IN Zimbabwe and Africa at large, the so-called leaders are in politics to line-up their pockets. They thrive when they sow seeds of chaos, suffering, fear and confusion.
Self-serving, not accountable to no one, but themselves. We are in trouble!
It does not need a rocket scientist to see where focus of our so-called leaders should be directed to and where Zimbabwe should head.
It does not require a genius to see that wheels of the country’s economy have come off, and at the presidency level, we expect better.
Our opposition parties should also clearly do better despite the persecution and malignment, the spanners thrown into their works and get organised and get resilient, more so make people want to participate in civil issues by making them have reason to go to polls.
I just want the best for my beloved country. Let us have credible, accountable leadership, not this toxic arrogant display of power.
Leadership that has lost conscience to the plight of the vulnerable.
Leadership that seems to have no clue. Leadership that is quick to “silence” dissent. Leadership that feels entitled to lead.

Transport minister Mhona gone to sleep?
THE state of our roads has exposed Transport and Infrastructural Development minister Felix Mhona, as yet another incompetent reactionary minister.
It is a known fact that our roads have outlived their life span yet, the government only releases funds when things have come to a halt.
The problem is that the people, who are given tenders to do the roads are either Zanu PF members or linked to the ruling party, no wonder they usually do shoddy jobs to minimise costs, so that they line their pockets.
I just pray that many innocent lives will not be lost due to our leaders’ poor approach to road maintenances.
Zimbabweans are unnecessarily losing their hard-earned money through unwarranted car repairs after their vehicles plunge into a pothole.
Potholes have become a major concern and declaring them a disaster is not enough, we need action rather than mere promises.- Justice Revai
Put aside elections, let’s fix Zim now
MANY seem to be obsessed about the coming elections in the blind hope it will bring solutions to the problems the country is facing, and seem to have forgotten that the 2018 polls were a false dawn.
As things stand, 2023 may be metaphorically further than Zimbabweans think, as an economic collapse and a crash of all services is looming before them.
With the economy failing to grow, the cash crisis and rising unemployment, Zimbabwe needs pragmatic solutions here and now instead of placing its hope on the 2023 elections.
The question is whether Zimbabwe can afford to continue on this path until the polls or something needs to be done now and urgently.
Instead of dithering, the unity of opposition has never been more critical in the country’s history than now, as they need to find common ground to confront Zanu PF ahead of this inevitable economic collapse.
That Zanu PF has failed is no longer a question for debate, but the ruling party needs a push to forget about their obsession with power and to work for the good of Zimbabweans.
Zanu PF has for long believed its own lies, but one of the worst untruths the party seems to be swallowing is that the economy is on the mend, yet everyone knows nothing can be further from the truth.
Like everyone else, Zanu PF needs to tighten its belts.
The country desperately needs President Emmerson Mnangagwa to be in touch with the reality on the ground and solving these growing problems.
Zimbabwe’s issues will not be solved by empty rhetorical and repetitive speeches, but by a dedicated leader who focuses all his/her energy on stopping corruption.
The late Union of Soviet Socialist Republics leader, Vladimir Lenin, once said: “Sometimes, history needs a push.”
Likewise, Zimbabwe now needs to be ushered in the right direction, rather than this situation whereby mediocrity is applauded.
Mnangagwa and his party need to admit and accept their failures and invite the opposition or even others to help fix this situation, otherwise the country is doomed, as it is already on the precipice.
Now, more than ever, the country needs unity of purpose, whereby everyone pulls in the same direction, because this fragmented approach has only hastened Zimbabwe’s collapse. - Citizen
