#NewYear2025 Happy New Year. In the run up to it, some Zimbabweans in opposition politics who narcissistically proclaim themselves to be the "new leaders" have been weaponising Rhodesia, in what they desperately believe to be a powerful attack on the status quo, which they hope to escalate in the New Year. But it's a doomed proposition that, in fact, risks to be the political graveyard of its proponents. This is because everyone knows that Rhodesia was a racist and inhumane system against blacks by imperialist design. Weaponising such a colonial system in the hoping to harvest political mileage in post-independence politics can boomerang badly. The fact that the self-styled "new leaders' in the opposition have come up with a twisted and weird 'Rhodesian paradise lost' narrative that "Smith/Rhodesia was better", actually exposes their intellectual laziness and ideological bankruptcy. The "Smith/Rhodesia was better" narrative can only be used by surviving "Happy Slaves" in Rhodesia or by today's fifth columnists in the opposition, who are running dogs of merchants of regime change; such as the Oppenheimer family who have become particularly busy in southern Africa, through their now notorious Brenthurst Foundation. The specific target of merchants of regime change in the region are former liberation movements that have been governing parties since the independence of their countries. In this connection, the comical noisy refrain that "Smith/Rhodesia was better" is not a surprising narrative of merchants of regime change in Southern Africa. The equivalent in South Africa is that "apartheid was better." In the circumstances, former liberation movements, which are governing parties in the region, need to pull up their socks and stay vigilant in solidarity with one another in the New Year and beyond. Meanwhile, the self-proclaimed "new leaders" in the opposition who are barking the "Smith/Rhodesia was better" narrative are their own worst enemies. They are stuck in the past with no new ideas. They are beside themselves, at the end of their wits, and not fit for purpose. The "Smith/Rhodesia was better" comical noise has short legs. It will not have politically significant takers in the country, the region, or anywhere. It is dead politics. All told, the important issue of the day about the colonial past is the growing demand for colonial countries to pay reparations for their plunder, underdevelopment, and impoverishment of the African continent. On this, the majority of Africans everywhere, at home and in the Diaspora, will speak with one voice. Otherwise, today is, of course, by definition, better than yesterday; only tomorrow can be better than today. It is never the other way round. The past can only be in your head, while the future is always in your hands. Happy and Blessed 2025 Everyone, and a special welcome and Happy Birthday to the newborns since the New Year, the first Gen Beta babies, whose generation starts today!

@GeraldNgonyamo It’s a powerful recommendation, indeed it speaks to humility, which is a struggle for many but a powerful skill in our everyday life.

Enjoying my latest read that I highly recommend. I will classify this read as a "prescription on humility." Key lessons to keep you grounded.
