One of these coming days in the not-so-distant feature, our children will literally roll on the floor in laughter when we chronicle the events that took place in this once glorious nation.

When we tell them that it is possible to slash three zeros on a currency three times so that it fits into the financials systems and becomes readable.
When we tell them we once had a Finance minister who could not pronounce the total value of the National Budget, for all we know it could have been Zambaralillion.
When we tell them at one moment the President announced that the nation had lost $15 billion and no one was arrested, no inquiry was done and no comments from police were made. Life went on as if everything was normal.
When we tell them that when our annual National Budget was $5 billion, the nation lost $15 billion to a few individuals who were endowed with a special gift of embezzlement, people with no face, individuals who could literally buy the whole town, of course, as ministers and high-ranking officials in government.
Now is the time to speak, fellow citizens. Do we entrust this current government with our future? I say no, we need new names.
Welcome to Zimbabwe, where an individual is jailed nine years for possessing a pangolin, 10 years for stealing a cow, but walks scot-free after stealing $200 million.

The Bible tells us to honour and pray for our leaders. Two key questions arise from this: Do these people governing us meet the definition of leaders? A great man once said leaders worry about the next generation, but politicians worry about the next election. Well, this is not a leadership summit, but one key characteristic of good leaders is that they know when to leave and they know how to groom future
The second question is: Do these so-called leaders have honour? Their conduct is disgusting and they do not exhibit honour.
Their minds are corrupt and they are selfish. Go to Old Mutual and get me 3%, such are their ways of thinking.
Enough of leadership lessons, I say no, we need new names.
They practice “blamocracy”, blaming any person who challenges their ideas as being funded by the West and treasonous. They blame sanctions even on their own failures. The word “sanctions” has now become a cliché or rather a scapegoat. You see, when the only tool that you have is a hammer, you try to solve every problem with a nail, they no longer have anything else to blame.
No, we need new names.
They have shielded themselves with impervious walls built upon nepotism and corporate incest, they are the untouchables.
Whenever a person challenges their policies, they resort to character assassination. They do not take any advice from anyone outside of their system. In fact, whenever a citizen speaks, they separate wheat from chaff and they take the chaff instead of the wheat.
I say no, we need new names.
In fact, the word “corruption” is being abused. These are thieves, imbava, makororo, matsotsi, magumaguma. Let’s not abuse the word please. Corruption is a cosmetic word for theft and embezzlement. Corruption does not make $15 billion to disappear.
If you understand accounting, their bookkeeping is simple.
