The likes of Late,Felix Houphet -Boigney , Kwame Nkrumah,Leopold Senghor,Ahmed Ben Bella, Ahmed sekou Toure ,Modibbo Keita,Francois Tombalbaye,Sam Nujoma,Samora Machel Augustino Neto,Milton Obote,Siaka Stevens,Dauda Jawara,Ahmadu Ahidjo,Nnamdi Azikiwe,Tafawa Balewa,Sylvanus Olympio,David Dacko,Patrice Lumumba,Jomo Kenyatta,Mwalimi Julius Nyerere,Kenneth Kaunda save for the last who is still alive with the rest being all now men of blessed memories have one thing in common and that is the fact that  and that is the fact that they fought for the independence of such nations like The Ivory Coast ,Senegal ,Ghana, Ivory Coast,Niger,Algeria,Guinea,Mali,Chad,Namibia,Mozambique,Angola,Uganda,Sierra Leone,The Gambia, Cameroun,Nigeria,Togo,Central African Republic,Congo KInshasa[Zaire],Kenya,Tanzania,Zambia via dialogues and even through the trenches: guerrilla war fare

and eventually became Presidents and Prime MInisters in their respective nations but in the case of Rhodesia now known as Zimbabwe  this did not quite work according to the Pan African script at the time.

For in the nation ,The Shona tribal group had about 60 percent of the entire population strength of Zimbabwe as against that of their  closest tribal rival:the Ndebele people and this was what separated the political neophyte from the real hero of nationalism and father of modern day Zimbabwe: The late Mr Joshua Nkomo .

Now,Nkomo was from the Ndebele tribe from the Matebele lands while Mugabe was from the dominant Shona tribe and it was this factor that helped Mugabe to prominence rather than he doing enough than  Nkomo all through the latter's life time.

Mugabe had bombed a fast moving train as a 16 years old fighting guerilla for independence against the white colonialists or the powers of imperialism  but the Rhodesian  laws  as at then meant he was treated as a minor and never prosecuted otherwise he could have faced the gas chambers.

He was in the trenches  alongside the real father of Zimbabwean liberation struggles and politics ,The late Mr Joshua Nkomo .

However ,whenever it came to sharing the spoils of war ,ethnicity which has being the nemesis  of several great men in African politics  reared its ugly head.

Infact it had to take some political re-alignments for Nkomo who was the true leader of the struggles for independence to be given a position as Vice President in post independent Zimbabwe as tribalism and nepotism took over the center stage of the southern African nation.

In an interview with The News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria ,a source who is a great student of history said that he was happy that the ruling ZANU-P.F. had finally mustered enough courage to sack President Robert Mugabe and his manipulative wife: Grace from the party with the possible impeachment expected to follow from the parliament if he refuses to resign as expected from office shortly.

The source explained that Mugabe always had a morbid hatred for the White minorities and this he later acted upon by taking over their lands forcefully and giving it to the natives instead of learning from neighboring ,South Africa ,where the late Nelson Mandela made concessions despite his people having the numerical advantage

For us at The News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria ,news about a soldier strike in Harare,Zimbabwe did not come as a surprise.

For so long ,this reporter had waited for the military to break the duck after an exclusive chat with The Chief Executive officer of Sunbird African Media LImited ,Mr Richard Mammah ,who had revealed that perhaps Mugabe was likely to hand over the baton of leadership to soldiers if the issue with his wife did not work out in the end as Zimbawe became Mugabe's personal estate.

He however pointed out that since the corrupt Generals in the Zimbabwean military could not assert themselves  then they probably may be by- passed by Mugabe .

It was also common knowledge that Mugabe was bribing  all of his top military commanders who could have some power grabbing ideas thus making him look invisible to an outsider.

It would appear that the recent crisis between Mugabe and his Vice President :Emerson Mnangagwa pushed a splinter group in the army to finally move out of the barracks for some adventure  after being sponsored by the Veepee suggesting that  the number two man learned seriously under his tyrannical boss.

The presence of soldiers on the streets of Harare ,Zimbabwe has helped to raise the awareness of the entire globe to the precarious political tension in the Southern African nation.

In a chat with this reporter ,a source said that it was high time Mugabe was flushed out from office as he had overstayed his welcome in a position of public of trust.

The source wondered why one man will say that without him an entire nation should be grinded to a halt  and lamented the fact that while allotting the so called White owned fertile lands,Mugabe did not use good tact and diplomacy on the matter.

Feelers as at press time shows that even his Shona tribal chiefs have washed off their hands from Robet Mugabe's case and the rival :Joshua Nkomo now late will turn in his grave if it is possible.

Apart from Mr Joshua Nkomo,Mr Robert Mugabe   was a contemporary of the likes of Canon Joseph Banana,Ndiabanga Sithole,Abel Muzorewa after taking over the mantle of leadership as Prime Minister in 1980 from the last white ruler of Rhodesia,the late Mr Ian Smith.
