The scene was surreal, many lay dead that day, later Kenneth Kaunda soothed the nation, stating this was a necessary sacrifice to free our brothers and sisters from colonialism. Zimbabwe is has now been independent for more than 27 years. How this beautiful country with so much resource and potential can now rank lower than war torn Congo DR or Angola is disheartening and an insult the memory of some many that died for it's independence.As a Zambian who lived through era when our former president Kaunda broke off relations with the IMF and world bank- foreign exchange,food, and fuel shortages resulted. The nation stood against the Kaunda regime-yes he too used vigilantes ( green bombers), the police and intelligence services to intimidate the civil society. In the end however we won by perseverance and committement. I urge you to bring to bear pressure on Mugabe.Students should have access to information, is there any independent radio stations in Harare? Governments are formed to serve peoples basic needs for security, civic services ( health /education/land administration etc) therefore when a goverment's policies threaten or deny people access to these needs it is the people's duty to remove such a government. I call upon right thinking Zimbabweeans to honor the memory of those that dead for this your great country- PLEASE REMOVE THE SHAME THAT TURNS SO MANY IN THEIR GRAVES....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('71802','David Kabamfwile'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('71802','David Kabamfwile','I remember vividly the day the Ian Smith airforce of Southern Rhodesia bombed Chikumbi camp a few kilometres from Lusaka.
