And back home the government creates more ministerial posts, orders $16m worth of vehicles for everyone and fires 70 doctors for refusing to work for $80 a month.
Slightly overshadowed by the Swazi king who’s just ordered 120 BMW’s and 19 Rolls Royce’s for his family. It does seem a bit excessive when he’s only got 15 wives and 35 kids. Sometimes I think these rulers, and that’s what they are (forget this democratic bullshit) try and outdo each other. ED will order a 120 seater private jet (we no longer have a functional airline) from Dubai to collect him from Harare to fly him a couple of hundred km’s down the road.
What boggles my mind is that all these guys have millions of dirt poor, impoverished, hungry, uneducated and disenfranchised rabid supporters.
I don’t know what the answers are but as a fact democracy does not work in Africa and never will. In the ANC 233 MP’s (50%) have criminal records, and that’s in a country where they control the judiciary. It’s safe to say that 100% of them have committed jailable offenses.
Here in Zim there’s about 7 million people that will be requiring food aid before the next harvest. If we have a poor season I shudder to think what’s going to happen.
That’s more than half the rural population, who incidentally, continually vote for this government regardless of the hardships they endure. They get convinced every single time that the problems have been deliberately created by white enemies of the State. They fall for it every single time, and those that sit on the fence get their minds changed manually
My friends who were ousted off their farm in Chinhoyi last week had to watch their animals endure the most horrific cruelties. What kind of person tortures a pig, a dog or a horse because it belongs to a guy whom they’ve been paid $5 to torment? I guess they’ve decided the animals are guilty by association. These people that perpetrate these acts get nothing from it but the daily rate, which they themselves can’t survive off. I’ve lived here my whole life and am no closer to understanding it.
