After nearly three decades being used as appendages and killing
blades of 95- year old Robert Mugabe's autocratic and now increasingly
collapsing regime in Zimbabwe, the 1970-80's national liberation war
heroes, who sacrificed so much for Zimbabwe's independence from brutal
white colonial rule, have at last decided to break ties with the
failed and despotic regime. The War Veteran's bitter war of
independence is a classic example of how national heroes can turn on
the very people they helped liberate. But it is never too late to see
the light. Every human being has it in their hearts to recognise the
wrong they have done and to atone for their mistakes and errors.
Uncle Bob is an octogenarian who can hardly stay awake for more than
10 minutes and yet keeps clinging on to power. His memory is gone, he
wets his pants in public,and is not aware of his sorroundings as age
has caught up with him. Like the 89 year old fart Kayibanda Museveni,
Mugabe has long passed his sell by date and is fit only as a museum
piece or a topic in the history books, and has no role whatseover to
play any more in national leadership. Like Kayibanda Museveni, the Ali
Baba of Uganda and his Forty Rwandan Thieves, who now own Uganda and
shit in the mouths of its hapless citizens for recreation and as a
past time, Uncle Bob also believes that he owns Zimbabwe and that all
Zimbabwean people are his subjects.Every effort made to end his failed
leadership is welcomed by the long-suffering Zimbabwean people, and
all African and peace loving people worldwide.
Although the NRA of Rwandan outlaw Kayibanda Museveni is a ruthless
mercenary occupation force in Uganda, who waged a murderous war of
aggression against the Ugandan nation and people and imposed
Rwandan-Tutsi colonial occupation of the country once known as "The
Pearl of Africa", they too would be forgiven for their crimes if they
disowned Kayibanda Museveni, abandoned criminality and life of
offending and returned to the fold of the law. The Zimbabwean War Vets
have set a good example, which I hope the NRA will follow.

Zimbabwe's war veterans of the 1970s say President Robert Mugabe
should step down for failing to properly run the country and cater for
their needs.
The former freedom fighters told VOA Studio 7 that they are fed up
with President Robert Mugabe's rule as most Zimbabweans are suffering
due to the harsh social and economic situation in the southern African
nation.
Their fury stems from the suspension of their chairperson Christopher
Mutsvangwa, who has been recalled from parliament and fired from the
ruling party for allegedly fanning factionalism.
They said they would fight to the bitter end to end President Mugabe's
dictatorship.
Mutsvangwa has been linked to a Zanu PF faction called Generation 40
that is backing First Lady Grace Mugabe to succeed Zimbabwe's
92-year-old president. The other faction, Team Lacoste, is said to be
led by Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The two have denied that they are leading factions in the ruling
party, which expelled former Vice President Joice Mujuru and her
colleagues for allegedly attempting to topple Mr. Mugabe. The
dismissed former Zanu PF members have dismissed these allegations as
tailor-make to enhance Mnangagwa's chances of succeeding President
Mugabe.
SUCCESSION ISSUES
The war veterans say nobody will stop them from discussing succession
issues in the party. Mutsvangwa's war veterans group recently pledged
support for protesters calling for social, economic and political
transformation in Zimbabwe.
In a highly-charged meeting at Raylton Sports Club in Harare, the war
veterans declared that they are fully behind Mutsvangwa despite his
sacking from parliament and cabinet. They alleged that Mutsvangwa is
being victimized for speaking against corruption.
Spokesperson for the National Liberation War Veterans' Association,
Douglas Mahiya, told Studio 7 their leadership has been victimized
over the years for speaking against corruption.
CORRUPT MINISTERS
Mahiya claimed that Zimbabwean ministers are all corrupt. There was no
immediate government reaction over these allegations.
Mahiya said the war veterans are also angry because despite the
so-called great indaba they held a couple of months ago with their
patron, President Robert Mugabe, all the resolutions made at the event
have not yet been implemented.
He said if Zanu PF is sidelining them because they are now being seen
as senior citizens, then all old people in the party should leave.
BOYCOTTING HEROES DAY
Abraham Tsikwa, a Mashonaland East representative, suggested to the
meeting that war veterans should boycott this year's heroes
celebrations to be held next month as a protest over the way the
government is treating them.
Another war veteran, Hoyini Bhila, vice chairperson for Harare
province, said war veterans have been marginalized and ill-treated for
too long.
Bhila encouraged the war veterans to take the government head on.
LEADERSHIP CONCERNS
A female war veteran, who only wanted to be identified as Nehanda
Nyakasikana, said while they support President Mugabe and would back
him in the 2018 presidential election, they are disturbed by the
continuous firing of their leadership.
The war veterans allege that corruption by government ministers has
brought the country to its knees. Dennis Ndlovu, another war veteran,
stressed that they want government to take stern measures against all
corrupt state officials.
The war veterans also called for an end to victimization over speaking
out on President Mugabe's succession. They claimed they have the right
to speak on who they want to take over when Mr. Mugabe leaves office.
The war veterans' meeting which is still underway, will come up with a
communiqué on the actions they will take over their isolation by Zanu
PF government.
