Zanu PF Information Director, Farai Marapira, has slammed critics who argue that Ian Smith’s regime was better than President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government.

Marapira described such assertions as “stupidity” and warned those who dare to suggest that the new dispensation is causing more harm than good to citizens.

In a recent statement Marapira said :

“It’s sheer stupidity to say Ian Smith was better than President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Common day food items like bread were Christmas delicacies, remember that,” Marapira said, highlighting the struggles faced by Zimbabweans during Smith’s rule.

Marapira’s comments come amid a heated debate on social media, where some Zimbabweans have been comparing the two regimes.

While some argue that Smith’s government was more efficient and less corrupt, others, like Marapira, vehemently disagree.

An opposition MP has also weighed in on the debate, emphasizing that Zimbabwe’s liberation war was fought for the empowerment of all citizens, not just the replacement of one elite with another.

“Liberation means one man, one vote – not stolen elections.

Liberation means freedom from state-sponsored violence – not replacing a violent Rhodesian Special Branch with your own violent police force,” she said.
