It was a scene filled with irony. Earlier this week I met with some Zimbabweans and ex-Zimbabweans
here in Johannesburg where we discussed what each of us was doing to expose Robert Mugabe. We met
at a lovely hotel in Johannesburg, which was owned by someone with links to Zimbabwe. The hotel
oozed colonialism. It was a beautiful setting. Everything was spotless, and the entire style of
the hotel was colonial. There were photographs of the Boer war on the walls. There were photos
of Johannesburg, 100 years ago. As I sat waiting for my host to appear I heard an old gentleman
with a very english accent telling some Americans about the trip they were about to go on at
the splendid Victoria Falls waterfall in Zimbabwe. This old gent was himself a hangover of
colonial days.
And that is what made this hotel such an ironic setting for what took place. I met my host
and we went up to have a breakfast which ended up keeping us busy for much of the morning. My host,
whose identity I will have to protect for now, was a white Zimbabwean – one of those liberals
who lived under Mugabe but who was now changing in a big way. During our breakfast, a black
Zimbabwean arrived and greeted my host. He was linked to the Trade Union movement in Zimbabwe.
He had business to do in Johannesburg. After that, another black Zimbabean arrived, Jay Jay.
There we were, the three of us talking about Robert Mugabe’s destruction of Zimbabwe. But we
were doing so within a setting that could not be more colonial. Colonialism, which should have
been dead, had in fact survived to watch its successor go down. Indeed, during the last two years
I have been stunned as the word “Rhodesia” keeps rising up in a Phoenix-like manner – especially
on the Internet.
In the days before Rhodesia gave way to Zimbabwe, there was a popular song which was called
“Rhodesians never die.” Judging by the number of websites on the Internet dedicated to Rhodesia,
you would indeed see, that it lives on. I have come across dozens of Rhodesian websites. Everyone
remembers that successful, prosperous, colonial country, with the second strongest economy in
Southern Africa, which was handed over to Robert Mugabe – the black Stalin of Africa.
Twenty years ago, the white Zimbabwean and the black Zimbabwean would have been my enemies.
Now we were sitting around a table saying the same things and wanting the same things. We wanted
Mugabe to go.
This reminds me of John Redfern who heads the Rhodesian Association of South Africa. Most of
you have heard the name Cathy Buckle – the white woman who writes her news from Zimbabwe and
who is the author of “African Tears”. Cathy even took great pride that she and her parents
fought against Ian Smith and helped to bring Mugabe to power. She remarked to John Redfern
recently that “now we are on the same side”. John then reminds her “But it wasn’t me who
changed sides!” This is an illustration of how the terms “liberal” and “conservative” have
changed in Southern Africa. They have no meaning here any more because now it is really a
case of “Socialism” versus “Capitalism”. We conservatives had said this right from the
beginning – that the real issue is ideology. Many of those former liberals are now saying
exactly the same things we have been saying for a long time. But all this is good news. It
is a sign that the lies are worn out and the truth is starting to shine through. This now
opens up a new fledgling era where white liberals and white conservatives can agree on most
things. It also opens up the possibility of multiracial co-operation between blacks and whites
which has never before been seen as everyone realises that we need each other and that
co-operation might be our best hope.
The white Zimbabwean told me of his frustrations. He said that his skin was a definite problem
to him in a black country. He found that it counted against him. I could see that the white
Zimbabwean was a “true Zimbabwean” – a white person who had lived in that country under Mugabe’s
rule for more than 20 years and who had assimilated himself into black culture with no problem.
So much so, that he even spoke Ndebele which is one of the two native languages there. The ease with
which he could deal with the two other black Zimbabweans I saw, and the smiling manner in which
he was greeted showed obvious comradeship and affection. But even so, on a broader scale, he was
frustrated and felt he was not achieving what he could in that country. But, he was determined to
try. His own business faced closure because of new rules Mugabe had brought in. It was going beyond
just farms. Mugabe was putting draconian rules in place at every level of society.
