Political Career

Hunzvi became chairman of the Zimbabwean Liberation War Veterans Association in 1997?, which, at the time, was almost unheard of in Zimbabwe's political spectrum. Hunzvi was soon organising demonstrations and openly critising President Mugabe for reneging on his promises to compensate war veterans. In this way, and much to Hunzvi's credit as an effective activist, the War Veteran Association became a force Robert Mugabe could not ignore. Mugabe soon agreed to pay a huge sum towards the war veteran community.

By 1999 however, Hunzvi's reputation had diminished since becoming involved in a corruption case regarding the theft of money from the War Veterans Fund. He was never found guilty, though, and in 2000 (at the same time adopting the name "Hitler") he led the campaign that led to the seizure of white-owned land and the deaths and harassment of many supporters of the MDC party (Zimbabwe's only prominent opposition party). 1999 is a common year starting on Friday of the Common Era, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...
