WHEN the regime change agenda in Zimbabwe was conceived in the late 1990s, it was difficult for many to understand why it was so easy for Western powers that were and are still pushing for it to happen to find so many takers in the form of the MDC-T and its acolytes in civil society.
There was this decoy, neatly tucked inside our curriculum that has been the West’s vital cog in dismantling governments they don’t like and leaderships they deem ‘undesirable’ to their thrust of dominating the world.
Our education system, arguably the only thing that has won widespread appraisal from the West is essentially the pest of our wellbeing.
For why would the West condemn President Robert Mugabe’s socio-economic policies and praise the education system?
Why would the West accuse President Mugabe of pursuing what they call ‘unsound’ macroeconomic policies and pay lip service to the tragedies confronting the education sector?
Why would the West mock President Mugabe for embarking on so-called ‘failed’ policies when they give thumbs up to our education system?
The answer is simple.
The West has a firm foothold in our education system.
This is why they have harnessed so many ‘skills’ for the MDC and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) who are driving the regime change agenda in Zimbabwe with so much ease.
Fresh revelations contained elsewhere in this publication that the hand of the infamous George Soros has been at play through the education system since the 80s are not only a cause for concern, but a wake-up call for the Government of Zimbabwe.
It is a scary thought to imagine the damage caused by Soros to the country’s education system.
George Soros is not your typical businessman.
He is America’s and the West’s master planner and initiator of regime change activities across the world.
His intentions are very clear; effecting regime change on behalf of and for his beloved America.
Zimbabwe is and has always been one of his targets.
And we whet his appetite through the abundant natural resources at our disposal.
This is why to George Soros’ Open Society Institute (OSI) spending US$400 million annually against governments pursuing Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Programme like Robert Mugabe’s is an investment worth the while.
George Soros is a fierce advocate of ‘open markets and free enterprises’ whatever that means.
He is an arch critic of indigenisation drives in developing countries.
He is a staunch supporter of our education system in its current form because it feeds directly into his objective of propagating the anti-Mugabe initiative.
With characters like Soros hovering all over our country we have to be very very worried.
We are under siege and the West will stop at nothing until their objective of removing President Robert Mugabe from power is realised.
But where do we go from here?
We have to shape the mind of black people from the Western-infused education they have been subjected to over the past three decades.
We have to give even more thorough scrutiny to George Soros’ educational initiatives in particular his ‘Peace Studies’ programme at our universities.
We have to do a severe introspection of the current curriculum with huge emphasis on how it can tell our own story.
We have to develop and shape our mindsets towards a more progressive education system.
We are still in a war and the battle now is to be restricted to our education system because education is one of the remaining tools for regime change.
