Are you serious? You think I give a damn who you are related to, whose
company you keep or what books you have read? What use is your familiarity
with colonial history or the books you have read when you cannot get a point
as simple as honouring an agreement signed at the dawn of independence to
return stolen land?

Keep on googling... At the end of the day if you haven't learnt better than
to take the side of a double-crossing thief you would not have come far.

 To disregard the fact that thousand of families are suffering daily because
the economically powerful relatives of the thief gang up and demand that
unless the thief retains the stolen property they will strangulate their
small economy and make them continue to catch hell.

To disregard that fact that when the aggrieved party, after decades of
suffering they could tolerate no longer, mobilized to fight against their
oppressor thieves, got an agreement from the thieves and their relatives
that the stolen property will be returned only to be nakedly and shamelessly
double-crossed.

To side with the thief when a fight ensues over returning the stolen
property - a fight in the the thief is far more well-off than the victim and
does not even need the stolen property for his continued survival - but
continue to highlight and trumpet the fact that agents of the thieves have
been dealt broken noses and bruises.

When you cannot see beyond the broken noses and bruises and ask why the
parties are fighting in the first place, or when you are told why they are
fighting you elect to ignore the facts of history and bury your head in the
sand because for one reason or another you cannot fathom why Black people
would stand up for their rights, especially against Europeans.

That to me is to say that Black people are not equal or don't deserve the
same rights and treatment as all other people; that Black people should just
let Europeans continue to control their economies and be content with
whatever crumbs come their way.

If that is your justification for labelling me "Black Radical" you must be
the most clueless Black man that ever lived. Googling "Kabir" won't help
you; googling "Mugabe" won't help you either. Nor will highlighting all the
symptoms of the Zimbabwe crisis. Get to the bottom of the issue, the Land
Issue for which Zimbabweans shed their blood only for your idols to pull
this big double-cross that they have been making attempts for years to
camouflage with lies and deception.

That is what I am interested in. Robert Mugabe is just and individual. It is
the policies that he stands for that I support, it could have been any other
Zimbabwean for that matter. As far as they continue to demand the stolen
land back we are on the same page Your ilk have been so blinded by Western
progagand that you cannot see beyond the person of Mugabe at the bigger
picture: the rights of Zimbabweans to regain land that was stolen at gun
point; daylight robbery!

You can go to all the higher institutions of learning in the world, at the
end of the day if what you have learnt does not avail you the wherewithal to
recocnise injustice it would all have been in vain, naught!

So save yourself the trouble "Mr Hemelberg," for I don't see what you could
possibly come with to defend this indefensible act of deceit and betrayal.
The very reason you have been avoiding the point at the centre of this whole
saga, the land issue is that the land thieves and those fighting their
battles in all the international stage have not given you a plausible
justification to argue with. So unless you address the land issue I'm not
going to waste my time engaging you, for whatever you may come with I can
get from the source, your masters!

Kabir.
