@bernadetteTDond @iceypriestSZN Idzi dzangwo nharo idzi - Not all men, but MOST men listening to this are nodding their heads in approval... women would find wisdom in listening and processing this first.

Maruza imi… maruza ka 🎶

There you have it @advocatemahere

[Dereck Goto @dereckgoto]

Well done, Cdes.

Next time, also sing Nyika Yedu yeZimbabwe!

The outrage over Delroy Shewe and Saintfloew singing Maruza Imi on a British train says more about us than it does about them. We have an inferiority complex still standing at attention for its former master.

Two young Zimbabwean artists singing it lightly and joyfully on a train, in the very country that once colonised them, is not disrespect. It is pure artistic genius. The symbolism is brilliant.

Maruza Imi is not just a song. It comes straight out of the liberation struggle, sung by guerrillas and villagers to mock a collapsing settler regime and celebrate the victory that ZANU-PF and the liberation forces delivered in 1980. It was never meant to be solemn. It was mockery turned into music - a people laughing in the face of an empire that had told them they would never win.

There is a quiet irony worth reflecting on, too. That train runs on tracks in the same "empire" that once ran trains through colonial Rhodesia and benefited from our suffering under colonial rule.

Meanwhile, you attack and insult your own for their pro-Zimbabwe content while Western creators are celebrated as they film our streets, mimic our accents, dance to our music and turn our everyday lives into content. Nobody bats an eye. Two Zimbabweans sing their own liberation history, and suddenly some of us panic.

If you find the incident offensive, then you are publicly exposing your own insecurity.

The rubber that built European industry came from somewhere.

The cotton that built the textile mills came from somewhere.

The sugar that sweetened European tea came from somewhere.

The gold that backed European currencies came from somewhere.

The phosphate that fertilized European farms came from somewhere.

The timber, the ivory, the copper, the palm oil, the cocoa, the indigo.

All of it came from somewhere.

That somewhere had people in it.

Those people were not compensated.

In many cases, those people were the labor. Not hired labor. Not contracted labor. Not even particularly well-fed labor.

Owned labor. Coerced labor. Labor maintained through violence and the constant credible threat of more violence.

The Industrial Revolution was not a European achievement alone.

It was a global achievement extracted from the bodies and lands of people who did not consent to participate and did not share in the proceeds.

The prosperity that produced the tolerance you're currently celebrating was built in a system whose operational costs were paid by the people who got none of its benefits.

That accounting has never been settled.

It is still open.

The worst five words your child could say to you are not: "I hate you so much" (which ironically actually means "I feel safe enough with you and secure in your love of me to express my current discontent.")

No, the worst five words are: "Stop looking at your phone!"

Jews got expelled from Spain for opening the doors to the Muslim invaders.

Ring a bell?

Then they emigrated to the Ottoman Empire and funded the North African pirates to kindap milions of Christians in coastal European cities to be sold to slavery.

The United States ended this slave trade only in 1805 and stopped the payment of tribute to North African pirates by fighting two conflicts known as the Barbary Wars.

But then the jews invent the Atlantic slave trade which was more vicious and harsh on the Africans that were sold into bondage.

40% of jews in the USA owned slaves, 2% of Whites owned slaves, the cotton industry was jew owned

Honest Abe tries to stop this but they whack him like they did Charkie Kirk.

Fast forward to 1913 the jews steal the money printer and with it enslave the whole world.

You are here.

Before there was the Jewish Holocaust, Germany had commited genocide in Namibia in 1904 and murdered more than half of the population.

"Shona" like "Bantu" is a colonial construct. Fashion and fabric transcends ethnic grouping. I'm Zezuru from Hwedza, my ancestral cloth is polka dot. I wear the same cloth as Lobengula's daughter (Ndebele), the girl from Bindura with the chicken and the girl on the extreme right.

@AKakanfo What TF!? The ignorant comments here smh. Persians are not ARABS stop confusing the two! Persia (Modern day IRAN) was/is a civilisation - and Persians didn't participate in the Slave trade. Arabs did.
