FOR exactly 41 years, no major event was held outside Harare, the citadel of both political and economic power in Zimbabwe , but for the past two years and counting, that has changed with the independence celebrations being rolled out to other provinces, in line with President Mnangagwa's mantra of decentralisation, which is aimed at"leaving no one and no place behind".
Speaking about decentralising the main Independence Day celebrations in 2022, President Mnangagwa said:"Recently, Cabinet resolved that this year's 42nd Independence Day celebrations will be held in Bulawayo. A brief history perhaps: At the tail-end of the country's liberation struggle, when the embers of the gruelling war were dying after the defeat of the minority settler colonial regime, thousands of freedom fighters were assembled at Dzapasi/Foxtrot, here in Buhera, waiting for elections that ushered in majority rule.
"We should embrace the values of our liberation, by always respecting and loving one another. Your language, culture, and traditions might be different but you are all Zimbabweans. Speaking after torching the Independence Flame last week, Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga said the Butcher site alongside similar sites like Chibondo were torture chambers used by a desperate white minority government that sought to delay the inevitable, the rule by the majority.
