By Mari Matutu| I just took my memory back to my first year in School. Grade one at Mudzami Primary School in Bikita.

My teacher was also a cousin of mine. I was very interested in one of his rules in class, “no speaking Shona in Class.” This was a punishable offence.

I just thought to myself what this by “law” actually meant. All of us there were born speaking Shona and non had even met a White man. However the teacher- Teacher Nyasha, wanted everyone in that grade one to speak only English or else you are in trouble.

I cannot remember how we managed to speak in English then and it is still not making sense to me.

This is exactly what we are all doing to a regime that got into power with a coup. We say No to corruption and expect corrupt free country from them.

If it happens that with Teacher Nyasha’s method all Grade one class at Mudzami school woke up speaking English because of the rule then it will also happen that the regime will be corrupt free and competent.
I rest my case
