Tears for my daughter’s past, and hope for her young future
My teenage daughter got an sms last night which made me cry, for she cannot remember a day in her young life that Zimbabwe has not meant being threatened by tyranny, state brutality, the possibility that her home can be taken away and that the economy is in a permanent state of freefall.
She harbors an overwhelming mistrust for authority and she is confused about our world.
This id the message she got from a friend…
“May tonight be the last night we spend worrying and tomorrow be the dawn of change and a new Zimbabwe. Be safe and much love xxx.”
May the dreams of Zimbabwe’s children come true on the 29 March 2008.
