 Mugabe Still Fears Chitepo’s Legacy
Thirty years ago on the morning of March 18, Herbert Chitepo - leader of the Rhodesian liberation movement ZANU - was assassinated when a bomb planted in his Volkswagen Beetle exploded outside his home in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.
The murder of Chitepo - whose remains were found inside the car, which was blown onto the roof of his house by the force of the blast - happened during one of the darkest periods of Zimbabwean liberation politics, when a comparatively unknown ZANU militant, Robert Mugabe, was trying to topple the incumbent 51-year-old leader.
They are said to have seen Chitepo and his militancy as an obstacle to their Machiavellian ruses and he therefore had to be removed.

Herbert Chitepo, a senior office bearer in the Zimbabwe African National Union (Zanu), was killed in a car bomb.
Central to understanding the murder of Chitepo is understanding a rebellion by Zanu cadres on the frontline in Mozambique against their leaders in Lusaka, known as the Nhari rebellion after one of its leaders.
The example of Herbert Chitepo offers a convenient hook on which to show how the founding myths of the nation are used in current political struggles.

 The Insider - Masvingo wrangles: not just a squabble but a fight for survival of the Karanga
The Nhari rebellion in 1973 further weakened the Karanga grip on ZANU but it was Herbert Chitepo's death in 1975 that provided one of the severest blows.
Chitepo's death saw the detention of key Karanga leaders like Josiah Tongogara who were accused of assassinating their leader, a thing that was against all logic because the Karangas already dominated the ruling party and therefore did not really have any person to dispose of Chitepo.
The detention had cowed them well enough to be manipulated against their colleagues who they were led to believe were trying to keep the positions they had assumed while they were in detention.

It ignores the impromptu Zimbabwe Detainees' Defence Committee, which lobbied in the mid-1970s for the Zanu leaders jailed in Lusaka for allegedly assassinating their chairman, Herbert Chitepo.
History reveals that this myth-lie is impossible, and that Zanu PF knew it at the beginning of the road.
Indeed, AI wrote, the Rhodesians seemed to be accepting the idea's good sense: they had allowed a Herbert Musikavanhu a British technical assistance grant to study at Gray's Inn.

 The will to resist - Sokwanele
The first protest was staged by the now battle-proved women of WOZA (Women of Zimbabwe Arise) who already have many such brave acts of civil disobedience to their credit.
However careful the group might have been about security, word of the protest march inevitably reached the ears of the dreaded CIO (Central Intelligence Agency) before the event, and their agents were seen milling around the venue throughout the morning.
The courageous protesters obviously knew that they might be arrested very quickly because they set off down Herbert Chitepo Avenue at a brisk pace, distributing their protest leaflets along the way.
