Canaan Banana was Vice-President of the African National Congress, but soon was forced to flee Rhodesia. He first went to Japan, before moving to Washington, D.C., United States, where he studied at Wesley Theological Seminary. #Zimbabwe

I've seen an increase in tribe based discussion on ZwTwitter most fueled by the usual characters who have choosen to be different human beings by attaching tribe labels they know well will trigger toxic conversations. We need to learn to embrace our diversity of traditions.

They will not teach you about him in Zimbabwe history books. He is not considered worthy of remembering by some who have chosen to label his leadership qualities as less significant because he was not actively involved in party politics but national governance. #Zimbabwe

Though the position was largely ceremonial it did help with separation of powers as President was Commander-in-Chief.

The late President Banana was not an Executive President with political power but a Stateman who served Zimbabweans.

Democracy in theory sounds good but in many countries it's just a good sounding reference to cover up for many unethical deeds that are done by powerful and influential individuals and groups to influence political outcomes & most importantly for pursuit of self interest.

If you don't know the correct history of your country you will become a victim of a history distorted by others in order to support their personal pursuits. It helps to dig deeper for answers before you follow what the crowd endorses as truth. #AfricaUnite #Zimbabweansunited
