WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- We present below his full tweeter thread on Independence day. > The rural calendar did not have much to look forward to but two items stood out. One was Christmas Day and the other was Independence Day. I was only 5 at the first independence but I have a few glorious memories of those early celebrations. Happy 40th, my nation #ZimAt40 > In our area, all villagers gathered pachikomo paHwara, a central location where independence celebrations were held. It was quite some festival, full of singing, dancing, eating and drinking. A speech from Harare would be read by the local politician. > Villagers would spend months preparing for the day. They would contribute money to buy beasts, other food & drinks. Everyone had their share. It was a great occasion to meet and mix. There were occasional conflicts, even fisticuffs as chaps clashed over romantic interests. > Some used the occasion to settle scores. But elders were on hand to diffuse tensions. Others, of course, over-indulged there being so much drink. Villagers also brewed finger-millet beer (rezviyo a.k.a 7 days) which was quite potent, at least going by the behaviour of imbibers > One occasion, a few drunkards fought over leftovers. One chap took off with what he believed to be a chunk of meat. Standing at a distance from the melee, he decided to suck the soup first. He was horrified to discover it was an old woollen hat. It had fallen into the drum! > One of the chaps had lost a hat in the melee. It had fallen into the drum & when the other chap picked it he thought he had struck gold. Only to discover that it was a sweaty old hat! He cursed himself & threw it away in anger. Short-lived joy. Everyone who saw this laughed. > Those were the days. It doesn’t happen anymore in the village. It stopped years ago. Things have changed. The hopes and energy of earlier times have since dissipated. A small kleptocratic cabal has seized the nation. But we must dare to hope & dream again. More: Alex Magaisa _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
