2018 ...the suffering matrix

2018, A reminiscent of Mugabe era...the suffering matrix

By Isaac Mupinyuri

I have been quiet all along trying to work things for my family. I have reduced my family meals to one when luck in the morning we have a very light breakfast not because we are on diet but we cannot manage. The unavailable of bread and many basic commodities pains and when it is there it is been priced out of my family reach $2,sugar $4.50.For a scant lunch our stomachs are now green as every time it is vegetables on the table and soya chunks replaces the expensive meat that is costing not less than $ 12 per Kg

Why did we remove Robert Mugabe if what Mnangagwa promised turns out to be Austerity measures which are said to be steps towards fixing the economy? Surely did we remove Mugabe to get this suffering? Did we cause the change of leadership to get reduced like this? Really if what we are attaining is what Zimbabweans are to get in the Mnangagwa 5 year tenure then another revolution is needed.

The Mnangagwa leadership is the worst Zimbabwe has ever had. .Even those who collapsed the banks like Mthuli Ncube, Mponda and many worst leaders you may know even if it is a Dip tank, or village borehole chairperson who exhibit failure according to your expectations is what Mnangagwa is. Every right to life has been taken away! .No decent meals, no access to standard health care, children are being priced out, school uniforms, books and the tuition fees are just unreachable.

The rising price of basic needs is not being complimented by salary increases. Any constitutional right to demonstrate against the employer is met with utmost force, suspensions or firing. The working class has been reduced, their salaries no long sustainable as commodities have gone up times three and the pay is frozen no chance of increment but continued introduction of reductive taxes to make sure they live as paupers. This is a loud shame.

The 2% percent tax introduced by Mthuli Ncube is heartless, eyeless descriptive of the Hitler era where the life of a person was easy to end like a chicken. The 2% rock even the chronically ill 95 year old in rural area who survive on sugar diabetes, BP and other life serving tablets which are unavailable in clinics and hospitals but alive in brutal Pharmacies owned by these  rich Zanu Pf chefs. To buy those tablets 2% is subtracted to the corrupt government of Mnangagwa which is withdrawing all social responsibilities which can benefit the disadvantaged.

The Mnangagwa government has since stopped sponsoring Command Agriculture which was a bone of contention at the peak of Zanu Pf factional politics with Grace Mugabe claiming to be the brainchild behind the program. If Mnangagwa was really the brains behind Command Agriculture why has he decided to abandon it? The few inputs the farmers got are leftovers from the Mugabe government.

The leadership of ED is non-people, hostile representative of cyclone Tsunami in Indonesia. People in this country are traumatized.

The Agricultural seasons has gone but farmers have no farming inputs as they were and still priced high by Agri dealers who are charging astronomic prices on inputs. The Command Agriculture is the only source of hope but this government is prevaricating on people’s lives.

Anyone close to any progress, development or anything Mnangagwa government is doing to uplift the people’s lives can you come and show me so I can feel a relief as around my community there is misery,despair and falsehoods. There are multiple potholes on the roads, no bond paper in government institutions. There is no confidence in employees as threats of being relieved of their unpaying employment are the order of the day.

The austerity measures Mnangagwa and Mthuli Ncube are pursuing are in reality a method to amass millions if not billions using government sources and for sure all that revenue will be abused and the program collapses just like that. It is like millions given to Chivayo who bought few metal sheets or ransacked the abandoned former white bans of the metal and elected the iron sheets cabin at the site of the project as the start and end on the project. Who cares as that will die away with the court giving a stamp of freedom to corruption?

Mnangagwa administration is really a big failure which is surviving on intimidation and deception. Zimbabweans are wasting their time even those soldiers who are vanguard of this regime. This regime have nothing new in their brains, they are drained and drenched, very hopeless. Mugabe is better. Mugabe could stand for the people when the business became careless increasing the prices of basic commodities. Mnangagwa keeps quite when leadership is wanted.

I think Mnangagwa has failed. Who can rescue us please? There are criminals surrounding Mnangagwa.
