What a White Man Told Me in Zimbabwe in 1. I have no idea whether the white man I am writing about is still alive or not. He gave me an understanding of what actually happened to us Africans, and how sinister it was, when we were colonized. His name was Ronald Stanley Peters, Homicide Chief, Matabeleland, in what was at the time Rhodesia. He was the man in charge of the case they had against us, murder. I was one of a group of ANCZAPU guerillas that had infiltrated into the Wankie Game Reserve in 1. Rhodesian African rifles RAR, and the Rhodesian Light Infantry RLI. We were now in the custody of the British South Africa Police BSAP, the Rhodesian Police. I was the last to be captured in the group that was going to appear at the Salisbury Harare High Court on a charge of murder, 4 counts.

I will hang all of you, but I must tell you that you are good fighters but you cannot win. Tell me, Inspector, I shot back, are you not contradicting yourself when you say we are good fighters but will not win Good fighters always win. Mr. Bopela, even the best fighters on the ground, cannot win if information is sent to their enemy by high ranking officials of their organizations, even before the fighters begin their operations. Even though we had information that you were on your way, we were not prepared for the fight that you put up, the Englishman said quietly. We give due where it is to be given after having met you in battle. That is why I am saying you are good fighters, but will not win. Thirteen years later, in 1. I went to Police Headquarters in Harare and asked where I could find Detective Inspector Ronald Stanley Peters, retired maybe. President Robert Mugabe had become Prime Minster and had released all of us. I was told by the white officer behind the counter that Inspector Peters had retired and now lived in Bulawayo. I asked to speak to him on the telephone. The officer dialed his number and explained why he was calling. I was given the phone, and spoke to the Superintendent, the rank he had retired on. We agreed to meet in two days time at his house at Matshe amhlophe, a very up market suburb in Bulawayo. I travelled to Bulawayo by train, and took a taxi from town to his home. I had last seen him at the Salisbury High Court after we had been sentenced to death by Justice L Lewis in 1. His hair had greyed but he was still the tall policeman I had last seen in 1. He smiled quietly at me and introduced me to his family, two grown up chaps and a daughter. Lastly came his wife, Doreen, a regal looking Englishwoman. He is one of the chaps I bagged during my time in the Service. We sent him to the gallows but he is back and wants to see me, Doreen. He smiled again and ushered me into his study. He offered me a drink, a scotch whisky I had not asked for, but enjoyed very much I must say. We spent some time on the small talk about the weather and the current news. So, Ron began, they did not hang you are after all, old chap Congratulations, and may you live many more We toasted and I sat across him in a comfortable sofa. A man does not die before his time, Ron I replied rather gloomily, never mind the power the judge has or what the executioner intends to do to one. I am happy you got a reprieve Thula, Ron said, but what was it based on I am just curious about what might have prompted His Excellency Clifford Du Pont, to grant you a pardon. Nonsense In The Dark Rar' title='Nonsense In The Dark Rar' />You were a bunch of unrepentant terrorists. I do not know Superintendent, I replied truthfully. Like I have said, a man does not die before his time. He poured me another drink and I became less tense. So, Mr. Bopela, what brings such a lucky fellow all the way from happy Harare to a dull place like our Bulawayo down hereSuperintendent, you said to me after you had finished your investigations that you were going to hang all of us. You were wrong we did not all hang. You said also that though we were good fighters we would not win. You were wrong again Superintendent we have won We are in power now. I told you that good fighters do win. The Superintendent put his drink on the side table and stood up. He walked slowly to the window that overlooked his well manicured garden and stood there facing me. So you think you have won ThulaIt is a funky blaxploitation movie to rival Shaft and a pretty fair remake of Carter, much better than the Stallone nonsense of a couple of years back. What have you won, tell me. I need to know. We have won everything Superintendent, in case you have not noticed. Every thing We will have a black president, prime minister, black cabinet, black members of Parliament, judges, Chiefs of Police and the Army. Every thing Superintendent. I came all the way to come and ask you to apologize to me for telling me that good fighters do not win. You were wrong Superintendent, were you notHe went back to his seat and picked up his glass, and emptied it. He poured himself another shot and put it on the side table and was quiet for a while. So, you think you have won everything Mr. I have no idea whether the white man I am writing about is still alive or not. He gave me an understanding of what actually happened to us Africans, and how sin. Entropy. A subject that comes back again and again and again and again and again in this blog. And so does the question in my inbox what exactly is entropy. Bopela, huh I am sorry to spoil your happiness sir, but you have not won anything. You have political power, yes, but that is all. We control the economy of this country, on whose stability depends everybodys livelihood, including the lives of those who boast that they have political power, you and your victorious friends. Maybe I should tell you something about us white people Mr. Bopela. I think you deserve it too, seeing how you kept this nonsense warm in your head for thirteen hard years in prison. When I get out I am going to find Ron Peters and tell him to apologize for saying we wouldnt win, you promised yourself. Now listen to me carefully my friend, I am going to help you understand us white people a bit better, and the kind of problem you and your friends have to deal with.

When that time came, we decided, the African should not be in a position to rule his newly found country without taking his cue from us. Microsoft Works Download Gratis Italiano Insurance. We should continue to rule, even after political power has been snatched from us, Mr. Bopela. How did you plan to do that my dear Superintendent, I mocked. Very simple, Mr. Bopela, very simple, Peters told me. We started by changing the country we took from you to a country that you will find, many centuries later, when you gain political power. It would be totally unlike the country your ancestors lived in it would be a new country. Let us start with agriculture. We introduced methods of farming that were not known I Africa, where people dug a hole in the ground, covered it up with soil and went to sleep under a tree in the shade. We made agriculture a science. To farm our way, an African needed to understand soil types, the fertilizers that type of soil required, and which crops to plant on what type of soil. We kept this knowledge from the African, how to farm scientifically and on a scale big enough to contribute strongly to the national economy. We did this so that when the African demands and gets his land back, he should not be able to farm it like we do. He would then be obliged to beg us to teach him how. Is that not power, Mr.