The white Zimbabwean expressed his frustration at the docile manner of the blacks and how they
just take the suffering and never rebel. He asked me why blacks were like this? He could not
fathom it. He asked if “colonial oppression” could be in some way responsible? I personally did
not think so. It is something I have watched among blacks myself, and I personally regard it as
one of the reasons why black democracy fails. Whites are cheekier, and more difficult to please.
This causes them to speak up whenever they see something going wrong. Blacks are very different.
They just live with a situation, no matter how bad it gets. There could be many reasons for it.
I did not really have the inclination to go into a heavy discussion as to why
blacks never rebelled at a point when whites would have rebelled long ago. It may be due
to perceptions (i.e. whites see the train coming before blacks do), it may very likely be
cultural. I expressed my opinion that I thought culture and their background had a lot to do
with it.
Then Jay Jay, the black Zimbabwean now living in South Africa, arrived. He turned to me and said
“Do you realise that the white skin is becoming extinct in Africa?” He then reminded me of
the whites who had fled or been driven out of Angola and Mozambique. Then he said to me, whites
were leaving Zimbabwe and soon they would be driven out of Namibia too. He remarked that
eventually, all the white Africans would end up in South Africa – and then it would happen
here too… He told me that he had printed almost 2,000 pamphlets and distributed them by
hand in SOWETO, trying to warn black South Africans that they must watch their own black
government and must not blame everything on the whites. As he gave out these pamphlets he
invited blacks to phone him on his cell phone with comments. 60% of the black respondents
shouted at him and disagreed with him. But, 40% agreed with what he was saying. He told me
that often he was able to convince other black South Africans to come around to his point
of view.
It was so fascinating, sitting back and listening to this black man expressing his concern
over whites leaving or being driven out of Africa. He realised that we need each other. His
private crusade, to bring together black Zimbabeans inside South Africa, to voice their opinion
was indeed something stirring to witness. With virtually no money, he had gathered about 1,000
followers and was trying to win political allies. There are almost 2 million black Zimbabweans
living in South Africa. The entire population of Zimbabwe is only 13 million – so this gives you
an idea of how many blacks have already fled.
But that is not the whole story. There were only 250,000 whites in Rhodesia at its peak. Now,
there are probably only 20,000 to 50,000 left – and more are leaving all the time. But for every
one white person that has fled, more than 10 blacks have fled! It is said that over 300,000 black
Zimbabweans live in England alone. Both of the Zimbabweans were telling me that black professionals
were leaving Zimbabwe by the planeload. More blacks were fleeing the country than whites.
The news I heard was depressing to say the least.
The white Zimbabwean, who was due to return to Zimbabwe later that day, told me that inside
Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe was in total control. The state news media controlled the black mind –
especially in the rural areas. There was no chance of the poorer, rural blacks ever hearing
the truth about anything (e.g. Election fraud, etc). Their minds were lost.
I asked what the chances of an uprising were. I was told it was virtually nil. The Government
were the ones with the guns, and an uprising was extremely unlikely. I was also told that
the culture of the country was such that nobody believed they should fight each other. There
were some young bucks who had said they should fight – but they were a definite minority.
Robert Mugabe was in total control. But, I was also told, that the “cracks were showing”.
In spite of his total control, there were signs of weakness. Mugabe has never been one to
bypass an opportunity to be a showman on a stage. So it showed weakness on his part when he
failed to go to Nigeria to confront the Australian Prime Minister.
I was also told that the “drought” was a lot of nonsense. In fact, this year’s rains had
been above average – and yet there was not enough food! Agricultural output is down 77%
from two years ago. It is estimated that next year’s crop of maize will only feed the country
for about four months.
What was amazing to me, as a conservative, was how these people’s analysis of Robert Mugabe
and of Southern African politics, coincided with what we conservatives had been saying for
decades. Here we are finding that there is no longer a distinction between a liberal and a
conservative because we are all agreeing on the same thing. In fact, the racial divide itself
has also melted away completely where Zimbabwe is concerned.
The white Zimbabwean had been involved in a number of high-profile activities and was
extremely well-connected. I was told some interesting things.
The white Zimbabwean was quite upset with the MDC [Movement for Democratic Change], which is
Robert Mugabe’s opposition. I asked if the MDC would start a rebellion against Mugabe. The
white Zimbabwean said there was no chance of that. Then the white Zimbabwean started telling
me about the possibility that the MDC was a fake opposition which Robert Mugabe had a hand in.
