Nathaniel Manheru or George Charamba: you have crossed the red line: Zionist and Gugurahundi genocide is a myth, you say!

03 Jan 2015 at 00:11hrs | Views

Manheru, if you say Gugurahundi genocide is a myth in as much as the Holocaust and genocide that took place in most European countries against the Jews  is a myth, then you have crossed the redline! Again how many insults are the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands going to stomach when they are told by the "most educated" (Nathaniel Manheru, aka George Charamba) people in the land that the killings in Mathebeleland and Midlands did not exist, it is a myth? For your own information Manheru, the knowledge that you have in your hands in abundance is that, in as much as the Holocaust existed, the Gugurahundi existed too, the difference being that the Holocaust claimed over 4 million Jews and the Gugurahundi claimed over 20,000 people of Mathebeleland and Midlands: the number. The purpose and reason is the same, to exterminate the Jews in Europe on one hand: and to exterminate the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands and be removed them from the face of the Republic of Zimbabwe so that they do not exist anymore, that was the Grand Plan, on the other hand. We the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands, we own the Gugurahundi because it was perpetrated on us as selected people of that area.

It is getting very dangerous for the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands just by the nomination of Emerson Mnangagwa and Mphoko as Vice Presidents; it puts us in a petrified corner and wonders what is next. These crimes of genocide where not dealt with by our fathers and mothers, now genocide will soon be visiting us all over again, Enos Nkala has reincarnated as Mphoko and Emerson  Mnangagwa is the original killer and orchestrator  of genocide to the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands in the 1980s. The Unity Accord of 1987 was not sustainable as it was not consultative to the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands.  This is the danger, dear citizens of Zimbabwe. These criminal cabals went scot free and it is for this reason that they think they can get away with thousands of murders all over again. They did it in Mathebeleland and Midlands, they did it again in the farm invasions of the year 2000, and they did it again in code: Murambatsvina in 2005 and they did it again in 2008 during the general elections! The question is: what is next, who is next? Thousands of people died; those with totems and without totems. Who stopped them, who condemned them internationally? Should we still stomach the vomit coming from Manheru telling us that Gugurahundi is a myth? How long are the people of Mathebeleland stomach and cope with the daily insults? Mphoko has been telling us yesterday that Mugabe is a fountain of wisdom, just by nominating him as Vice President! What about the 20,000 people who perished in the Gugurahundi atrocities? Is Mugabe still a fountain of wisdom after killing 20,000 innocent civilians in Mathebeleland and Midlands and thousands he killed in the farm invasions, and thousands he killed in Murambatsvina, and thousands he killed in 2008 general elections, the failing economy, Zimbabwe can crumble economically anytime? Or is it the western "parapaganda" again Mr. Mphoko?

How are the people of Israel and the world at large going to react if they are told that some Zimbabwe government official spokesman named George Charamba (disguised pen name: Nathaniel Manheru) is denying the genocide atrocities of Holocaust in Europe to defend the genocide that took place in Zimbabwe between 1981 and 1987 against the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands?

Let me remind all of us and the world at large what happened in Mathebeleland and Midlands between the year 1981 and 1987: women and young girls were raped, gang raped, children were murdered equally, and each every man in Mathebeleland and Midlands was a dissident and when caught, was killed:  They burnt  victims alive, forcing villagers to dig their own graves and bury them alive, trucking and burying victims alive in mine shafts, the use of any object to break the victims skull, parading victims and shooting them before a forced audience, which is then butchered in similar fashion in turn Lining victims in a single line, one behind the other facing one direction, and firing gunshots at the back of one victim's head so that victims are killed simultaneously with a single bullet, torturing victims brutally and slowly until they died, forcing victims to lie down on their backs staring into the sun and denying them water and food,  Amputating victims hands and legs with axes and other bayonets to see how the fetus of a Ndebele so-called dissident looked like in its mother's womb and then watching these women bleed to death., starving of victims of food and water until they died in various notorious detention camps and also under the imposed chilling curfew which closed down shops and restricted virtually all movement. Kidnappings and disappearances where people were taken from their homes from the streets, from schools and offices, from buses and trains and, also taken while grazing their livestock in the forests, and from many other places and were never seen alive or dead again, gang raping of women and girls was the order of the day.

