  1. Its an absolute tragedy that we wish for our oppressors to once again lead us as our own people failed us miserably without the experience of politics & economic prowess in the arena in the white supremacy game all rules and laws were created by them for their own benefit we were collateral damage to achieving their end game

  2. The eloquence of your speech, clarity of facts and transition thereof simply grabs my undivided attention, I can't even multitask whenever I start listening to your content. You always invoke my emotions with your content, I am furiously angry at someone right now😪

  3. It hurts me as a Shona when I hear my Ndebele brothers and sisters say Shonas hate Ndebeles, no Zanu PF hates Ndebeles. Our Shona generals believed in a Ndebele Presidency but Mugabe & his handlers couldn't allow that to happen.

  4. I was an early teenager then when I witnessed the belly of a pregnant girl was ripped wide open. I survived by God's grace but 3 abantwana baka baba lomama were shot dead and many others. God bless ed and his zanu??? Reconciliation commission yokunuka !

  5. It was long known that Mugabe wanted absolute power so inorder to to do that they created a problem and found a way to neutralise Nkomo who was a more popular leader.

  6. Excellent journalism. I just have one observation – so Nkomo's wing did not understand the consequences of the Unity Accord? Because if they had, the outcome of the Accord would have been from an equal footing.
    For Example: the issue of the VP appointments or the Chairperson?
    Then ALL those people died in vain?

  7. Very true indeed this is the history that has been denied and distorted by the zanu pf "s tribalistic idiologe, the Mnangaga" s gukurahundi.genocide will HAUNT zanu pf forever as long as they don't want to admit their moment of madness

  8. There was no unity,Zapu were badgerer into submission,just like they tried with the MDC,MDC Alliance, ccc.fortunately Chamisa and every right thinking Zimbabwean we will prevail.unity with the devil,my foot!

  9. It would be a lie to say there was no winner in the 2nd Chimurenga. Those that met their objectives won the war. It's sad when an African revise history with such bias that dilutes the success of African organisation that forced Rhodesians to the negotiating table.

  10. I appreciate the detailed documentary on Zimbabwe's history, but I feel it doesn't delve deep enough on why Zanu Gvt pounced on Nkomo and the ple of matebeleland. You correctly pointed out that the dissidents issue, which is true. However, there's a crucial aspect that needs to be explored further, particularly regarding South Africa's role during the apartheid era. The relationship of SA Gvt and Nkomo who was very bitter!

    At that time, South Africa was at a boiling point, and many ANC (Umkontho Wesizwe) members were receiving training in Zambia and Mozambique. After Zimbabwe gained independence, these members sought refuge in the country, which raised concerns in South Africa. The government realised that Zimbabwe's independence would destabilise South Africa and increase the number of people seeking training in Zimbabwe which would usher a new Gvt .

    As a result, the South African government sponsored efforts to destabilise Zimbabwe, and Nkomo was their guy through funding Zipra. This is a matter of record. While we shouldn't downplay the severity of the Zimbabwean government's actions, it's essential to consider the complex regional dynamics.

    The fact is that the relationship between the Zimbabwean government and the people of Matebeleland was strained, and the threat of civil war was real. Nkomo was in bed with the South African Gvt, and that's a fact! The government's actions were wrong, but it's important to acknowledge that the situation was complex and multifaceted.

    In hindsight, there could have been better ways to resolve the situation without resorting to violence against civilians. Nevertheless, it's crucial to understand the historical context and the regional dynamics that contributed to the conflict.