I was told that the leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, was probably a genuine fellow – but he had been
surrounded by a lot of ex-ZANU(PF) people who were possibly traitors, spies and agents of
influence sent by Mugabe to help influence his organisation in the wrong direction. Thus the MDC
keeps on clinging to this concept of non-violence even though violence and an uprising against
Mugabe is justified. I have had many Americans and others write to me asking why people don’t
rebel? The MDC is largely responsible for helping to keep people from rebelling.
The theory that the MDC is a fake opposition is one which I first floated two years ago. When I
did that, a lot of people acquainted with Zimbabwe told me I was talking nonsense. In fact, I
wrote several pages about this idea in my book, Government by Deception. However,
just prior to publication, I decided that I did not have enough real evidence. I had suspicions,
but little real evidence. So I pulled it out. But the idea remained in my mind and I always
wondered about it. It was therefore quite stunning to hear the first-hand observations of someone
inside Zimbabwe who had come to the conclusion that Mugabe had infiltrated the MDC to such a
degree that it was useless for all practical purposes.
We discussed Mugabe’s support. I stated that I had heard the MDC had the support of at least
70% of the population – if not more. Ergo, Mugabe must have only 30% support. The white
Zimbabwean told me that he had serious suspicions that Mugabe’s support was much less than
30%.
The black Zimbabwean said to me “Have you ever read George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm?'” He went on
to say that this was exactly what was happening inside Zimbabwe right now. I explained to him
that George Orwell had been a communist and that he was familiar with the process. That is
why he had managed to write such powerful books against it. He had been a communist and knew
how these people thought and worked.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and both these Zimbabweans were telling me that
they were embarking on their own, as individuals, to see what they could do. They saw me as
a natural ally, and I viewed them in the same light. Governments had failed us (no surprise in
that!). I had a suspicion that the white Zimbabwean believed the country could not be saved – but
was going to try against all odds to use personal influence and personal contacts.
The white Zimbabwean explained to me what his plan of action was but requested that I not
divulge any of it as yet. I did express my view that one part of his plan would definitely
fail, and that another approach must be tried. The white Zimbabwean then told me of another
idea he had. It would be an experiment he would try. I listened to the idea and expressed my
view that this was definitely worth trying and seeing if it garnered any popular support.
Jay Jay told me that he was giving out pamphlets and trying to wake black South Africans up
to the problems in Zimbabwe. He told me of all the things he was doing, and the people he was
seeing. It was pretty impressive for a black guy living a hand-to-mouth existence in another
country. He showed real leadership potential. Africa could do with a lot more blacks like this.
With a shoestring budget, where he often did not even have $30 to work with, he managed to pull
off some pretty impressive things. It was clear that white South Africans he came into contact
with were more often than not willing to help him. And so he was making progress. With a bit more
money, this guy could go far. He was telling me that for $300, he could have 30,000 pamphlets
printed and would then give them to the 1,000 black members of his organisation to distribute
in black townships. I like his pamphlet idea, and promised him my financial support. He also
discussed appearing on talk radio.
I told him that another black South African, Mwezi Twala, who had once been in Moscow, and had
been trained as an intelligence agent, had said that what we need in South Africa are “political
schools” to explain the situation to blacks. The communists make headway by exploiting the
ignorance of the blacks. They continually hammer them with socialism and make them believe in
it. This needs to be countered. Mwezi Twala had been the first black person to suggest this to
me. The minute Jay Jay heard of the idea, he loved it. He said this is exactly what Africa
needs. Mwezi had told me that he had hoped the US Government would sponsor such an idea. I
also thought it was a great idea, but it requires big sponsorship, and who is prepared to do it?
I must digress, and explain to Americans and others, that often people outside this continent
do not even come close to appreciating what one is dealing with. A democratic system, such as
you Americans have, whereby the common man casts his vote and has his say, is actually more
difficult to implement than you think. The many failures of Africa are testimony that this does
not really work here, and it is not until you live and work here that you appreciate this. The
communists are way ahead of the West in Africa. They are pro-Active. They tell people how to vote.
