Greenade or no Greenade we will win

The nation and a remorseful worried community asks, "Who did it? Who threw that bomb? Was it a G40 or An Enemy within?" The answer should be, "The Enemy of Zimbabwe Did It." Every last one of us is condemned for that crime and the bombing was an attack on freedom. Zimbabweans across the party divide should come together to condemn such behaviour. Never in the history of Zimbabwe was such an evil thing happened. Zimbabweans are normally civilised and not blood thirsty dragons from the graves. We all have a duty to maintain peace. It is not correct to say no one saw the grenade throwing lunatic aiming at the president.  We all did it.



And all across Zimbabwe, an angry, guilty people cry out their mocking shouts of indignity and say they wonder "Why?" "Who?" Everyone then "deplores" the "dastardly" act.

But you know the "who" of "Who did it" is really rather simple. The "who" is every little individual who talks about the "factionalism" and spreads the seeds of his hate to his neighbour and his son. The jokester, the crude of whose factional jokes rock the nation with laughter. We have idiots who flood the social media with messages that the bombing was stage managed. Some fools find jokes out of this sombre moment. The comedians circulate their jokes making a joke of life and the spilt blood of those who died on the day. The death of our soldiers and security officers cements our democracy.

The wisdom and maturity of ED by refusing to react with violence speaks volumes of where Zimbabwe is heading to in this period.

The "who" is every political party leader who ever shouted for lawlessness and became a law violator?

It is every Zimbabwean and every representative who in the comfort of the country stands and with mock humility tells the world that things back home aren't really like they are.
It is courts that move ever so slowly, and newspapers that timorously defend the law. It is the prosecutors who fail to expedite the cases that make a mockery of our nation.
It is all the Christians and all their ministers who spoke too late in anguished cries against violence. It is the coward in each of us who clucks admonitions.

We are a mass of intolerance and bigotry and stand indicted before our young. We are cursed by the failure of each of us to accept responsibility, by our defence of an already dead institution. We have people in us who cannot let Mugabe go and commit these crimes in his name.
Last Sabbath the 23rd July while Bulawayo, which prides itself on heritage peace and culture, was attending a rally, a bomb went off and the pride of the nation was threatened by the cowards.


Those four cadres who died were human beings. They have their years in defence of a nation a nation where no one accepts responsibility; where everybody wants to blame somebody else. A nation with a people married to peace and love, a sort of sacrificial offering, a balm for the conscience of the "good people". . . .

Zimbabwe is a nation where people live in peace and enjoying their poverty in peace.
And, who is really guilty? Each of us. Each citizen who has not consciously attempted to bring about peaceful compliance with the purpose of the liberation war., every citizen and every school board member and schoolteacher and principal and businessman and judge and lawyer who has corrupted the minds of our youth; every person in this community who has in any way contributed during the past several years to the popularity of hatred, is at least as guilty, or more so, than the demented fool who threw that bomb.

The events of last Sabbath are only real in the news from other countries. Zimbabwe must not be allowed to sink that low. Any misunderstandings must be solved amicably without a fight. We saw a lot of blood and we do not need more.

We have more firepower to retaliate but we are for peace. This is the time to unite and not to fight. We are a democratic nation and we must remain so.

Already the freedoms we are enjoying was watered by the blood of our heroes, all we have to do now is to preserve our freedom by the ink in the ballot box. We do not need to spill more blood, we need to spill more ink in the ballot box.
Whom will we rule if we are to bomb everybody.
