Nothing can stop Zimbabwe’s development now

It is foolhardy at the moment to think the winds of time can change. To think that the hour glass will go back and things change. It is good that the world has also accepted the results and come to terms with the fact that opposition in Zimbabwe cannot rule.
The latest congratulatory message came from United Nations Secretary General António Guterres who professed his awareness of the strides made by President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa in advancing poverty alleviation in Zimbabwe amongst other things.
The congratulatory message read:
“Excellency,
I wish to congratulate you on your re-election as President of the Republic of Zimbabwe.
I look forward to the continued cooperation between Zimbabwe and the United Nations in the ongoing implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2022-2026 in order to accelerate development and ensure inclusive and sustainable economic growth, gender equality, human rights and climate action in Zimbabwe.
“I take this opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of Zimbabwe to advance the political participation of women and to encourage you to promote gender parity in Cabinet and senior appointments.
Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.”
Dated the 8th of September, which is hot on the heels of President Mnangagwa’s inauguration as well as the swearing in of both ZANU PF and opposition Members of Parliament, it is clear that, the UN too will not be woodwinked by cheap politics.
There have been many attempts by the usual men and women who sing from their supper from the West to once again discredit this year’s Harmonized Elections.
Even after so many years of attempts, they still have not understood that this country came by the barrel of the gun and will not just be handed over back to the men and women who killed and maimed the gallant sons and daughters of Zimbabwe.
What is a country without its roots, its history and its sovereignty? What good is a country if it is governed by another?
We are a people with a culture, an identity and our own way of life. The West must allow us that freedom to make our own decision and grow our economy.
The grudge still stands and it will take us years if not centuries to see the West accepting that Zimbabwe took back its land.
Nyika takatora. Minda tikatora. Hupfumi hwedu tirikutora. And there is nothing the West or its puppets can do about it. The earlier they accept it, the better for them.
