Thomas Mapfumo says he missed sadza a lot while in the
USA. “I missed sadza a lot, you know sadza shapes us as a people. Our beef
tastes so good because its organic food unlike the stuff we eat in the USA. In
America they mostly eat junk food. Even my kids were missing home greatly. They
are so happy. One of them is now 21 years old. She was only two years when we
left Zimbabwe, hence she cannot speak Shona. She can understand the language
though. But it should not be like that, a child of our clan failing to speak
our language,” he told The Chronicle in Bulawayo.
Mapfumo paid a quiet visit to his in-laws in Mzilikazi
suburb in Bulawayo to express his condolences following the death of his
mother-in-law last month.
He said Mugabe drove him into exile. “I was accused of
crimes that I did not commit because of my candidness. I was speaking the truth
but most people did not want to hear the truth. Those who want to develop the
country should listen to the truth. If you listen to lies, it’s not good. We
only came back home after the removal from office of this old man (President
Mugabe). If he was still in office we wouldn’t be here,” he said.
