QUEEN ELIZABETH’S DEATH AND THE WAR VETERANS CONFERENCE
By Margaret Kamba
It is unbelievable how the death of Queen Elizabeth Windsor has occurred on the eve of the inaugural War Veterans League Conference.
The timing just seems so unbelievable and makes one think that perhaps the home-coming celebrations being held on the 9th and 10th of September for the war veterans have offset rituals done by the late Queen’s people on Zimbabwe.
Sentiments of how late the home-coming celebrations have come have been expressed in many circles with the excitement and zeal of Zimbabwe’s gallant sons and daughters of the soil eager to sing their revolutionary anthem.
Why now, on this September month and particularly the dates ZANU PF set aside for the War Veterans League Conference? Could there be any significance to this whole scenario? Is there need to shed tears for the Queen looking at the role she played?
We celebrate death and life during this time; the Queen’s death and the birth of the War Veterans League. It is a new baby brought into the ruling Party, full of life, hope and a future. We bury a bitter past, full of pain, loss and death.
It is a new beginning for Zimbabwe. It is a fresh start. The gods have indeed heard the cries of the children of Zimbabwe.