They tell them only one side of the story. They hammer it into their heads with slogans and even
through threats of violence. They lead black people. They do not give them an opportunity to think
for themselves. They come, seize them by the noses, and tell them lies and half-truths and herd them
like sheep and cattle to voting their way. Westerners don’t believe in this way of doing things.
We believe in free will, and free choice and we leave it to each person to search their conscience.
Hence we always come second in Africa. But, we are now sitting with a situation which has been
created and we can’t turn back now. We must attempt to make the best of a very bad and desperate
situation.
I explained to the Zimbabweans that it had been my view from the beginning of the land invasions,
that the battle for Zimbabwe is best fought outside Zimbabwe – most especially in South Africa.
South Africa could put an economic stranglehold on Mugabe and put him out of business in a week.
They agreed. They both said South Africa could put Mugabe out of business in 24 hours. Jay Jay
said that ESKOM in South Africa was supplying Zimbabwe with electricity. If South Africa shut off
the power, and closed the border at Beitbridge, Zimbabwe’s fate was sealed. I explained to them
that in my view, the 2 million Zimbabweans in South Africa were a virtual ready-made army which
could be mobilised. They hated Mugabe to a man. In fact, I had suggested long before, that
if South Africa were ruled by an anti-Mugabe government, we could have trained and armed these
Zimbabweans and unleashed them upon Mugabe to overthrow him. It would be very easy to do. But,
the ANC [African National Congress] in South Africa would never do that. Instead they are using
all their power and influence to keep Mugabe in power.
I must digress, and tell people of a discussion I had with John Redfern, the head of the Rhodesian
Association of South Africa, and an expert on Zimbabwe. He told me some months back that Mugabe
would never have engaged in land invasions there had a white government been in power in South
Africa. Mugabe is only doing this because he knows that the “African Super Power” to the South of
him will go along with him. I agree with John’s insightful assessment.
I told them both, that most South Africans, especially all non-whites, were opposed to Mugabe.
Coloured and Indian people were all in agreement with whites that Mugabe-type moves in South
Africa must be opposed. A very large portion of blacks here were also not keen on Mugabe. Only
the ANC and the PAC [Pan Africanist Congress] were supporting Mugabe. The PAC is a very small
organisation. All the other political parties were against they way the ANC was propping up
Mugabe. The Zimbabwe problem is a very emotive issue in South Africa.
Our next elections are less than 2 years away (April 2004), and by then the Zimbabwe situation
should have played itself out. By then, Namibia might also have begun following the same path.
The time would be ripe for uniting all the opposition political parties into a big multiracial
alliance against the ANC. I told them that the millions of black Zimbabweans in South Africa
could help engage in educating and enlightening blacks in South Africa – in other words –
use blacks to talk to other blacks.
I told them that if we played our cards right, this could be a political force to be reckoned
with, and we need to try to form alliances and bring people together. The real battle for
Zimbabwe could be fought in South Africa. If we could make Zimbabwe a political issue in
SA, then we might stand a chance of throwing the ANC out. Once the ANC is down, a new government
could turn the screws on Zimbabwe and bring real force to bear on Mugabe. I am convinced the
local self-interest exists for such a thing. There are lots of black Zimbabweans living in
South Africa who hold positions of power and influence. Probably the most powerful of these
is the black tycoon who owns the Daily Mail & Guardian newspaper in South Africa.
He owns the only independant newspaper in Zimbabwe as well, and has warned that South Africa
is walking the same path. All the conservatives I have spoken to, especially Afrikaners, have
said they would be more than happy to strike up an alliance and throw their support behind a
black man like Jay Jay. The common interest for all of us – black and white – in averting a
future economic disaster is there. That is the idea I tried to sell to the Zimbabweans.
Now I want to try to sell that concept to South Africans.
People overseas should remember that things in Africa can happen in a type of slow-motion.
