We�re ready to crush imperialism
EDITOR � We say goodbye to 2002 buoyed by that stunning victory over the
forces of imperialism and in the knowledge that Zimbabweans will greet their next
challenges with courage and determination � and not complacency and
insouciance.
Zimbabwean revolutionaries know there is no chance any more that the
imperialists will underestimate us after what we have achieved.
Zanu-PF has raised the tempo as the opposition�s days of self-deception turn to a
distant memory.
Zanu-PF is determined to give fresh evidence of its own distinction.
President Mugabe�s Cabinet ministers are prepared to offer far more than industry.
Now, in that spirit, we in Davira Mhere have the greatest pleasure to dedicate
these lyrics, of Africa�s revolutionary tune, to the veterans of Zimbabwe�s Third
Chimurenga, declare that:
Nobody should say the Africans are dead because the Africans are alive,
Our banner shall never be lowered,
Our homeland is our land and culture and continent,
We are the heroes of the revolution and the colour red � just look how
bloodstained our history is!
The African people are gallantly standing to attention,
The continent�s youth is ever-present,
Ready to sacrifice their lives � to inflict deadly blows on Western imperialism,
And to decorate our living crown with the enemy�s blood!
Chinondidyachii Mararike.
