Yestersay on 6 March 2009 marked the day of another controversy in Zimbabwean territory! A subject i cannot speak completely free about for obvious reasons! I am a Zimbabwean national who has his country at heart and I hope to see a country of promise restore its position as the bread basket of Africa. i shall write on some things that are disappointing and I feel need to be talked for the better of the masses who reside in Zimbabwe. Today I will write about disappointmens in Zimbabwe rocked by events of 6 March 2009.
I am not proud of African politics because it is not developed to meet the standards of a civilised people. It is no doubt that Africans are a civilised people as we achieved some of the same acolades achieved by Europeans, Americans and the likes. Why is it that in the field of politics we are not progressing. Africa is plagued by constant fighting over resources, power and leadership. North to South, East to West there is this problem. Majorly in countries such as Kenya, Swaziland, Guinea, Ivory Coast, D.R.C and Rwanda, not forgetting Zimbabwe itself. I would like to acknowledge the determination of a man who has gone through a lot of troubles just to put across his beliefs and desires. Although i am not fond of his leadership qualities I am fond of his strong will to improve Zimbabwe. He lost his wife in a car accident that took place yesterday on his way to Buhera. His wife was someone who accompanied him to rallies, events, court rulings and in his campaigns. It is a sad huge loss for Zimbabwe and I hope her strength remains in Morgan Tsvangirai as he recovers and carries on in his duties as Prime Minister.
It is difficult to make a judgement of the accident to determine whether it was an accident or not but i cannot say i believe either of the political sides. Some say it was set up for him to die but look at Zimababwean roads. How many people have we lost this year alone in the 3 months we have encountered. I know of 5 people who died because of car accidents. Wat makes Morgan Tsvangirai untouchable. It could have been a genuine accident. Although the lorry that hit their car is a bit questionable as to why it hit Tsvangirai's car worst. On the other hand it is difficult for a car in the middle of a convoy to avoid an oncoming vehicle. BBC news has been showing videos of the President going to visit the Prime Minister in hospital which is good for rival figures. What I found strange was all the political figures who are against the Prime Minister were also there to pass on their condolences. The same people that spend days and nights torturing each other with lawsuits and violence then going to visit that person in hospital. Isnt it more productive for people to clash with words rather than with resources and violence and then put on a fake smile for us on tv to show remorse. We need to see growth from these people. If you can go on the news and say bad things about someone, how do you get remorse when that person is suffering in hospital after losing what was a rock in their life.
Politicians behave like children fighting over isues that can be discussed in a day. They all lose loved ones because of this fighting which at times does not achieve anything. It causes deep pain. They fight to remove each other from positions, fight to get someone banned from movement yet they can mingle in a room where they wear their smart suits but fail to come to an agreement. Yet millions of people have to wake up and think of what their breakfast will consist of. Not because they are undecided but because there isnt anything to eat so they must look for something to eat. What I cannot believe is that a very small group of people is controlling a nations wealth. How do you live in a world where you do not notice the consequences of your actions. How do you not wake up one day and say these are my people, they deserve better! how do you not say enough is enough there are other people in this country who must live. Up to 7 million people may not have enough food to eat this year. They will need aid from the same organisations that are restricted from operating freely. I am a person that has a heart to help those that need it. I hope in my quest for a good life I can help those that do not have the opportunity to get an education and travel the world.
Some of the events that take place in Zimbabwe inspire me to take a role in politics. Unfortunately it would be contradiciting the works of family members which would put them in very tricky positions. I shall watch from a distance but I will make my voice heard in the struggle for a better Zimbabwe. Those that do take this initiative please can you take responsinility and put your country first and do your job!
R.I.P Susan Tsvangirai!!! your works are truely appreciated
