When I told him the estimates of deaths during Gukurahundi ranged between 8,000 and 30,000, he replied icily: "Who are those people; who are they? We want to know."
I had been expecting Mugabe to object to the question on Gukurahundi but it was my skepticism that bothered him. The question itself did not disconcert him because he simply justified his actions. He clearly feels Gukurahundi was legitimate on the grounds that he was aggrieved.
He was settling a problem with a terrorist group, though he regretted the excesses. He sat on the fence, condoning the terrible violence without actually saying as much. Like the husband who beats his wife mercilessly and then says he did it because she provoked him, Mugabe takes no responsibility for his loss of control or what Gukurahundi says about him.
Do you have any regrets, sir ... politically?
"No, no regrets. You go into a fight. It's a fight against colonialism. You make sacrifices. And naturally, when people die you regret the deaths of the people. And that's why we have created Heroes Acre in order to remember those whose deaths should not have occurred. Yes, we are sorry that there are those who have died, but other regrets, I don't know. We might have regrets where we've had a policy that we've had to revise. Or failures in our programs because some people have not implemented them faithfully and honestly. Yes, you regret those failures. Failures in government are regretted, especially when they are because of corruption or inefficiency, incompetence or neglect. Sure, we regret."

how deep can the mind of a cockroach get???
In the words of Mr. Eric Theodore Cartman
“Will somebody put this retard out of his misery?”
Deep inside Mugabe’s mindset lurks Obama.
And other assorted scum.
Mugabe applied it to the operation by the North Korean trained Fifth Brigade that went into Matabeleland and Masvingo in 1983 and committed massacre upon the Ndebele population of those provinces for no better reason than that those provinces supported Joshua Nkomo, an erstwhile fellow revolutionary but by then a political opponent.
It nicely discloses Shona Mugabe's contempt for the Ndebele.
Mugabe is not shy about showing his contempt in the manner in which he named operations. More recently he drove out urban and small stall type businesses and destroyed their temporary dwellings and stalls. thereby forcing them back on the care of their already starving villages and families. For the first time the United Nations became sufficiently outraged that they condemned the action as an atrocity. He called the atrocity "Operation Marambatsvina," which means "drive out the rubbish".
