Peace Is Not The Product Of Terror Or Fear, Zimbabwe

Political players have a role to play - and Zimbabwe is a nation that should be controlled by its citizens By Terrence Mwedzi Oscar Romero once said: "Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty. As Zimbabwe gears up for the 2023 watershed general elections we must first bear in mind that we are ALL Zimbabweans regardless of our political groupings- and we must also take this crucial moment to foster peace in all political corridors. Peace matters! Peace is vital. In the just-ended mini-elections held in Insiza and Matobo- we have witnessed a strange wave of political violence by the both ruling Zanu Pf and CCC supporters. This is barbaric. Why should we fight each other because of politics? Why is it difficult for us to maintain peace? This outdated behavior has to stop forthwith. We need our nation to achieve a thriving democracy.
