Cry Zimbabwe Twenty Years On by Peter Stiff

 

Cry Zimbabwe tells how Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF came to political power in Zimbabwe in 1980 after British and Commonwealth supervised elections. Acclaimed by the British Government and others free and fair, in reality the process was a sham. It had been seriously flawed by a murderous campaign of intimidation conducted against the black population by the political commissars of ZANLA ZANU-PFs military wing. Having got away with it in 1980, Mugabe repeated these brutal tactics in the 1985, 1990 and 1995 election campaigns. The result was a Parliament packed with ZANU-PF MPs, with virtually no political opposition. The constitution was changed at will to suit the values of Mugabe and his ruling elite.

Stiff tells how in the 1980s ex-Rhodesians were recruited by SADF to gather intelligence and destabilize Zimbabwe. How the strike jets at Thornhill Air Base were destroyed in a raid by Special Forces. How its armour came within a whisper of total destruction and how its major armoury at Inkomo Barracks was destroyed and much more.

He details for the first time the bitter fighting between ZANU-PF and ZAPU elements of the National army that occurred in Bulawayo in 1981 and how it was put down by elements of former Rhodesian Security Forces. Also, how Mugabe suppressed the report of the Commission of Enquiry that looked into it.

Stiff describes how in the early 1980s the North Korean formed ex-ZANLA guerillas into a new 5-Brigade and trained it as a murder machine. It was launched into Matabeleland in 1983. Its targets were unarmed and helpless men, women and children, the aged, the infirm anyone as long as they were Ndebele. The world stood by paying lip service to caring while they systematically murdered some 15,000 people and beat, raped, starved, maimed and tortured countless thousands more.
