Let’s padlock lips at Christmas
Stephen MpofuPerspectiveAS our Government proceeds steadfastly with implementation of national, social and economic programmes alongside the empowerment of women and against the background of the West’s illegal sanctions’ noose hanging over its head to try to remove the revolutionary Zanu-PF party from power, the general unmitigated citizenry must without fail play the pivotal role of protecting our national security at all costs so that this nation moves unimpeded into brave new futures. Yes, Zimbabweans, particularly those of us in Bulawayo, the first landing major city especially for Zimbabwean diasporans from countries to the south of us have been warned by Local Government and Public Works Minister, Cde July Moyo, obviously representing the views of other Government colleagues and other ruling party members, to exercise extreme care when interacting with friends and relatives from abroad back home to be with relatives and friends at Christmas when celebrating the birthday of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. That is all very well because, who knows, some of the returnees and some foreigners headed for Zimbabwe during this period in point might be carriers of dangerous diseases with new variants of the killer Covid-19 included and any further lockdown in the event of new infections could be a serious blow to an economy weakened by the West’s iniquitous sanctions. But of equally paramount importance, all of us, Zimbabweans, must padlock, as it were, our lips, gateways to store houses of national security matters. If imperialists returned to our motherland by the back door, neo-colonialism and all its ingredients will return to this beloved motherland along with all its nefarious repercussions in a world where independence, freedom, and equality for blacks are now also THE norm.
