Chinamasa to Diaspora, 'Know a high thief to do business in Zimbabwe!'

I listened to Minister of Justice speaking to some Diaspora Zimbabweans in London and explaining what has been going on in Zimbabwe since in the past decades.

Mr Chinamasa spoke like a calm, regular and real human being who resonates and mingles with the human species harmoniously. He spoke a lot of sense so much that anyone who does not know the actual craft of these deceivers would wonder why Zimbabweans ever chose to leave their beloved country to go and scrounge in Britain.

Mr Chinamasa stated that Zimbabweans in UK are treated as underclass and that is true but, in my view, he is not qualified to ever say that. His audience were well nourished healthy Matabeleland East Zimbabweans who have safe drinking and bathing water and constant electricity food, health-care, education. These beautiful Zimbabweans do not look like anyone who lives in Zimbabwe, they are just healthy and smart. They eat what they want at the time of their choosing and they have no fear that anyone would one day knock their doors and steal them from their children to end up dead in a mine shaft.

Mr Chinamasa spoke the sweet  Zanu language that I first heard in 1977 when the Zanla forces taught us at Pungwe that Black Zimbabweans would become true owners of their free country.

In total contrast to Mr Chinamasa's views, I was made to flee my country not by White Racists but by Mr Chinamasa's Zanu-PF which is anti-Zimbabwean. Mr Chinamasa spoke about Colonial injustices pertaining land and he was correct. What he avoided to say was that after independence from Colonialism his Zanu-PF created Gukurahundi which forced me out of my country to end up here. Mr Chinamasa spoke like a victim and a visionary and claimed that Zanu-PF is a peaceful organisation which only responds to violence by violence.

A lady in the medical fraternity asked him if it was possible for Professional Zimbabweans to go home and practise, he said they need to bring their own money to practise in Zimbabwe.

What struck me the most is when Mr Chinamasa said, "If you want to make big business in Zimbabwe, you need to know someone in power for success." That in English is called Nepotism and the Justice Minister of Zimbabwe just said it clearly, eloquently and confidently.

Nepotism is the tool that brought Zimbabwe down and that is the tool that will make Zanu-PF lose any credible election within the borders of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe, Zanu-PF, Mugabe and Chinamasa strongly believe that 'you have to know someone to start a business in Zimbabwe.'

That answers the reason why Chinamasa's audience were all Matabeleland Easterners and no Ndebele, Venda, Suthu, Tonga, Kalanga, Asian or White Zimbabwean.

Nepotism and indeed a Zanu-PF belief that you have to know someone in power to do anything above average alienates all other segments of Zimbabweans and only scopes on the Shona of which I am. The fact that I am Shona and still a victim of Zanu-PF nepotism means nepotism only benefits a niche of our society and that is a shot lived unsustainable menu. It also answers why a Ndebele man can't be part of an audience of a nepotistic Shona Minister of justice.

This goes further and further on my mind to confirm what I have long noticed that truly Paul Siwela and Nandinandi Magagula's cessation theories are not treason but a Liberation alternative which must be supported. You have to know some thieving nepotistic Shona shameless Minister to do business in a country you call yours even when you are Kalanga and have no relative in Matabeleland East.

Does the Minister understand that Zimbabwe really means Mashonaland and it can't just be hidden?

Is it illegal then for Siwela to seek cessation since he won't be able to open a meaningful business in a country he wants to call his because of nepotism?  

Please do not confuse me for a Ndebele as people always do. I am Shona and real, I have a name, Ryton Dzimiri, and this article is not about me tribalistically hating my own Shona language but a factual eye opener from a sober Shona with a real face. When one tells the truth, they don't hide their faces. Mugabe and Nkomo told their truth in 1979 and they showed their faces and names. If I were smearing or falsely accusing I would call myself CheZhira but the truth I say here does not require that.

Mr Chinamasa said that he reads news on internet; I wish he reads this and inspect himself, his job, his belief and his contribution to the demise of Zimbabwe as a country.

I know on the public he will say he has been misquoted, thus an old political sentence and reality on the field proves that Zanu-PF is a party of nepotism and deserves an exit.
