“Comrades, Zimbabwe is our home and the sacred lands of our forefathers. I appeal to all families and communities to exercise the true African values of compassion, love and caring for one another, more so as we welcome those returning from the diaspora.” — President ED Mnangagwa
I am pleased to announce that the Prevail Group of Companies will be hiring skilled individuals returning home from South Africa to join our team. If you possess the relevant skills and are interested, we kindly invite you to apply.
On behalf of the people, ZANU PF, and my family, I extend sincere condolences to the Dzihwema family on the passing of Major General (Rtd) Everisto Dzihwema ('Cde Kid Ma-wrong-wrong'). We will perpetually safeguard the fruits of the liberation struggle he fought for. 🇿🇼
Under the Second Republic, we are leaving no one & no place behind. To citizens returning from the Diaspora: welcome home! Government has set comprehensive plans for your safe re-integration. Let us continue to build, modernise, and develop our beloved Zimbabwe together. 🤝
@edmnangagwa The idea that Zimbabwe is moving in the right direction is an illusion. The poor are poorer and the rich are getting richer. The streets are still dusty and ugly with potholes and almost every citizen is a street vendor
Imagine this; a black South African enthusiastically speaking to a white woman while referring to fellow black Africans as “kwerekweres”, a deeply derogatory slur. It is a tragic illustration of how prejudice can become so deeply internalised that people end up demeaning those who look like them and share their history.
Even more disturbing is that this individual is helping to lead xenophobic mobilisation in Durban, encouraging hostility towards fellow Africans. Instead of promoting the rule of law or calling for proper immigration enforcement, he chooses to dehumanise people through insults and division.
The saddest part is that thousands of people look up to and follow figures like this. History has shown that when leaders normalise dehumanising language, it becomes much easier to justify discrimination and violence.
The toxic voice in the room is often the one that has forgotten its own humanity. A people taught to despise one another will never be free. When you dehumanise fellow Africans for applause, you have already lost far more than your dignity. History will not only remember who shouted “kwerekwere”, it will remember who stood against hatred.
