‘The Arabs in old times used to say. Four things separate brothers: wealth, women, jealousy, and death. Four things make you lose your value among people: talking too much, laughing too much, lying and gossiping. Four things by which a wife ruins her home: stubbornness, anger, suspicion, and raising her voice. Four things by which a man ruins his home: distance, neglect, harshness, and stinginess.’
General Chiwenga is in another deep call to the nation through a sermon. He says our dear constitution, Lazarus, was sick through the #CAB3 attack by the #oligarchs in Zanu Pf. He was told to help save the constitution, Lazarus, but dis not do so on time. Lazarus died, and CAB
I have just heard that the Zimbabwean Ambassador to Mozambique, Mr Victor Matemadanda, has died.
He was a man who lived a colourful and complex life, at times standing with the people, and at other times pursuing the interests of the regime when it suited him. Such is often the nature of Zimbabwean politics. Yet when people pass away, our first duty is to mourn them and to reflect on the lives they lived.
In most cases, we remember those moments, actions, or words that resonated most deeply with us. For me, this interview more than ten years ago was one of those moments. It was the point at which I took particular notice of Mr Matemadanda as a politician, political activist, war veteran, and influential figure within ZANUPF. In it, he spoke about issues that resonated with me and with millions of other Zimbabweans.
The tragedy, however, is that when his faction eventually gained control of government, it went on to do the very opposite of what he was advocating in this interview. That contradiction remains one of the enduring lessons of Zimbabwean politics.
It is an interview that every Zimbabwean should listen to and reflect upon.
May his soul rest in peace. My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and all those who knew and loved him.
