Zimbabwe is one of the few countries where people got poorer in the last 4 decades.

On the left you see the decline in GDP per capita and on the right you how household incomes changed at the same time – the share of people who live in extreme poverty increased.

@Mamoxn The original sin in zim was in 83 when in full knowledge that govt had deployed the army in Matabeleland, there were no mass demos against these abuses from other provinces. which was a sign of support from these regions of govt policy, same way they seem to support govt vs MRP

In most African countries governed by dictatorial regimes, opposition leaders tend to have the same tendencies as the dictators. They monopolize the leadership of their party for decades and will be the flag bearer of the party at every election till their death.

@ProfJNMoyo @fortunechasi What if there was no $1.2bn ever transferred from Sotic? This structure could be the other way round Prof, they create phantom debt transactions to govt entities, which have to pay Sotic. Now Sotic is using those funds to acquire key assets in Zim,
