Editorial MIRACLES VS. REALITIES Recently, the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, speaking before his European Conmon Market pay-masters and Bishop Abel Muzorewa, speaking before his own bosses in Washington D.C., both bitterly denounced the Western powers for having little or no faith in miracles. From the two clerics' point of view, the Bible is clear: with faith, man can command mountains to move and they will. It was, therefore, scandalous, that no one should accept that the deal they concluded with Ian Smith on March 3rd, 1978, was as genuine a marvellous event due to some supernatural agency as the feeding, by Christ, of 5 000 people with seven loaves of bread and two fishes. The Western capitalist bosses can be excused for having less faith in miracles than the two Rhodesian priests. After all, their industrial revolution had been due to science and technology. When Germans and Americans want a mountain to move, they are more in the habit of hiring an engineering firm to move it than approaching their parish priests for prayers! The Patriotic Front, the Front-Line states, the O.A.U., the United Nations, all sovereign states, all international institutions and organisations have refused to recognize the so-called 'Internal Settlement', not-so, much because they are of little faith (Bishop Muzorewa and Rev. Sithole should not judge so they be not judged!), but because earthly experience suggests to them that the deal was a rotten, treacherous, criminal and opportunistic strategy on the part of Ian Smith, Bishop Muzorewa, Rev. Sithole and Chief Chirau. True, Bishop Muzorewa believes, that Ian Smith has completely changed. While many believe that St. Paul converted and repented, while on his mission to commit more tortures, massacres and barbarities on christians, few believe that history may be repeating itself in the case of Ian Smith. Many who have observed Muzorewa, Sithole and Chirau, revel in their new wealth (air-conditioned homes, limousines, spacious offices, guards, fat pay-checks) doubt that these men follow Ian Smith on account of the latter's recent conversion as a result of a recent confrontation with God and the holy spirit. They rather suspect that two clerics may be using God's name in vain, to camouflage their selfish lust for power and money at the expense of the rights and interests of the seven million Zimbabweans. Besides, Bishop Muzorewa's later-day St. Paul still murders, tortures and massacres women and children all over Zimbabwe and in various refugee camps in Mozambique, Zambia and Botswana. Besides, people have rejected the "Internal Settlement" not so nruch because it does not appear to be a marvellous event due to some supernatural agency, but because it obviously ignores the facts. The facts, as earthly mortals see them, are, that the seven million people of Zimbabwe, under the leadership of the Patriotic Front, their sole and authentic representative - are determined to die to the man or woman in opposition to it. Their armed forces, under the joint Command of Comrade Presidents Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo, have sworn to smash Ian Smith and the holy puppets, by arms.
