Muzukuru independence was a collective national effort. I have got family members who fought in that war & made immense sacrifices. You do not have a monopoly over Zimbabwe. I belong to it as much as you do. What's more, by a stroke of genetic coincidence, we share bloodlines & ancestral lands. As I have repeatedly reminded you, you are a dinosaur. You & your generation have destroyed Zimbabwe & stifled it's great potential. Many are running away from the choking poverty & social, political & humanitarian catastrophe. It's "independence" for a select few! What's more, I can prove that ED's ascendancy was immensely supported by the British via Catriona Laing. I have got documentary evidence, including from meetings that I attended there in Zim. ED himself publicly claimed that he would reform & usher in & inclusive & democratic Zimbabwe divorced from egregious human rights violations of the past. He has now held successive sham elections, so he has spectacularly to reform & improve the welfare of our people. The problem is you lack vision & an understanding of your mortal limitations. Weren't Nkomo, Tekere, Sithole, Makamure, Dongo, Dumbutshena, Masuku, Dabengwa, Mohadi & many others persecuted by the regime? No opposition has ever been tolerated. You simply don't know how to build a peaceful, united & democratic country. You steal elections & then fail to run the economy. RTGS, Bond Notes & now ZiG! What's next? Mbudzi Interchange? 4 years? 🤣🤣🤣 – at Leeds, England

Let's not focus on personalities. Let's focus on fundamentals. Personalities come & go. When you obsess on personalities, you lose sight of what's important. Our legacy should go beyond our lifespans. In about 40 or so years from now, very few people will remember who Charamba or Mutebuka were! Who leads our people should be decided by the people themselves in free & fair elections, not us elites. The people are of course free to change their minds based on performance & manifestos. This is the fairest & most democratic way of choosing leaders. The situation has reached another level, to borrow SB Moyo's notorious statement! Our people have simply suffered for too long. This is not sustainable. Something has to give sooner rather than later. The economy simply has to be addressed!

You are bastardising what was a glorious revolution which was achieved by coming together as a collective to dismantle & defeat a racist, ruthless & repressive settler regime. Tongo echoes the same message repeatedly in archival footage. By seeking to monopolise the war effort, you are not only cheapening it, but trying to rewrite history as well. The brutal truth is your generation has betrayed the ideals of the liberation struggle. It's been a "Harvest of Thorns" as Shimmer Chinodya's powerful text notes. You should come to terms with the fact that: 1. The war generation won't last forever &, 2. Opposition political parties are a positive legacy of the liberation struggle - from the one man one vote democratic ideal! Your generation is too obsessed & consumed with oppressing the opposition rather than building & transforming the country! As ED himself conceded in November 2017, we are several decades behind technology wise when we led many African countries bar SA at independence! Look at our Stadiums, we can't even host our own football matches at home, look at our CBD, there are cranes at work there! It has remained unchanged for decades! Look at our hospitals, our trains, our schools & our roads, including the Vic Falls one, our tourism hotspot! Even dictatorships can deliver human & economic progress! We have seen that with the Chinese & the repressive regimes in the Middle East like UAE, Qatar & the Saudis!
