Possibly the best show on Trevor and she is brutally honest. Part 2 is needed and allow her time to explain things
One of the very best from Zimbabwe. Tinokudai vatete vedu Margaret Dongo. Tinotenda.
Where are the authors in this country? This kind of information is what our children need to be taught. History must be preserved.
Exactly what i was thinking that those who are gifted when it comes to writing should write all this rich information and archive it for the coming generations because these heroes are going out with all these untold stories.
How I adored this woman growing up. She is my hero thank you Trevor 💃🏾😍👏🏾
Honestly, the lady sacrificed alot . Imagine your form two daughter informing you 'This is my last holiday with you' ' it teared me up. Thank you Bhudi for recognizing our heroine , I always reflect on her contribution towards the issue of Lookout Masuku's reburial and hero's status. We find our Ubuntu pride in you .
Mr Trevor, this is one of the most inspiring shows I have ever watched. This woman is intelligent, she brims confidence and values that we should all aspire to have. I love the way she splashes humor regularly the entire conversation. She is so articulate and emotionally present. She still has a very important part to play in the betterment of our country. Cant wait for part two of the conversation.
Sorry, 1975 Marie was 15yrs then 1980 she was 20yrs
We definitely need part 2. This woman has a story to tell. Thank you for your great sacrifice
This conversation left me with teared eyes towards the end, reflected that there a number of people who died to liberate a whole generation of youths who are so so passive to national developmental issues.
We need part 2 of this episode, she just introduced herself on this one😂
Agreed 🤣🤣
Definitely
We do need another part
Can we kindly have more of her please , also if you could put some subtitles when she speaks the beautiful language Shona , very inspiring discussion and thought provoking. Thank you Trevor for giving true heroes their platform 😊
She brought memories of streambank farming,my gogo's munda was by where econet microwave link base station is in Willowvale
Yes
Trever,i don't know where you were rushing to but this is one of the best conversations you ever had....please bring her back,she can go for 3 hrs it's fi e
She is fierce and fearless! A force! Would love to listen to her again, and again, and again!
All I can say is THANK YOU for a candid interview.
You are welcome.
I was a kid then (now in my mid 30s), there is this lady who is holding ground, a strong voice as the opposition. She was beautiful, l saw my mom; eloquent and intelligent. Dear God bless her as she lives to tell Zimbabwe’s story, a story abt herself too.
Thanks trevor for having such icons on the show.
However, please allow such stories to be told in full. To that effect how abt pt 2 to this ICONIC LADY, what’s she up to, what’s she seeing, big lessons in our day please.
Fey
We definitely need her back- part 2. I really liked this lady when she was still active in politics. I can still see the fire is still there.
Powerful conversation Maggie and Trevor. I'm loving it.
Mkoma Trevor, we need a part 2 for our galant living Heroine, l can sit all day and listen to her wise words, for the Zimbabwe we want. Hers is a sad story, yet so valiant she believed in a free democratic society of equals. Much respect to our galant War Veterans 🇿🇼👏👏👏👏
The best episode for me so far. Thank you Trevor for bringing Ms Dongo to the platform.
Very insightful. I hope Margaret Dongo will write a biography. Her life deserves to be in the history books. Cheers to brave women.
I was inspired by Cde Margret Dongo's story. She is so down to earth with life. She is a living heroine with the people of Zimbabwe at heart. Keep it up Cde Margret Dondo
I love her. She is a force!! I don't think we will ever have a generation that will be as brave and courageous🙌🏾
Now Simon Chimbetu's song Zimbabwe makes a whole different kind of sense after listening to this.
What an interview Trevor Well done .I remember Margaret for her resilience .An outspoken Lady .💕
She has a lot to share...How about a part 2
I would love to watch a second part. What an amazing woman! You definitely made my day.
You are still respected and loved.
One of your best interviews ever Trevor. I had to watch till the end and was left wanting to hear more. She is a heroine and a brave daughter of Zimbabwe
Trevor please bring all key people even the president, vp even army commanders post and present. I enjoy your conversations you unpack a lot we didntbknow about people's struggles
No need for anyone in current leadership, they are liars. Its better we hear the untold stories from heroes and heroines like Cde Margaret Dongo.
No need pres whoo
A long over due interview. Margaret Dongo is a true patriot. What a great interview Trevor! Another important record for future generations. Yes you must have her back on. We need more inside info on how zpf works and what hope there is for the future. Also what her honest opinion is on the other triple C she never discussed😉
True indeed Magret Dongo has done her part when she was trying to bring the politics of the 21st century but it was difficult for citizens that time to understand her well. I remember very well when she was the member of parliament for sunningdale. She worked for her constituency
loving your composure ma'am, what an excellent narration, thanks Trevor.
3C's commitment,courage and confidence. Definitely waiting for part.
