As long as Zimbabweans remain a consumer society without producing and processing goods, no amount of politics can solve the economic conundrum.
As long as our communities remain captured by donors through food aid and our villagers remain lazy, seated on land they got from government through the land reform program, talking about economic revival is just a pipe dream.
As long long our our youths spend 90% of their time denegrating their country on social media and looking for someone to come from Europe to open a company for them to get employed, we will get poorer and weaker as a country until there is no more country left.
As long as criminal activities that are toxic to the economy like selling money, where money which is meant to be a medium of exchange has become the commodity, employing thousands of young people who are meant to be productive but are destructive, Zimbabwe will remain in the doldrums.
As long as some members of our society are financially benefiting from commercial activism where they become instant millionaires from generating adverse, sensational reports and stories, get paid by Americans who consume such kind of information, Zimbabwe will not go anywhere, the poor will continue to suffer.
As long as the some activists continue to hoodwink gullible donors and generate fake reports when in fact they are doing nothing to impact communities with the money they get, Zimbabwe will keep migrating from crisis to crisis in what Pedzisai Ruhanya called ” the Bermuda Triangle”
As long as we continue electing and being ruled by bunches of insincere kleptomaniacs at local government and central government level we are doomed.
As long as we continue to have a purposeless, ideologyless, confused and confusing opposition that is working hard to become like or even outdo the rulling party in corruption, violence, tribalism, nepotism and general moral depravity, we have no hope for the future.
As long as we have extremely greedy business people who have no sense of empathy or sympathy for the poor, who trebble the prices of basic commodities to make 300% profit for themselves, we are a deprived and doomed society.
As long as we as a society participate in the many forms and versions of corruption such as changing money on the streets, bribing police officers we are ruined.
As long as those rulling us are the very same people running industry and commerce, we are foolish and naive to believe that the same can make policies that favor the poor and stiffle their own wanton and unfettered greed.
As long as we do not rise above petty partisan politics, mobocracy and idolatory and hold our leaders to account at all levels, we will continue in the shackles of poverty.
For as long as we have an egocentric and dosile society that is failing to challenge the evils in our society, we are finished and all hope is lost.
For as long as the West dictates who must lead our countries and who must not, pay activists to rise up to make their countries ungovernable, to the benefit of the racist United States who are pushing the Henry Kissinger Foreign Policy of imperialism and looting, Zimbabwe will soon be history.
As long as we have a legion of Zimbabweans in the Diaspora, living on fake assylum papers, sending money home to pay activists to cause chaos in order to justify their Asylum status in those countries, we will remain in self destruction mode.
As long as we allow Chinese to come into our country and loot our natural resources for free and our young people are happy to work for them for a song, we are doomed.
As long as we do not see the vast and unlimited opportunities our country has for us, from minerals to soils to climate but we keep behaving like puppies and kittens, fighting over nothing, being paid by others to fight among ourselves while they loot, we will be finished.
Our children will be slaves to the Chinese and the Americans right in our own country. Chinese will flood and take over our rich nation, the Americans will impose on us a puppet regime that will reverse all what our founding fathers sacrificed and some died for. Our Children will spit on our graves and curse us because we are failing them by simply failing to use our brains, instead use our tummies to think.
Let us be sober and think about the future, time to focus on uniting our people and building our future is now.!
