What is there to celebrate when Itai Dzamara is still missing 7 years later, and the perpetrators of his abduction have not yet been brought to justice?
What is there to celebrate when the soldiers who killed people in the streets of Harare on 1st August 2018 are still walking scot-free?
What is there to celebrate when the Zanu-PF thugs who killed Mboneni Ncube are not in prison?
What independence when we have no freedom in our own country? What independence when we have no justice in our own country? What independence when we have no democracy in our own country?
No Yet Uhuru 💔 🇿🇼
They can have all the festivities they want but this land we call Zimbabwe is not yet free. Yes, we won independence from British colonial rule but we are still to be free from ZANU PF oppression.
The words of Father Zimbabwe Joshua Mqabuko Nyongolo Nkomo ring loudest on a day like this, he said "The hardest lesson of my life has come to me late. It is that a nation can win freedom without its people becoming free."
The fight for a genuinely independent Zimbabwe continues unabated.
