My name is Tawanda Mumanyi, I am Zimbabwean. Before anyone can place or associate me with a tribe, neighbourhood, football team or anything else that makes us choose sides or relate with a preferred choice today.
I simply come as a Zimbabwean and my concern is mainly for the possible millions of Zimbabwean youths and even adults who never have a fair chance to ask questions they need answers for without prejudice or fear. A lot of youths would like to engange in political discussions but our history in Africa as a whole is marred with violence.
when it comes to such issues and that is the reason we end up not seeing the reason in even participating in such issues. We as Zimbabweans are so full of Hatred and animosity towards our fellow countrymen and it is mainly because we want to dictate and force everyone to choose what we want, if someone has a different opinion they then become an enemy.
For a nation that is educated, we are so backward in acting and even though our own constitution states that Every Zimbabwean Citizen has the right to make political choices freely, we always find a way to attack and demonise fellow citizens for choosing freely.
I personally blame those with the power to educate the masses for not taking enough time to educate the youths in a civilised manner about how things work and take away the stigma of violence associated with voting. If we start by respecting each other as Zimbabwean Citizens and respecting each others different political choices like we do with everything else, maybe our youths can take time to be part of the narrative concerning our nation. This time around Let's say No to animosity, aggression and violence towards each other for simply having different views. My name is Tawanda Mumanyi, I am Zimbabwean.
