AS we celebrate Africa Day, it is very important for Africans across the continent to always remember that the former colonial masters, racists and their Western backers are plotting everyday to have African governments headed by their puppets.
The former colonial masters and their backers want to have African puppet governments who will dance to their tune no matter how ugly the tunes are.
Progressive African leaders, no!
Puppet leaders yes!
Furthermore, these former colonial masters, racists and their backers are prepared to go to the end of the earth or even to Mars and Jupiter to make sure their African blue-eyed boys get into power at election times or at the congresses of African political parties.
They will go to the extent of causing civil wars to achieve their goal and will never feel guilty about the ugly outcome.
This, then, calls upon all Africans to be on high alert to stop the evil colonial masters in their tracks before they destroy our governments and countries.
In this article we are looking at the present ugly political atmosphere in our sister country SA and posit that the present situation there right now is like one which once took place during the era of a ‘puppet Mutapa’ during the Mutapa Empire in Zimbabwe in the 1600s.
Let us look at the political situation in South Africa right now first.
The former colonial master, in the shape of apartheid interests and their backers, have been fighting a relentless political war against the revolutionary ANC Government led by President Jacob Zuma.
They are fighting tooth and nail to remove a Government that won free and fair elections by using loopholes in their Constitution where, on a whim and without limits, they can pass a vote of no confidence in the president.
They have passed several of these former colonial master-led votes of no confidence in the past without success but they are not giving up.
On top of this, they are poisoning the entire political atmosphere with so much negative propaganda that the ordinary citizen is getting confused. However, the people should not be confused.
The president is not a problem.
The ANC is not a problem.
The problem – the elephant in the room — is the former colonial master and his backers who are hell bent on trying to get into power a puppet Government of the DA.
That is the problem.
Everything else revolves around this problem.
Below we show how the Portuguese interfered in the Mutapa Empire Government when they wanted a puppet king installed.
One ‘Nyambo Kapararidze succeeded his father in 1624’ to become the new Mutapa Emperor.
However, the Portuguese who wanted to control the gold trade in the Mutapa Empire wanted a puppet Mutapa King in power.
And so settled for one Mavhura or Mamvura.
“Mavhura managed to become a good friend of the Portuguese, especially the Dominican friars. One Espirito Santo converted Mavhura to Christianity. Another de Sardinha catechised Mavhura. Mavhura’s special relationship with the Portuguese Dominicans developed to such a degree that Kapararidze was alarmed. Therefore on November 17 1628 Nyambo Kapararidze ordered the death of Ambassador Jeronimo de Barros and declared war against all Portuguese in his dominions.”
This gave the Portuguese a pretext to fight Nyambo Kaparidze and install a puppet Mutapa.
“When the death of the Barros reached Tete and Sena, the Portuguese decided to mobilise a force to fight the Mutapa King. The Dominicans who had christianised Mavhura played a very active role in recruiting men for the war against Kapararidze. One Manoel Gomes Sarros was appointed Captain Major of the Portuguese forces at Sena which were sent to fight Kapararidze.
“The anti-Kapararidze forces declared Mavhura to be the rightful Mutapa. This force which was made up of mainly Africans who numbered up to 30 000 while the Portuguese were only 250.
“In May 1629 Kapararidze attacked the above Portuguese – Mavhura forces but he suffered heavy losses and was overthrown by the Portuguese-led forces. With this victory the Mavhura forces entered the ‘Zimbabwe’ of Kapararidze where a victory mass was celebrated and a little church dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary was built.”
But the above victory was short-lived. Kapararidze re-grouped. He made an alliance with the Moslems and took on the Portuguese-Mavhura army.
“In the engagement between the two armies, the Mavhura forces were wasted losing about 6 400 men of whom 300 to 400 were Portuguese. Kapararidze ruled as Mutapa until June 1632 when he was finally defeated by the Mavhura-Portuguese alliance. They had mobilised heavily against the ruling Mutapa.”
A civil war had engulfed the Mutapa Empire.
Now, with a puppet Mutapa in power, “…the Portuguese entered a period of ascendancy on the Zimbabwe highlands. The Portuguese did not govern but they held the balance of power in Zimbabwe.”
They stopped paying taxes to the Mutapa.
This was true of duties and tolls.
Instead it was the puppet Mutapa who paid “…three pastas of gold every three years to the Portuguese Captain of Mozambique.”
On top of this, the Empire of Mutapa deteriorated and many previously powerful houses of the emperor lost their power.
The biggest gain by the Portuguese was what was called the ‘prazo system’.
The puppet Mutapa Mavhura surrendered a lot of land to the Portuguese for them to create ‘prazos’ or estates.
“The Portuguese settlers acquired lands and jurisdiction over the people living on those lands with the result that they found themselves occupying the political positions of mambo or madzishe in the Shona political structure.”
What is important to note is that the Portuguese practically became ‘rulers’ in the empire without officially being in power.
This is what the former colonial master wants in South Africa.
They want to install a puppet Mutapa Mavhura of their own in South Africa — Maimane of the DA.
They don’t have to create a ‘prazo system’ because the apartheid system has created one already.
The existence of a puppet DA leader will ensure there are former colonial master ‘madzishe’ in SA again.
These will be in the form of mayors in the towns and cities.
Therefore, once more, its not President Zuma who has a problem in SA.
Nor his revolutionary party, the ANC.
It is the former colonial master who wants to install a puppet Government led by the ‘black’ leader Maimane.
All the noises you hear are meant to confuse and hoodwink the public to let a puppet Government into power.
