Farai Dziva|MDC A leader Nelson Chamisa has castigated Zanu PF for distorting the history of the liberation struggle.

Chamisa told a national daily newspaper in an interview the ruling party should not mislead the nation by deliberately distorting the meaning of the liberation struggle.

” They [ZANU PF] want to distort history and rewrite it in their own terms, in their own persuasion, but clearly the struggle of the liberation of our country was not a sole effort.

It was not a partisan effort, it was not a political effort, and it was a people’s effort. The liberation struggle was and still remains a people’s project.

Nobody should appropriate themselves the liberation of this country, this country belongs to its owners and authors being the people under the auspices of the almighty God and nobody is supposed to appropriate the sole proprietorship of our country.

We fought as a people, yes, we used different vehicles, Zanu was one of them, Zapu was another and any other vehicle, that vehicle can’t become the destination. The destination was a liberated Zimbabwe,” said Chamisa.
