		Hunzvi first came to prominence when he was arrested at the age of 16 for supporting the nationalist struggle.
		In 1999, Hunzvi appeared in court for allegedly embez zling Z$45m of the war veterans' funds, but the trial was repeatedly postponed: last year, the veterans association called him a "shepherd turned wolf".
		Hunzvi's collapse in Bulawayo on May 21 was attributed to suspected malaria; although no official cause of death was announced by the state news media, medical sources say that he died of Aids.

		Hunzvi vehemently proclaimed his loyalty to Robert Mugabe's government and to Zanu-PF but was given to comparing himself to Che Guevara, Napolean Bonaparte and even Jesus Christ, making no secret of his ambitions to rise to the highest office in Zimbabwe.
		As far as is known, Chenjerai Hunzvi was born to a peasant family in the midlands of Zimbabwe in 1949, and received very little formal education or training of any kind.
		Hunzvi did study medicine in Warsaw but there is no evidence of his ever having qualified as a doctor, although he claimed to have done so.

		The condition of Chenjerai Hitler Hunzvi, 51, Zimbabwe's war veterans' leader and member of parliament, deteriorated to the point where he was placed on a life-support system in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at Harare's Parirenyatwa Hospital.
		Hunzvi, one of President Robert Mugabe's staunchest supporters, was admitted into the hospital on Wednesday - a day after he was released from the same institution.

		Mugabe said Hunzvi “deserves the halo of a national hero” but Learnmore Jongwe, spokesman for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, said the Polish-trained doctor was being “rewarded for extortion, murder, theft, violence and torture”.
		Hunzvi described himself as one of history’s great “revolutionaries” and gave Napoleon, Che Guevara and his chosen namesake -- Adolph Hitler -- as examples of those he believed would stand beside him in that hall of fame.
		Hunzvi and his like could never have come to exercise the influence they did without both the Rhodesian Front’s reckless disregard for African opinion, and the sort of sentimentalist inanities we heard Young trotting out here last week.

		Chenjerai "Hitler" Hunzvi, who has died in Zimbabwe at the age of 51, was an alarming mixture of intelligence, charm and viciousness.
		According to Wieslawa, Hunzvi beat her so badly that the police had to be called and she had to go to hospital.
		Initially, Hunzvi was proud to have a white wife, but then his behaviour became increasingly irrational and once again violent, and Wieslawa fled the country.

	BBC News \| AFRICA \| Profile: War Veterans' leader 'Hitler' Hunzvi
		The reason behind the campaign to neutralise Mr Hunzvi can be traced back to 1997, when he led his supporters in a violent campaign to secure pensions from the government in recognition of their contribution to the liberation war.
		Mr Hunzvi and his organisation remained on the brink of political oblivion until the government's shock defeat in February in a referendum on a proposed new constitution.
		President Mugabe and the ruling party have unleashed Mr Hunzvi and his followers, partly to punish white voters for their perceived role in bringing about the government's defeat in the referendum and partly as a warning to the whole country of the potentially violent consequences of electoral defeat for Zanu-PF.

		CHENJERAI Hitler Hunzvi is the public face of Zimbabwe's land invasions: his pronouncements on white farmers and the rights of "war veterans" have been transmitted across the world as the dapper, erstwhile medical doctor marches onto farms with his rag-tag band of followers.
		Still, Hunzvi - baptised Hitler, he changed his name to Chenjerai during the liberation war - is hardly an old soldier fighting for the neglected former combatants of Zimbabwe's colonial struggle.

		Hunzvi was the third of Mugabe's closest political associates to die in the past two months, fuelling speculation about a conspiracy to weaken Mugabe's ruling ZANU-PF by opposition party Movement for Democratic Change.
