Now, the time I will ever despise Dabengwa will be the time I will have offered tangible services to Mthwakazi. For now his short comings are excusable. This is a man whose parents were shot point blank by the white enemies for his involvement in liberation politics and struggle. Come to think of it, your parents being murdered for your fight for their liberation and freedom? Then come independence, you are jailed by your black brother for having done no wrong. At the end of it all you are condemned by your own and condemned by your enemies. Has DD done the right thing to tell the old goat to fcuk off? Has he been brave enough to do so? Have we done the same as he has done or do we remain engaged in some grand academic eloquent essays criticising him for his actions while we have not done anything for ourselves? The man has a history far better than ours. This is not to say he has not made mistakes. He has but one will excuse him that he needed a rest after all these years of struggle. There is a time in life one has to be with his family and look after his family in peace. I condemn the fact he has ropped himself on Makoni without a clear blue print on the issue of Mthwakazi. But the old geezer has seen enough and the challenge is on us. He can be excused.
