Zimbabwe @ 40 :A Letter To The Freedom Fighters
Victory is sweet.
I thank you freedom fighters for giving us the freedom to be ourselves...proud Africans. You fought whole heartedly following every strategy. We sang and rejoiced in our mother tongues. We believed that nothing will bring us down again:
"Zimbabwe will never be a colony again"
You gave women and children the platform to exercise their right to be who they are. It was indeed a dawn of a new era. We transitioned and grew some more.
Look at Zimbabwe now, the home of the beautiful falls...Mosia-Tunya. We have Gwenyambirakadzis playing African sounds singing about our journey to the whole world.
"Zimbabwe yakauya nehondo vakomana nehondoo"
We dance culturally with no one chasing us with armery. We can be educated without limitations, we can go all the way to university level. We are proud Africans because of you and today we celebrate your victory.
But I would want you to know that all that glitters is not gold. We are celebrating 40 years of independence but it does not feel the same anymore. We have lost our ways. We are sinking slowly. We have been clouded by corruption and constant fights for control.
