The quality of our leaders in government, the opposition, ZCTU, you name it is really appalling and no wonder the country is in such a mess and has been blundering back and forth at a total loss as how to get out.
The Zanu PF regime rigged last year's elections but has failed to rig economic recovery. Instead of the regime stepping down so the nation can hold free, fair and credible election because only a legitimate government will have the mandate and confidence to address the teething problems behind the economic meltdown; it is hang on to power. As long as this illegitimate regime remains in power the economic meltdown will only get worse, more and more companies will close throwing more and more workers on the country's Mountain Everest unemployed heap.
Unemployment in Zimbabwe has soared to 90% plus, it must be one of the highest, if not the highest already, in the whole world. One would expect the country's labour movement to be working hard to ensure the few remaining jobs are not lost and demanding of the Zanu PF regime to honour its election promise to create 2.2 million jobs. It is now a year since the elections and all the nation has seen are more jobs being lost and no new ones! It is therefore a complete surprise that the ZCTU has in fact taken upon itself to prepare more workers to climb Zimbabwe's Mount Everest unemployment mountain!
"The new economy which this Cde Chinamasa was speaking of will destroy the formal economy. What measures are we going to take to deal with that? Obviously we have to look at new ways of capacitating and empowering our people on how best to deal with the challenges of informality because that is where our members will be in the near future," ZCTU leader Japhet Moyo said according to a News day report.
The shocking incompetence of Zimbabwe's leaders is everywhere; in politics take Morgan Tsvangirai, another failed ZCTU leader, for example. The nation risked life and limb to elect him and his fellow MDC village idiots so they would bring democratic change. After five years in the GNU they failed to get even one democratic reform implemented. Not even one!
Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs have done no better; they have failed to deliver the freedom, liberty and human rights including the right to a meaning vote and the right to life itself for which the war of independence was all about. After 34 years of independence all the nation has to show for the war sacrifices is a national economy in total ruins, a badly traumatising people after the decades of brutal repression and over 30 000 murdered for selfish political gain!
Zimbabweans must from the past and pay attention on who they elect as their leaders or the nation will only sink deeper and deeper into this political and economic hell Mugabe has landed us! Trade Union leaders preparing their members for the challenges of unemployment; how stupid is that!
