It has been a fruitful year comrades

Published on

SO finally America and Cuba are mending ties almost 50 years later.
I remember l ended last year with the saying zviuya zviri mberi.
A decade ago 2015 seemed so far-fetched, almost mythical.
Yet, here we almost are.
2014 closes on a strong note.
Indeed this was the year that was.
Few countries have survived the storms that we have weathered as a nation since the highly successful Land Reform Programme.
Hence we can say it has been a fruitful year.
The year has been very interesting in many ways.
We continue to grapple with a myriad of challenges, chiefly on the economic front, but we say and insist that it has been fruitful.
For in 2014 we have made significant steps towards revamping the economy.
Obviously we are talking about the Chinese and the Russian mega deals.
Our alliances with such countries have motivated our erstwhile colonisers and their cronies to reengage us.
In November the West decided to lift the illegal economic sanctions that have been in existence for the past 14 years.
Hopefully this time around we will engage as equals.
Having been stagnated by lack of political will and oneness in the past, investor skepticism is quickly fading.
The just ended ZANU PF 6th National People’s Congress held at Robert Mugabe Square in Harare set the record straight as to who is in charge and therefore accountable.
The message was loud and clear.
No more hiding in the shadows of the party and no more sacred cows.
The most important message we delivered this year loud and clearly that we hope everyone in the world has heard is that we determine our destiny.
The Russian platinum deal in Darwendale alone is set to open up about 8 000 jobs.
We do what is right for our country for present and future generations that is what we do and continue to do.
With strength and political will, we celebrate this year’s unity with verve and reinvigorated sense of purpose and direction.
The December month has been a month of cleansing, and to cite writers in the past, we have washed away the dross and what remains is the pure gold as we close the season.
We continue to raise the banner of unity higher.
With the Government now well oiled to oneness, what remains is national will.
We each have our roles to play.
As the year closes we take a moment to pause and reflect on the comrades, family and friends we have lost along the way.
Christmas often has a tendency to overshadow the unity celebration and what our comrades mean to us as a nation.
Therefore as we feast and take on the wise waters, unity should be upper most on our conscience.
We should remember we are diverse, but one.
As a united front, we can continue working towards our development.
And as we celebrate the festive season, drive safely, imbibe with moderation and let us not forget there is January around the corner.
Every arrival marks the beginning of a new journey.
A toast to 2015!
