Douglas Nyikayaramba’s widow is reportedly in pain and asking God why her husband who succumbed to COVID-19 last week had to die, New Zimbabwe reports.
According to the publication, Elina wept uncontrollably and was inconsolable y<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/02/11/national-hero-nyikayaramba-to-be-buried-on-saturday/">esterday at the national hero’s acre</a> where her husband was buried and said she did everything humanly possible for her husband not to die:
<blockquote>Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! Why??? I am a prayerful, faithful servant. I did pray for him to get well. I did my best for him to be healed.</blockquote>
A relative that was close to her reportedly failed to console her as she wept when her husband’s coffin was being lowered into the grave.
While President Mnangagwa who was presiding over the burial of Nyikayaramba took the time to settle a score with those he said are seeking to reverse the gains of the liberation struggle:
<blockquote>I challenge us all to thrive to preserve, defend and protect the legacy that the late Cde Nyikayaramba ‘Blessing Muhondo’ and other heroes bequeathed to us. Citizens must resist to be used as willing tools by those advancing myopic, narrow and alien agendas burnt to slow down and reverse our gains of Independence. We are a united, caring and peace loving people</blockquote>

National Hero Nyikayaramba To Be Buried On Saturday

Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Mozambique, Lieutenant General (Retired) Douglas Nyikayaramba, late, reportedly played critical roles during the violent 2002 and 2008 presidential elections both won by the then president, the late Robert Mugabe. 
Below is a Twitter thread by NewsDay on the highlights of Nyikayaramba’s post-2000 electoral and military career:
<blockquote>Major-General (Retired) Douglas Nyikayaramba is a former Chief of Staff, Administration at the Zimbabwe National Army.
He was listed as a beneficiary in the 2007 RBZ Farm Mechanisation Scheme under the thematic group “Political Referees: Commissions”, and he got a loan totalling to US$169,972 which he never repaid.
Under Mugabe’s “Boys on leave” policy which saw Nyikayaramba among top security chiefs reassigned to key strategic institutions to flush out or neutralize top officials sympathetic to opposition politics from the system.
At the time he was said to have retired but bounced back at army headquarters where he was reassigned to drive “Operation Maguta” working together with Grain Marketing Board.
He again went back to Army before he led a “Mugabe back in office bloody Campaign in March 2008 after the late former leader was defeated in a presidential election by opposition MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai.
Tsvangirai pulled out of the rerun to stem the bloody presidential rerun. Nyikayaramba was to be appointed Chief of Staff at the army headquarters.
Nyikayaramba reportedly retired from the army to become chief elections officer at the then Electoral Supervisory Commission (now Zimbabwe Electoral Commission) in 2002 and 2005 elections and returned as commander of 3 Brigade in Mutare after his “mission” at the elections body had been accomplished.
Nyikayaramba was credited for having played an important role in ensuring a win for late former President Robert Mugabe in the 2002 presidential elections.
Nyikayaramba reportedly forcibly occupied late MDC treasurer-general Roy Bennet’s Charleswood Estate. Bennet had reported bought the farm in 1982 after the government had issued him with a certificate of no present interest.
But when Bennet returned to the farm to collect his late father’s ashes Douglas the opposition leader was arrested.
In October 2016, as Chief of Staff Administration, giving oral evidence before a Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Defence and Security Nyikayaramba, said the country’s economy was not growing and was bleeding because of corruption by some senior government officials.
In September 2017, while addressing an audience of traditional chiefs in Masvingo Nyikayaramba said then President Mugabe should not be forced to resign due to old age. He went on to say Mugabe’s leadership was endorsed by the country’s spirit mediums and religious prophecies.</blockquote>

Nyikayaramba 'Engineered' Mugabe's 2002 & 2008 Electoral Victories - Report

<blockquote>Condolence Message by His Excellency the President, Cde E.D. Mnangagwa following the death of Lieutenant General (Retired) Ambassador Douglas Nyikayaramba. Harare, 9 February 2021
The news of the untimely death this morning of our Ambassador to Mozambique, Lieutenant General (Retired) Douglas Nyikayaramba, at St Annes Hospital in Harare, came as a great shock to me.
When we got to know that he had been admitted to the hospital, our hopes and expectations were for his speedy recovery and return to station in Mozambique at the end of his vacation here at home.
Regrettably, that was not to be as he succumbed to Covid-19 related complications. In the passing on of Lieutenant General Nyikayaramba, Zimbabwe has lost a veteran of the armed liberation struggle, a strong revolutionary cadre who continued to serve his country after Independence with utmost loyalty, dedication and commitment to promoting and safeguarding the country’s territorial integrity and national interests.
His track record in the military speaks volumes about the strong leadership qualities he had which resulted in his meteoric rise to the rank of Lieutenant General, the position he held when he retired from the army in 2019.
His military achievements are a matter of record and too numerous to mention. The honours, titles and decorations that were bestowed on him in the course of his military service crown it all.
Ambassador Nyikayaramba’s death has created a deep void which will be difficult to fill, notably, among his family foremost, our foreign services where he was a remarkable ambassador, in the military where he served with distinction and honour, and in civilian portfolios where he chaired numerous boards.
On behalf of the Party, ZANU PF, Government, the people of Zimbabwe, my family, and indeed on my behalf, I wish to convey my sincere condolences to the Nyikayaramba family, especially to his wife and the children, who have lost a dear husband, father and mentor. 
May they take comfort from the knowledge that we are together with them during this their darkest hour of grief.
May his dear soul rest in Eternal Peace.
E.D. Mnangagwa
President of the Republic of Zimbabwe
9/02/21</blockquote>

