The Daily News is currently serializing Nkomo's "The Story of My Life" in the paper.
In Wednesday's issue, the paper had excerpts of how Nkomo escaped from Zimbabwe during the mass murders in Matebeleland that left thousands dead in the 1980's after security forces as directed by then Prime Minister Mugabe were out to eliminate him.
"Robert Mugabe had decided to have me out of the way and he evidently did not care what method was used. But I hold the government of Zimbabwe innocent of this atrocity," Nkomo says in his books published by the Daily News.
"It was maFuyana, my wife, who determined what I was to do. "It appears to me that your friends have gone out of their minds. Now that they have come straight to kill you, you have got to leave."
Nkomo also dismisses allegations that he fled to Botswana disguised like an old woman. "That clown (late) Herbert Ushewokunze, the minister of home affairs, told newspapers I had "escaped" disguised as an old woman....Anyway I did not escape, I decided to leave and I left."
