Fare Thee Well Gen Zuze
By Dickson Jere
I have just learnt with sadness the passing of our veteran pilot Lt.Gen Peter Zuze. The Zuze name has been mystical since our early childhood.
Zuze was famous name during our childhood. His name was synonymous to bravery and patriotism.
Legend has it that he flew a fighter Jet into Zimbabwe where he was captured but managed to escape by “skiide” or something like that by leaving huge black smoke. It was all tales but made us shout “Zuze, Zuze, Zuze” each time jets flew over the Republic of Matero.
Zuze was the first indigenous Zambia Air Force (ZAF) Commander.
RIP General!
Ati”skiide”leaving black smoke!
Seeing a fighter jet today,that sounds very funny