Great interview Trevor. I feel Margie has a lot to unpack. Part 2 and 3 please. Lets hear more about, where we went wrong,How she thinks the country should be run, whats her political standing is at the moment. We used to call her ,"The controvercial Margaret " when we were school going age. Its good to see that she is still brave to speak her mind.
I could sit around a fire listening to mama Maggie's stories all night. She has a lot to unpack. Great interview
What an interview! Part 2 would be in order.
@@tendaitavagadza2530 Very True or a 4 part series will do lol
This was enlightening and, thank you so much Margaret for sharing the story of your life. This will definitely inspire a lot of people, especially the girl child. Mukoma Trevor, without fail, we need her back in the studio sooner rather than later.
Mukoma Trevor nhasi mapedza masports. I watched this interview 3 times (I swear I have never done that before). i am a born-free and unfocused youth but this is way better than watching Mai Tt's scripted drama meant to divert the attention of the unfocused youths. This is the first time I publicly heard someone owning up about the abuse that women went through during the struggle. I vividly remember watching the movie Flame Lily in the 90s which briefly touched on this subject. I believed it when I saw it on that movie although I had never heard anyone talk about it.
Our heroines have a lot to say, they need a voice, their stories need to be documented and a good movies need to come out of it. Thank you for bringing Cde Margie. I do concur, a part 2 and good movie is needed.
I have been waiting for this interview for quite a long time, You never cease to impress and inspire Mhamha. Without you, I am a zero. I would have liked the interview to be longer!!!!
I have been waiting for this gallant fighter, for a long time to speak, I am glad she is a heroine and, hope sunning dale will always honour her with befitting merits she deserves
Harare South of the 90s
We need part 2, 3, 4, and 5 :) This lady is a phenomenal story teller!
I have admired this woman since I was young, she was always stubborn and a troublemaker in a good way
She always started trouble, good trouble that is…
Kkkkkkk you she is not stubborn knows her rights
Trevor, We need a part 2 of this discussion, Margaret gave a very in-sighful presentation but i think she has much more to share with us.
We need a part 2. This lady had a lot of information
Margie you're one of a kind and continue to be loved. Hope to see more of you !!! Great interview Mr Ncube.
Yes, please have Margaret back again❤. Inspiring.
the true heroes that we do not celebrate..
Proudly Ndau!am happy you crossed through my place sis Maggie-Zona Estate!Cant wait for part 2 Trevor
Worth the wait. Thank you for reminding us about the sacrifice made for the people of Zimbabwe and more importantly what a representative is meant to be.
Thank you Trevor and Margaret Waal
Trevor Margaret is voice for whom we have all day to listen to. Please consider inviting her back. I stopped everything I was doing to listen to her every word. Our country has an opportunity to hear the 1st hand accounts of how we got to this moment and use the baton to move forward. Thank you for inviting Margaret a true heroine
Intelligent , insightful and proper war veteran....
Wow. A powerful interview. She's fierce and courageous.
She walked were others are now running.... Engaging and interesting conversation...as young people especially us the CCC we can learn a lot from her
Best one ever. Someone please do a documentary of her journey
Maybe she should do a book.
She is a real icon principled to the core .Part 2 is a must
aaaaw that moment when she held her pregnant mother's hand when her mother fell 💔💔💔
1995, almost all UZ students were supporting her, Dongo For President! including the then student leaders like Brian Kagore, War lord etc. Then we were tear gassed, and the UZ closed for a week.
Must have been the same year when cops were alleged to have accidentally shot bystanders (as they pursued robbers, in George Silundika, close to the Police Post... in protest students brought Harare to a standstill. Harare resembled a war zone after those demos...
@@lukachapeyama, yes, I was there. We pulled a dead young vendor, just opposite the main old former central Post office, and someone, burned the police car.
Well said Honourable Margie.
she got me glued. thanks Cde Tichatonga Muhondo.. ngavadzokezve Cde Tich
these stories are educative i hope more will come out .The current political tragectory is supressing all these unique stories
Definitely Trevor you need to bring her back. She still has a lot to talk about. Such a wealth of experience and very enlightening.
My biggest take away from this profound conversation is that our problems do not need a politician. As the slogan says "iwe neni tinebasa". Thank you for the show
Thank you for the conversation. More and much more thanks to the Veterans for their sacrifices. However, for me, we now must acknowledge that, indeed, the gvt has done quite a lot in show of gratitude to the veterans. True, the majority of them are living in poverty, BUT, that is not to say they were not given the capacity at one time. There are a lot of intervention measures the gvt took to empower and thank them, among them free basic and tertiary education in early independence years, the gratuities that among others, helped bankrupt the country, the land reform and allocations they got.