The situation in Zimbabwe is unfolding in a surreal, slow-motion fashion. The full response
in South Africa can occur in a similar way. I am going to try to appeal for support, and
funds and see if I can try to throw people behind these Zimbabweans and try to knock up
some grass roots support for them both inside South Africa and anywhere else. I believe that
there is no point in waiting for governments to react. They are too infiltrated with the wrong
people, and they will be totally useless. A few hardworking people at a grass roots level can
probably achieve much more than these other organisations can.
I have suggested to Jay Jay that he also canvas for funds from overseas which he can
receive via PayPal.com. If anyone wants to write to Jay Jay, he can be reached at
this e-mail address: [email protected].
He is the President of the “Concerned Foreign Based Zimbabwean Nationals” organisation, and
he needs our help. I will be attempting to throw all the weight I can muster behind this
guy.
Our only hope in South Africa is that black Zimbabweans can use their influence over black
South Africans at the next election here. That may be the last opportunity of any hope at
a ballot box. If that fails, the next stop for us all may be a Civil War here in South Africa.
Recently, General Holomisa, a black politician in South Africa, and a former ruler of one
of the Homelands, had warned that if we do not stand together against the ANC, then we
may end up in a race war. He predicted that the ANC would play the race card in future years
in an attempt at diverting attention from its failed policies. The strange thing is that I
have been saying pretty much the same thing in my book, Government by Deception. The best hope
for all of us is a broad, multiracial alliance which attempts to take control via the ballot
box in 2004.
It is something I want to speak to some political parties about, and which we must try to
garner support for both inside and outside South Africa. It may be the only way of picking
up the pieces of Zimbabwe and Namibia in later years.
I have been saying for the last two years, that Zimbabwe could yet be the means by which we
can save South Africa, and now I am seeing more and more hope for this. But, I will need to
see if other people agree with this vision and are willing to buy into it and to support it.
Here is a copy of the pamphlet which Jay Jay has been printing with his limited resources and
has been spreading around SOWETO, South Africa.
TO OUR FELLOW BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS
We have seen it all. We have experienced it and we have tasted it. Our black pioneer African
governments need to be kept in check all the time. The minute you turn your back on them is
the minute everything is looted. By the time your attention is back on them they become very
aggressive, they murder, torture and are intolerant. They will always shift the blame on
the colonial rulers who may have left the reins of power years ago.
It is us the black Africans who help the dictators in Africa to make ourselves suffer. We
tell them we are hungry and they convince us that we are actually growing fatter and happier.
We then help them to spread the message amongst our fellow poor, suffering and now hungrier
folks that our stomachs are lying to us.
Therefore let’s wake up in Africa before it’s too late.
How do we keep our powers that be in check?
Ask yourself, since independence or since the departure of Nelson Mandela “Has my life
improved, is it static or am I poorer? Am I still able to afford the food that my family
used to enjoy despite my salary having gone up? Where are we heading to with this government?”
If you can’t answer these questions to your satisfaction or joy then the answer is ‘the
girlfriend you are staying with is not good for you. Then go for the next who seems to be
offering you a better future.’
Therefore our advice to you South Africans is that you need a strong opposition party, which
then keeps the powers that be in check regardless of the colour, race and affiliations of the
leadership of the said party. Which is the reason why the American and British economies are
flourishing. It’s all because there is a strong opposition, which the people can easily switch
on to in the event where the powers that be fail the people. Let’s not be fooled by people who
keep talking about the liberation struggle, which is now history. We need to look ahead and
better our lives. Let’s not be used by dictators to make ourselves poorer and hungrier as they
tell us to tighten our belts while they loosen their belts and pretend that they are also hungry
despite their unending trips overseas, corruption, attempts to acquire expensive planes while
other folks go hungry with no shelter, jobs or hopes for the future.

Note from Jan Lamprecht:-
People are most welcome to e-mail Jay Jay at the above e-mail address. He can be phoned from
overseas as follows: (43)+27 83 515-0383 (where 27=Country Code, 83=Area Code). He would be most
grateful for any support anyone, anywhere can afford him and the other 2 million blacks who
have fled from Zimbabwe to South Africa. They are also trying to get other Zimbabweans who have
fled Africa to start up similar organizations around the world. They are trying to make a
stand for democracy in Africa and they need all the support we can give them. This may be our
last chance to save Africa.
