2021 this song does something to me deep down in my heart. Cry my beloved country. A great summary of what led to the chimurenga war. I'm not a Zanu but this is what the born free generation needs to know and appreciate....

[@wtt747]

Born free generation understand very well the struggle that took place for them to be born in freedom however the politicians who emerged as leaders from the liberation struggle are the ones who have lost sight of the very thing they supposedly fought for.

[@ndizvo06]

My sentiments exactly

[@Augfordpdoggie]

to bad your country is now colonized by american culture

[@Bourne-fu8bz]

One thing I noticed, the born frees (Ama2000) born overseas (UK etc) are so keen to find their roots more than those in Zimbabwe. I believe these are the people who will transform and build Zimbabwe because they are not interested in partisan politics.

[@NSHXL7]

What also amazes me is that randomly the picture they used for this song is of my father

[@perseverancengwenyama9433]

ZANU and ZAPU were not political parties. They were national projects. It was a mistake to make them political parties. At independence, we were supposed to transform them into national institutions of some sort, in same way we did ZANLA and ZIPRA. This would have allowed Zimbabwe to have real political parties. Today, our political landscape is messed up because of this mistake.

I'm not a zanu pf supporter but this is a message for us as Zimbabweans. We need to wake up and not sell out what our ancestors fought for. Where is our pride as a nation if we don't honour our ancestors. All these western countries take pride in their own history and here we are thinking we have become more educated abandoning our ancestors. Where is our identity as nation?

When you are approaching old age (40+ years), you can no longer run away from your roots anymore.Mbuya Nehanda is your founding mother. These are songs that will ring in your subconscious and deep sleep, not Amapiano, Hip Hop or Dancehall. Of course, there are Sungura songs which make you reminisce and nostalgic as well. Most of these artists are dead. Mugabe did what he had to do under pressure from the war veterans and land hungry populace. Whoever was going to be the leader of a new Zimbabwe in 1980 would eventually be pressured by the war veterans to grab land, otherwise they would be overthrown and called a coward or sellout like Muzorewa and Canaan Banana. Mugabe should have retired soon after grabbing land, but hey I am not God. Farms should have been shared 50/50 with black people like the South African BEE program to ensure continuity and production. But would the Rhodesians agree to this set up, considering they were very arrogant?
