HON. MUDEREDZWA: The importance of history is that it is for shaping our future and for safeguarding our national resources and ensuring that we move together as a nation. I agree with the Hon. Member Mandipaka, the mover of this motion that he is suggesting that in schools, we should educate our children on the history of Zimbabwe. It is important that our children carry on this history to the next generation just like the indoctrination we were getting from the Smith regime that we were learning about the colonisation of Africa. We were learning on how they came to Africa to try and oppress and develop Africa but we are saying that our children should know how we decolonised Africa. Out of that, we will move as a region and as a continent towards the liberation of black people in the world.
Madam Speaker Ma’am, I know that to continue debating, some Hon. Members are disturbed because this is a very important history. We are benefitting ourselves at our Caucus because I have realised that even members who did not participate in the liberation struggle are now in a position to understand how we came to be what we are today –[HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.]-
THE TEMPORARY SPEAKER: Order Hon. Members, give him the chance to debate.
HON. MUDEREDZWA: I strongly support this motion and I strongly support the prayers of this motion. I thank you.
