HARARE -- As the Zanu PF central committee met at party headquarters on Friday down the road at the New Ambassador Hotel one of Mugabe's former Zanu colleagues, Enos Nkala, was telling journalists that he would fight to the last drop to ensure that Mugabe does not win next year's election, TalkZimbabwe has heard.
"He is a savage with total disregard for human life," said Nkala, one of the prominent figures in the founding of Zimbabwe's struggle for liberation.
The original Zanu party was formed in his house in 1963, and after independence in 1980 he served in the new government for a decade before falling out with the president.
He said Mugabe's recent crackdown on MDC members and innocent civilians, which has involved abductions and severe beatings, showed the president's "primitive and uncultured nature".
Nkala questioned Mugabe's background.
"He talks about his mother always, where is his father?" Ask him; he cannot trace his lineage any further than two generations.
"It takes a primitive, non-polished mind full of savagery to do this [persecuting the opposition]. I am prepared to die for what I am saying."
Nkala blamed Mugabe for having "demolished" the process of reconciliation between Zimbabwe and Britain after independence through his one-man rule.
As for next year's election, he said he would side with the recently formed opposition party Patriotic Union of Matabeleland, led by his son Leonard. - TalkZimbabwe ----- ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

| APR 08 • Nkala's words,"I am prepared to die for what I am saying." I will happilly attend his funeral. His hands are as bloody as his former handler Mugabe. I propose that Nkala & Mugabe must be cremated under watchful eyes of anyone who cares. These ashes should then be scattered in different dust bins lest they regroup......... I for one do not trust the genes of these two. Jonathan Moyo is no diferent to Nkala either. | |

| APR 08 • Preposterous! Utterly pathetic. At a time when all opposition in Zimbabwe should be uniting into one single omnipresent force to oust the murderous regime of Robert Gabriel Mugabe, some people are still forming new political parties based on tribal or regional lines. Now how stupid can you get? This is the sort of nonsense Zimbabweans should not be doing if we really want to see Bob's exit from power. | |

| APR 07 • We need to jog a few peeps memories. Zimbabwe Rejects Charges That Detainees Are Tortured REUTERS Published: November 20, 1985 Zimbabwe has rejected charges by Amnesty International that it has increased the detention and torture of suspected Government opponents, the country's embassy in Britain said today. Zimbabwe's Home Affairs Minister, Enos Nkala, met Monday with officials of Amnesty International, the London-based human rights organization, and said its report contained false allegations. Amnesty reported beatings, electric shocks and other torture at Government detention camps since a general election in Zimbabwe in July. An embassy spokesman said Mr. Nkala expressed a willingness to meet with anyone who had been tortured if Amnesty International were to produce him. He also said anyone guilty of torture would be prosecuted. An Amnesty International spokesman described the meeting as useful but said the organization would not bring forth people who had provided evidence of torture. | |

| APR 06 • I remember the revulsion with which Enos Nkala was regarded during the Gukurahundi years. I remember too the blood curdling threats about how he would subdue the Ndebele people. The memories are still quite fresh, because in that fateful period, I lost my only brother. The circumstances were very unclear but when irrationality is the order of the day, even accidental deaths raise suspicion. I am not one that believes that transformed, if indeed that is what has happened, individuals should be shut out of progress for Zimbabwe. There are few untainted by the madness unleashed by Mugabe, in pursuit of power. The way forward, surely would be to engage the authors of the evil system that befell our country. O course this takes a leap of faith, what if these people area only tring a cosmetic exercise just to sanitise their warped minds that led to the evils they perpetrated on our people. Perhaps Nkala can make good his distance from the evil one. If he actually died for the cause, I would be totally convinced that his words were not just demagoguic utterings of one that has seen that Mugabe's, and hopefully old ZANU's world is over! | |

| APR 06 • Patriotic Union of Matebeleland, what a joke. At a time when everyone is advocating the changing of the provincial name, a "genius" finds it fit to call his party such. Nkala, hush. | |

| APR 05 • Nkala did not "participate" in the Gukurahundi massarces nor was he complicit. Nkala then understood the "diplomacy of the gun". Shut up or be killed yourself. Nkala chose to keep his mouth shut (then). As a minister in Mugabe's gvt, do you really think he could have done something on his own to stop the 5th brigade. I don't think so. | |

| APR 05 • Vumani you missed the point. The people who were booted out of Zanu PF are distancing themselves from Mugabe. Nkala was the Minister Of Defence during Gukurahundi. Talk Zimbabwe must solicit an explanation from him what happened during Gukurahundi and tell us what happened. Even wikipedia says he was complicit in Gukurahundi. Tell him confession is good for the soul. Tekere thinks he is smart when he says Mugabe did not kill Tongogara but that is a ploy(as Mugabe's point man at that time) to distance himself from that cowardly act of assassinating Tongogara. | |

| APR 05 • This is another hypocrytical individual how can he seek to condemn Mugabe after all these years, when Mugabe unleashed the 5th Brigade to eliminate the people of Midlands and Matebeleland Mr Nkala remained silent he has gone to the extent of saying that he will make some revelations in his memiors which are supposed to published when his dead. I wouldn't take such a man seriously he was part of the establishment his comments should be treated with utmost caution. |

I wonder if Nkala's son was not a political somebody if Nkala would have come out of his political retirement. Anyone who takes him(Nkala) seriously either has a short memory or was not born when Nkala was threatening to unleash his "army" on innocent genuine people after he was implicated in the Willowvale scandal. Nkala should keep his "high moral" mutterings to himself because i certainly aint listening, hope his comments are treated with the contempt they deserve.
