In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

As you go to bed tonight say a little prayer for @bbmhlanga . He is spending the night in Harare Central Police detention charged with “Transmission of data message inciting violence or damage to property.” He is scheduled to appear in court tomorrow morning at 9am. Dhara’s is being punished for doing his legitimate and lawful duties as a journalist. The state is weaponizing the law and state institutions to silence press freedom and freedom of speech. This reprehensible conduct is the hallmark of dictatorships. #JournalismIsNotACrime

This is Jameson Timba in prison uniform, a very senior opposition leader in Zimbabwe.
You must know him today if you didn’t already.

He is in jail after being arrested last week with his son and 70 other young people who had met at his home to commemorate the 1976 South African Youth Day.
Timba loves mentoring young people!!!

Jameson Timba has lost a lot from supporting the struggle against tyranny in Zimbabwe.
That is why every sane Zimbabwean should stand up for him and the 70 others who are in jail with him!

This is a man I met around 2006 when he owned a thriving IT business in Harare and Bulawayo.
He chose to support the struggle against corrupt rule and tyranny and lost all the contracts he had.

He was part of Morgan Tsvangirai’s political backbone.
I remember meeting him at O.R. Tambo Airport in September 2008 when I was flying back home with Morgan Tsvangirai.

Timba had just landed from Harare.
He was fleeing from the 2008 post-election violence, while Tsvangirai was returning home after being in hiding in Botswana for months.

We were driven to the airport by Strive Masiyiwa’s security and team of drivers.
My then boss, Tim Singleton, who now heads the Sky News foreign desk, flew me to Johannesburg to be on Morgan Tsvangirai’s flight back home.

I was the ITV News producer covering Zimbabwe and I had a very good relationship with Tsvangirai who agreed that I would get exclusive access to film for our News at Ten programme on ITV News in the UK.

As we went through VIP security at O.R. Tambo, Tsvangirai was told that one of his lieutenants had landed and wanted to see him before he flew out to Harare. It was Timba!
“Do you have money,” Tsvangirai asked Timba.

With tears overwhelming him, Timba simply said, “I will be fine, but our people have been brutalised and are in submission.”

This man is a warrior for democracy who never makes noise about what he has done for the struggle or what he has lost because of it.
It makes me cry when men like him are persecuted, lose everything, and we fail to even talk about their persecution and suffering!

Timba shouldn’t be in jail for meeting with young people at his private residence.
The captured and shameless courts in Harare must release this man and the 70 others!
They were beaten up. Some can’t even walk, and yet ZANU-PF wants to join the @commonwealthsec while doing this!

Remember Timba in your prayers. Remember the 70 young people who were arrested with him.
This shouldn’t happen in a democratic country;m, well, Zimbabwe is a dictatorship!

It's gut-wrenching to think of the injustices Timba and the 70 are facing, and the brazen abuse of power by the authorities.

It is sad that the recognised CCC faction is quiet while Timba and the 70 others are being persecuted!
We cannot let their stories be forgotten or overlooked.

Mugabe was a power-hungry opportunist who left a trail of death & disunity in the struggle from the moment he was Sec for Info & Publicity of ZAPU, especially after Detente in 1974. Mugabe was the Tshabangu of 1977 with his 3 enforcers Tongogara, Rex and Mnangagwa.

The real soldiers who had opened the front in Mozambique were kept for abt 3 yrs in pits as prisoners just so Mugabe can rule. He connived with Tongogara to kill Cuthbert Chimedza who the High Command wanted to take over the overall commander. He died in a car accident which Tongogara "survived" on the eve of the transition. You won't read about this because the pple who teach you will never want you to know.

You will never read about how Tongogara killed John Mataure point blank. You will be told that Dakarai Badza and Nhari were traitors yet, Badza had been deployed into Rhodesia for 3 consecutive yrs without rest while Tongogara who was shagging his wife in Lusaka. Tongogara then executed him. I am not the one who wrote this, you can find it in Fay Chung's book who was i n Zambia at the time. You can also ask Chemist Ncube who survived by a whisker.

You will rarely read abt how Mugabe connived with other powerhungry folks to dismantle ZIPA which had become revitalized the struggle from 1975 to 1977 after the killing of Chitepo and you know by who! Ask pple like Sekai Holland why they fled to Malawi & why they were so scared of Cletus Chigowe....

This history you won't find it in People Making History textbooks that were written to romanticize opportunists at the expense of the real pple who sacrifized themselves for the Utopian agenda of a free and equal Zimbabwe.

Your history books will skip pple like Ndangana, Felix Santana Mupunga (Pictured above). They skip John Mataure, Chemist Ncube, Harry Tanganeropa (Happison Muchechetere), Phebion Shonhiwa, Hamadziripi, Mudzi , Dzinashe etc

Your history will skip one of the first female ZANLA commanders Sheba Tavagwisa because she was opposed to the deposition of ZIPA in 1977. The books will skip that her husband Edgar Moyo who was ZIPRA but seconded to ZIPA was executed by Tsoka under the instruction of Tongogara end of 1976.

These are pple that will never get the recognition they deserve because at some point they disagreed with Mugabe on ideological or strategic views. These are the pple who executed the struggle from 1963 to 1977 when Mugabe, ED, Sithole and others were in prison.

History favors the victors but some of us know that history is pregnant with unknown heros whose names were erased by those who felt their lights would dim if recognition is duly given. Ndatenda!

Addendum: This is Felix Santana. He was one of the first pple to join the war. He died in a car accident together with his wife in 1981. His children had to live in an orphanage for 10 yrs. He is buried at Warren Hills. Remember his name
