NEW WINE
We have been clamouring for change since 1950s. In 1963 we attained independence and our spirits were lifted believing that at long last we had attained the freedom we all longed for. But alas our liberators soon became our oppressors!
Land grabbing became the order of the day political assassinations took place. The white highlands became black highlands for a selected privileged group. The black man became our oppressor!
With a new regime in 1978 many sighed with relief hoping and believing that the new chief would turn things around and would lessen our yoke. But alas the new chief became our new oppressor!
Land grabbing was doubled. State resources were dished out to a selected few for a song. We again longed for a new liberator.
We petitioned the white man to come to our rescue and within no time our joint and several efforts yielded multiparty and once more we sighed with relief. But wait our relief was yet to come even as our liberators jostled for the high table.
Come 2002 and we all sighed with relief even as new leadership took over the reigns. But alas our liberators became our new oppressors.
Jobs were dished out to friends and relatives the rule of law was replaced with the rule of the lord. Our liberators became our new lords.
The problem is the wine. We have deceived ourselves for far too long only content in changing the wine skin without changing the wine.
It is time for the new wine !
