When Robert Mugabe with the backing of his Communist bosses successfully manipulated the Western international community into believing what evil racist oppressors the Rhodesian Government was and how they should be eliminated like dogs so that he could be installed as the saviour of the people of Zimbabwe, the West literally fell over themselves to comply.They licked, kissed, sucked and thrusted his black ass into power in Zimbabwe and then sat back and for the next decade and a half had a back-slapping party of self congratulation and a “See we told you so….” smugness of revelation at what a highly educated man Mugabe was and what a guru of African Politics he was and of course what a jewel Zimbabwe was against the backdrop of absolute chaos that Africa had become.
They conveniently ignored the fact that Zimbabwe, the jewel that it was, was inherited by Mugabe as a viable working economy with a functional infrastructure that had, by way of testimony to the resourcefulness of white Rhodesians emerged from 14 years of total international sanctions with a Rhodesian Dollar that was worth nearly two US$.Then “Mad Bob” this man of 7 degrees awarded by various respectable international institutes of learning proceeded to “Govern” Zimbabwe.
His first priority was the elimination of any viable political opposition in the form of Zimbabwe’s second largest black ethnic group and set about employing the services of his Korean trained death squad known as the 5th Brigade to murder 20-25 000 of them in rural settlements and chuck them down mine shafts and into mass graves around the country. An interesting fact about this ethnic cleansing exercise is that more civilian Matabele people were murdered in this short period in the early 80’s than the total amount of people killed during the so-called “Liberation Struggle." Most of those killed in the struggle were unarmed rural civilians killed by communist terrorist thugs of Mugabe’s ZANLA infiltrators during the 70’s. Mugabe has the blood of many tens of thousands of unarmed civilians on his hands and yet was hailed internationally as a hero although his atrocities were comprehensively documented and were common k nowledge internationally. The international response to this after years and years of howls of outrage about the Rhodesian Government, was hardly an audible murmur.
Moving down the road eighteen years hence: Mugabe now has no political opposition of any significance. He is firmly ensconced as dictator of Zimbabwe and the economy is starting to fracture. The people of Zimbabwe are disgruntled, disenfranchised and their quality of life is many times worse than it was under the “Racist” Rhodesian Government. In a typical African tin pot dictator manner, the rumblings of discontent spur Mugabe to regroup his inactive and disgruntled constabulary and armed forces to quell any possible uprising and is shocked to discover a general attitude of malcontent amongst his armed forces. This situation has all the makings of a military coup leading to a full scale civil war. Mugabe astutely enough recognizes that it was about time that he delivered on the promises of the “Liberation” struggle and fulfilled the expectations of his cadres of white men’s farms, houses cars and women. In short order a pathetically stupid and overtly black racist propaganda programme is launched targeting white people who have remained behind in Zimbabwe to contribute to the impossible task of an integrated Zimbabwean society and who just happen to be the mainstay of the Zimbabwean economy and whites are identified as the cause of all the ills that Zimbabwe is suffering. Every casualty of Mugabe’s buffoonery and basically insane governance is assigned to the subversive presence and activities of the country's few remaining whites and emphasis placed on their ownership of commercially viable farm land and business...........................To be continued
