Zimbabwe : A colorful nation

 Zimbabwe is popularly known for its politics. However, some have seen Zimbabwe as a country that makes dreams come true. ‘A Country of Honey and Milk’, some prefer to call it. Many have thrived in different parts of Zimbabwe.

The Chinese are extracting ores from our country and are gurus in the plastic products industry, the Indians and Pakistanis have mastered the fabric business, the Zambians and Malawians are taking over the food retail and clothes sector. Some Zimbabweans are prospering in their endeavors, getting white-collar jobs, entrepreneurship, working for foreigners and among other opportunities out there. However, most of them have abandoned the country, they prefer getting greener pastures somewhere else, be it in, South Africa, Poland, Canada and among other countries.

However, Zimbabwe is a country one would describe as a, ’Rainbow Nation’, a country that is infiltrated with different races. Zimbabwe citizens have been having events that are blending different cultures in Zimbabwe. For example, the famous Burnouts car events. Burnouts have been engaging many people of different races and backgrounds. This shows that as Zimbabweans, we are slowly embracing our cultures blending them into one colorful nation. Let's not forget the Jacaranda Music Festival and the Muslim Food events.

If we cannot embrace ourselves, who can embrace it. After all, as our country's motto says, "Nyika Inovakwa neVene Vayo."If these races continue to join hands and put differences aside, Zimbabwe will become one of the greatest nations.
