#HeroesDay
The concept of hero has been corrupted in Zimbabwe. Despite fighting in the liberation struggle some of the war veterans later became rogue elements who went on to harass, terrorise and kill people, making them villains and monsters not worthy of national recognition.
The concept of hero has been corrupted in Zimbabwe. Despite fighting in the liberation struggle some of the war veterans later became rogue elements who went on to harass, terrorise and kill people, making them villains and monsters not worthy of national recognition.
The late war veteran and Zimbabwe National Army Brigadier-General Benjamin Mabenge (Retired) who died recently was declared a national hero by government, despite his record of participating in the Gukurahundi massacres and terrorising his own Kwekwe community, a major tragedy.
According to declassified South African Military Intelligence documents, Mabenge was part of Zimbabwean army commanders who met apartheid South Africa generals in 1982 to discuss how to deal with Zipra and uMkhonto weSizwe (ANC armed wing) forces operating in Matabeleland region.
