As 2019 comes to an end despair is the emotion that greatly describes how most Zimbabwean citizens are feeling. The hope that once filled their hearts after President Mnangagwa took office has long since gone and all that is left is an illusion of what Zimbabwe could have been under a better leader.
Zimbabweans are a joyous people but President Managagwa and his government have sucked all the joy out of people's lives. This year has seen people beaten, tortured, raped and murdered all because they dared to raise their voices against this oppressive regime. Not a single person was ever brought to account for all those atrocities. People have died unnecessarily due to treatable diseases that have gone untreated due to the poor state of our hospitals. In the mean time the elite in government have jetted off to countries like China and South Africa to receive medical care and yet they leave the citizens to die.
The unemployment rate in Zimbabwe has risen to a least 90% with a record number of people having to rely of food aid just to survive. This Christmas many households went without the usual rice and chicken as they could not afford to buy such luxuries. With all these problems that are facing Zimbabwe the corruption within the halls of government has however gone unchecked with hundreds of millions of dollars that could have been used to feed our people and provide supplies to our hospitals disappearing without a trace. So who is to blame for the poor state of affairs in Zimbabwe?
President Mnangagwa made a lot of promises when he was campaigning to get into office and none of those promises have materialised for the ordinary Zimbabweans. Has he failed as a leader...he definitely has!
