Our Emmerson!!!

There are rare moments in the middle of the pressures of daily life when we suddenly are struck by the feeling that everything before us is history, and that a new world is now being born. We experience the birth pangs of all that is young and new, and realize that this new world is replacing the old and sinking one, with all its peculiarities, tenseness and prejudice. If there are men who make history, if great historical developments are the product of individual personalities, then the riddle of our era is to be explained only by the grace of a brilliant human being. It is no cliché to say that everything we experience today and for which we expend our best energies would not be, or at least would be very different, were it not for one man who forged the path and showed the way, giving meaning, content, and direction to our age. We are experiencing the greatest miracle that history offers: a genius is building a new world.
When is this more evident than today, as the entire Zimbabwean nation and countless millions beyond its borders send their thanks, their honor, their admiration, their deepest hopes and their unshakable faith in him and his historic mission, the President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa on his inauguration? They are the feelings that most deeply move each Zimbabwean above all. There will be in this hard year of economic quagmire no noisy popular festivals, no parades, no splendid public performances. But these feelings are expressed even more deeply and warmly by those who do their daily duty, be it by our best men in public offices men at the barracks or in manufacturing industries. The Zimbabwean people honors their new President by pledging redoubled efforts to support his work. Our love and honor for him give wings to our struggle and to our work for economic regeneration.
Each of us knows this today. We gave no illusions as we fight to recover our long-lost prosperity. We all know that it is a process, that demands loyalty work and honesty. We know that its outcome will determine our national life. We know that it must be won by the whole people for the whole people, and that a Zimbabwean prosperity will mean that the country is firmly guarded on all sides and that its national existence is secured. That will give our people the possibility to live and work politically and economically.
Our confidence rests on security. Our people do not know, and do not even want to know, what the President is planning and how he will gain them prosperity. They simply trust him. He will choose the right way, as he has always done. As he has dismantled the political weevils without peoples knowledge of his plans. Our people have no worries over their current problems, they believe him he that speaks less but acts swiftly in their interests. before the G40 cabal had put a final death nail to our political and economic life. President Emmerson disbanded their plans in days, destroying the whole evil that had taken our country captive, the Zimbabwean people were more pleased than surprised. They saw only renewed confirmation of their faith in the New Leader Our people know that if the nation is loyal, obedient and dutiful, and if each does his job honestly Zimbabwe is unbeatable and victory after victory will accompany us in all sectors.
What enormous strength lies in this confidence! How childish and silly, to the contrary, are the repeated stupid efforts by MDC political merchants to shake this confidence, to bring the people in conflict with the gvt, to weaken the confidence of our people by lying and spreading rumors. Every Zimbabwean citizen today must know that we have only suffered when we succumbed to such a temptation.
This hour we look back along the path we have followed since the day he took office, and forward to what is still shrouded in darkness, illuminated by the light of our faith. It is the path to final prosperity. We have never believed in it as firmly as we do today. Emmerson Mnangagwa leads us, and that is the best foundation of our confidence.
When Facebook and twitter politicians from the MDC spoke recently about the outcome of his presidential term, they declared that Zimbabwe would be worse., they also declare that they will win elections just did not know how. We reply: Emmerson will win because he also knows how he will win. He has filled the nation with his spirit. It is tuned to his will. This time, they will survive the great test of faith that will decide their future, ending the 37 year series of Zimbabwe's mistakes and failures.
A man who has created such things stands far above any words of praise. The nation can only bow in thankfulness before him. We all do that in this hour. We thank the fate that sent us the Crocodile in the midst of our deepest need. We, his supporters are grateful to fate that it gave us in our early years the strength and insight to recognize his greatness and to be with him from the beginning along his eventful way to victory and triumph. Who among us would chose to miss even one day of these last hard years, always filled with battle and work? Who among us does not think it his highest good fortune, indeed the real meaning and fulfillment of his life, to have been with him as he won the poison and hatred, and to be with him now as he is winning the great war for Zimbabwe's life and economy. We only must remain strong, faithful, brave and upright, striding with heads high toward the hour of our proudest triumph.
The entire nation joins in this greeting, and in expressing its deepest and most profound thankfulness for him. Our soldiers bear his names on their lips, wherever they may stand or march. Our workers sing his name as they work. Our men and women in civil service, above all those in the diaspora who defend the nation's sovereignty they all greet him as their supreme commander.
Our farmers and workers greet him as their President and our women thank him for fighting for the future of their children. The Zimbabwean youth gives him their strongest faith. He is ours. He has made this people what it is today. Where would we be if he had not come?
We ask a gracious God to keep him healthy and to grant success to his work for the prosperity of our people. Then we need not fear the future. Then the Zimbabwean people can face the proudest period of their historical development.
