Zimbabweans have been held poverty hostages by Zanu such that a 2kg bag of rice is enough to sway their vote and bank accounts excitement. It is painful to see them excited that the same government holding them in pauper bondage has offered them US $75 salary or allowance incremental.
That is is labelled Covid 19 Allowance means it’s donor funding that was meant for Covid 19! In addition, it begs the question; are we serious to be celebrating a US$75 increase!! Is the living standard that cheap in Zim? Are we are that every business entity has increased its prices and service costs to swallow more than the pittance US$75 which in case will not be paid in real US dollars but local currency? Zim can not manage to pay civil servants in US dollars because it simply doesn’t have the currency!! If it’s there, it’s in ministers and friends’ overseas accounts. The rest of us poor souls can only be excited for a few minutes till reality sinks that we have been fed on candy floss. How so pathetic!! We have over the years allowed Zanu to be our saviour with false promises that only lead to misery and suffering.
