Honoring Bishop Kazembe: a true Revolutionary who held on to ZANU PF in darkest times
13 hrs ago | Views
Great Republic of Zimbabwe - The story of (Cde) Bishop Lawrence Jasi Kazembe popularly know as Vakuru Vekare is one that has often been kept in the shadows, yet it is a story that needs to be told, for it is woven into the very fabric of our Nation's struggle for freedom, unity, and progress. A true Revolutionary, Bishop Kazembe is not merely a Religious Leader but a patriot who stood in the trenches when the darkness seemed to swallow the hope of our beloved Great Republic of Zimbabwe.
This is the man who, at a crucial turning point in our history, championed the first diaspora campaign in support of HE President Dr ED Mnangagwa during the most perilous of times, from 2017 and before. A time when it was not only dangerous to speak the name of President Mnangagwa but when to do so was considered an act of high treason. A time when the world was blind to the truth and when betrayal seemed to have been the order of the day.
Bishop Kazembe's house was burned to the ground, his car reduced to rubble, and his life turned upside down. Yet, he did not falter. He chose to stand firm, even when it meant fleeing for his life and living in exile. It was in those dark hours, when the future of Zimbabwe seemed uncertain, that Bishop Kazembe, along with many other unsung heroes, continued to fight for the *Second Republic*. His commitment, his sacrifices, and his unshakable belief in the cause of liberation have remained steadfast – but now, his story must be heard.
A Revolutionary Among Us
Bishop Kazembe is not just a name but a symbol of resilience. When others turned their backs, he remained a stalwart of the Revolution, reaching out to fellow revolutionaries in exile, ensuring that the flame of hope never died. He helped bring together those who stood by President Mnangagwa during the darkest political hour of this Nation. He was a voice for the voiceless, a beacon of hope when many believed all was lost.
A Call for Support: Let's Give Back to Our Heroes
As we move forward, let us not allow the stories of our heroes to fade into obscurity. Let us rise to the occasion and ensure that Bishop Kazembe's contributions and those of many others with similar cases are recognized, that their sacrifices are honored, and that they receive the support they rightfully deserves.
This is not just a call for recognition; it is a call for action. We must come together, as a Nation, to support those who have given so much for our freedom and prosperity. The time is now for us to repay the debt owed to our true Revolutionaries, to ensure that their legacies are preserved for generations to come.
