Like I have always said, there is no denying that some reputations have gone past redemption, and in time, truth will reveal more, of folks who will never again be known by anything other than terrible. However, the premature, indiscriminate and vulgar taste with which we tag all but ours who were even remotely linked to the past regime as all bad and ugly is unfair - just like not all who is now putting up the saintliest tongue and demeanour as collateral for recognition was as immaculate
But if that is what is gonna determine who was really complicit of the atrocities thereof, if we are gonna conclude that any person who, past or lately, was a part of the last regime is guilty by default, or must be fought off from this one, I am afraid that we will end up outsourcing the government for wanting in qualification, seriously - is like saying you’ll not date a friend’s ex, then you realise your serial-dater of a friend had already dated all the potential dates in your hood... and you still want a date?
We need to admit that everything that happened in the past years happened under everyone’s nose, and except for the few heroes we know and will keep celebrating, all who spoke out had to do it beyond our narrow borders, or resort to 'nghunu nghunu.' Almost all of us were caused to relinquish so many of our basic rights in the name of our safety, but for the security of a shitstem, and we ended up having neither. I hope that is history already.
