Zambia's former President Edgar Lungu has died at the age of 68, his party has said in a statement. He had "been receiving specialized treatment in South Africa" for an undisclosed illness, the Patriotic Front added.
I want to put it on the record that I am not the only one saying public infrastructure has collapsed due to corruption in Zimbabwe’s government.
Meet Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo. She is a Zimbabwean judge, former head of the Zimbabwean Anti-Corruption Commission, and is currently the head of Zimbabwe’s National Prosecution Service.
Here, she says Zimbabwe is in trouble because of corruption.
She states that it remains one of the major barriers preventing Zimbabwe from succeeding as an economy and is causing its public infrastructure to deteriorate.
Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo specifically mentions the collapse of public health and schools and points out that corruption is the root cause.
She goes on to say that government figures estimate the loss of revenue due to corruption at US$1.8 billion. We know that it is more but let us work with the government’s own figure of US$1.8 billion.
All of Zimbabwe’s central/referral hospitals need only US$60 million a year to run smoothly without any shortages.
US$1.8 billion could run Zimbabwe’s central hospitals for thirty years.
US$1.8 billion could build 1,800 kilometres of tarred road from scratch.
Out of Zimbabwe’s six central hospitals, five were built by the colonial governments. The only central hospital built by ZANUPF is Chitungwiza, which was an upgrade.
US$1.8 billion could build seven central hospitals like Parirenyatwa or Sally Mugabe Hospital with a capacity of 1,800 beds. South Africa is building Tygerberg Central Hospital in the Western Cape for US$260 million. It is way advanced than Zimbabwean hospitals which were built over decades ago.
Sally Mugabe Hospital is 117 years old, Parirenyatwa is 72 years old, Mpilo Hospital is 82 years old, UBH is 85 years old, and Ingutsheni is 117 years old.
Chitungwiza is 42 years old; it was upgraded to a central hospital 18 years ago. These are Zimbabwe’s central/referral hospitals. ZANUPF has never built a single central hospital from the ground, it only upgraded Chitungwiza.
This is what corruption has done to Zimbabwe in the words of Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo who heads Zimbabwe’s National Prosecution Service and is the former head of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission and was also a High Court Judge.
