ZPRA veterans once again sold a dummy!!!

I remember very vividly early this year, our party's National Spokesperson Cde Mbonisi Gumbo in his response to the derogatory message by one of the ZPRA war veterans against my party, who claimed that we were a project of ZANU PF. Gumbo said as a party we were not moved by such sentiment since they (ZPRA) were the ones who were already in talks with the Lacoste, a Zanu PF faction.

On the 22nd of December at the Gukurahundi- Umbhuqazwe commemoration at Stanley hall organised by Ibhetshu likazulu, the ZPRA chairman, Benny Ncube shocked everyone when he stood up and told the gathering that the removal of Mugabe was their brain child as they had been approached by the Zanla cadres from Harare who asked for their assistance on intelligence on how to remove Robert Mugabe from power.

One will begin to wonder who is a project of ZANU PF now. When will our people learn that shona people will never be trusted as they always indicate left whilst turning right?.

Dating back from 1893, Shonas have never been faithful to us. In the same year about 652 batsmen destroyed our kingdom as they were aiding the British imperialists...."sathi sikubonile"!.

In 1963, when everyone was busy rallying behind the leadership of our great icon Dr Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo to liberate both Mashonaland and Matabeleland, the shonas, cunning as their are as a serpent, decided to form Zanu, a gukurahundist party which was formed on Tribal lines...."sathi sikubonile"!.

In 1979, as ZIPRA and Zapu were busy planning on how to come back home and start rebuilding the fallen walls of Jerusalem, on the other hand the Zanlas, who contributed little to the liberation this country, were busy jotting down the Shona rotten, satanic grand plan and planning on how to execute the Gukurahundi genocide.

After the Genocide, Joshua Nkomo entered into the unity accord in agony and in pain, only because he wanted to stop the killings. Ubaba uNkomo uthi yena, "impi izoqala khonale Salisbury, uma sebesilwa lingabalamuli", but surprisingly the ZPRA veterias are commiting treasonous acts by not heeding to the their commander in chief's call. Joshua Nkomo also once said "Ngenani liphume lingeladaka". We had hoped Zipra and ZAPU had left without udaka kodwa babuyele bayozininda ngodaka.

We wonder why Zipra should be concerned about removing Robert Mugabe, yet they did not put him. They are shying away from taking back their properties, bought through their hard earned cash, but choose to work on a project whose agenda is flawed and dirty.

If ZANU PF thugs could grab white owned properties, what is stopping Zipra from grabbing their own, whose tittle deeds are there as evidence.

Have these war veterians forgotten so soon their humiliation, the day they were integrated into the Zimbabwean National army?, or they are blindly being loyal to Mnangagwa's words that 'let bygones be bygones'.

Is this not a betrayal to Joshua Nkomo and his legacy. Am sure the old man must be turning in his grave seeing his well known and once disciplined ZPRA cadres begging for relevance and recognition.

The ZIPRA veterans told the gathering at Ibhetshu likazulu- Gukurahundi commemoration that they were no longer recognizing the 1987 unity accord, but to us aiding Zanla veterans is actually cementing the unity accord that you are claiming to be not part of.
