No single missionary came to Zimbabwe for anything else other than to assist in the colonisation of Zimbabwe, and that mission has not been forgotten by any of the churches that were part of Cecil John Rhodes’ schemes for the country even today…, writes Cain Mathema in his book Why the West and its MDC stooges want Zimbabwe’s Defence and Security Forces reformed that The Patriot is serializing.
The Rhodesian state (that is, the Rhodesian department of the British state) was not different.

It worked hand-in-glove with the Christian denominations that paved the way for colonialism, and the churches did their best to defend and promote colonialism and white racism in the country.
This is what the churches have always done since the fourth century A.D. when Christianity became the state religion in Rome.
In Southern Rhodesia, white priests were part of the political department, the commissariat, of the state, including the defence and security forces of the country.
The mission of the church in the country and in all the other colonies was spelt out clearly by the European ruling classes and their colonising companies; before Europe started colonising other countries from the fifteenth century onwards, there were no missionaries in Africa, Asia and America; therefore the coming of the missionaries (like Gonzalo Silveira, David Livingstone, Robert Moffat and Shimin) into Zimbabwe was never an isolated, accidental, event, it was a well planned, well orchestrated vicious exercise to plunder the country.
Davet Muzwidwa, The Patriot, Harare, June 13 – 2014, says:
‘During the partition of Africa, European colonialists realised that Africans would not cooperate being colonised. They resolved to unleash their soft power on unsuspecting Africans through missionaries. ‘They were told that their religion was inferior and backward. King Leopold II of Belgium gave instructions to his advance team disguised as Christian Missionaries to prepare the Congo for colonisation. The letter read:
“…Reverends, Fathers and Dear Compatriots; Your knowledge of the scriptures will help us to use special text[s] that recommended the [in]fidels to love poverty such as, ‘’’The Beatitudes’’’, ‘’’Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven’’’.
“You will do all that you can to cause the Negro to fear being rich in order that they may go to heaven. “From time to time, keep them from rebelling and to keep them in fear that you will use violence. You will teach them to endure anything, even when they are insulted or beaten by your compatriots (administrative). You will teach them that whosoever uses vengeance is not a child of God. You will cause them to follow the example of the Saints who turned the other cheek.
“You will take them away from anything or act that procures them with the courage to confront us. I am alluding myself here to their magic, i.e., Juju, Voodoo. They should not feel like they are abandoning their Juju, and you should do your best to take them away at the same time. Your action will be essentially on the younger people that might not rebel. If the commandments of the Father are conductive to the parents, the child should learn to obey what the missionary teaches him because he is the father of his soul. We must force them into submission.” ‘
What King Leopold II of Belgium wrote to the Belgian priests on the colonisation of Africa was a typical instruction to all European missionaries that were sent to Africa and all over the world as part of the deliberations and conclusions of the Berlin conference of 1884 -85 where the European powers carved out Africa and distributed it among themselves.
Therefore no single missionary came to Zimbabwe for anything else other than to assist in the colonisation of Zimbabwe, and that mission has not been forgotten by any of the churches that were part of Cecil John Rhodes’ schemes for the country even today, even their NGOs like the CCJP (the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace), which is funded by Western intelligence services and other Western government departments like USAID, are continuing with and implementing Rhodes’ instructions to the churches of colonialism who were rewarded financially and materially in the form of being given some of the best land in Zimbabwe by Rhodes; eventually, therefore, the country should seriously consider extensively reducing the size of all church land, after all most of it is lying neglected all over the country.
As for his missionary mission in Southern and Central Africa, David Livingstone, the son in-law of Robert Moffat of the London Missionary Society (his son in-law’s church as well), wrote in 1858 to Professor Adam Sedgwick of Cambridge University saying: “That you may have a clear idea of my objectives, I may state that they have something more than meets the eye… All this machinery has for its ostensible object the development of African trade and the promotion of civilisation, but what I tell none but such as you in whom I have confidence is thus I hope it may result in an English colony in the healthy highlands of Central Africa… With this short statement, you may perceive our ulterior objects,” (Baffour Ankomah, The Saturday Herald, Zimbabwe, 26 July 2014).
That is why I have said all, repeat all, missionaries were nothing but colonisation criminals employed by the ruling classes in Europe, Australia, Newzealand and North America.
It is proper therefore to remove David Livingstone’s statues, including the one at the majestic Mosi-O-Tunya at the Zambezi River, all over Zimbabwe.
David Livingstone was a criminal like Rhodes and his statue must just be shredded into smithereens and thrown into a high-temperature furnace.
And all the street and building names belonging to anybody who colonised us must just be removed and replaced with our own heroes and heroines, if we do not, we might as well keep “Rhodesia” as the name of our country, let us move the whole way from “Rhodesia” to Zimbabewe, and from “Main Street” in Bulawayo to JMN Nkomo Street in Bulawayo remove Rhodes’ grave from our sacred Matopo Hills.
I am happy though that at least I as Governor and Resident Minister of the Bulawayo Metropolitan Province pushed for and succeeded in the changing of “Main Street” in Bulawayo to “Joshua Mqabuko Nyongolo Nkomo Street”. I had also pushed for “Fife Street” to be called “Nikita Mangena Street” and for “Basch Street” to be called “Lookout Masuku” in Bulawayo, but the council refused.
