By Chris Tongogara| The last time these angry floods hit Zimbabwe was in 1979 when Ian Smith was washed away and a new country emerged. Just before, it was a never ending economic and bloody chaos, and suddenly the same waters brought in a new nation as people both black and white kissed a smashing new country. It was anger enmeshed in throbbing joy, at last.
Operation Zero Hour.
How it all happened: Joshua Nkomo’s ZIPRA was vitiated by a long-standing debate on military strategy. It was not a sudden Moscow diktat which created the most secret ZIPRA plan: Operation Zero Hour.
This envisaged a co-ordinated general offensive on several fronts simultaneously. Five regular battalions with artillery support were to seize bridgeheads in the northern front at Kenyemba, Chirundu and Kariba to enable ZIPRA troops to cross with armour and artillery. At the same time attacks were to be mounted on the airfields at Kariba, Victoria Falls and Wankie, which would be secured to enable the transfer of ZIPRA MiGs from Angola. The principal objective was to enable regular troops to seize and hold the strategic rear bases along the border in support of the offensive to be launched from within Rhodesia.
Offensive at the start of the 1979 rainy season.
As the offensive moved in-country, guerilla units already in place would sabotage transport links to undermine the Rhodesian counter-offensive, which would be further slowed by urban warfare. Zero Hour was planned for the start of the 1979 rainy season,
October or November. Far from encouraging this plan, the Soviets refused to release ZIPRA pilots in training in the USSR. Rhodesian raids on the army being assembled on the Zambian border delayed Zero Hour, which was ultimately aborted by the Lancaster House talks.
By end of December 1979, Zimbabwe had come and it came with rain. The new Zimbabwean nation that is coming is coming with angry rains. It has come!, Mrs Mugabe, as you watch with your two eyes!
Meant to Say Zimbabwe is a Work IN Progress and God has a Great Plan for us.
What the editor is writing is so True.
We are heading for a New Season of Change I believe this with all my heart. God has heard the cries of the Zimbabwean Nation, those who are feeling helpless, those who are desperate and suffering. God has HEARD and has SEEN and now is the time that a Great Event is about to happen in Zimbabwe.
Father God we thank you so much for hearing our prayers, we thank you for not forgetting your people. We are a desperate Nation who seeks your Grace.
Father in the Name of Jesus LET YOUR WILL BE DONE in Zimbabwe.
This Country Will be Blessed
This Nation will be Blessed,
Our Children will be Blessed.
I will be Blessed.
Zimbabwe is a Wee and he has a Great Plan for Zimbabwe.
WE LOVE YOU JESUS
AMEN (So be It)
Well this is a creative piece of work, with good flow of English language and myths. However to me it means nothing. I see no coherence in his piece of work. Well people perceive differently. Thanks for your effort.
Well, I do not mean to be pessimisti, but the heavy rains were for the 1979-80 rainy season. The rains we are experiencing a for the 2016-17 season, and elections are in 2018.
We have had Cyclone Eline in 2000, and heavy rains and floods 2 seasons ago whick caused the Tokwe Mkosi floods.
So, I will take the prophecy with a pinch of salt.
Please let it be so; Lets hope is true me and my family, friends and the whole of reasonable Zimbabweans need a New Beginnings. My Lord Help us; holy Spirit talk to Mugabe to go and Rest in Zvimba vachigocha mhandirire and given full Salary plse for the benefit of Zimbos!!!!! Tatambura; Tayaura; Tashupika; Tadzungaira.
Probably giving blow jobs in S.A.
The worst news to hear is the story of Minister Lazarus Dokora erecting an evil altar(ISIS) in our midst whilst Presidential aspirants and born again christians Grace Mugabe and VP Mnangabwa does nothing about it.
These are the stories that i like to hear but its about ten years hearing them now.
Hope its true!
Heavy rains as a sign of change like what happened in 1979
If you think thats how Zimbabwe’s freedom came about then whatever you are snorting is messing up your faculties!
How old was Grace 37 years ago
