SOLOMON MUJURU'S DEATH REMAINS A MYSTERY

                        

What truly caused the death of Retired General Solomon Mujuru remains an issue of important national inquiry. And the most pertinent question is who killed Mujuru? Who were his number 1 enemies? Baba Jukwa posted on social networks that "Some of us who are in the know find it difficult to suppress that information and it is high time the truth has to come out" Jukwa gives a piece of information about the events leading to Mujuru's death. A million dollar question is, was Mujuru really trying to over throw the President and did the President respond "accordingly" when this information was given to him? Can we say that Mnangagwa played a vital role in the elimination of the retired General? Food for thought. Solomon Mujuru, Zimbabwean's most prominent war hero and husband to the current Vice President of Zimbabwe Joyce Mujuru died on the 16th of August 2011. A normal citizen can argue that Mujuru was assassinated and by whom remains a mystery. Baba Jukwa an unknown person on the social media is believed to be a close ally of Zanu pf and claims to have inside information on the day to day running of the Zanu pf political party. Jukwa gave a controversial and interesting piece of information on how Mnangagwa fueled the elimination of Mujuru. Is he guilty as charged? If so was he involved in the entire planning of the assassination. Did rivals fear the power possessed by the two? Noticeable is that, Solomon Mujuru played a vital role in elevating his wife to the Vice President post. As such the combined power of the Mujurus could have totally eliminated the other faction.Therefore, one can argue that his elimination was planned so as to weaken the position of Joyce Mujuru in succeeding the Presidential seat. Notably is that, this anonymous source Baba Jukwa who claims to have insight information on Zanu pf had rumored that he will close his facebook page and how reliable is he or the information that he gave concerning the death of Mujuru. He seems to be pointing fingers to a few individuals in the party, what if he was involved and he is also as guilty as those that he claims are responsible.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE LATE RETIRED GENERAL SOLOMON MUJURU WITH HIS WIFE THE CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT JOYCE MUJURU.

Jukwa has exposed the hand behind the murder of retired Defense Forces Commander; General He says that the liberation war icon, Mujuru, and Mugabe's briefcase-man, Emmerson Mnangagwa, met to resolve the ZANU (PF) succession dilemma as President Robert Mugabe was reluctant to vacate the Presidential office. Baba Jukwa, who has proved to be knowledgeable about internal goings-on in Zanu (PF), alleged that Mujuru had met Mnangagwa at his Tynwald Farm and proposed that they bury the rumor that he and Mnangagwa were sworn enemies who were dragging Zanu (PF) party into extinction because of their jostling for power.
 General Mujuru and Mnangagwa agreed to go and meet President Mugabe and tell him to step down during the period of the inclusive government, and leave one of them as the leader of the party and the country. Mujuru did not care who would be President as long as he was First-Vice President. The General is claimed to have even said that the two of them could revive the fortunes of the party to 1980 levels and that President Mugabe was now a liability.  The two agreed Mnangagwa would set up the meeting with President Mugabe. Unbeknown to Mujuru, Mnangagwa went and told Mugabe that Mujuru was a traitor and that he wanted to set up a sting where Mujuru would be recorded by the intelligence and dealt with in the usual way. At the meeting, tape-recorders running, Mujuru told Mugabe that his leadership was now a liability and that he should step down, which Mujuru felt he had every right to do since he was singularly responsible for enabling Mugabe to take control of Zanla in the post 1974 era when Zanla had become a military force unto itself without the leadership of the incarcerated Zanu (PF) leadership. According to Baba Jukwa President Mugabe was already angry at Mujuru for spearheading the formation of the Mavambo Kusile Dawn political party and that he encouraged Simba Makoni and Dumiso Dabengwa to rebel against him, and about being misinformed in the run-up to the 2008 elections that all was rosy, when in fact underground some intelligence officers were on the ground campaigning for Makoni.  Mugabe, Mnangagwa and the CIO then planned the mission to murder Mujuru without any suspicion, so the General was told that they would conclude the matter as soon as the President returned from the SADC Luanda Summit. Three Lebanese assassins based in South Africa were brought in to eliminate the General while Mugabe was at the Summit and beyond the finger of suspicion. While he was there, a senior army general was tasked with working with the CIO through a protégé of Menard Muzariri (former deputy DG of the CIO) – who brought in his three Lebanese assassins based in South Africa to accomplish the mission to eliminate the General. The day after their arrival at the Summit, news of the General’s death was all over the world. This is Baba Jukwa’s version of the events that led to the death of Solomon Mujuru.

AT THE SCENE OF THE FIRE WHERE MUJURU'S REMAINS WHERE FOUND

Mujuru was a brave man who managed to oppose the President on issues of paramount importance concerning national security. It can also be said that he was a threat to the presidential seat.The statement  “Dealt with the usual way” really captured my attention. Like I said everything happens behind the scenes. What meaning can be deduced from this statement “dealt with the usual way’? What is the usual way of dealing with people who seem to be opposing the ruling party? Was Mujuru dealt with the usual way? A normal citizen can see that Mujuru’s death was no accident, it was planned and it was a murder. It is said that Mujuru died in a fire that consumed his farm house. How convenient is that? If Mujuru was eliminated by these Lebanesse assassins, it becomes clear to all of us that the fire was set up to prevent suspicions.How could a trained army General fail to escape the fire? A liberation hero who ducked the bullets in the liberation struggle certainly cannot die in a mere candle fire

His death is still a mystery and there are a lot of unanswered question as to how the fire started to an extent of claiming his life.His wife also stated that her husband could have escaped through a window from their bedroom because it is not secured by burglar bars. It is very true that there was a foul play on his death.

Pallbearers carry Mujuru's coffin against a record crowd that thronged the national shrine.

 Things are happening behind closed doors, actions are taking place behind the scenes! My friends always advise me on avoiding such matters because I will end up "disappearing." disappearing to where I ask? As confusing and farfetched as it may sound, my answer is that you will disappear to a place behind the scenes where things are solved. Things cannot be solved in front of the prying eyes of normal folk, but behind the scenes.

                                                MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.
