Dear President
Wisdom and common sense tell me that anyone voted into the position of President should be a President for all Zimbabweans irrespective of race, colour, creed or political affiliation. Have you been that? Are you willing to be that now?
Many years ago I used to see you sometimes on my way to work, driving out on the Borrowdale Road early in the morning, on your own! One day in Avondale Shopping Centre I found you coming out of Shamrock Pharmacy with one or maybe two very unobtrusive body guards. I passed very close to you through the same entrance and felt at that time that you were approachable – ‘our President.’
What happened? You have moved so far from us and you have surrounded yourself with a small coterie of some very questionable people. I feel as if Zimbabwe has not had a President for a very long time. Certainly not someone who is a ‘peoples’ President.
Perpetual threat
I do not feel welcome in my own country of birth. All that I am and have exists under a perpetual feeling of threat and insecurity – from those who call themselves Zimbabwe’s liberators. I have only ever tried to give to my country and its people. For the last 12 years or so all you have done is tried to strip me of everything: freedom to vote without fear, freedom to meet, freedom to choose and speak without threat, freedom to call myself a citizen of the nation God placed me in, the freedom to build up a law-abiding business that adds to the nation in taxes and fees and gives fellow Zimbabweans work and dignity and a caring employer.
I have watched you tear down thousands of homes and buildings, rendering countless Zimbabweans homeless and jobless. I have watched you destroy our food base and our ability to feed ourselves. I watched as hundreds of thousands of farm workers had their whole lives destroyed in sometimes less than an hour.
Spiteful imprisonment
I have watched as our shops emptied and our country fell into ruins. I have seen the horrible marks of torture and beatings and heard of the torment of wrongful and spiteful imprisonments and arrests – over and over again.
I have witnessed the men in blue (ZRP) shamelessly and savagely beating up their own people and soliciting bribes. I have witnessed stolen and rigged elections and heard hate speech pour from many leaders’ mouths – including your own. And to my shame I was one of those who lived a sheltered life in Mashonaland in the eighties, hardly aware as rivers of blood flowed through Matebeleland – the province I was born in.
Do I see even one of the leaders of this party that have stolen, killed and lied exposed and brought to justice? No! Instead they continue to occupy lofty positions. Do I hear speeches and read articles on nation building and forgiveness and truth and reconciliation? No. All I hear are threats and retribution and bitterness and hate. All I hear is the past. – NM, Harare

If you are in business, you want to make sales, period. Not just to one crowd of browser users. I’ve come across websites that could be viewed in Mozilla Firefox, but you could not place an item in the shopping cart and purchase it. More lost sales. I have also seen sites that display correctly in Mozilla Firefox and not in yandex Bowser, and vice versa. There are some little quirks and code issues that require some tweaking to display correctly in both browsers. I don’t try to test every site in every site browser that comes along.
