Outsiders have too often told Africans’ stories—and got them wrong

The people that genuinely LOVE the Warriors and passionate about Zimbabwe football really understand and appreciate what the SRC did for football ...and would love to see Zimbabwe participating at the AFCON next month.For Zimbabwe to participate in the tournament while restructuring is taking place in Ernest, is what they want .

Then there are some people who are pretending to LOVE the Warriors and shedding crocodile tears .Deep down they want FIFA to ban Zimbabwe and stop Zimbabwe from participating at AFCON ,in solidarity with the suspended ZIFA board .They want us to get banned so that it can put pressure on the SRC to reinstate the board.For them it is not about the players or the tournament, but about the suspended ZIFA board and for them to have an opportunity to throw mud at the SRC.They are pretending to be worried about us being banned and making so much noise of worry ,but deep down ,in darkness ,they are going to FIFA and saying "ban us ".In darkness they are campaigning to FIFA and saying "ban us please " .Some want us to be banned so that they feel vindicated for their stance against SRC.Tenge tichivaona hedu

I sincerely hope that we don't get banned ,while we continue with the restructuring of Zimbabwe in ernest .The SRC may not be the perfect father ,but every father wishes to see their child doing well zvine hunhu,even if he himself is a robber. He won't want his child to follow suit .Izvo zvekuti SRC yacho is also not clean ,is not a reason why they should not push for reforms at ZIFA.The SRC doesn't want the Warriors to be banned. HENCE they are funding the trip to Cameroon and making sure the team is comfortable.Kwakanzi we may take the risk to be banned as long as we restructure our football without the current board members and put everything in place ,including an election road map ,which the current board had already constitutionally violated and they had not started Area Zone zone elections ,with not even the area zone structures to talk about.The other members of the assembly are not functional, including futsal,beach soccer, women soccer etc.These get grants from FIFA for their development, but they are non existent ."Where does the money go?" Is the question .They just want to come and vote at the elections from nowhere .There is also an issue of some councillors serving for over 20 years in non functional zones,only appearing on elections season, when the constitution also only allows for 2 terms .All that need to be sorted out before elections, of which the current board was not prapred to do.That is also why all that should be sorted and put in place while the board is parked out somewhere. Kwakanzi the constitution amendment process should also be restarted ,in a transparent way.The development junior structures, which the current board was not willing to restart,will also be put in place with the lobbying of junior football to be brought back into the ZIFA assembly

When all that is sorted ,the Kamambo board will be reinstated to finish their term in a clean restructured ZIFA ,before the elections take place with new reforms .All that won't take more than a year .They will be reinstated .The only tournament at risk is Afcon,of which we hope we won't be banned from it.Bill Antonio doesn't even need to go to Mozambique.He is too talented for Mozambique .Our national junior teams have not been participating for the last few years .We banned ourselves when the current board decided we won't participate in junior tournaments .We should have cried then when we gave ourselves a ban on the juniors. That also will be sorted.

Like I said,that won't take more than a year as the restructuring committee mandate ends on 31 December 2022.When all is done ,the Kamamo Board will be reinstated ,and we get readmitted into FIFA,if we happen to get banned (hopefully not) .They will be allowed to finish their last few months in ernest ,if they would not to have resigned by then.

If we do get banned....Yes there would be negative effects of the ban.But that is what the SRC said we should bite the bullet ,endure ,for the greater good of football going forward .Yes the few negative effects are unfortunate as they will affect some,players and coaches etc .But it is a short term sacrifice worth taking ,for our football to move forward and restart the progress.It will give the new board a cleaner platform and reformed platform to kick-start their term.

Saka it would not be good to alarm each other when the action is actually for the greater good of football in the long run ...rather than cringe and holding on for the little positives NOW with no hope for the prolonged FUTURE .The 2023 Afcon qualifiers are just around the corner ,and if we don't get sorted out now ,we would be back to square 1 again next year and stagnant

There are other ways of preventing a ban .One of which is for those advocating for the ban to withdraw,take a back seat and let reforms take place.For those that are suspended to accept their suspension, stop writing to FIFA to push them to ban us ,and let the Warriors participate at the AFCON without the threat of the ban .That is if we so much love our players and the Warriors,like we portray .The Warriors and Zimbabwe are bigger than individuals.