This crybaby mentality should stop and people start to become responsible for their actions. There is no government that can be everything to everyone! The empowerment they were given in all those interventions, infact should place them well ahead in their social and economic standing today. If there is something maybe for the government to do now, is to ensure they are better equiped for economic participation by way of knowledge. Then they pull themselves up by their own bootstraps!!!!!
The idea was not to desroy the country, but you did it so well.
great interview, she was a firebrand politician, bring her back
We have heard part 1 introduction now patiently waiting for part 2.
Thank you for bringing this up Margaret Even out of training camps in the communities where the vanamukomas were operating young girls as young as 12 were being abused and raped willy nilly They didn't care. Recently we have been allegations of statutory rape by Mnangagwa to Susan Mutami and Themba Mliswa is tyring by all means to protect Mnangagwa and silence the nation. Thank you for bringing the abuse issues up I wish those affected from the camps could be brave enough to say it all. They deserve justice
Thanks Trevor for this piece of conversation its been so interesting its full truth
What a firebrand!! One of the few bravest human beings l know.
What an inspirational woman. 👏🏿 I was so engaged . Thank you for your service ma'am
She still has a lot to offer, plz bring here back for 2nd and 3rd time
I like this channel. The conversations are very insightful. Thank you Trevor.
Thanks mkoma Trevor, give us part 2 - we want the untold truth.
Part 2 needed
I am surprised that we have been talking of women's rights but not even the women who have been under severe suppression (kumbunyikidzwa kwakanyanyisa) have the courage to deal with the real atrocities.
Enjoyed it - she is amazing, one of the best. Part 2 please
Thank u Trevor for such a show patiently waiting for part 2
Margaret Dongo and Tekere were the first to viciously attacked Mugabe who had declared one party state and Mugabe taking no action against corrupt ministers like Kangai etc.
Goodness Gracious Me!!!! That was quite powerful. I feel there is loads more to delve into here. Wow wow wow!!!!!!!❤️🖤💚
netflix should pick this story up and make a docy or movie
True fighter of our struggle for freedom yes not fake we have today
She had so much to say,bring her back for part 2
You are a blessing to us mhamha, you fought a big fight to our freedom
Emotional and very touching.
We need a Part 2 Trevor
Iwe neni tine basa, impressed 👌
lets give our true cadre a part 2 😊😊😊
From.the maize fields of England I am listening to you.🙏
She clearly said little developments in these three yrs and gave an example of Beatrice road which was on the plan for decades. She mentioned as well the Chitungwiza railway line as an example meaning there is little dev, saying Chitungwiza railway line project could have been given to an investor as a turn-in-key project or a lease. Mugabe gvt nd the current republic didn’t do so due to love of the kickbacks etc. Also the mentioning of little developments she did doesn’t necessarily mean she is defending the corruption which is going on wt it, she criticised the system here and there if my memory saves me well. Yes there is little dev tho not in line or proportions wt the output of our natural resources and it’s not meaningful at the moment l do agree % with u bro. The projects are paid more than the actual costs ie double if not treble hence the need to harness the leakages and do more projects.
My all time heroine...Please bring her back again we need part 2...She is so full of information..These are the kind of leaders we need in bodies like ZEC..Also bring Mai Mujuru too
Very Explosive And Nerve Wracking Interview. I can't wait for Part II
I feel so sad. It seems no black generation after colonization has tasted freedom. It sounds like the current govt adopted colonial laws.
Agree 💯per cent those men who are still alive today must be brought to book. And face justice no one is above the law.
Women have been abused for a long time men in Zimbabwe are still abusing the girlchild till this day.
Why should they go free whiteout facing those women who they abused during the war and they have children who do not know who their fathers are.
During the war they used to sing songs of not sleeping with women but they were abusing those women . We need justice for those women now.
#thesuperpowerofthegirlchild
This is arguably one of your best interviews Trevor. The story of what really happened during the One Party state inception era of the late 80s and early 90s needs to be told from an independent point of view.
Brilliant and valiant woman
Well done my brother for bringing this gamba reZimbabwe. I am eternally indebted to Cde Margaret for her advice and support during some dark periods of my life in the 80s.
Trevor wau I like Margaret Dongo sure l once supported her in Sunningdale wau Margaret was bold and we Sunningdale women we loved her long live Margaret one day tables will turn l want her to remember people esp ladies love u can't u join Chamisa nyika yaipa wena hey may God extent your life spun thank you Trevor but please put dates on such program
No!
Very interesting and insightful interview. It hits hard when she spoke about rape and abuse of women in the camps
I’m happy you gave me a reason to go vote as I was staying in Sunningdale.
l remember suggesting her on the platform
Thank you 🙏🏿
... no winners in war, this was a convo and half
Mr Trevor kindly call again this very important lady in our history!!
Master Class what a woman 👠 these are brave woman we need in Zimbabwe not vana madam stop it nevamwewo avo.
She represents change
