  1. Wise “Bones of Nehanda” will know to not trust the destructive & ever-DECEPTIVE doings of the pale homosexual devils and their self-destructive prostitutes.
    “Bone of Nehanda” will know that the DEFAULT RULERS OF EVERY NATION are the military people.
    No wise military leaders WILL EVER EVER cede control of the nation to those narrow-minded individuals (civilians) who are merely obsessed with their individual egos and their MATERIAL POSSESSIONS, as so-called “civilians” MOSTLY ARE!
    Zim Patriots MUST NEVER EVER stand down!
    And Zim Patriots MUST FOREVER stand guard!
    Bones of Nehanda must stand guard against the pale devils, who relentlessly seek to weaken Zimbabwe for their evil ‘regime change’.
    Zimboz can be proud that they have wise leaders who are ever mindful of the pale homosexual devils in all their diabolical forms and all of their maniacal machinations.

  2. I see nothing important in this man’s experience. Is it just to scare us about NATO? What relevence does his experience have for us? I wish these people would just let us freely vote and do our own business instead of telling us how to go about it by creating all sorts of problems from their majority tribe concept to their garden-boy or tea-boy politicians.I would’nt spend a second listening to this servant of capitalism and imperialism.

  3. Nonsense same day 11 November is the day when the Rhodesians hosted their union jack in the then Salisbury,and most Rhodies still celebrate this day.

  4. Makwembere, learn to listern to yourself first and see if what you want to waffle out is of any benefit to other readers. Being a stooge as you are does not mean that everything from the Americans is good for you, for your people and helpful to the entire world.
