Of Morgan Tsvangirai And Chimurenga

 Lonely and Brave At last

Morgan passed on somewhere in South Africa. He was alone without his wife or mother. he was alone without his not so loyal party members. He was alone without those settler farmers who had created him. He was alone. This was the bravest point in his life where he was really alone and had to fight his fight on his own.


Morgan has always had people propping him up, either as a fulltime politician or as a union activist. It is this weakness the white settler farmers exploited in 1999. He was the perfect puppet, innocent and politically immature.The man made a perfect leader to head a movement that would stop the land redistribution and reverse the gain made by fellow blacks against the white settler farmers. He was anti- Chimurenga and anti-revolutionary. Zimbabwean history has already judged him.

Hero Or Traitor

Morgan was not a self-made man. He was a man who needed a" lot of hand-holding" to borrow that forgotten USA ambassador said in those Wikileaks documents. He was the guy who chickened out of going to fight the Chimurenga. He could not be brave enough to cross the Mozambican border. He could not sacrifice his life to free his motherland.it has been said that he was not brave enough to stand for Member of Parliament in his own home constituency.

It is the paragraph above that tarnishes Morgan bid to lay on the National Heroes Acre, Manicaland Provincial Heroes Acre or Buhera District Heroes Acre. He does not deserve that honour. We should be proud that at least he will be honoured by his family and those who believe he contributed to their lives on a personal level.


 We have here, a man who in his words could fight for property rights for the white settler. He was prepared to sacrifice our lives by inviting sanctions on his motherland. Let us not forget that he was not always alone in his quest to take on a revolution and reverse it. You have to remember people like Ncube, Mangoma Biti, Gutu and of late Chamisa, who hang around him.

Chimurenga Is Forever

 It is important that we as Zimbabweans draw lessons from Morgan life and death. Chimurenga is bigger than all the white settlers purse. It is bigger than one man's ego. It is bigger than all the party that will be formed. It is bigger than one man's name or brand.

Death has to come. It had to happen to all of us, it was only a matter of when. It is our tradition that we mourn with the bereaved but let us not forget the story around Morgan Tsvangirai. The true story.

May his troubled soul rest in peace.
