President Mnangagwa has appointed Frederick Shava,Zim's ambassador to UN, as his new foreign minister. Speaking in parliament in the early 80s Shava once said "I advise strongly the Mini of State Security 2 demand from dissidents & dissident supporters 2 eyes for one..#Asakhe

Bulawayo city council used to be one of the best run councils in the country and the region. This was becoz in 1980 ZAPU lost the national elections and deployed its best brains at the local level where they had won.#Asakhe
ZAPU had a gvt in waiting. So people who were supposed to be ministers, directors, Perm sec, etc became councilors and technocrats at a local level. They set a very high standard of running a local authority
But in recent years we started electing stone-throwers as councilors and the results are there for everyone to see.
Chief Munhuwepayi Mangwende who was Biggie Matiza's uncle a strong ZAPU activist and the one who went with Matiza to Zambia was not declared a National hero when he died .#Asakhe
There was a popular song in this area that went like, "Nkomo hatina zvikoro, Nkomo tinoda zvikoro".
In 1961 Munhuwepayi was deposed as Chief Mangwende for involvement in nationalist politics.He was later He was later detained at Gonakudzingwa .
So are we saying everyone who crossed into Zambia is a war vet?
Nitram properties was set up by ex Zpra combatants. About 15 000 combatants contributed ZW$50 each raising a total of ZW$750 000. There was also cash that was left from the war.
The original idea was to fund ex-combatants who had been demobilized and it was feared they won't be able to find jobs. Then it was agreed the combatants could work in ZPRA owned companies.
I have read a lot of bios the late ZPRA Commander Stanley Gagisa Doko Nleya and there is little that is said about him after 1980. Any special reason why? #Asakhe
Talking to Gagisa in 2018. he said " We used to think that ZPRA military training was the toughest guerilla training South of the Sahara until we went to Lebanon. Gagisa was attached to to Palestine Liberation Organisation 1974-75.
He was stationed South of Beirut at a PLO camp called Jalub ,10 kilometres from Hebron . He was with Ananias Gwenzi(General Valerio Sibanda). Elias Ndou, Alexander Assaf Katema and Joel Dambudzo.
