(London)Former Chikurubi Maximum Security prisoner Simon Mann has released a book that may serve to reveal what truly transpired with the man who reportedly planned to topple an African government with the help of a Zimbabwean army supply of weapons of war.
The book is titled “Cry Havoc”.
Simon Mann, a former British SAS highly trained officer, was arrested just after receiving the weapons in Harare because of his involvement in the plot to overthrow the ruling tyrant of Equatorial Guinea.
Next month 7th March will mark Mann’s 8th year anniversary since his failed mission attempt when he was arrested at Harare international airport in 2004.
Mann is from a strong military background and had connections in the Zimbabwean army. The book may reveal who Mann was actually friends with, news detail Zimbabwean media failed to obtain.
His paternal grandfather served with the Scots Guards in the Great War and his maternal grandfather served as a senior engineer in the South African Division in World War II.
His father and three uncles also served in the Scots Guards in World War II, his father winning two MCs and a DSO. Born into the Mann brewing dynasty, Simon Mann went to Eton and then Sandhurst. The Scots Guards and the SAS followed. Simon then became a businessman, drifting slowly but surely into the world of security consultancy and intelligence for hire.
Mann rejoined the British Army for the first Gulf War, serving on the staff of General Sir Peter de la Billiere. From there, Simon became an oil man, a move which threw him into the Angolan Civil war in 1993. This was followed by his involvement in the civil war in Sierra Leone form 1994 to 1996.
In 2004, he was arrested in Zimbabwe because of his involvement in the plot to overthrow the ruling tyrant of Equatorial Guinea. Simon has seven children and now lives by the sea with his wife, Amanda. The book can bought from the Amazon website

I see no wisdom in attacking a poor country or a developing one so that one gets richer. Nor do I admire one who has gone to countries fighting those countries while those countries have never attacked his. That is why today we have North Korea and Iran refusing to cooperate with the U.N. The world has double standards. Money is not everything. It is neither a sign of wisdom sometimes. This man is indeed an international criminal and he will forever remain so whether he writes books or makes films to make yet more money about his crimes.

kuzvinye,nga ndobasa renyu ana jojjibabencu do they wreck havoc varivega here kana pane maAFRICANS in the equation, tsvaka wekusurira.
No wonder |Africans are the butt of white jokes. Here you are writing gloriously about a soldier of fortunate, praising his military pedigree, yet he was intent on causing havoc on Africans!
Mukada kuzvitarisa, nguva zhinji ndinongotukwa ndisina chandaita. Tiri kutambisa nguva yakawanda tichitadza kudhibheta zvakanaka uye tichionesana zvagonekwa nezvatadzwa pamwe nekudzorana kune anenge orasika. Izvi zvekutuka zvaitwa naBanolila nauyo KKK zvinoratidza husasikamu hwekusaziva ana baba kana mitupo vana vepfambi. I take pride in whatever l write because thats what l believe in, if you dont agree with me, simply give your views so that we compare and not zvekupenga and worse more kungoita off topic kunyora zvisina basa.
This white guys are master of converting their misfortunes into advantages. Except Guy the suitmen.
Mabhoyi (Africans) u busy looking for failures of others instead of creating ideas that will create EMPLOYMENT and EMPOWERMENT to your fellow Africans, inspiring so that Africa if not Zimbabwe rise and shine in this weird world, like the Italians they create jobs in making of cars LIKE Bugati,Ferrari etc. Germans,British, Americans,Swedish,Chinese, and Indians do same too in various industries.
Afrika HAPANA kana 1 industry yakamutswa mucontinent, basa rekuvengena, chihure and criticism, like CHANDO and Bla Miki vana ve…………………………………………

U know what? I used to hit at Cde Naked about tribalism bla bla. Just take time to understand him. If you read him at surface, the first thing is to hit him hard. If you read deeper, you find that he is a teaser who ruffles feathers to make you think deep about real issues. Am not your fan Cde Naked but I sometimes admire you!
If you like the phrase “I dont talk” then use it as your pen name rather than disturb us with your stupidity. Why post silly thing. Go back to crache
Xman if you don’t talk you shut up! What’s this “i don’t talk” nonsense that u are always posting?
Editor,some of us are“ shocked” by this story!
He is lucky they should have hanged him.
I don’t talk!
They always start wars in Africa so that we kill ourselves while they loot our riches to develop their countries n use media to brainwash pple
