I got a very disturbing call from my contact at Arnold farm saying the mothers and their babies in Mazoe are now sleeping in rain soaked blankets in open space.
This is really disturbing considering that yesterday we were celebrating independence day which is synonymous with Zimbabweans reclaiming their land which was forcibly stolen by colonists.
In the National Sports Stadium, the once revolutionaries who liberated us were lambasting the imperialists for stealing our land. But will we ever hear these pan African leaders condemning Grace Mugabe for stealing land and forcing fellow black Zimbabweans from their homes?
Double standards and glorification of strong egoistic personalities over institutions have proven to be our greatest undoing unto ourselves.
Zimbabwe deserves better and we are the ones we have been waiting for to transform our independence into freedom for the people.
We all need a Zimbabwe that is responsive to the needs of all its citizens despite economic class, political view, religious beliefs, race and tribe.
