The Second Republic has been acting in accordance with its ideals under the leadership of President Mnangagwa.
The National Development Strategy1 (NDS1) flagship projects, many of which have already been completed or are almost finished, such as the expansion of the Harare-Beitbridge Road and the refurbishment of the Robert Mugabe International Airport, are clear examples of how far the country has come.
Many Zimbabweans had given up on their nation, yet the hitherto subdued giant in Southern Africa has risen.
Zimbabwe “nevene vayo ichivakwa.”
Today, Vision 2030 is a reality.
Zimbabwe’s economic effort will improve the country’s reputation and draw in foreign investment. We now have a national reputation for being developers. Africans who now have confidence in their own skills.
Illegal sanctions were placed on Zimbabwe in 2002 with the intention of crippling the economy and impeding the progress of our nation.
Sanctions were imposed on the country because we, the people of Zimbabwe, reclaimed the land that is rightfully ours and for which our comrades’ and ancestors sacrificed their lives.
Let us unite as Zimbabweans to protect our national interests. Let us stand up for our history. We ought to take the reins and lead. To our country, we must be patriotic.
Zimbabwe is an independent and sovereign nation. Zimbabwe is our God given home. We Zimbabweans are really proud of ourselves.
Due to lobbying by some citizens of this country for personal gain, illegal sanctions were imposed on us.
Many industries, but especially the health sector, were severely impacted when these illegitimate sanctions collapsed the economy.
We should lead from the front. We must be patriotic to our nation.
When these illegal sanctions cripple the economy, many sectors also suffer. Fortunately, our Government prioritises the needs of the people.
With the introduction of the Criminal Law amendment, the law has been changed.
It states that “wilfully damaging the sovereignty and national interest of Zimbabwe” is made a crime by the amendment itself.
The Bill is meant to protect Zimbabweans from those who are out to further their own personal and selfish interests and to hold accountable anyone who disobeys Zimbabwe’s national edict.
As Zimbabweans, we must advance the interests of our nation. It is who we are.
President Mnangagwa needs our support because he is always pursuing engagement and re-engagement, which is beneficial for the country’s trade and growth.
This effort has already begun to pay off, as was clear when the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, visited Zimbabwe to deepen bilateral commercial ties.
President Mnangagwa wants Zimbabwe to be a great country for both the present and the future generations.
Some take joy in travelling the world to tarnish their country’s reputation by spreading false information about it, demonising it and causing trade boycotts and disseminating a false narrative about our beloved Zimbabwe that is based on self-serving interests.
Advice cannot be given by those who apply unlawful sanctions. Mbuya Nehanda and Sekuru Kaguvi did not sacrifice their lives for this.
We cannot conspire with those who wish to destroy our country.
The legislation defends Zimbabwe from such individuals. It presents a chance for us to co-operate to uphold the rule of law in our nation.
The Second Republic has so far made tremendous progress that keeps the lives of common Zimbabweans better, while leaving no one and no place behind.
Most of the promises made under the Second Republic have already been fulfilled and projects have come to completion while others are still in progress.
The possibility of a better Zimbabwe is now apparent, but some people still decide to obstruct development by wrecking our nation’s economy, taking pleasure in Zimbabweans’ suffering.
We need to alter our story so that we no longer see things negatively.
Why are the handlers of local opposition parties in the West working together to form non-governmental organisations in Zimbabwe?
Why are media outlets being established whose primary objective is to damage public perception of our country?
Why are they now making political parties into proxies for their own egotistical and anti-democratic goals? Why is our country under constant attack?
National interests should serve as the foundation for political parties. Reclaiming the land under our sovereign claim was never wrong.
The interests of our nation should always come first, and we should refrain from criticising actions that hate and disparage them.
Why do we tolerate Zimbabweans being used against their own country?
We have standards, beliefs, and ideals as Zimbabweans, we should protect our history and culture.
Western manipulators should not lead us to assault our currency; instead, we should stand and defend our sense of national pride.
We ought to honour the Criminal Law amendment. Why can’t Zimbabwe have laws like that as we are a sovereign nation while other nations do?
Why is it that the Logan Act, the US Patriotic Act, and the Anti-Communist Act, which forbids unregistered Americans from engaging in negotiations with foreign governments, considered as not draconian laws in the United States?
Why is it that individuals who promote western objectives and hold misguided beliefs perceive the law as harsh and restrictive when it comes to Zimbabwe?
The guilty are, in fact, constantly afraid.
Let us not forget the reasons we sing the national anthem with pride.
Rise, Zimbabweans. My bones shall rise, in Mbuya Nehanda’s words, “Mapfupa angu achamuka.” Do not let us support the nation’s critics, the country’s detractors.
Why should Zimbabweans deal with foreign nations that are and always will be opposed to the country and seek to destroy it?
We should never be so greedy for power that we abandon our own country by putting innocent Zimbabweans through hardship.
Surely, it is necessary to make those with self-serving motivations pay for exposing Zimbabwe to risks, including our national security.
There is no need to aid in the subversion of our country by hostile nations or to enable our adversaries to seize power.
Illegal sanctions are currently being used on Zimbabwe, preventing any kind of growth or prospect of receiving any foreign aid.
We ought to support our nation and refrain from disparaging our cherished nation.
Being patriotic does not require us to support a particular political party, it merely means we genuinely love our country, Zimbabwe.
Patriotism has no political affiliations and is unaffiliated with any party. All Zimbabweans must be patriotic because it protects the country’s interests from outside aggression. We must unite as a group and decolonise our thinking.
The long-term interests of our country should always be our first priority.
Let us be a nation of principles. For Vision 2030 to be a success, the Criminal Law amendment is a necessity.
