It is like a jersey infested with lice. The only solution is to burn it. Haudzipedzi kutswanya inda dzacho! Who would have thought at 1980 that Zimbabwe would be like this?
Two things describe why my party is in this situation: Chi-shefu, which is the appetite to want to be hero worshiped and averse to criticism; and Cronyism, which is rewarding those who turn a blind eye to evil but are quick to hero worship the leader. The effect of these was felt throughout the country and I will observe it in stages, tears running down my cheeks.
Agriculture
Our economy was mainly Agro-based and so I don’t dispute that we needed to address the land issue. Although it pains me to say so, Ian Smith’s agricultural policy was one of the best, love him or hate him. The guy had devised methods to prevent soil erosion in the whole country by putting in laws that prohibit random agricultural activities at water channels or near rivers.
He also introduced a mandatory contour digging programme throughout the country. Our people hated this and the song “Nhamo Yemakandiwa” came out of this hatred. But little did our people know that it was for their benefit and during the war, we were stupid enough to gain cheap political millage at pungwes ordering people to destroy those makandiwa. Now rivers are all sand, most areas in the former TTLs are just gullies and with dry rivers comes drought.
Smith also made sure that cattle would dip every week and he collected cattle taxes, something which our people also did not like. Selling one’s agricultural produce or cattle was done in open markets or auctions and people got value for money for their hard work.
Nobody listened
The first land reform programme yielded very little for the country. Some money was thrown here and there with Britain saying they paid £64 million so that we could buy land and redistribute it to poor black people. But all the prime land went to us the chefs. I got mine for free but I warned people in my party that this system does not work. One day it will explode but no one listened to me. We needed to identify real farmers so that we don’t disturb agriculture. But no one listened. So all of us in the first Cabinet, Politburo and Central Committee got free farms.
A few from the former ZAPU also got their free bits. The useless land was then given to the few junior party members who wanted to use it. But still the objective was the same, to reward people in my party for loyalty to the Chef, my party leader and the military system that he was creating for his own personal security while some of us were made to make do with very little security unless we were ministers.
Industry & Commerce
Love him or hate him, Smith had managed to build a solid economy under sanctions and had also managed to find ways of beating the sanctions. We hit him hard when we bombed the BP Shell tanks in Salisbury which later forced him to negotiate with us at Lancaster House, but his economy was good. The Rhodesian Dollar we inherited was strong. We called it the Zimbabwe dollar. The exchange rate in 1980 was one dollar to one pound.
Don’t listen to my party cry crocodile tears about sanctions. The only thing we achieved was to find a scapegoat in the form of sanctions but my party destroyed a thriving industry that we inherited from Smith. High inflation started company closures, unemployment, social chaos and of course you all know that we helped form MDC through our mismanagement of the economy.
Politics
Since the time of the liberation struggle, our people have not rested. They were beaten, killed during the war by our troops for sometimes flimsy excuses of being witches or traitors. Some overzealous mjibhas were complicit in the torture of our people. And we did not stop this until now. We only extended the methods of torture and murder and included rape of women as punishment to anyone who does not like our party.
So the people of Matebeleland think that they are the first to be victims of torture and murder by my party. No, it started way before 1980. During the war, rape was structured because our troops could sleep with any girl they liked in the villages, VanaChimbwido. We the chefs were also helping ourselves with girls at refugee camps in Maputo and elsewhere. I don’t want to open old wounds Vana Ve Zimbabwe, but this is fact. Any parent who refused to hand over their daughters to Pungwes would meet death. And attending pungwes was compulsory and I guess you still see this disease by my party up to now.
The mixture of socialism, which we knew little about but just adopted to please the Chinese and North Koreans, and capitalism, which we admired, contributed to the destruction of the economy. It was like mixing a donkey and a lion. It failed. So Gukurahundi and all the evil things that happened in our country have their roots in our activities before independence and also the one party state idea which aimed at making our leader Mugabe a God, like what we were witnessing in North Korea being done to the late Kim Ill Sung .
Up to now, Mugabe still dreams of that, that’s why anyone who has cheated him by praising him has been rewarded heavily. Ask “Obedient son” Obert Mpofu how all of a sudden he found himself surrounded with diamond money.
We will discuss our vision for a new Zimbabwe together next week, but for now Zimbabwe go en masse to vote the people in and my party out. Victory is certain and we will defend our victory with our blood. – Asijiki, Ndatenda, Baba Jukwa
Post published in: News
Our day has arrived. If we have to force the issue let it be. Mugabe and his few cronies do not even know how to fire a gun. They were chased by the Rhodesians during the bush war and if they persist in calling us Rhodesians – we will show them that they must run faster than a cheeta to escape the PEOPLE of the NEW ZIMBABWE !
NO RETREAT – NO SURRENDER ! Asijiki…
What truth. Thank you for your honesty. Be safe please. Zimbabwe needs you
To face up to the truth often hurts but your words are profound and we respect you deeply for your candor and courage. Pamberi ne Prosperity for the long suffering people of Zimbabwe.
Thank you
“Do you hear the people sing singing the songs of angry men …” I hope the people can stand up against the odds. Thanks Baba J for the awakening and courage to spell it out.
Just U know Who ‘am – JUKWA
There are many of us who have watched a party that we loved slowly sink into hero-worship, incompetence, murder and corruption. By letting the will of the people prevail on July 31, ZANU-PF itself will also be liberated. It will then either renew or begin to disintegrate..but at least it will be given those options. Thank you baba Jukwa for lighting a candle in the darkness.. may the flames grow.
ITS TRUE DAD. ZIMBABWEAN PEOPLE NEEDS AREAL MAN LIKE YOU.
I was given a message from the Lord written on a paper in a vision. The Lord was saying that he has completely set free Zimbabwe from oppressive leadership; it is already done and that we should sound the alarm! What should our response be? To declare it in prayer and thank God for it even before we see it. God first works in the spirit and then later things manifest in the natural.
I can see that you still worship white people. Your mind is not liberated.
wow even my dad told me the same before he died. it is hard to tell someone because no one was trustworthy by that time. i admired the past knowing that our future as Zimbabweans were bleak. we were taught that a white man is the African devil, who is here to exploit and take everything to their country. i don’t believe in that shit. today i felt better after the vote. i feel like a bird flying. thanks BJ.

Interesting article there. With the benefit of hindsight so many truths.
I cannot help wondering what the results would be if ALL Zims throughout the world were able to vote in the elections.
Also what Zimbabwe would be like if there were no differentiations between different tribes, colours and religions and all worked together to take the country forward.
