Heroes of Zimbabwe: Remembered

 

As you know, August is the month we celebrate our heroes. The heroes of all the three Chimurengas. This is the month we celebrate all the "butt-kicking" heroes  who freed us from the colonial yoke of the British and Rhodesian settlers

The fight towards freedom and equality was made with great sacrifice both on the battlefield and in all communities. 

The price of the struggle to independence to our nation was high,  nearly 60 000 died. Every family was affected in many painful ways. Blood, tears, loss of limbs and lives were the sacrifice our heroes paid for our independence 

  Over the coming months until next August, I would like to encourage all citizens of this great nation to celebrate our Chimurenga heroes and heroines

It is with this in mind that I am launching a new campaign to remind all our brothers, sisters, mothers, husband, wives, friends , heroines and heroes, just how amazing they are. 

How to get involved?

Step 1: 

Think about a person who inspires you or who you would like to recognize for the amazing person he or she is. Visit the persons and chat with them. Make them see you appreciate their contribution to our country 

 

Step 2:

Upload an image and share some kind words to make him or her feel special. This could be anything from a quote to "thank you note". 

Step 3:

Sit back, relax and let us share your special message with them. I  will send a  letter, a text message or email to the person you nominate to recognise them for being amazing. Email me at embuzana@gmail.com 

Step 4:

Keep the conversation going by joining us on social media. Upload a selfie with an inspirational hero or heroine  on your twitter handle or Facebook wall

Criminalization of the Chimurenga Revolution

 One of the heartbreaking moments in the history of Zimbabwe is the Nyadzonia massacre. It is a story that needs to tell again and again as it has some important pointers to our current political situation. 

Nyati was a ZANU cadre who worked as a double agent for the Rhodesians. It is said one morning he called for a routine parade, with the full knowledge that the  Rhodesian army and airforce were going to make an attack on the base. What followed was a bloodbath as innocent people including unarmed women and children were killed. 

Alex Magaisa's so-called Big Sunday Read expose on the land reform and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe's Farm Mechanisation is a similar attempt to derail the land reform and criminalization of the whole of Chimurenga. 

 

Here is a whole Professor and a lawyer calling a process that went through our own Parliament and became a law, illegal. The irony is that process was done when Magaisa was a special adviser to then Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirayi. He was privileged to have access to the list of the defaulters. It is surprisingly funny that he chose to discover the list now.

For the record,  the list of defaulters is a public document and the extent of the debts written off is known,

Magaisa is drinking poison from the Rhodesian propaganda cup. Every black person on the defaulters' list is a criminal to him. This is the same label that the Rhodesians gave to blacks during the second Chimurenga...terrorist or terrorist's collaborator!! 

Alex Magaisa wants us to call all those that benefitted not only from the mechanisation scheme but all beneficiaries of the land reform program criminals. It is exactly how the disposed of white Rhodesian settler farmers call all resettled black farmers.

The likes of Magaisa are counter-revolutionaries who are bent on subverting the Chimurenga revolution. As indicated earlier in Nyati's story at Nyadzonya, counter-revolutionaries could not stop our liberation. Chimurenga will go to the next level.
