I met one American woman who came to tell us how Zimbabweans are facing the hard time.

My brothers and sisters at speak Africa web, I always wish all of us participating here to come with our own views, lessons and opinion on different occasions taking place in Africa rather than copying and pasting of what the veteran journalists are writing. I wish the main aim to see the young Africans’ way of doing things.

Coming on the election saga taking place currently in Zimbabwe, many Zimbabweans and I think youths are ahead, they demand for changes; they want an old man and their grandfather’s father to step aside and give chance to the young guy Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai, aged 56 who by any means is coming with many attractive words and promises for the prosperous nation.

But can Tsvangirai lead Zimbabweans to the promised land? African history, shows on how changes from colonial liberators to the new successors are throwing them in the hands of a black colonialist or in the hands of neo-colonialism through globalization policies or the well-known foreign investment.

Since in the early 80s the 25th of December was a great day, the day to cerebrate our renowned day, it was NWELI day, my tribal pronunciation to mean noel another name for Christmas.
We actually didn’t care much to know what Christmas meant, but what we knew, is just a great day (sikukuu). So we prepared our cerebrations, carelessly of our ethnic groups. Here Christians and none Christians joined their effort together for cerebrations. It took some years for my village dwellers to realize that this day meant for Christianity followers only!

Otherwise we thought that it’s the day of cerebration for each and everyone since we had obtained our local name that it’s Nweli day or the big day (sikukuu)
