A Letter marked “URGENT” to those on the FrontLine
Dear
Friends
The sand is quickly leaving the hour-glass for the presidency of Zimbabwe to be
decided. The people’s choice does not seem to matter in this contest. It’s the arsenal in Harare,
the capital city and commercial hub turned garrison town, which may determine the outcome. But
things are not that simple for the 27 June run-off election.
Apart from the killing fields
opened by the Gerontocracy and operated by the militia and like organisations there are other
formidable forces at play. Zimbabwe is now a casino economy. You wake up in the morning unsure about
everything and survive by gambling. You go out hoping that today will be the day you will land a
job, you work in the hope that you will get a wage and the company is a going concern, you go to the
shop hoping you will find food to buy and the list goes on. Granted every life is a gamble but the
degree of uncertainty in Zimbabwe is close to that in a casino. Everything you achieve in a day is
the size of a jackpot. But there is a bigger prize. That prize will come by voting on 27 June 2008.
These are going to be the longest and most painful weeks for many yet all must limp, sneak, hike,
ride to the nearest ballot box and cast the die which may be the one that hits the jackpot. For the
disenfranchised voters around the globe let’s provide moral support and encouragement to the
warriors on the battlefields. Above all let us pray for Devine intervention from the Almighty God
for this is now beyond any humanly help & control.
It’s not a game anymore because the stakes
are too high. Turn the Matebeleland heat to an inferno, the Eastern winds to hurricane force and let
the barren lands of Mashonaland bring forth life again.
It is the last chapter therefore let
the whole country and the earth shout – not this time and never again! Aluta Continua, The
struggle Continues
A Message from The President and Board of the Zimbabwean
Association of New Zealand (ZANZ)
God Bless
Zimbabwe
