The ruling Zanu PF has been accused of making false promises during the 2013 elections considering the deepening economic crisis and continuous loss of jobs by many citizens instead of its promised 2,2milion jobs being created.

Bhekimpilo Mloyi, a Zanu PF supporter said in 2013 the rest of the nation was promised all the good things among them an improved economy, 2 million jobs.

"I therefore find it alarming that very little if anything has been done. Our gvt has turned a blind eye to the predicaments of the electorate," he said.

"Instead of creating employment as promised, a 40 000+ has lost their jobs, the economy is even at the verge of collapsing. An ordinary Zimbabwean kumaruwa even in the City is suffering people r struggling to survive, in the previous years twas better because of the rains wc used to sustain most of the Zimbabwean citizens,lest we 4get ,the majority of Zimbabweans lives in the rural areas."

Mloyi said even those that government employees are now suffering, for the 1st time in Zimbabwean history, the majority of civil servants had to spend the holidays without their salaries as the government has failed to pay em their dues and in time.

"I mean ,just how worse can it get? What i find alarming again is the way the gvt handled this matter, people had to learn from newspapers that they wont be getting their December salaries this year. The minister of finance did not even have the decency to apologise for the inconvenience caused. Was i surprised? I wouldn't be," he said.

"I couldn't be ,at least not after the way they treated our senior citizen ,the pensioners who only received their November pensions on the 21st of December after some weeks of sleeping on pavements of their banks. How heartless can we get as humans? Are we this carefree?"

"I write this with a heavy heart, sometimes I wish I could have a one on one with people like Patrick Chinamasa."

He said government ministers are growing fat like plump louse when the ordinary Zimbabwean is dying of hunger, whilst the ordinary civil servant is growing thin after working hard not just for meagre salaries bt to have their pay postponed to next year.

"Govt minister r living in plushy surbubs,living a good life whilst the electorate is suffering. Why have people become so inhuman,is it greed? Is it because we do not even care abt the next person? Then you wonder ,whom are you representing at government level. Whose government are you? Because no people centred government will act like this. Why have you chosen to reduce an ordinary Zimbabwean to a common beggar, the pensioners to common street kids, the civil servants to slaves," he said.

"People are busy with factional, successionist and sloganist politics when people are suffering, will you be able to answer for all the lost lives when the time comes? It surely will come, we all stand assured. When is the government going to be concerned about the welfare of the people? We are tired enough is enough people."
