I grew up being fed the concept of 'civilization' as being the acceptance of Western ideologies and values at the expense of my own culture... then I woke up.
@ElijahMinana@NewsHawksLive There are people in Zimbabwe who are so traumatized and abused they brag about the beatings they got from police and the army. I'm sure you've heard them. The "Iwe, musi iwoyo takarohwa mhani mubhawa imomo. Masoja akange akashatirwa that day! Vakauya nechimwe chiPuma so!" tales.
@NewsHawksLive You don't have to cast your own culture in negativity to curry favour with the western reader. She refused, fine, that is not escape. Westerners perform circumcisions but don't call it "#genitalMutilation". Stop being a mental prisoner.
@NewsHawksLive Which Zambezi Water Project? The same one everyone has known was a solution for decades? That one? The same one ZANUPF has blocked and dithered about for the same period? That one?
Once, at work, in Cape town, I mentioned that whenever I heard anyone speak Afrikaans they just sounded ignorant and incompetent... worse when they spoke English with an Afrikaans accent. I lost friends that day.
@NewsHawksLive If anyone from The ZANU PF Herald was invited to that journalists' event that was a betrayal of what journalists stand for. There are no journalists at #TheHerald
Zimbabwean filmmaking journalist Hopewell Chin'ono, detained for 45 days for exposing corruption, speaks to The NewsHawks on current wave of crackdown on journalists; impunity against them.
This was to mark the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists.
@NewsHawksLive So you, journalists, sat with your abuser to listen to his sermon? This is like the rape victim sitting in an anti-rape forum being told how rape is wrong by the rapist that raped them.
@NewsHawksLive Yes Mangwana, pull the wool over their eyes with some back-patting. People are like dogs, give them a nice scratch 'n rub and their are puppies in your hands. nxa. You cannot call holding #HopewellChinono and other journos as prisoners "a mistake". Hamunyari here?
