We got inspired by Dinizulu Mbikokayise Macaphulana as he wrote this mindblowing article. We are sure you too can be challengedby the realities in it.
IN these last days of Robert Mugabe, to think of
the Zimbabwean polity and economy is to confront
crises, disasters and calamities. What is visible to
even the uncircumcised is the crushing cash
crunch, increasing poverty of the masses,
infrastructural disrepair and the scarcity of life
itself. These obvious disasters and calamities have
arrested our collective attention the way the
undulating colours of the python captivate a
doomed animal that is about to be squeezed and
swallowed whole by the monstrous predator.
In the ruling party and the political opposition, the
past weeks have seen a spectacular display of
numbers and crowds that support the
organisations. In apparent wisdom, at long last,
some political entities have even been forging
coalitions. Parties and politicians have been keen
to show some muscle, fire some warning shots in
preparation for 2018 elections that in my view will
never come because for now the future of
Zimbabwe is in the past. Behind the economic and
political chaos and the spectacular crowds that the
parties and politicians have been flaunting in the
streets is concealed a looming civil war.