Ambassador To Mozambique Douglas Nyikayaramba Dies

The Zimbabwe Embassy has resumed consular services in Eswatini and Mozambique, Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Mozambique Douglas Nyikayaramba has confirmed.
The operations resumed this week following their suspension at the peak of coronavirus-induced lockdowns across the SADC region.
Nyikayaramba revealed that a team of four officers from the embassy in Maputo had since travelled to the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) to provide consular services to Zimbabweans living there. He said:
<blockquote>An estimated 300 nationals were served over a two-day period between 9 and 10 November.
The consular visit was in response to a request made by the Association of Zimbabweans resident in eSwatini.</blockquote>
Nyikayaramba said they had attended to Zimbabweans requiring mainly travel documents, temporary travel documents, passport application forms and births registration. He added:
<blockquote>We have noted that there is a need for the revival of quarterly visits to reduce the backlog.
The consular services are sort of seasonal, towards holidays when people want to travel, end of the year and beginning of year/school calendar.</blockquote>
Since the beginning of the lockdowns in March, the embassy has facilitated the repatriation of over 400 Zimbabwean nationals from Mozambique and 80 others from Eswatini, Nyikayaramba said.

The development was confirmed by Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Mozambique Douglas Nyikayaramba who said this to ZBC:
<blockquote>I can confirm that the Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe to the Republic of Mozambique in Maputo is repatriating Zimbabwean nationals mainly cross-border traders who were caught up in the State of Emergency declared on 31st March 2020 by His Excellency President (Filipe) Nyusi to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.
To date, a total of 252 nationals have departed Maputo for Harare via Chicualacuala/Sango Border Post in five separate groups.</blockquote>

Retired Reassigned Senior Army Generals Promoted

The Deputy Minister for Defence and War Veterans Affairs Victor Matemadanda on Thursday said that no armoury was broken into during the January riots.
This contradicts the utterances made by Zimbabwe Defence Forces Chief of Staff Major-General Douglas Nyikayaramba who claimed on Wednesday that criminals stole uniforms and arms before going on the rampage, killing and maiming citizens in the suburbs.
Matemadanda was responding to a question from MDC Alliance Masvingo Senator Tichinani Mavetera in the Senate on Thursday. Mavetera had asked:
<blockquote>We have heard allegations that the army armoury was raided and uniforms taken, and that is scary for us as a people.
We want the minister to tell us the magnitude of what happened and where it happened so that we know as a nation that our armoury is in safe hands because at the end we do not want a situation such as that in Somalia where everyone has a gun.</blockquote>
In response Matemadanda said:
<blockquote>I do not have information about an armoury having been broken into. The senator must put his question in writing so that we investigate and see whether any armoury was broken into because armoury is not situated at any special cantonment area.</blockquote>

Deputy Defence Minister, Matemadanda Not Aware Of Any Guns Being Stolen By Thugs

The Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) has sensationally claimed that protestors broke into police armouries and stole guns which they used to kill citizens, including a police officer during the January fuel riots.
While addressing the media in Harare on Monday, ZDF Chief of Staff, Major-General Douglas Nyikayaramba said that the army was not responsible for the brutal crackdown on civilians but used minimum force. He blamed deserters from the military for the killing of citizens. Said Nyikayaramba:
<blockquote>Following the deployment of the ZDF, there have been a number of serious allegations levelled against us, including human rights abuses, rape, assaults, extortion and others.
It is important to state that the ZDF’s response was commensurate to the level of violence and damage caused by the protesters.
Soldiers were deployed to patrol the streets and if there are soldiers who could have acted overboard, investigations will be conducted.
We have been flashing out rogue elements and we have a challenge that some of them ran away with our uniforms. Some of the uniforms are stolen on washing lines, which other people use to perpetrate criminal activities.
Some of the uniforms are taken from deceased people. We have not been collecting them and it’s a weakness in the system. We urge all those with the uniforms to return them. Some have started returning them and there is a heap in Epworth from people surrendering them.
There is no terrorism in Zimbabwe. There is no insurgency. It is only the acts of those criminal elements.</blockquote>

President Mnangagwa Piqued By Spelling Error At Tongogara Barracks

Addressing chiefs during commemorations of the Traditional Leaders’ Day at 4 Brigade headquarters in Masvingo last Friday, Zimbabwe National Army Major General Douglas Nyikayaramba urged chiefs to ensure President Robert Mugabe wins the 2018 elections.
Said Nyikayaramba:
<blockquote>Did anyone ever say to a traditional chief that you are old, leave the chieftainship for me? That is unheard of. What will happen to the chief’s aides? We need to remind each other. No chief was voted for. No son has ever ordered his father to step down from his role as leader of the family, so the same applies to our case with President Mugabe. That is what we should remind each other when we meet. Whites want divide-and-rule, and they saw that Mugabe is the nerve centre of the country. Let us not sell the country for the love of sugar. We are here to strengthen the relationship between chiefs.</blockquote>
The Constitution requires chiefs to be non-partisan.
