A social commentator, Tendai Ruben Mbofana, is of the opinion that Zimbabweans are the easiest people to oppress. In an opinion article published by The Zimbabwean commemorating the 39th anniversary of the death of Josiah Tongogara, Mbofana said that he doubts Zimbabwe will ever produce someone as courageous as the late Commander.
He opined that people continue to wallow in poverty yet they are afraid of raising their voices for fear of retribution. Tongogara’s generation stood up to the illegal Smith regime and fought for the liberation of Zimbabwe.
The present generation is made up of spineless cowards who are afraid of standing firmly and fearlessly in demanding their life back, using the August 1 killings as to justify the inability to challenge the oppressor. He said Zimbabweans expect politicians to be nice towards them.
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed – Martin Luther King Jr.
Easy to say from UK that’s for… Try writing that opinion piece from here
You are the most stupid person l have ever heard, you are the most docile Zimbabwean to ever live. How can you write such trash when you yourself even ran away from hunger and hiding in Europe. You can’t even feel for the six innocent people who were killed just recently for revolting against injustice. They were killed by the same people you are glorifying as courageous. Think again my friend, there something from your neck going up. Idiot.
This Mbofana guy does not even realise he said what he said from the comfort of his hiding place.He is a lazy,insensitive and timid person waiting for someone to show courage on his behalf only to have him come back later and enjoy from the sweat and blood of others.He must be well educated in this matter.
