@zimlive I love that we as Zimbabweans have overwhelmingly supported CAB3, lets show the opposition that support through a referendum that will win by a landslide in support of CAB 3

@punterKunta @PoliceZimbabwe I feel the pain, but banning by country of origin misses the real issue. The problem is unsafe and unregulated use of vehicles.
What we need is proper law enforcement, machines don’t kill, weak regulation and reckless use do.

@AdamTheofilatos Do these guys do proper market research before launching such changes? Flavour Ravers had a distinct identity, nostalgia, and shelf recognition. Iyi ingori pfuko iyi, #mychildhooderased

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o was indeed a revolutionary voice against colonial domination. His struggle lives on. R.I.P.

[Mbuyiseni Ndlozi @MbuyiseniNdlozi]

The news of the passing of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o are sad and heartbreaking. He was Africa’s greatest literary pen and a worrier for indigenous African languages. He fought so hard to defend our languages as an integral part of our humanity. Perhaps it is because of this that the west rejected his greatness.

He should have received the Nobel Prize for Literature for The Devil on The Cross already in 1980s. But Europe still conspired to put his ideas on the cross, denying their genius and power.

He wrote on The Devil on the Cross;

“Our lives are a battlefield on which is fought a continuous war between the forces that are pledged to confirm our humanity and those determined to dismantle it; those who strive to build a protective wall around it, and those who wish to pull it down; those who seek to mold it, and those committed to breaking it up; those whose aim is to open our eyes, to make us see the light and look to tomorrow […] and those who wish to lull us into closing our eyes.”

In Decolonising the Mind, he reminded all of us that “Imperialism and its comprador alliances in Africa can never develop the continent.” Asking us to disabuse ourselves of all attempts to mimic the west. Those who want to copy Europe, may as well allow Europeans to run our continent. In his determination, our path to development starts in dispensing with intellectual dependency on imperialist forces and expectation that Europe has our best interest!

His work and life represented a struggle against the post-colonial condition: the oppression Africans suffer from the post-colonial potentates. This post-colonial Africa painted with actions of African elites who drive self interest, with greed, violence and let it be said, laziness, is what Ngugi leaves behind. An Africa that confront all us and faces yet another possibility of dismemberment by the imperialist forces who have become more advanced than the ones who scrambled Africa at the late 1884 Berlin Conference.

Rest in Power Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o
