How do we become different from Zanu-PF by emulating behaviors which we castigate and frown upon in the same party? Do we drive out evil using evil? The brokenness of this country is so deep. I remember advocating for national cohesion with @DrNkosana in 2018 soon after-
-elections because it has always been clear that we are broken on a social level and the soul of the nation is rotten, it can only be fixed if government humbles itself to admit where it’s gotten it wrong all these years and people admit that some have become the monster they-
-have been fighting for so long. But as long as we remain in denial, thinking evil is only one sided, we lose an opportunity to fix everything and everyone because everyone becomes a victim only in their own eyes. Many “attacking” me for raising issue on ethics assuming I only-
-started talking about this issue today. I have been blocked by journalists, fellow lawyers, for pointing out that they had stepped the line in terms of their duty of care and ethics. So you can spare me the attacks. I haven’t and won’t ever condone wrong merely because it’s-
-being done by one of us. Crucify me on standing for what’s right even when what’s right is against me, imperfect as I may be but that’s my principle. Wrong is wrong even when I do it. Government must change its attitude, so must we. Zim won’t be saved this way and we will-
-suffer for longer unless our mindsets change. We can’t hate evil whilst practicing and justifying it when we do it. 2023 is coming and we can guess how that will go. The late Morgan Tsvangirai put it right when he said, “...murikuti muri kutambura? Hamusati matanga.”
Ethics do not depend on the environment. They are there and non negotiable. If too much to bear, you step away. Human life is too precious to play around with. The Hippocrates is there for a reason.
