Remembering some of Zimbabwe’s road traffic victims today
Today has been designated a day of remembrance for traffic victims around the world. Zimbabwe has its fair share; some of them very mysterious. We remember the deaths of several Zanu PF big wigs with this e-card. You can send it from our website.
Major Gunda, for example, died earlier this year:
One of Zimbabwe’s top soldiers has been murdered after being linked to an alleged coup plot, according to senior military sources. Brig-Gen Ambrose Paul Gunda was buried yesterday a week after reports of a plot to topple President Robert Mugabe caused fevered speculation in the capital, Harare.
Official reports say the brigadier, a former head of the presidential guard, was killed last Thursday after the car he was driving collided with a goods train outside Harare. However, military sources speaking on condition of anonymity, claim he had been killed earlier by Mr Mugabe’s own agents, and his body was then placed in a car on the train track to make it appear an accident. Brig-Gen Gunda had been under house arrest prior to the killing and no post-mortem examination was conducted on the body, said one of his junior officers who has been in hiding since the killing. Despite the alleged murder, Brig-Gen Gunda was buried at Harare’s Heroes’ Cemetery yesterday. A number of people who have died in suspicious circumstances after falling foul of the Mugabe regime have been given hero’s burials at the site. (via The Independent)
