Zanu PF is not Zimbabwe- analyst

A political commentator Godknows Kudzanayi Mashaire has warned Zimbabweans to stop seeing Zanu PF and politicians as Zimbabwe.

He said everybody believes in Zimbabwe except Zimbabweans themselves.

"Zanu-PF is not Zimbabwe, politicians are not Zimbabwe. It is not the government, Zimbabwe is the millions of children in schools who needs our direction, inspiration, support and guidance, whose future depends on our action today," he said. "Zimbabwe is the millions of tons of diamonds, platinum, gold, nickel, tin, asbestos, cobalt, natural gas and the vast fertile lands that perpetually awaits our innovation and craftiness. Leaders come and go, but the nation remains."

He said a nation can never be greater than the sum of action of her citizens.

"Young people of Zimbabwe need to unite to create a system that can pass by the corruption and disdain going on, we are the finest intellectuals on the continent," he said. "The old generation cannot change, it is us the young people who can bring forth a new order of things that can render the old system redundant and that can only be through unity, working together in the spirit of Africa and self pride."

The analyst said Africa is waiting for Zimbabweans to organise themselves and help lead a Federal United States of Africa with one military, one passport and one currency backed by the vast natural resources on the continent to provide an alternative to the West, China and Russia.

"There is no need to be ashamed to be Zimbabwean, this is a challenge to build a new system with our own hands and you should take it," he said.
