‘Correct education vital for our children’

Published on

WITHOUT the correct education for our children, Zimbabwe cannot develop.
The missionaries and their lackeys know what they are fighting against, what they have always fought against from the days of Robert Moffat; that there should not be a land in which people know who they are, possess and own their resources, and they used religion as their entry point.
This tirade by the missionaries each time we reverse what they and the British armed robbers instituted cannot go on and on as if we are a people with mental problems such that we cannot fully control and master our destiny.
The tyranny of the missionaries was defeated during the liberation struggle; it is time they sought forgiveness for their treachery instead of continually adding insult to injury.
We do not have mental problems, that is why even children refused to live under subjugation, to live as slaves in their own land; they left the comfort of home to fight for their country, not to hide from danger.
We do not need to be locked in the mental prison which says we are part of the flora and fauna as in Toynbee’s conception of the native:
“When we Europeans call people natives, we take…from them, anything that suggests that they are human beings.
They are to us like the forest which the Western man fells down.
Or the big game that he shoots down.”
Hatisi mhuka tiri vanhu and as people, we have a right to what we have, to what Musikavanhu gave us, the missionaries have no jurisdiction over our humanity, they cannot change that we are human and not flaura and fauna.
They cannot transform us into animals for the reason that they want to claim what is ours to be theirs.
Therefore, mental slavery as dictated by the British is not on the cards, missionaries should work for God and not fight to change what He designated for each people.
To do so, to insist so as they have done since they entered our land is anti-God.
And therefore, we will never change for anyone, we will keep teaching our children what is good for them, what is good for the children of Zimbabwe.
Our children must know that they are Zimbabwean and to be Zimbabwean is to be born of a great people, to descend from a great history of fearless defenders of their heritage.
To be Zimbabwean is to know that the greatest moment in their history is when their great-great parents refused to bow down to the British and against all odds defeated them.
It is this great spirit that must be cultivated and kept alive in our children to keep Zimbabwe safe for us, for them and for the future so that generations to come do not find an empty carcass from which the armed robbers of the West have gleaned everything.
This must be defended with the same fearlessness with which the freedom fighters fought battle after battle against the British war machinery.
Something changed permanently when Zimbabwe’s children laid down their lives for their land, thus they need to be left alone to craft their destiny.
When we had to sing: ‘God save our gracious Queen’ every day at school assembly in the days of Rhodesia, where were the missionaries?
The churches will not accept that the school curriculum is the jurisdiction of the State, but the State has never interfered in the curriculum of the Church.
We are not children or subjects of the churches, the Government of Zimbabwe is sovereign and the opinion of the churches on this matter is irrelevant.
The President endorses the new curriculum so what is the crime of the Minister?
His beard?
Islam?
What has that got to do with his portfolio?
In this country people are valued for who they are, their intrinsic values.
We have missionaries in this country who are notorious for their role in the armed robbery of this land by the British.
No one terrorises them despite still holding and profiting from land that was looted from our people at gunpoint.
It is not material what religion Minister Lazarus Dokora professes, it is xenophobic to keep flogging the issue.
The real reason the Minister is being flogged is he dared to change what the missionaries and their fellow armed robbers from Britain instituted.
What the missionaries are saying is: ‘Ko unoda kuchinja chii isu takati tikati, uri ani iwe unochinja zvatakareva?’
They do not want him to change what they instituted, a curriculum of idol worship, one in which it is an honour to be robbed and enslaved by the whiteman, that is the Minister’s crime.
The genesis of these xenophobic attacks on the Minister is the National Schools Pledge, which by the way is not meant to represent any particular church, Catholic or otherwise, thus it does not need the approval of any church.
Chisungo chavana veZimbabwe chokuti takapuwa nyika yedu naMusiki tikairwira, tikakunda saka tinotenda Musiki navana vake vose vakatisunungura.
It is ours, it does not need ratification from anyone.
Zvaireva vakuru zvaitika
Nyika yedu yatorwa navaeni, we sang during the liberation struggle.
Izvozvi ndizvo zvinorambwa neNational Schools Pledge, and the missionaries have a problem with this. Ndivo vacho vaeni vakatora nyika yedu nepfuti.
We offer no apologies for defeating them, we will do it again if we have to, we will not change for anyone, those who were defeated should hold their peace.
When we had to learn about the Pioneer Column, the missionaries said nothing because they were part of the band of marauding robbers euphemistically called the ‘Pioneer Column’.
Father Haartman accompanied them all the way, saying mass for them.
We did not seek nor did we need the permission of the missionaries to liberate our country, we do not need their permission now to shape our Zimbabwe as we will.
That you participated in the armed robbery of our land in the name of God is blasphemy, that you sanctified a curriculum that ratified this armed robbery of our land is morally indefensible, particularly from men and women of the cloth.
You have never been on the side of God and you still are not.
Kumurwisa Minister, kumutuka, kumupopotera kuti sei wabvisa zvatatsira pasi, kuvhukunurwa kwazvo, kuputswa kwazvo kwakavhundutsa mamissionary, kwakavatsamwisa ndokusaka vasisazorori kumutuka nokumupopotera.
Zvakadaro tinoramba kuva nhapwa in the name of religion or whatever else.
We will not be drawn into the sea of hate wars that have wiped millions of lives across the globe in the name of religion.
Ndidzo mviro mviro dzacho idzodzi.
The people of Zimbabwe have a right to self-determination, that right is inalienable, no Church can change that.
We are at peace here in Zimbabwe we want to get along with the business of building a great Zimbabwe.
This right to self-determination is not something one applies for from the Church.
It comes from Musikavanhu not from those who misrepresent Him.
Zimbabwe’s destiny is not in the hands of the churches; it is in the hands of Zimbabweans.
