are all too obvious in Zimbabwe as we are every day
witnessing numerous cases where people are losing
the ability to think, learn and understand their emo-
tions and the reactions of others. Murder, rape and
gender based violence cases are on the increase. A
person is killed just because he took a sip of someone
else’s beer. A spouse is battered because she did not
cook food for her husband. A child is beaten to death
by a parent because she came home late. A young
man hangs himself because a girl she loves rejected
her. More is happening when people take drugs or
get intoxicated. These are indications that mental
health in our country is on the decline.
As a country we therefore need to take mental health
very seriously at national, community, family and in-
stitutional levels. A state of positive mental health will
allow us as citizens to realize our full potential, work
productively, cope with the stresses of life and make
meaningful contributions to our communities.

It was electrifying. The unmis-
takable reggae thump of the
legendary Jamaican musician
filled the air as chants of “Viva
Zimbabwe” boomed out over
the crowd in-between songs.
“It was a moment I fully sa-

gwa, one of the fighters during
the liberation struggle, known
as Second Chimurenga (1966-
1979), told Al Jazeera.
“Tears of pain-filled delight
rolled down my cheeks,” he
recalled of the momentous oc-
casion. “Unfortunately, many of
my beloved comrades were not

spectacle they paid the ultimate

That night in April 1980, Zim-

functions.”
Mandishona said when he met Marley,
the international superstar told him: “I can
smell Zimbabwe becoming independent
soon.”
Mandishona continued: “He began
sounding the Zimbabwe tune he had been
experimenting on. It was typically a reggae
total format. Being a Shona poet, I moder-
ated the tune to have some Shona rhythm
bits.”
Marley died of cancer in 1981 at the age
of 36 but his music still lives on worldwide,
including throughout Africa – in Zimba-
bwe, several local reggae groups have
over the years played concerts in Marley’s
honour.
“Through his music, he was fighting capi-
talism and oppression of the Black [people]
by colonialists,” said Victor Matemadanda,
secretary-general of the Zimbabwe Na-
tional Liberation War Veterans’ Association
and also the country’s deputy defence
minister. “Himself being a product of slave
trade, he connected much with his songs,”
added Matemadanda, stressing Marley’s
struggle for a united and free Africa.
Mutsvangwa echoed the same view,
highlighting the role of Marley’s music in
Zimbabwe’s liberation movement.
“The timely arrival of Marley’s reggae mu-
sic and its globalist Pan-African message
changed political attitudes as the young
freedom fighters marched to war,” said
Mutsvangwa, a former diplomat. Marley’s
music, along with that of Zimbabwean
superstar Thomas Mapfumo, had become
the battle cry of freedom fighters, added
Mutsvangwa.
Professor Nhamo Anthony Mhiripiri, a
chairperson in the Media and Society Stud-
ies department at Midlands State Univer-
sity, described Marley’s music as”politically
committed”.
“He was an organic thinker who partici-
pated in the struggles … against colo-
nialism. Zimbabwe was a highly media-
tised hotspot where many atrocities were
committed and publicised. Marley played
his part through highlighting the suffering
of Zimbabweans and their aspirations for
self-liberation.”
Forty years on, the independence anniver-
sary on Saturday will be a low-key affair
that will find Zimbabweans, the major-
ity of whom struggle with a deepening
economic crisis, under lockdown as the
country tries to curb the spread of the
coronavirus pandemic.
As of April 17, Zimbabwe had 24 con-
firmed cases, including three deaths.

The Lowveld outfit Triangle Football Club (FC)
was edged one nil by Herentals FC at the
weekend as Jairos Tapera’s charges struggled
during a Castle Larger Premier Soccer League
played at National Sports Stadium on Satur-

team which is blowing hot and cold is set
to play an in-form Caps United in their next
encounter.
The Lowveld based outfit is now on the
fourth position on the log standing after
amassing 20 points. Although the Sugar
sugar boys are now regarded as giant slayers
after beating Dynamos FC and drawing nil all
with Highlanders at Gibbo Stadium; the Caps
United encounter on Sunday remains an up-

up the loose pieces and put up a fight against
Makepekepe to remain title contenders as the
soccer season is nearing its peak.
“The game was fair, we played very well al-
though we failed to get a score, it’s only that
the rivals used their tactics which made them
the winners of the day. We are now preparing
for our next encounter with Caps United. This
is going to be a tough match, we need to
prepare much for the match,” said Tapera.
The students (Herentals) were very happy with
the game and quickly wrote congratulatory
message on their Twitter handle. “Well done
