The past week i meet a lot of former ZPRA cadres & had a lot of stories.One of the person who was discussed a lot was ED becoz at one point he was part of ZPRA.These are some the things. Additions and subtractions are welcome #Asakhe.
Around 1957 ED 's family relocates to Zambia
Around 1963-64 he is recruited by ZAPU and he goes for military training in Egypt
On August 8 1963 ZANU breaks away from ZAPU. Around the same time ED leaves ZAPU and joins ZANU
Emmerson leads the first group of ZANLA recruits for military training in China
on 4 july 1964 Petrus Obertholtzer a white farmer was ambushed and killed by a group of ZANLA cadres know as the Crocodile gang led by Ndangama.
Ndagama escaped and become the first commander of the first intake of trainees at Itumbi camp ,Tanzania .The camp opened in 1965.
My ques here is who were other members of the crocodile gang.
When ED comes from china he is deployed in Zim and he is arrested by the Rhodesians. He is sentenced to death by spared becoz he was young.
He serves time in jail and when he comes back he goes back to Zambia.When he gets to Zambia he goes back to school and studies law.
Sometime in the 70s Tongogara brings back ED becoz ZANUPF wanted educated people.
