Subject: Gukurahundi Atrocities.
From: ######@#########.###
I hope Nomazulu is your name. However, I don't know your Surname. You are one of those who have decided to write thresh about me, associating me with the post-independence gukurahundi atrocities.
I would kindly request and advise you to walk carefully on eggs on this matter, because your article about me are not based on researched material and I am considering taking legal action to stop this rubbish.
I have written extensively about my involvement in the liberation of Zimbabwe, to a point of producing a CV. My CV, has details for use by anyone who wants even to write the history of the armed struggle. But you seem to ignore all that and decided to continue to insult me as someone ofuna ukudla at the expense of the blood of our innocent people.
I realise you don't know me. First and foremost, I am a God fearing person. A strong member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, from birth.
I am not a dealer, I am not a gambler, I am not a thief and I am not a prostitute.
I was not in any way involved in the massacres of our people neither directly or indirectly. My somuch talked involvement with CIO, has been explained. But you seem also to ignore my explanations and prefer to accept your own history.
I would like to repeat to you for your own personal information that I was transferred to CIO, Branch 2, in 1987 from the Ministry of Labour, and I was sent to Maputo as liaison officer, in September the same year. Branch 2, is a diplomatic division of CIO where as Branch 1, is an internal branch that was dealing with gukurahundi. Victor Mlambo and Gordon Butshe, all former colleagues of Dabengwa in NSO were seconded by Dabengwa to the internal branch of CIO. Manje mina ngingena ngaphi?
I never said that the post-independence gukurahundi atrocities were a Western propaganda. I said that the post-independence gukurahundi atrocities were as a result of Western conspiracies and I gave my analysis leading to that.
Ones understanding of this analysis, which is based on researched information will depend on that person's depth in understanding international conspiracies leading to the scramble for Africa.
Be reminded that someones name will cost you money if you are not careful. I am not even one of those who said gukurahundi was a closed chapter. That will be the final report of the Healing Ministry after extensive consultations with the stakeholders.
Finally, for your own good, stop telling lies about me. This is not a threat. Please take it serious. If you are prepared to stand your ground with your lies, then continue insulting me using those lies. You are however still blessed because I am writing to you in my personal capacity.
