By Lynette Eceolaza| Expressing her views on Twitter during the week, Strive Masiyiwa’s wife, Tsitsi said: “Zimbabwe it’s okay and acceptable to get married in November. It’s perfectly acceptable to renew your marriage vows in the month of November. “So remember this and keep it firmly in mind: The Lord is God both in heaven and on earth, and there is no other.”

Why should Tsitsi Masiyiwa want to tell people to disregard our traditions against the sacred month of November?

November is scared and we should respect this…Why does she think she should have a final say or advise on our custom and traditions that we should disregard? Does she think having money should make us listen to her? Is she oblivious of the fact that there is no race or tribe without their traditions? The English , the Scottish, Spanish, to name a few still follow their traditions. Why on earth do you want us to disregard ours?

Let us be identified by our traditions, probably the only things left. Please do not rob us of our beautiful traditions.

Even Christians have their traditions and I am sure God would want us to keep ours.

How do we and our children identify ourselves? How do you say I am Zimbabwean and how can anyone identify you as Zimbabwean? Of course by observing our traditions. We have been robbed of many things , please don’t do this to us. Let us leave a legacy for our children. Proudly Zimbabwean African, I want to be identified as such among my other African, Kenyan, Malawian, black African etc.
