Our party must continue to strike fear in the heart of the white man, our real enemy!

I have been given a list of 35 white farmers in Mashonaland West alone. We say no to whites owning our land, and they should go... They can own companies and apartments... but not the soil. It is ours, and that message should ring loud and clear in Britain and the United States.

I have died many times. I have actually beaten Jesus Christ because he only died once.

There are things one must do for oneself.
