The Tragedy of Brothers Dzamara: The Meaninglessness of Black Freedom Embodied?

I have been trying to keep away from commenting on the death of Patson Dzamara from cancer since this cuts close to my bone. It is quite tragic that we have to lose someone as young as he was. Even losing an old relative is tragic, but there is the solace that that longevity was a gift from God the Beneficent.

On the Dzamara family, the way this government has treated both Itai and Patson has left me with no other choice but to conclude that we fought the Rhodesians for nothing. If our people are as unsafe today as they were prior to 1980, what freedom can we really talk about? Itai Dzamara disappeared without trace in a black-ruled Zimbabwe much like Edison Sithole disappeared without trace in white-ruled Zimbabwe. We can say Sithole fell victim under raging-war circumstances. With whom is our government at war to justify what happened to Itai Dzamara?

Did the war really end in 1979?

Is it possible that it simply took an insidious complexion but kept on raging?

If we fought to replace an evil white-led government with an equally evil black-led government, I say we actually lost the war. Mandela is quoted telling his compatriots that if the ANC government ever mistreats the South Africans the way the Apartheid government mistreated the South African, they, by Jove, the South African people had every right to do to the ANC government what they did to the Apartheid government! The ZANU(PF) government is doing to the Zimbabweans what the UDI government did to the same people. Think about it.

Mnangagwa needs to tell us what really happened to Itai Dzamara. If he does not do that, the whispers in which he is said to have deliberately infected Patson Dzamara to induce fatal colon cancer will only get wilder and and louder while simultaneously gaining broader acceptance. Mnangagwa's silence may very well be taken to mean that he is culpable in the disappearance of Itai Dzamara and, incredible as it might be, the stunning death of Patson who hard fought very had for the sake of finding out what really happened to his brother.

I am fine with mourning for Patson. Nonetheless, let us also demand the truth, and nothing but the truth, about what really happened to Itai
