He reads wildly and has read books by some renowned writers and prominent people like Ndabaningi Sithole, Joshua Nkomo's Story of my life, Perhaps Tomorrow by a white farnmer who had been captured by guerillas and taken to Mozambique, Tekere is book, I also read Smith book. Perhaps Tomorrow was my best reading.
I have read on line stories about the history of the struggle for Zimbabwe's independency and also has read what I call historical fraud books mainly by ZanuPf officials. I have ready the book on Gukurahundi by the Catholic bishops conference. I have read so many magazines and newspapers. I enjoy internet postings about Zimbabwe.
He became an MDC member soon after its formation buying his membership card at what is now Zimrights offices. He though did not become too much of an active member taking a back seat most probably having been discouraged by the language of one of the NCA members who talked what Mashie was to tell him it was nonsense. The man was Brian Kagoro. How did this happen?
We went for a match for a new constitution and we gathered at Causeway Post Office building so that we much to African Unity square from there. As people prepared to much riot police descended on us and told us that the much was illegal and we were to disperse. We were given some seconds to disperse and they started beating people.
They picked Mike Auret and Grace Kwinjeh and bundled them into a land rover truck. I was one of the people who was voiceforous to match. Kagoro maybe trying to take leadership of the much felt challenged and he accused some of us of being zanupf cadres sent to disrupt the match and cause mayhem to give police excuse to beat us up. That was crap and nonsense and I told him off. I told him the whole purpose was to match for a new constitution and knowing zanupf and its state security apparatus would not allow us to match anyway so why not bite the bullet. I told him f he thinks i am a zanupf cadre then fine i also need a new constitution and would not mind being in front matching to the venue.
From the way he looked at me i found out that i may be creating some enemies and saw that this is not the type of people to lead us into a new Zimbabwe if his way of looking at others is like that, selfish.As we argued a group came through Julius Nyerere matching and suddenly our group joined in. If he was not embarrassed by this I do not know if he would be embarassed even if he wets himself.
That was the day I met Morgan Tsvangirayi. he was in his faded jeans and very simple. Little did i know he was to be the President of MDC, The President of Zimbabwe if ZanuPf had not played a coup-de -dat on him, Prime Minister in the GNU which is proving difficult to run. Many people gave a lot of speaches the people like Wurayi Zembe, Makombe, Madhuku and Tsvangirayi. I still have the t-shirt I got that day.
