Zipra Recognition
19 Jun 2013 at 10:15hrs | Views
Zimbabwean independence must always be remembered how it was attained; aside with lies and diluted history being currently taught in schools across the country.
ZIPRA forces get all the credit for liberating Zimbabwe as a whole, Rhodesian Government succumbed to pressure from Zapu to allow elections to take place not Zanu who were completely untrained and dying like flies, without Zapu , Zimbabwe could still be under British Rule, Zanu won the elections due to votes being cast on tribal grounds, militarily, the Rhodesian Army wasn't bothered about Zanla at all but Zipra forces. In this day and age, the British are still raising motions in the House of Commons about Zapu not the ever useless Zanla forces who are only good at killing innocent civilians.
Zimbabwe must acknowledge that the country was liberated single-handedly by Zipra forces, they deserve unequalled recognition even to the ANC, what is good about the ANC is, they don't bury history that led to their freedom, unlike the limping, old evil despot.
Cowards Government put Lookout Masuku in incarceration solely to go on killing spree in Greater Bulawayo unhindered, as they knew, this couldn't have happened with him unchained.
All Zipra forces should participate in remembrance of our true heroes. First- Joshua Nkomo. Second – Lookout Masuku.
