We need a bail out and do away with arrogance

Honestly Zimbabweans we are in deep crisis and I don't think this is a laughing matter. Politics aside and we should sit down and rebuild this nation. My assumption is I think Zanu PF must swallow their pride and sit down with all stakeholders and call for a stakeholder's conference where people should table real issues affecting this country.

Zanu PF can win 2018 elections so what? MDC T can win elections so what? Any other party can come in so what? I don't think we should dwell on petty matters when the country is sliding into political oblivion.

Our focus should not be on elections but the welfare of people. I think Mugabe should have the heart of the people and reconsider the plight of this nation.

So many things have been said in the past concerning his ruler ship but it is high time he should consider his legacy before retirement. Yes we can mock each other but we speak things do not look good.

There are some people who have failed to go to work because of bus fare, this country has been reduced to destitute, and the level of begging in Zimbabwe is very alarming.

What exactly are we fighting for? I suggest it is high time Zanu PF should consider the plight of its citizens and address issues urgently.We need real leadership.

I'm very disappointed with the situation in this country, and Zanu PF as the governing party must do away with arrogance and pride and they should admit that there is a crisis and begin to accommodate other stakeholders in this country.

Yes Zanu PF can win 2018 elections but honestly there are two issues which will give them headache and these are legitimacy and the economy.

The outside world is watching everything and it will be very difficult for any institution to consider giving us a bail out. I think the opposition is very important in rebuilding the economy.

There are people who are going for days without proper meals, but to Zanu PF chefs it is normal so long their things are in order. It is high time they should do away with arrogance and pride and consider other people.

Most of these guys are running luxurious businesses and majority of them they have properties within and outside the country and my question is what we are going to tell our children, I mean the future generation of this country.

Remember there is life after politics, you need to mingle with others and it is high time you should work on that.

So many things have transpired in this country and no accountability of resources, high level of corruption and it is important to genuinely know that Zimbabweans are well educated and their silence does not mean that they are stupid and this should be a lesson to the governing party.

I believe that Zanu Pf and MDC T and other like-minded parties should begin to talk and set their difference aside because our situation is very pathetic. We need a bail out.

This issue of printing money is non-starter, we need real economics where we should implement eat what you kill type of economics.

This Government should be a principled Government that should begin to implement proper policies that can address service delivery and other key important matters. So the ball is in Zanu hands.
