Open Letter - Who is a tribalist?
05 Aug 2016 at 08:30hrs | Views
Dear editor.
I agree with those who say there was a lot of social injustice in Rhodesia. They are correct. After independence there were a lot of positive changes on gender equal rights and on equal job equal remuneration.
My problem is that when that was done worse problems were created.
Money spent on training Gukurahundi and killing people should have been channeled to something on developing the economy.
Skilled people were killed to get rid of the Ndebele tribe .
I always ask myself what sanctions people are talking about when the Mafia system used by Zanu PF is sanctions to the people of this country.
As I write this article people demonstrate peacefully and are beaten badly for exercising their Democratic right because police are operating on partisan basis.
I believe when they are trained they are told that Zanu PF people are more equal than others as they commit crimes and go scot free.
The problems in this country are manufactured by power hungry and greedy people who ate bankrupt when it comes to economic polices. When you tell them to stop what they are doing to them is treason.
If people of Midlands and Matabeleland want their freedom as they wanted freedom from British rule. They say its tribalism and treason.
They deployed Shona lecturers in Matabeleland to lecture in Shona and tell students that they don't care others do not hear Shona.
Who is then a tribalist one who speaks Shona lecturing a class of mixed people and tell them this country belong to Shonas so he choose the language he wants to use.
This country has been militarised that any legal desaturation by people is crushed to instil fear.
I hear Zanu say there is peace in the country.
There is a difference between peace and tranquility. Tranquility is a result of fear. One can mistaken a tranquil pool of water with an alligator with peaceful environment.
Zimbabwe is tranquil not peaceful.
I appeal to Zanu to change their method of addressing problems. To solve and not to create them.
Yours
