Bonyongwe, who comes from a well-off background by standards of the time, narrates how he grew up, left his village to join the struggle, fought in the liberation war from to , came back home, joined the army from independence to , the CIO from to and his seven weeks stint as Justice minister just before the coup which ousted Mugabe. The succession power struggle was the catalyst of the coup, he says, although a cumulative chain of events led to that.
He says in , the then Minister of State Security Sydney Sekeramayi and him as CIO boss commissioned a well-researched and comprehensive document by done by intelligence experts advising Mugabe that he needed to address the succession issue, with examples from Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and China. Bonyongwe says in while they were returning from a United Nations General Assembly summit, he also gave Mugabe a report on succession during a flight in the presence of former first Lady Grace Mugabe, trying to persuade him to retire.
Bonyongwe went on to have a meeting with Grace after that. She expressed grave concern over the issue and wanted Mugabe to rest; have a dignified exit. In the end, Mugabe refused to resolve the succession issue by retiring voluntarily and as a result the country inexorably slid into a power struggle crisis leading to the coup. Bonyongwe narrates events leading to the coup through his lens as Justice minister and former CIO boss, remarking Mugabe had left it too late to exit with dignity.
