Tendai Nyatsanga

The Sloganist Tendai Nyatsanga

Comrade Freedom is an adventure story in the cause of freedom in Zimbabwe told with zest and high spirits. Tendai Nyatsanga has a sharp eye for human character and all the qualities that must have gone into building the character of the successful liberation fighters in Rhodesia in the seventies. From Leo Tanga's (Comrade Freedom) adolescence in a prosperous family in a rural village to his young manhood in the ZANU Youth Wing in Highfields Township to months spent in Salisbury's notorious Central Prison to training in Mozambique and a return to the War of Liberation, this is a story told with great fidelity to the psychology and history of the times and a passion for discovering all the complex reasons that the fighters fought and won the war.
