Dear Editor, It is tearful that this year Zimbabwe turns 41 amid growing fear among citizens, repression, human rights abuses, and closure of democratic space. Independence Day (April 18) is a day to celebrate, yet for many Zimbabweans it was just like any other ordinary day as it symbolises a betrayal by the liberation generation who, from liberators, have morphed into oppressors. It is tragic therefore that in independent Zimbabwe the rulers have continued using the colonial legal system an instrument upon which officials based their conception of a new social order to suppress citizens. Independence was a product of a protracted liberation struggle mounted to ensure that there s an equal and just society in which fundamental human rights are respected; equal access to economic resources, land, and economic emancipation; and an end to minority rule. To date, several activists, including journalists, have suffered the State s heavy-handedness.
