EVERY year non-governmental organisation (NGO) after NGO come to Zimbabwe, to ‘teach’ us human rights, child rights, rights of the girl-child, rights of prostitutes and so on.
Where you come from brothels are legal, the right to use a brothel is protected by state law; what can you teach us about morality, we are light miles away from you.
To us the human body is sacred, it is not to be abused, but in your countries, the state protects abuse of the human body.
Among our people it would be the worst abomination that a husband drops his wife off at a brothel where she works as one of the prostitutes and goes on to drop off their child at school.
In the evening he collects his wife from ‘work’ at the brothel, collects their child and takes both home.
The collective wisdom of our morality as Zimbabweans and Africans can never countenance such.
What can you teach us?
If this is how you live and then you get into your aeroplanes and say let us go and teach these Africans how to live; let us go and teach them values, how to raise their children, we have to protect the rights of children, these Africans have no sense of the rights to women and children; they are abusive of children, they do not know how to raise children, let us go and protect the rights of girl-children, they are ignorant of how girl-children should be raised, their women are abused, then the world is upside down.
Are the rights of your own children protected when the mother works in a brothel and the child is made to accept that it is normal behaviour for the mother to spend the day in a brothel, abusing her body with different men for money and then go home to her husband’s bed for the night?
What kind of sanity can that child maintain or preserve when the father takes his wife to a brothel for the day and takes her home to his bed for the night.
In our culture, among our people, ‘urwere hwokupedzisira’, it is insanity.
Those who are so sick cannot assist the healthy, the only thing one can get from such is contamination.
Pataiva kuhondo makanzwa kuti vana vakadirwa napalm, chii chamakaita?
Makasungisa Smith here?
Did you drag Smith to the International Criminal Court?
When these children came home from the struggle, did you take issue with the British so these children could be compensated; so that their families could be compensated?
Where was your justice then; where is your justice for children now?
Where were you when such crimes were being committed against children and where have you been, how much compensation have you raised from the British and the Americans for the victims of such horror crimes.
You want to pretend to be heroes of our children only as a way of destroying their welfare for good.
That is why you fight the Party and Government which reinstated human rights in our land after they were destroyed by 90 years of British bandit rule.
After the people of Zimbabwe have fought and died to restore respect for human rights in our land, you who never did anything for us during our incarceration under the British armed robbers, now appoint yourselves judge over those who gave up their lives so that there can be justice for all in this land.
Your so-called Justice for Children pretends to be for our children by harassing school heads for legitimately demanding school fees so that they have sufficient means to deliver quality education and at the same time you fuel violence in this country so that everything breaks down; when everything breaks down, who and what will look after these children?
If you are ‘justice for children’, why don’t you buy farms and settle the street children, offer them skills training and let them be productive?
Instead, you train them to be scavengers who benefit from the looting that characterises the violence you incite and sponsor.
What single thing did you do for these children who survived the Chimoio and Nyadzonia massacres?
Which justice are you talking about for our children?
Besides, no-one invited you.
We have not invited ourselves to your countries although we could teach you a lot; what then do you want from our people.
You’re not even the United Nations.
You invite yourselves because you have your own agenda, which is not ours, which is inimical to us.
During our liberation struggle a fundamental principle was: “We are our own liberators,” and we did liberate ourselves despite the tonnage of bombs dropped on us; despite you, we triumphed.
We triumphed against you because we are invincible, because our cause is just and we were a people ready to shed their blood to protect our heritage, Zimbabwe.
Isn’t it strange then, that after we liberated ourselves, those who fought us should now wear sheep’s clothing and purport to tell us how to rule ourselves, even how to raise our children, our girl-children.
It is the strangest argument that we managed to liberate ourselves, but cannot govern ourselves?
More so when this argument comes from those who once enslaved us, what can they know about good governance?
The Lord God who fought with, and for us and led us to triumph in our war of liberation still guides us, works with us and shows us the best way to govern ourselves, not those who once held us captive.
The evil that once shackled us, that once kept us in chains can never be the correct one to tell us how to order our liberated lives.
You were not even among those who assisted us during our struggle and now you are at the forefront of vilifying and condemning us.
The progressive friends who helped us with medicines for the children you bombed, who gave us food and clothing for the same are not the ones attacking us.
It is you who perpetrated such heinous crimes against the children, who persecuted infants who now wear sheep’s skin and pretend concern for our children.
Your mission is the same, to get rid of those who protect Zimbabwe and install mercenaries so you can milk her eternally.
