He is no longer Saro Wiwa but Osama binLaden:
By Togarepi Nyambuya
Three days ago he was said to be in Zambia where rumour says he went to see a Pastor friend for prayers as he is determined to fight on until something happens in Zimbabwe. It is said he is so angry over the arrest of his friends Hopewell Chin’ono and Jacob Ngarivhume as they have been planning this together for a longtime. They agreed to launch Jacob Ngarivhume on the forefront first while he remains on the wings to disguise the State. He will pop up later as supporting the cause. Several planning and strategy meetings were held at Hopewell Chin’ono’s Chisipiti home since December last year that the time is up to deal with the looting in the country.
It all started with a flier of Ngarivhume early last month looking enigmatic and people should have raised eyebrows on the graphic design of the flier. Ngarivhume came out on the flier as the bull roaring for a fight and it ignited the nation into frenzy. Job Wiwa Sikhala was silent and nowhere to be seen.
They tasked each other roles. Wiwa underground mobilization, Hopewell to lobby other significant political players in the country such as Dr. Nkosana Moyo, Dr Noah Manyika and to approach Nelson Chamisa for endorsement. Jacob Ngarivhume to approach civic society organizations, ZCTU and ZINASU, Churches, youths and women organizations, vendor organizations and other important personalities such as Shingi Munyeza, Tsenengamu and every important stakeholder in the country. Sikhala activated his political cells and approached some of his friends such as Obert Masaraure for the wayforward. Wiwa helped Obert Masaraure to launch his Poverty Liberation Movement converging some civic society organizations under it. So this thing was organised over a period of a longtime than anyone would imagine. Wiwa was the master strategist of everything.
Wiwa went into brief confusion after the arrest of his buddies. He weighed options whether it was the right time for him to come out. After visiting his Zambia pastor friend for prayers the cat bolted out of the bag. He vowed to take charge in the absence of his colleagues. He held a one hour program with ZimEye which had an audience of over 19 000. He was bold and assertive. Clearly giving the country the wayforward on the 31st July plot.
Those who underestimate Wiwa are doing it at their own peril. He is a man so organised on strategy and planning. He lays back while he is the danger behind. He always emphasises on planning. His famous statement always in meetings is “a good planner dont go wrong”. His advantage is his knowledge of intelligence. He can predict correctly the reaction of his enemies step by step. There is no plot against him which he would not know in advance. He is a master on those things.
They miss him at the Zambian border and like Osama bin Laden launches an attack from an unknown place. Knowing him well he will be elusive until the day he will surrender himself to the police. I don’t think even his wife knows where he is. He keeps it to himself. Will the police whom he heard wants to raid his house today either in the morning or evening get him? Lets wait and see. The new Osama bin Laden.
