Agreed. Zim was sold out to the Chinese backed ZANU just because ZAPU had Soviet backing the British and American governments turned a blind eye to election rigging and intimidation and eventually ethnic cleansing. Another pawn on the cold war chess board.

There was NEVER a chance of PF ZAPU uniting with the Rhodesia Front. The two were antithetical to each other.

Hi Russ, Check my lates post Agree fully

zanu pf is a shame, that useless party. It has destroyed a great country.

Sore loser

The Rhodesian Army (Regulars)was 40% Black (2600 Whites, 1800 Black), but the Rhodesian Security Forces were 80% Black (Internal Affairs alone had 15.000 Black Regulars)

I was 11 and I was there, toyi toyed from Mzilikazi

True not millitia movement zanu which was formed on tribal lines

​@@mkhululimzizi5868How was Zanu formed on tribal lines when it was formed at Ian Nkala's house and led by Sithole

ZAPU did not fight

u cant compare chamisa and nkomo, chamisa he is dictactor on e making and a tribalist.

Chamisa's ego is greater than his intelligence

@@mkhululimzizi5868 chamisa is a zero thing.

That's what we wanted and still want

Look you are going against what he was actually saying on the speech.... Do not say amagundwane we shona but instead say not these stupid leaders of today no( shona no ndebele cursing) buh case the leading person if you want, not the tribe God bless you.

Zanu working with Botha apartheid regime to destroy MK.

bloody rubbish zimpirate! your statement is up for argument from millions of people worldwide due to its absolute denial of GUKURAHUNDI!!! mugabe from the v begining wanted a 1 party state and to have zapu and nkomo wiped out completely! real people know those so called dissident's were in actual fact mugabes men! then when gukurahundi came the 5th brigade came and wiped out the matabele for no reason! years after when an enquiry was made bob merely dismissed it as 'a moment of madness'...Cmon dont talk out your a##! nothing can stop all of Zanu from burning in hell for such a treacherous sin! 10s of thousands dead and here you are tlkn cucka you bloody pirate!

@@dalejenkins1558 Zapu guerillas themselves say they had grievances against Mugabe including they were not given enough Ministerial positions,military positions etc.They had motive to rise against Giovernment.Even fact that more than 25% of Zipra cadres left army barracks with their weapons is not in dispute.That happened way before 5th brigade was deployed.

@@zimpiratecoms "grievances"... There we go, you said it yourself! Not enough positions were fairly granted amongst ministers of both ndebele and Shona!? Thus the matabele had a motive to rise up against zanu isn't it?.... Cmon buddy wake up! What would zanu and Shonas had done if they were caught between a rock and a hard place like that? Would they have just sat back in the name of nehanda and sekuru kaguvi and just swallow what zapu was oppressing them with? Cmon wake up my friend... The British after independence put mugabe up to it! They gave him a taste of power and said that's it... Zanu is now in control & the most powerful force in Zim and if u feel the ndebele are a threat you should wipe them out! This is all evident in the fact British soldiers initially trained the new zim army during and after independence plus men like perence shiri received full training from the British right in England from their top training facilities! What was that in aid of? I'm not here to argue with you but I have to say your knowledge on the subject is v amateur... Seems like you have long since been brainwashed by zanu propaganda

@@dalejenkins1558 listen we held an election in Zimbabwe and Zanu PF won by an overwhelming majority of 57 seats to Nkomo's 20 seats and at law where under no obligation to share not even one Cabinet post.But Mugabe out of generosity gave them 4 seats they where not even entitled to and had the audacity to ask for more.They hoped to win out of banditry and terrorism what they lost through an election.Those grievances where stupid and exposed Zapu as the terrorist brats they really are.They should have been grateful.And its surprising that you shifted from a stance of there was never Zapu insurrection to yes there was and its justified they had grievances.Nonsense...That fat guy Nkomo must shut up

and a bloody fool! i know alot of my ndebele kin wont want to hear the truth but joshua nkomo but please this man let the matebele down

@@dalejenkins1558 He had all military might that could have enabled Zipra Zapu to resist and repelle the Zanla Zanu and take the country back. But he chose to bow down to maswina.

I partially agree with you....this men was a disciplined pacifist visionary...who would have turned the tide had he adopted a more radical stance. These history Files show that Mugabe was far less popular than Nkomo.Mugabe was just a Wedge to deflect the influence of the Soviet Union ...created by Magaret Thetcher and entrusted with the task of Preventing socialism in Zimbabwe

They ddnt even exist, just a myth that we were made to believe by Zanu propaganda

Kodwa kube ubaba wazifunela imatabeleland kube singcono kunalokhu esiyikho bakwethu

Joshou Nkomo tells us those guys mis quarading as dissidents were argents of the ruling party Zanu PF
