It sounds like Theron isn’t involved. As was mentioned, why would he be at the scene of the (possible) crime? If his farm was nearby, it’s possible he heard about the accident and, distrusting the police, went in to get the footage in case the wreck suddenly dissappeared. Cops see him, ‘Eish! Murungu’s taking pictures! Arrest him.’ Or perhaps they got orders to do so. Who knows. Let’s wait and see.

Please wait for the outcome of the independent investigation before you spin conspiracy theories. Or maybe you’re spinning them now because you’re scared the investigation may show that history repeats itself over and over and over again in Zimbabwe – especially where ‘mysterious car-accidents’ are concerned – and you’re trying to deflect attention away from what may come out?

That would limit the number of suspects to the CIO, international intelligence organisation, and of course former Rhodesian era intelligence operatives.

1) The truck was owned by a British contractor, John Snow International, working for USAID. USAID is a favorite front/cover for the CIA.

2) On the scene before the police, with a camera, because ‘his farm was nearby’, was Deon Theron, vice president of the Commercial Farmers Union, and the first white farmer to have his farm redistributed. I don’t know what his intelligence background was during the rhodesian era. At age 54, he would have been 26 by 1980.

3) This crash took place 2 days after the Prime Minister announced to parliament that land reform would not be turned back. He also called for an end to sanctions, which were subsequently ignored by the Obama Administration.

It is hard to put into action a head on collission with another moving vehicle – the timing has to be impeccable, and it is very dangerous to the driver himself, even if he is driving a truck with a huge anti-game grill in front of it.

On the other hand, the drivers, or even people inside the MDC convoy were just spotters, and someone by the farm would have a sniper rifle to shoot out a tire or some kind of roadside explosive device, that would be a lot easier.

But as I said, it would still involve several people, not a single driver.

And still, it could just be an accident – although I think the presence of the VP of the CFU at the scene before the arrival of the police warrants a second thought.

It is worded exactly as a plant whose purpose is to to start swinging the blame for Mugabe’s evil and disasterous rule over to MDC – because, after all they are now complicit in ruling Zimbabwe. Oh – and don’t forget – the whites! I would expect nothing less from ZANU-PF at this very point.

The sad and real truth, as I see it, is that MDC have probably lost all impetus for real change having capitulated with this farcical GNU nonsense – but I’d like very much to be wrong!

So, wearily (and warily) I still whimper “go MDC” from the sidelines.

I don’t hear anybody suggesting that the Govt should not investigate. The MDC is also investigating, separately. Everyone here loves Zimbabwe as much as you do, maybe more, but what do the people of Zimbabwe gain if the truth is not told, whether or not it is “negative”? (And I say this as one of the die-hard optimists).

Yes, MDC are “in Government” but the question a lot of us are asking is, what does “in Government” actually mean? If they can’t protect their officials, stop the farm invasions even by passive resistance, exercise ANY supervisory control over the actions of the Police…?

Nor should any Government in this world – not even a fully representative Government which the Zim Inclusive Government is not – be trusted completely, citizens must look to their own interests and be vigilant over democracy. Quite frankly this looks like another set-up but why bother with it if hands are clean? And – think about this – if you were Deon Theron and you’d just pulled off an assassination attempt on two of Southern Africa’s most popular people, would you be found shortly after, taking photos of the crash scene?

No. Thought not.

We must give our Gvt the chance to investigate properlly without interferance. I do not understand why people are so negative about everything happening in Zim. Let us support our Gvt and stop all the nonsense, negatives that we always write about Zim. We must support this inclusive Gvt guys give them time and the much needed support.

Thank you
