassador has just admitted  on zimbabwelive.com that he accessed individuals outside protocol, without the approval of the host government. If this was to happen in the USA would not only sanction the offending foreign official but will deport him or her.

The admission by the ambassador makes us believe in the third force conspiracy theory that has been hinted by the Zimbabwean government officials.

The Hashtags and Votes

I have just had a shock. There was a by election in Mazowe South Constituency.  ZANU Pf candidate Martin Dinha beat an opposition member by 12700 votes.

This is a declaration of war of sorts from ZANU Pf. Can we see there are more voters than the hashtags. I can conclude that #OurFlag won the elections, if votes were hashtags.

The Hashtags and the Diaspora 

I got about 1400 friends on Facebook and I got chastised by those in the diaspora when l said they were talking on behalf of their respective white masters. Their thinking is that  #Thisflag campaign is helping change the attitudes of Zimbabweans worldwide towards party politics and their relationship to ZANU Pf.

Some people have the temerity to call #ThisFlag campaign a national campaign.Well by the look of things, it is a social media campaign which is tied to the internet a product of cyber warriors. This blog your are reading has more followers than people who are behind the campaign.

Social Media and the Pastor-for-hire

The school fees plea video as shown on Whatsapp

Everything is unfolding  and crumbling for those who believe  the #ThisFlag is a national movement. The pastor-for-hire has fled the country. The reason was that he needed to consult his followers in the Diaspora.

The pastor-for-hire needed to consult his foreign handlers.  Now we know we have our third force conspiracy theory confirmed.This is what other observers are saying including me of course. Is he not consulting his handlers on how he can raise the school fees fees for his children?

Let us all pray that the pastor come home and pay his children school fees after the consultation of course!!!!

P.S. The zimbabwelive.com link has been politely removed by the cyber-warriors in order not to embarrass the USA ambassador to Zimbabwe.
