How many of The Star newspaper readers spotted the fact that the letter (“Independent Zimbabwe is a great success”, The Star January 24) from Kudzai Chikowore, praising Zimbabwe since independence for “being weaned from the hooks, chains and yokes of colonialism” is emailed from London, the home of the colonials?
No doubt he enjoys the unemployment benefits provided by the British government, and the excellent, free, National Health Service, not found in Zimbabwe.
Go home, Mr Chikowore, go home and use the knowledge gained by living in the UK, the fifth most successful economy in the world, and help your own people to survive 40 years of rape by their own leaders. Your people in Zimbabwe are not reaping the rewards of independence; most live in poverty or have left the broken country. Several million live with us in South Africa.
If you love your country, go home and show them you care.
