Last week's events of Jonathan Moyo publicly throwing Sydney Sekeramai's name in the Presidential succession matrix and Grace Mugabe and a whole President Mugabe seemingly chastising Moyo at a rally in Marondera is an old ploy that was unsuccessfully employed by Abel Muzorewa's Dzakutsaku outfit in 1979 - 1980 period.
The Dzakutsaku figured out that the priests had become ardent supporters of the ZANLA forces and ratcheted a plan to go around killing the priests. At Berejena Secondary school in Chivi, Masvingo, the Dzakutsaku came to the school disguised as ZANLA forces. They force marched all the students to the theatre area and started singing revolutionary songs.
Our priest was sitting in front with his hands tied to the back. Some students spotted that and started whispering to the next person what was going on. Within minutes we were all aware of the danger that was impeding. The older guys quickly decided that they will try to apprehend the heavily armed Dzakutsaku fighters.
Before anything could be attempted, our priest made an effort to escape. He jumped and ran towards our dormitories. A grenade was thrown at him but did not explode. Instead of continuing to the dormitory rooms, the priest made a clever move and was only hit by a gun when he was just few meters from total escape.
There was pandemonium at the sound of gunfire. Some of us escaped and other students were apprehended. The priest was pierced all over his body with bayonets. It was horrific and barbaric. The captured students were forced to break church windows while the perpetrators tried in vain to shoot down the church tower.
We all came back in the morning. The priest was in critical condition and later died. The events that followed never made sense. The whole school saw a sea of soldiers converging to Berejena Mission. There were aero planes flying around broadcasting messages that we must not vote for people that kill priests.
Grace and Robert Mugabe's rally talk in Marondera brought back these memories. Obviously they had a message for the Friday rally. How in the world could that message change overnight to focus on Moyo's utterances? This to me does not make sense. The rally was planned months ago. What was the message for the rally? How could it change overnight just because Moyo has said something? To me these things are not a coincidence; these are planned events and Moyo and Grace knows exactly what they are doing.
They just think we are the fools but my message to both of them is that we can see through you clearly now. You will never fool us again. Just as the Dzakutsaku tried to hoodwink us in 1979 - 1980; we realize you are trying the same trick but now it will not succeed.
