THE DYNAMICS OF ZANU-PF / MDC POLITICS: A PREAMBLE!
GENERAL PREAMBLE:
I have recently promised you that I will try to show you that Mr Edgar Tekere did not tell the truth when he said General Magama Tongogara was not assassinated.
Before I do that, I have to inform you that every writer has a set of objectives when he/she sits down to write whatever he/she decides to write. So it is with all writers, (Mr Tekere and myself included).
The tragedy arises when a writer distorts certain truths or "re-arranges" certain events etc so that a certain "undesirable" outcome does not arise.
I have to inform you that my own objectives in all my writings (esp at this point in time) are as follows:
1. We have a duty to inform our children of the experiences we went through as a Nation.
2. We must also learn from our past so that certain mistakes we made are not repeated.
3. Our future is also determined by how we "behave" now so I sincerely believe "no stone must be left unturned" in our quest to study the events that happened in the past 40 or so years so we can see how they affect our present situation and therefore assisting all "think-tanks" as they attempt to chart a way forward into the future for our beautiful country of Zimbabwe!
I will shock you with certain statements that I will issue and it is very possible that when I am through, I will have no friends either in ZANU-PF or in the MDC.
If it comes to that...then so be it!
I am a Minister of Gospel and that's my bottom line!
I will tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" although I make myself subject to correction where I will have gone wrong on certain details etc.
I have had the priviledge of communicating with Ex-Combatants both from ZIPRA and from ZANLA!
I have the priviledge of inter-acting with, mainly, ZANU-PF and also ZAPU leaders and their general memberships and that being the more so because of being held in high esteem as a Minister of the Gospel and also because of my being out-spoken on various issues which I will relate as we go on and also because of my involvement in a bit of "broadcasting" as I went on 3FM in support of the Land Reform Programme early 2003.
My prayer and hope is that, you, the reader will see that the only way forward at this point in time is not Elections but a very delicate process of Dialogue and National Reconciliation.
It is your Democratic Right to agree with me or to vehemently "attack" me as I intend to do both Mr Edgar Tekere and his "new-found-friend" Ibbo Mandaza!
MY SPECIAL REQUEST TO YOU, THE READER:
Please be very much open minded!
Your long-held perceptions eg of Robert Mugabe may be "shattered!"
You may discover that Mr Robert Mugabe in many instances may not only be "innocent" of certain things he is generally accused of but in many situations he may have been completely ignorant of them!
Of course, in a "sizable" number of these happenings, he was only really "black-mailed" into being party to them!
May The Almighty God bless us all as we all await this "delicate" submission!
