@Ousmane722 @kwirirayi Both words are correct irregardless what you think.

@mukuru101010 I suppose you also think that women that wear short skirts are asking for trouble.

@advocatemahere We're doomed! Might as well get used to the fact. No one is coming to save us.

@sam_dzivah Who is the guy wearing the green jacket?

[Bkdp @Bkdp4]

@daddyhope So he's taken over from that other passionate fellow?

[Bkdp @Bkdp4]

@lilomatic What you're saying is nonsensical. You're saying Traore feels more comfortable with colonisers. Unless you think Russia never colonised anyone? Then you should check history books. Oh and BTW Russia is quietly colonising Africa while you sleep. They mine all your minerals.

@matinyarare @WeDzimW_muvindi It's not even a case of quality health care. Zimbabwe has NO affordable health care. Clinics don't even have basics like paracetamol or bandages. Surely USD 35 Million should buy those.

@OpenParlyZw Why don't you just fix the public transport system.

@Tess_ogar Brutal move on his part but you put yourself in the situation. If there wasn't going to be any seggs why did you even sleep over. You should have taken yourself home after dinner.

I think there has been an overhype of Zimbabwe’s education standards, mainly because we had a president who could speak good English and overinflate his achievements during 37 years of his dictatorship.

Zimbabwe has never had an O’Level pass rate above 33% in over forty years. In fact, our O’Level pass rate for 2008 was 8%.
That mediocrity is reflected in the quality of leaders that we have chosen across the political spectrum and the reasons why we choose them.

Zimbabwe’s leading eye surgeon, Dr Solomon Guramatunhu, said it well when he stated that Zimbabwean leaders are a reflection of the society they come from.

We have a few high-flying global experts who have done well for themselves, but their individual brilliance counts for nothing if we don’t understand the importance of collectivism.
That is why the majority thought it was okay for one person to make all the decisions regarding what should have been a mass movement. There will never see anything wrong with that because that is all they know and understand.

When people have never worked their whole lives, they will never understand the importance of collectivism. We also have a tribal problem; leaders of political parties and many facets of our lives have narrow minds that view politics through the lens of ethnicity.

When cornered in an argument, they lash out, saying, “Ahh mazezuru aya, makaranga aya, amanyika aya, or mandevere (not Ndebele) aya.”
A society that has leaders who are tribal, like our President, will never grow.
Samora Machel said that the tribe must die first for the nation to grow.

President Mnangagwa is a tribalist, so we shouldn’t expect much from him or his political ilk.

The other problem is that the few who have done well seek to destroy each other. I know many Zimbabweans, especially in international civil society organisations, whose main purpose is to delegitimise fellow compatriots.
They are so petty that they don’t understand that your candle can glow without having to blow out someone else’s. Educated by fools!

I have been to places like Rwanda, Nigeria, and Kenya, where I have been asked,
“Why do you guys seek to destroy each other? So-and-so was saying this about so-and-so.”
They will actually pick up the phone to destroy another compatriot. These are people with LLBs MBAs and Master’s degrees from different disciplines, not your uneducated folks.

So, until we stop finding pleasure in the downfall of others, until we learn to work collectively, and until we choose leaders who have something to give back to society and not just political rhetoric, we will remain where we are. Until we understand that it is petty to put tribe ahead of nation, we will always remain a laughing stock.

There is nothing special about Zimbabweans, except that we have a beautiful country with a lot of mineral wealth that have been mismanaged. This is how we are defined.

It is not just about ZANUPF; it is about us as a society, because ZANUPF tendencies are also found in the so-called opposition. They are just not magnified because they don’t have power yet.

We have seen ourselves through the lenses of exceptionalism, but there is nothing positively exceptional about people who walk on top of sewage and think that is normal. Genuinely educated people with critical thinking don’t do that.

There is nothing exceptional about a country where professors, who are supposed to be repositories of knowledge, work day and night against the collective national interest and are still seen in certain quarters as relevant!

Our saving grace will be our ability to accept this first, and then take steps to fix our societal problems with a sense of clarity and honesty, not pretence.
When I see you doing well, I should applaud you and not try to destroy you. If we are both doing well, we should combine our success and ensure that it benefits other members of our society.

Success is not being individually rich when you come from a dysfunctional society; that is failure!

@daddyhope As usual so many people commenting on this thread have completely missed the point. Which is that we have lost our spirit of Ubuntu. If we as Zimbabweans worked together we'd be unstoppable.

[Bkdp @Bkdp4]

@HateIt_o_LoveIt @nickmangwana My thoughts exactly. Instead of crowing about the rain you should be embarrassed about the lack of drainage causing flooding.

[Bkdp @Bkdp4]

@pallnandi So you're saying that all women with men are happy.

@WarimaWilfred @LynneStactia Is Passion Java related to Apostle B Java?

@ZetdcOfficial We still have no power since Monday 6th January. When can we expect our transformer to be replaced and substation secured.

[Bkdp @Bkdp4]

@stanmabuka @daddyhope Do you honestly think that these young people are doing that for themselves? Where would they get the money to buy or hire that earth moving equipment.

[Bkdp @Bkdp4]

Our dilapidated substation vandalised and cleaned out in broad daylight right next door to a police station. #zetdc #zesa Surely it's in your interest to maintain and secure these with the help of #zrp
