TWO young girls aged 10 and 17 watched in horror as their mother was brutally murdered by having her head chopped off at the neck. Brandina Tadyanemhandu, 53, was butchered inside her hut by about 20 youths, suspected to be Zanu PF supporters, in Magunje on Sunday.
The reason for Tadyanemhandu’s grisly murder was the accusation by the youths that the deceased was a supporter of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Tadyanemhandu will be buried today at Magororo village in Magunje, Hurungwe East.
She was the mother of MDC youth activist Tichaona Tadyanemhandu, 20, who went missing in Hurungwe in June 2000. His body was found six months later in the mortuary at Harare Central Hospital.
Brandina Tadyanemhandu’s attackers, who were allegedly led by a war veteran known as Cde Chifamba, also burnt the family’s main house, destroying property worth thousands of dollars.
Tadyanemhandu’s husband, Enos, 63, yesterday said: “They killed my only son in a family of eight children and now they have killed my wife. Why are they fighting us after they won the election? I will not be silenced. I will speak out against this evil.”
A distraught Tadyanemhandu said it seemed like a normal day when he drove his herd of cattle to the dip tank at Magororo township at about 6am on the fateful day. On his way back, at about 10am, he said he was surprised when his 17-year-old daughter, Chipo, weeping, approached him.
“She was crying,” he said. “My first thought was that she had been assaulted by a friend. She struggled to tell me that her mother’s head had been cut off by Zanu PF supporters.” Tadyanemhandu said
Chipo told him that her mother’s alleged killers had called at the house looking for him, saying they wanted to rid the area of MDC supporters.
He said his wife had apparently asked them why they were still bothering people when they had won the presidential election. This question, it seems, incensed the youths who declared Tadyanemhandu would meet her husband in heaven before they attacked her and chopped her head off.
He said his other daughter, Tendai, aged 10, also witnessed the gruesome murder.
“When I saw my wife’s remains, the head and the body were cleanly separated,” Tadyanemhandu said yesterday. “I had to push them back together.” He said a postmortem report had confirmed his wife was decapitated with a sharp object.
He said when he reported the murder at Magunje police station, the officers asked him if the assailants were known to him.
“When my daughters told them that they were supporters of the ruling party the officers asked us to bring the suspects to the police station,” Tadyanemhandu said.
“I don’t know how they expect us to follow the youths back to their base, when they are hunting for me so that they can harm me as well.”
Tadyanemhandu said there were about 500 Zanu PF supporters camped near Sanyati Bridge who were terrorising villagers in Magunje.
The youths, who are reportedly receiving food provisions from the Magunje Rural District Council, are allegedly waiting to receive payment in return for campaigning for President Mugabe in last month’s election.
Efforts to confirm this with council officials were not successful yesterday.
visit Delhi's very own Quila.
How was it?
That's exactly what those explorers were saying. They're a primitive people, right? Less than human, incapable of rational thought and self rule. Besides, they are the descendents of Ham, therefore not beloved of God.
Except the machete part, those didn't exist back then. And just think, Colin Powell and Clarence Thomas are only a few generations away from them.
If these morons had just let the British continue to run the show they would be pretty well off by now.
Probably, but they also wouldn't be free. I guess they chose.
OUCH! I love it, keep 'em coming.
Hmmmmm.... You could be right. Didn't X42 and Chelsea go down there to straighten things out?
Where have you been, Quila?
They didn't choose and they are not FRee.
In all of Africa there is not a single democratic state and not even one FRee Man!
NOT ONE!
Under British Colonial Rule, at least, all were FRee and every single British African was afforded equal protection under and by the Law. Not to mention good schools, good, medical care, good roads and railways, good jobs -- and good all-around infrastructure.
Now they have only the slavery, squalor and brutality that existed prior to Civilization touching them -- and the diseases and early death!
The Africans screwed up big time not staying in the British Commonwealth.
They are now as lawless and barbaric as Arabs.
As I have said on other threads, I have never seen such peaceful relations between the races, anywhere else on earth, as existed in Salisbury, Rhodesia in 1966. Dante would have to define a special area in Hell to do justice to the Americans and Britains who sitting in safe sanctuaries thousands of miles away, brought down a happy and peaceful nation, representing the very best of a common heritage.
Of course, their pretense was that they were concerned for the Bantu "Majority." Well, here we see how the Bantu "Majority" are enjoying their new Majority Rule Government! May God forgive us all for letting this happen. The people of Rhodesia, White or Bantu, are not our responsibility, of course. But the evil men in Washington who brought this condition about were.

I'm somewhat of a masochist. Will occasionally listen to FAIR's program on SW Sundays.
"AIDS in Africa is the result of Western racism.
Racist to protect drug patents.
Racist not to enslave your own people through taxation to support corrupt and evil tyrants.
Racist not to forgive loans."
Gotta start really watching my blood pressure
And this was 5-10mins of last Sunday's program. Can only take so much.
And what FUN we all had!!
