I really wish that I, your good doctor, could say happy Africa Day to my fellow Zimbabweans as we commemorate it today.
But alas, it is not possible to do so given how the country’s citizens are reminded on this day just how poorer they are as compared to other countries on the continent due to the hopelessly inept dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion.
Under the Scarfmore regime, which seized power through guns and tanks, the country has become a laughing stock and a pariah of the continent.
As a result of the poverty and hopelessness wrought by this clueless cabal, which deems itself the second repubric, thousands of the country’s citizens have crossed illegally into neighbouring South Africa, with some braving crocodile-infested rivers to do so, seeking to live a normal life in which they can fend for their families.
That the country’s citizens would rather risk xenophobic attacks or arrest in a foreign land than come back home is a damning indictment of the Scarfmore regime’s bankrupt leadership.
In a development that should shame Scarfmore and co, government officials in South Africa have complained bitterly about how Zimbabweans who are coming to their country are crowding their health institutions to give birth or seek medical treatment as the health sector back home is in shambles with public hospitals having turned into death traps with no basic essentials such as bandages and painkillers.
At a time other African countries have currencies of their own which are relatively stable, Zimbabweans are stuck with a funny money called Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), which can neither purchase fuel nor a passport in their own country and which can lose value at any given time without warning despite it being supposedly backed by tonnes of gold and millions of dollars in forex.
It speaks volumes of the incompetence that permeates through the corridors of power that while citizens in other African countries use the currency of their countries freely, the country’s citizens have to be threatened by the regime to transact in the unreliable ZiG currency.

On this Africa Day, the country’s citizens are left to rue how the country has floundered and lost direction since Gushungo, one of the greatest leaders the African continent has been blessed with, was callously removed from power and replaced by the probity deficient Scarfmore, who is clearly out of his depth.
Munopengaaa!!!
One of the country’s leading industrialists Busisa Moyo has found himself in a bit of a bother after tenderpreneur and ex-convict Wicknell Chivayo gifted him a brand new vehicle.
The vehicles and cash Chivayo has splashed on prominent personalities, like confetti at a wedding, have raised eyebrows and are largely seen as proceeds of dirty money that stems from corrupt dealings.
The gifting of cars and cash by the flashy and arrogant Chivayo has been met with strident criticism of being in bad taste at a time when there is widespread poverty in the country caused by atrocious levels of misgovernance.
This is probably why Eunor Guti, the widow of the founder of ZAOGA Forward in Faith ministries, Archbishop Ezekiel Guti, rejected Chivayo’s largesse of a luxury car and money.
It is telling that Moyo had to consult the Scarfed One and Industry and Commerce minister Mangaliso Ndlovu before accepting this filthy lucre.
By accepting the vehicle, Moyo has forever tainted his reputation as he will be perceived as one who has chosen to sup with the devil.
A crying shame, indeed!!!
Munopengaaa!!!
The country’s education sector continues to plummet to alarming lows since the barrelling into power by Scarfmore and Co, amid fumes of gunpowder, with the revelation that at least 15 000 teachers flee the country annually as a result of the economic crisis spawned by the vapid leadership of the coup cabal.
Revelations that the regime’s Basic Education Assistance Module programme meant to assist underprivileged children to get basic education is being abused left, right and centre shows how corruption has thrived under the leadership of the Scarfed One.
This is despite the setting up of two anti- corruption units, one of which is ensconced right in the office of Scarfmore.
When one adds the fiasco of the current standoff between lecturers at the University of Zimbabwe and the regime as well as the shocking statistic that more than 48 000 schoolgoers dropped out of school last year, one clearly sees how the Scarfed One has totally eviscerated all the good work put in by Gushungo to make the country’s education sector the envy of the African content.
Scarfmore, Stop It!!!
Munopengaaa!!!
I have received a lot of positive feedback from those who saw the video, which went viral, of me dancing away at the live performance of one of our local artists.
Of course, there were the idiots whose negative comments which I have paid no heed to.
As you saw for yourselves, like fine wine I am getting better with age.
Not only can I get a doctorate in record time but I am also nimble footed on the dance floor.
Given the widespread appreciation, maybe I should do it more often. It is definitely food for thought.
Munopengaaaaaaaa
Stop It!
Dr Amai Stop it! PhD (Fake)
