We are witnessing history.
An African giant has fallen. Abdullah Ibrahim has passed on at 91. His song Mannenburg is synonymous with Zimbabwe Radio 2 programmes that played it as background music in the 90s.
I was in primary school then. Zimbabwe's economy had already taken a nosedive and in ICU. I usually came home after school to my father sitting under the bamboo shed, listening to the radio. He usually did this when he was off or on night shift at Dunlop. He would comment bitterly that under Zanu Pf we were doomed as a nation.
We all had hope that one day the brutal Mugabe regime would fall, that the ailing economy would get better.
Two decades later we are still doomed, Mugabe is gone but we have another leader already taking after Mugabe, altering, mutilating and tampering with the constitution so as to illegally remain in power. Zanu pf must go in its entirety.
Back to Abdullah Ibrahim, rest in peace. Fly high for you have played your part in this cruel world.
Your song brings back bittersweet memories. Nostalgia just kicked in. I miss my father dearly.
So long gentlemen. 🫡🫡
