LEAD party leader Linda Masarira has penned down a special message of appreciation to everyone who stood by her and supported her after being assaulted by her husband Bongani Mlotshwa.

Masarira said she has settled into her chalet, which will be her new home for some days as she reflects on her life.

She said:

Special thanks to @carolmakanaka the sister I never had who was with me all the way. People like you are very rare this day and age. If I was @wicknellchivayo, trust me, girl, I was going to get you a Lexus LX500. Rude rwako rwakandikoshera yaya. I don’t take you for granted. One munhu and wisdom who knocked real life senses into my mind during my time of distress. Haiwa Chihera may Musikavanhu grant you all your wishes and desires. Ngaave manage.

you are rare in your own unique way just continue being you. May the good Lord expand your territory.

my brother, best friend, cde in arms and the voice of reason in my life thank you so much. One munhu wandakasiira zamu Russell Masarira mad respect to you chamhamha. Makandikoshera wena.

alumni, sisters handidi nemi. The solidarity is real, ndiripano nhasi nekuti makandibatsira kutakura mutoro uyu. My sisters in politics across the political divide I appreciate you so much and thank you for the love.

taita words of gratitude are not even enough to thank you for the counselling and love musaitira ini chete. My in-laws the Mlotshwa’s ngiyabonga kakhulu for the emotional support and holding my hand during this challenging time. MaSiziba nyakutumbura nanaMainini haiwa muchaona rutendo rwangu on #mothersday2024. All relatives, cousins and long lost friends who reached out makandikoshera Lastly to all my Cdes, party members, colleagues, friends, etc who stood with me ndinotenda. Rufaro rwandinaro nhasi kuziva kuti ndine hama dzinomira neni through thick and thin. I have just settled into my chalet, which will be my new home for some days as I reflect and close certain chapters of my life for good. My maker blessed me with a very versatile mindset and emotions I can control. Contrary to a certain public opinion of an evil, unempathetic, heartless woman because of differing political opinions and ideologies those who know me personally will testify otherwise because this woman here is a doyen of goodness and humility. I remain unbothered by the trolls who think they have found space to get even with me because of what happened a few days ago. King David before he ascended the throne he faced a lot of challenges but that did not limit him nor weigh him down. Jacob because of the anointing on his life never had anything easy. Joseph was even sold to the Egyptians and tempted but emerged one of the biblical great leaders. Deborah eventually led an army and conquered against all the adversity. Hazvisi zvitsva kuita several challenges in life as a leader. Zodzo attracts persecution and a plethora of challenges. Mweya yetsvina ndatoikunda ndikaitsipika. Every morning when I wake up I thank my maker for my unique central processing unit that has no space for negativity. Whilst some still think they have found a fertile ground to get even with me, you are are wasting your time. I am a person who dwells in positivity and focuses on the future. What happened to me is not peculiar neither am I the first nor the last. GBV should be condemned by all progressive human beings as we thrive to build peaceful nations, communities and homes. Dialogue should always be the first conflict resolution way in our homes. Many people are suffering in silence because of fear of shame or being ridiculed. Millions globally are now patients of hypertension medication because of their spouses infedility and GBV. Making jokes out of GBV cases is the highest level of tomfoolery and mediocrity. Lastly the Macron family of Zimbabwe is not disintegrating. Chembere mukadzi hazvienzani nekuvata mugota. I am an African woman who believes in family. There is no family without challenges and how we deal with those challenges is what matters. Good day my fellow countrymen and women!
