They killed Susan Tsvangirai, no doubt about it!

Constant mistrust, constant mobility and constant vigilance is the advice I gave to fellow comrades when they opted to enter the Government of National Unity with ZANU PF. Today I mourn the death of Mrs Susan Tsvangirai and I repeat the advice; constant mistrust, constant mobility and constant vigilance.

Many would want us to believe that this was just a normal accidental accident, I will not buy this. I have reasons to. I know my enemy. I know how he operates and I know how ruthless and cunning he is. This has Z ANU PF in capital letters written all over it.

Cdes, do you remember what happened in 1975 in Zambia. Who killed Herbert Chitepo? Well officially it was a car bomb planted by the Rhodesian forces but who can explain to me why it only happened when somebody had been released from jail after détente?


Do you remember how Webster Gwauya, Henry Hamadziripi and many more were tortured and kept in dugout prisons in Mozambique for simply questioning the conduct of Robert Mugabe in 1978. Emmerson Munangagwa and Robert Mugabe presided over the kangaroo court that found them guilty. I am speaking here of a system that knows how to swallow its own people whenever they question the built of the same house they are in.

ZANU PF comrades is a octopussian system that knows no mercy nor man except those at its core. It has little regard for life whether innocent or dirty. All it knows is the art of death and covert operations.


I want to prove to you today that the death of Mai Tsvangirai was not accidental, rather it was a well-planned attempt on Morgan Tsvangirai’s life. Firstly, this comes at a time when ZANU PF has realised that they can no longer continue to hold ultimate power in the presence of Morgan Tsvangirai. There is no other option but to eliminate him.

Time was ripe now and the setting had been managed. ZANU PF has great plotters but I think this time they went too far with their elaborate plan. Firstly, they know very well that the world would be asking questions like:

They could have killed him before so why would they do it now given the GNU?

To answer this question; ZANU PF tried on many occasions to kill Mr Tsvangirai but most of the time it was half-hearted. It was so because Mr Tsvangirai posed little danger then to the hegemony of ZANU PF. To them, they still had total control and the existence of Mr Tsvangirai was in no way a threat to their existence. All this changed after the March 2008 elections. Since those election results it has dawned on ZANU PF that Mr Tsvangirai means nothing but an end to their domination. The refusal of the Germany company to assist Reserve Bank in printing worthless money, pressure from neighbouring countries and the solidarity given to MDC by many entities across the globe served to hammer the nail on ZANU PF. Morgan needed to be exterminated.

But ZANU PF is not an idle mind, it has very complex thinkers and strategists. Killing Tsvangirai was always a last resort; rather there existed other means by which they could curtail the MDC momentum. They are there for all to see. They sought to immobilise him by refusing him a passport, they trumped up mercenary accusations by bombing their own police stations. They arrested Gandi Mudzingwa, Jestina Mukoko and many more to try and discredit Tsvangirai as a bloodthirsty and unpatriotic war-monger. This failed.

They were forced by global and public pressure to enter the power-sharing deal. Mugabe was clear even on September 11. He had been forced. They have continued to frustrate the whole process of transition, unfortunately the more they try the more they realise Morgan is resilient and unwilling to walk away from the deal.

They have seen the potential of MDC to deliver at a time when the country is crying for a saviour and that alone is not acceptable. So, it has become the priority of ZANU PF to derail the agreement so that they retain unilateral power. Why is Gandi Mudzingwa still behind bars? He is collateral. What about Roy Bennet – a bargaining chip! But MDC is also saying “This time NO NO NO!”.

The only option now is to eliminate the head and face of the struggle. So indeed, there is a GNU on paper but in reality MDC is a threat to ZANU PF and can never be tolerated.

But there is no sign of ZANU PF here, the car they collided with is from USAID?

Like I said, these are elaborate thinkers; unfortunately we now know their behaviour. We have studied their trends and we know them. The Herald reports that Mr Tsvangirai’s landcruiser was hit by a truck belong to an American aid agency. Let us revisit a number of events that ZANU PF has been involved in before.

In February 1982, when arms cache were discovered at Ascort and Hampton farm, ZBC-the state broadcaster – was at hand to report the discovery! Emmerson Munangagwa actually flew from Harare so that he would be there when it happens. Who had told ZBC? Was ZAPU, with one of the country’s best trained intelligence expert Dumiso Dabengwa so dull to the extend that they could hide such a massive horde of arms at such a publicly accessible farm like Hampton? Why was Nkomo not told yet only the night before he had met Mugabe, and had also travelled on the same plane with Munangagwa and Sekeramai to Bulawayo. I know the arms cache was planted by ZANU PF to give credence to the impending pesercution of the Ndebele and Nkomo in particular.

In 2001 we had the case of Cain Nkala who ZANU PF at an instant including Robert Mugabe blamed MDC for his death. I still remember the event so vividly as it was broadcast live on Zimbabwe Television. Who can forget the sight of a visibly terrorised Khetani Sibanda as he pointed exactly on the shallow grave that Nkala had been buried alledegly by the MDC youths. So many questions have been asked. Why was ZBC present? Who had invited them? Why was ZBC that confident that indeed Sibanda would lead them to the place where Nkala was buried. There was a reason and that’s ZANU PF for you.

There are many covert operations which Zimbabwe’s CIO has undertaken on behalf of ZANU PF. Remember the Ari Ben Menashe and Morgan Tsvangirai’s alledged plot to kill Mugabe? Typically, ZANU PF seems not to be a part of all these events yet we know that it has invisible hands controlling the show. The motive was to undermine Morgan’s moral standing.

Who silenced Arch-Bishop Pius Ncube? We all know what happened but we choose to be quiet about it because; just as the CIO intended it to be, it is shameless. We are told it was the husband who engaged a private investigator to plant surveillance equipment in Pius Ncube’s house but we know it was ZANU PF. How can a private investigator afford such expensive material in a country where the police force fails to raise enough to buy speed detectors? Even the husband could not have afforded to pay such services. It is known- they did it.

How many within ZANU PF have died mysterious deaths; Josiah Tongogara, Willie Musarurwa, Chris Ushewokunze, Zororo Duri, Maurice Nyagumbo, Moven Mahachi, Border Gezi, General Gunda , Peter Pamire and many others. We are all made to believe they are just normal accidental deaths or suicides. But why is it that all these people at one point in time would have represented a threat to the continued hold on power by Mugabe?

Just to ask: who is accused of shooting Perence Shiri – Frank Muchirahondo a driver for USAID. Who is accused of causing the death of Susan Tsvangirai – a USAID driver. I smell a rat. There is no sign of CIO or ZANU PF- PERFECT!

I can go on and on by here it is: believe what you want but here is the advice I give to Morgan Tsvangirai – tsuro haiponi ritsva kaviri (You don’t dodge death twice!). Do not trust these people; remember constant mistrust, constant mobility and constant vigilance.

Rest in Peace Susan

We will always remember and cherish the motherly part that you showed to us!
