When you wear those tennis shoes or that suit or drive that car
that says “Made in Zimbabwe” on the label. Stand proud. U have arrived!
Zimbabwe’s economy is battling, bleeding, reeling and going down on its knees. Why? Because we allow things ourselves to go that way. We all have committed a crime of some sort to ourselves and also for the generation to come. We all know what has to be done to correct the past and to create a better future, but today we still stand in denial of our own transgressions and to make matters worse we believe pointing fingers is going to solve the problem. We point out fingers on the white people, we point out fingers on the Asians, we point out fingers on the Latinos, we point out fingers on the Muslims, we point out fingers on the Arabs, we point out fingers on our politicians, we point out fingers on our neighbours, we point out fingers on our brothers and sisters, and we make ourselves cry-babies. The truth be told, we should and must be pointing out fingers on ourselves and take some time to think what we have to do as a country to achieve the best we want for ourselves. Unless you are proudly buying Zimbabwean made products, you are killing yourself, your neighbour and the generation to come. We therefore need to find lasting solutions to the problem especially by stemming up the root. It’s on us as Zimbabweans that we do and support those who do things in a way that can only restore our pride as a nation.
If you ever believed that anyone besides yourself is there to help you achieve your dreams then you are still dreaming. We are living in a jungle where everyone else is wrestling to better their lives. Think, how many inferior products are trickling from China every second, war-torn clothes coming through Mozambique every day and how many used cars from japan every month and obsolete industrial machinery from the west each year. We pay for all these products in our own senses and to make matters worse we call it inferior whatever bears the sticker Made in Zimbabwe. Where is our pride as a country, If that is not going to be restored then we will die vain because no pride no identity. Have we been incapacitated to that extent let alone liking the status quo as evidenced by our own inaction? The economy might be tough and we might be suffering and that’s what change does, it hurts and we are hurting. But the price is worth it. Let’s keep on our feet and fight until the last drop.
To help restore the economy, plight, dignity and an identity for Zimbabwe we will touch on the most important areas that needs to be addressed in a series of articles and projects to come. However, we encourage you also give us your views in this platform.
