OpenBrigadier General Vezha Killed In Head-on Collission
11 months agoThu, 18 Apr 2024 06:22:55 GMT
Four members of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) comprising a Brigadier General, two Majors, and a Sergeant, died in a head-on collision along the Harare-Bulawayo road on Tuesday.
The accident was confirmed by the ZDF Director of Poly, Public Relations and International Affairs, Brigadier General Augustine Chipwere.
In a statement seen by The Herald, Brigadier General Chipwere said the accident occurred about 2km from Battlefields in Mashonaland West Province. He said:
It is with a heavy heart that the Zimbabwe Defence Forces announces the death of a general officer, two field officers and a non-commissioned member in a fatal road accident which occurred on April 16, 2024.
Brigadier General Shadreck Vezha, Major Thabani Ncube, Major Mqondisi Gumbo and Sergeant Chakabaiwa were involved in a road traffic accident at the 180km peg along the Harare-Bulawayo Road about 2km from Battlefields.
According to preliminary investigations, it was established that Brigadier General Vezha attempted to overtake an unidentified vehicle and encroached into the oncoming vehicle lane resulting in a head-on collision with the Mazda CX-5 which was travelling towards Kwekwe.
Some passengers who were aboard both vehicles sustained varying degrees of injury and are currently admitted at Gweru and Kwekwe General Hospitals.
Investigations surrounding the accident are underway and more information will be availed in due course.
In May 2014, then a Lieutenant Colonel, Shadreck Vezha received a UN Medal for participating in the United Nations Syria Mission. The other three officers conferred with the UN medals were Lieutenant Colonels Chadokweedza Gota, Hamilton Ndhlovu and Douglas Gwite.
In July 2014, he was among nine lieutenant colonels who were promoted to the substantive rank of colonel by then-President Robert Mugabe. The others promoted were George Chitsva, Washington Chidawanyika, Joshua Chikanga, Beaven Masinga, Ernest Shamu, Simo Maseko, Tendai Makavi, and Charles Mashava.
On 16 February 2019, Vhezha was among seven ZNA members who were promoted from the rank of Colonel to Brigadier-General.

The way people send their racist sentiments is like we the shonas have become inferior to the ndebeles.But that is not the case.The gukurahundi issue is something that we don't want to talk about because it refreshes our memories of the events of soon after independence.We let the racists talk like there was nothing the ndebeles, who cry the loudest,had not done anything that brought that drastic measure .
The dessertions from the army by the ndebeles joining desidentry,the killing and forcing the masses in Gokwe to support the rebellion are well documented.The uprising by the ndebeles soon after independence is still fresh in our minds.Arms catch that lead to the arrests of the top Zipra commanders is a real thing of the past So we don't want to pretend as if the ao called victims were innocent souls.The leadership is talking about finding a solution to that past ,but that should not mean agreement to the notion that the ndebeles just fell victim to the shonas ,no and a big No.The events of the past must be regrettable to both the tribes.It was called the moment of madness not by Zanla forces but by both Zipra and Zanla forces.

Killing of thousands of innocent civillians over less than 400 dissidents is not justifiable. Please know history. Most people died painful deaths without even setting their eyes on so called dissidents. Even during the liberation war Rhodesian army was not that brutal to civil****s who they knew very well were supporting the guerillas with food and supplies. Im Shona but will never ever support the barbarism Zanu unleashed on defenseless people.

Brigadier General Chipwere is not qualified to draw such a conclusion and sell it to the public before police investigations have hardly commenced. It is not his duty to do that. It's a police case and that's Assistant Commissioner Nyathi's area. Are you trying to cover up anything? I would be surprised if your boss sanctions such a statement from you.

Assembly Points were established soon after cease fire. One for the Zanla forces at Zengeza 4 and the other at Unit O for Zipra forces. Needless to say those houses were meant to benefit the refugees at Chimbahuyo- courtesy of the Muzorewa regime

I think anyone who utter the word gukurahundi must be incarcerated for treason going forward.we don't want divisions in this country only unity builds and by the way it's the Ndebele people who will suffer if they continue these reckless utterances.

The Gukurahundi has nothing to do with the accident that claimed the lives of four fellow Zimbabweans. All tribalists here, shut up! You do not even know the root cause of Gukurahundi but just basing on opposition opinion. The opposition at the instigation of their masters in the US and Britain want civil war here. They want to see the people of Zimbabwe divided along tribal lines. That will not happen.
We cannot allow history to divide us like in the case of Israel-Palestine. Let's unite and celebrate independence in peace.
What we understand about Gukurahundi is that there was a problem of dissidents who were maiming innocent civilians in Matebeleland as a precursor to a major effort to destabilise Zimbabwe just after independence. I think you also read about the arms cache found in Matebeleland South then, which purportedly was to be used to divide brother from brother. So it was the duty of Government to protect the hard-won freedom of the masses. You can see that whatever was done for that purpose was clearly justified, because the imperialists were trying to sponsor armed rebels to get Zimbabwe back to war....
The story is long....

Death to the gukuraundist why should we feel sympathy for these killers who shot citizens at 45degrees and still walking free in the streets
Chicken 🐔 · 11 months ago
Guys the Gukurahimdi issue is a thorn in the flesh and needs to be handled with due respect, if not it might ignite a much worse scenario in the name of retaliation or silencing.
We should be truthful on the matter and avoid any tribal or racial devide in our comments .
What caused this insurgence in the first place. Anonyatsoziva atipe the non-allied insight. I was old enough then but far from the events and action. However, I know bits and pieces of what I gathered during that time and later read from various texts.
What was the cause?

The truth is that Evil Mugabe's desire and aim to establish a one-party state was the REAL REASON for Gukurahundi. Father Zimbabwe, Nkomo had to be gotten rid of so reasons had to be found for that to happen. The process of disarmament for both ZANLA and ZIPRA were going on smoothly with very very few incidents. The 1st unwarranted heavy handed approach towards ZIPRA resulted in the Entumbane clashes but that was quickly resolved. In any case there were limited armed robberies by both ZANLA and ZIPRA, which of course is natural after such a long conflict. There was however NO ARMED REBELLION in Matebeleland. I personally KNOW a guy (off-duty customs officer O'Neil his name) who was shot and killed on the Bulawayo - Beit Bridge road back in 1982) and curfew imposed on that road. In any case such incidents were very few and the ZNA had the situation under full control. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR EXTRA JUDICIAL PRIVATE ARMY- 5-brigade, which was deployed not to fight any armed people but TO KILL, MAIM and PERSECUTE NDEBELES!! My friend (a Ndebele), who was a school teacher in Tsholotsho at the time, was forced to rape a fellow school teacher in front of the whole school, when he couldn't do it he was told to **** while he watched how it was done. The gukurahundi animals then proceeded to take turns to rape the lady. All this with other teachers and school children watching. Was this following commands? Was this a military operation. This is but a small incident which I CONFIRMED. The leader and the organiser of those Gukurahundi EVILS is now a president and he is continuing from where he left off. How then can reconciliation be achieved?

very sad in deed, let's all be patient in these roads. If in a hurry, travel a day before. I discovered that when going let's say to Bulawayo traveling at a safe speed of 80-100km/hr, if someone is traveling @ 120km/hr gets infront of you, in the end you'll reach Bulawayo almost the same time cz he can't maintain that speed for the rest of the journey
