Zimbabweans are beginning to free themselves

A Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) official and renowned activist Collins Descent Bajila has said the civil unrest at the Beitbridge border is an indication that Zimbabweans are yearning for freedom.
Bajila, a frenzied Facebook user, also said the citizen led protests and demonstrations which have hit Zimbabwe in the past few months implied that masses were tired of Zanu PF and opposition (parties) bondage, adding that political parties were just power hungry for self enrichment at the expenses of citizens.
Wrote Bajila on Facebook today, commenting on the Beitbridge fiasco:
"Yesterday there was a flame that carried the strong aroma of freedom from the small town of Beitbridge," the South Africa based activist wrote.
"Freedom smells nice (maqabane). From Maleme to Mlamuli to Beitbridge the people are beginning to free themselves."
He continued:
"While the opposition is bickering on unity, while ruling party sycophants are targeting more power for the sake of power the masses are illuminating sparks and flames that have a heavy aroma of freedom.
"The people shall free themselves from both ZANU PF cannibalism and opposition individualism..."
Media Mogul and opinion maker Trevor Ncube yesterday also shared same sentiments regarding the civil unrest in Beitbridge.
"When Zanu PF pushes people against the wall, more of this will happen...," Ncube wrote on micro blogging site Twitter.
Ironically, as the Beitbridge fiasco unfolded most Zimbabweans took to Social Media celebrating the incident saying the move would prompt the Zanu PF administration to address the country's myriad of problems including a dying economy.
Some said the protests must degenerate into a nation-wide strife to force president Mugabe to step down.
However, although the past months have seen some Zimbabweans boldly taking to the streets to protest Mugabe's misrule, the Mugabe regime is known for crushing elements that oppose the State.
It remains to be seen how Mugabe's administration will respond to this growing resentment by citizens which has so far culminated into street actions.