Nathaniel Manheru should be schooled that there is a big difference between the Holocaust genocide and the Gugurahundi genocide in Zimbabwe. The difference is that, the authors of the extermination of Jews were made to account for their crimes of genocide in Nurnberg/Germany and whereas for Zimbabwe, the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands were left to their own fate. It was that time when the "World Order" was clearly defined as "East and West" "East bloc and West block" "Capitalism and Communism" "The iron curtains." The people of Mathebeleland and Midlands suffered, suffocated and died in various degrees in this "World Order" as Joshua Nkomo was deemed communist oriented. The world shut down on the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands and they forgot them. It was the global ideology at place back then and not the "human rights." It is this justice we want now.  We want to make good of the dead people of Mathebeleland and Midlands who perished, they should not be let down by people like us and the entire world. There should be some accountability to this effect at international level. We want justice now and it's not too late to demand it. We waited too long thinking that our elders will do it for us. What a rude mistake!

We ask the international community to revisit their oversight in the cold war era and assist in sending the perpetrators of genocide that took place in Mathebeleland and Midland to the international court of justice and face those crimes there in the Haig. Here are the names of the genocide that took place in Mathebeleland and Midlands: Robert Gabriel Mugabe; Sydney Sekeramai; Emerson Mnangagwa; Perence Shiri; Enos Nkala and Simbi Mukoba. These people dead or alive should be charged against genocide in the highest court of justice: The Haig, they will be asked how and why they could possibly engage to exterminate the people of Mathebeleland and execute more 20,000 people in Mathebeleland and Midlands. This is the simple justice we demand and no less. We ask this without fear of favors. We cannot afford to be afraid after all those more than 20,000 people who have perished in Mathebeleland and Midlands. It is the closure we want to put in our history so that there is no repeat of such human crimes in our lives or later. We want to say never again in the history of Zimbabwe should there be crimes related to genocide and crimes against humanity.

 The entire criminal cabal of Robert Mugabe should be made to account for these atrocities: Robert Mugabe, Emerson Mnangagwa, Perence Shiri, Simbi Mukoba, and Sydney Sekeramai. They should be made to account for this genocide at the highest court: the Haig. They should explain to the people of Zimbabwe why they treated reports about Gugurahundi genocide and all its atrocities as Zapu lies that were being accepted by the Catholic Church. They would also have to explain why it was that they treated the missionaries with contempt when they accused their Fifth Brigade of genocide whereas before independence, they believed the same Catholic Missionaries when they had made similar claims against racist Ian Douglas Smith.  

It is also quite clear that what happened against the Ndebele people of Mathebeleland and indeed all other minority tribes of Mathebeleland and Midlands constitute a prima facie case that those who committed these despicable atrocities are indicted and brought to justice under the terms of the 1948 Genocide Convention. There is a prima fascia case that between 1982 - 88 Robert Mugabe as then the Prime minister and Commander-in-chief of Armed forces of Zimbabwe, Emerson Mnangagwa Minister of State for Security, in the Prime minister's Office, Sydney Sekeramai as Minister of State for defense in the Prime Minister's Office, Enos Nkala who held several Ministerial portfolios, Simbi Mubako, former Home Affairs Minister, the entire high command, General Solomon Mujuru, as commander of Defense Forces, Josiah Tungamirai as Air Force Marshall, the Commissioner of Police the director of CIO, Colonel Perence Shiri, was also commander of the fifth Brigade and many others in similar positions inflicted upon the people of Mathebeleland and Midlands the international crime of genocide.

There is silent genocide still perpetuated by the listed individuals to this date. Bulawayo is a ghost town and one wonders how the people of Bulawayo manage their daily lives. Companies closed long back. There is no running water the past ten years in most densely populated townships. Unemployment is 95%, the banks, hospitals and schools are the only institution operating in Bulawayo. The life in Mathebeleland North and South is unbearable to say the least. There are food insecurities as there is perennial drought most of the time.  People have been neglected and left to their own devices. The neglect is reminiscent with silent genocide still in another form.  They must be stopped as they continue to be directly involved in the psychological genocide and human rights violations and to this date still retain powerful ministerial positions from which they might yet unleash genocide on the Ndebele people of Mathebeleland and Midlands in Zimbabwe. Stopping them is by sending them to the Haig and face crimes relating to genocide.