The Warriors flew out of the country yesterday morning. We wish them all the best at the tournament .Hopefully every Zimbabwean is behind the Warriors and we would all want to see them see them there,performing to their best .

Go Warriors Go!!

The city was founded in 1890 by the Pioneer Column, a small military force of the British South Africa Company, and named Fort Salisbury after the UK Prime Minister Lord Salisbury. Company administrators demarcated the city and ran it until Southern Rhodesia achieved responsible government in 1923. Salisbury was thereafter the seat of the Southern Rhodesian (later Rhodesian) government and, between 1953 and 1963, the capital of the Central African Federation. It retained the name Salisbury until 1982, when it was renamed Harare on the second anniversary of Zimbabwean independence from the United Kingdom.

Long the commercial capital of Zimbabwe, Harare has seen economic ups and downs since the 2000s. It remains an important centre of commerce, government, finance, real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, design, education, art, culture, tourism, agriculture, mining and regional affairs.[8] Harare has the second-highest number of embassies in Southern Africa and serves as the location of the African headquarters of the World Health Organization, which it shares with Brazzaville.[9]

Harare has hosted multiple international conferences and events, including the 1995 All-Africa Games and the 2003 Cricket World Cup. In 2018, Harare was ranked as a Gamma world city. The city's marquee festival is the Harare International Festival of the Arts, modelled on the Edinburgh Festival and one of the largest arts festivals in the southern hemisphere.[10] It is also home to Dynamos F.C., the club with the most titles in Zimbabwean football.

Many languages are spoken, or historically have been spoken, in Zimbabwe. Since the adoption of its 2013 Constitution, Zimbabwe has 16 official languages, namely Chewa, Chibarwe, English, Kalanga, Koisan, Nambya, Ndau, Ndebele, Shangani, Shona, sign language, Sotho, Tonga, Tswana, Venda, and Xhosa. The country's main languages are Shona, spoken by over 70% of the population, and Ndebele, spoken by roughly 20%. English is the country's lingua franca, used in government and business and as the main medium of instruction in schools. English is the first language of most white Zimbabweans, and is the second language of a majority of black Zimbabweans. Historically, a minority of white Zimbabweans spoke Afrikaans, Greek, Italian, Polish, and Portuguese, among other languages, while Gujarati and Hindi could be found amongst the country's Indian population. Deaf Zimbabweans commonly use one of several varieties of Zimbabwean Sign Language, with some using American Sign Language. Zimbabwean language data is based on estimates, as Zimbabwe has never conducted a census that enumerated people by language.

[Continuation From Last Post] Development Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). It was once known as the "Jewel of Africa" for its great prosperity.[13][14][15]

Robert Mugabe became Prime Minister of Zimbabwe in 1980, when his ZANU–PF party won the elections following the end of white minority rule; he was the President of Zimbabwe from 1987 until his resignation in 2017. Under Mugabe's authoritarian regime, the state security apparatus dominated the country and was responsible for widespread human rights violations.[16] The country has been in economic decline since the 1990s, experiencing several crashes and hyperinflation along the way.

On 15 November 2017, in the wake of over a year of protests against his government as well as Zimbabwe's rapidly declining economy, Mugabe was placed under house arrest by the country's national army in a coup d'état and eventually resigned six days later. Emmerson Mnangagwa has since served as Zimbabwe's president.

Since the 11th century, the region that is now Zimbabwe has been the site of several organised states and kingdoms such as the Rozvi, Mutapa and Mthwakazi kingdoms, as well as being a major route for migration and trade. The British South Africa Company of Cecil Rhodes first demarcated the present territory during 1890 when they conquered Mashonaland and later in 1893 Matabeleland after a fierce resistance by Matabele people known as the First Matabele War. Company rule ended in 1923 with the establishment of Southern Rhodesia as a self-governing British colony. In 1965, the conservative white minority government unilaterally declared independence as Rhodesia.

The state endured international isolation and a 15-year guerrilla war with black nationalist forces; this culminated in a peace agreement that established universal enfranchisement and de jure sovereignty as Zimbabwe in April 1980. Zimbabwe then joined the Commonwealth of Nations, from which it was suspended in 2002 for breaches of international law by its then-government under Robert Mugabe, and from which it withdrew in December 2003. The sovereign state is a member of the United Nations, [ Continued in Next Post]
