Zimbabwe, your house is burning

Dear Editor,
Zimbabwe, why are you letting yourself down? Why do you let your economy decline at a rate second to none?
Zimbabwe, you are skilled and well-educated. Every member of each household has gone to South Africa to find work in one way or another except for members of the ruling party who also go to RSA to buy their groceries and other essentials.
There is no employment in your country, corruption is at its highest, and you get employment because you are affiliated to the ruling party especially in government.
The old man will not resist nature; his days are numbered. But at the moment your house is burning. Are you going to put out the fire by letting your voice be heard? Or you will continue to risk your life coming to South Africa to become servants of South Africans who are also misusing their opportunities they were given by their hard earned democracy.
Look around you Zimbabwe; your neighbours are trying to save your houses. The so-called leaders of southern African countries can only bark like dogs without teeth. The Arab revolution did not need any influence except for the belief in democracy; where is your democracy Zimbabwe?
Is it due to the so-called veterans who are keeping the old man in power so they hide behind him to protect themselves from being prosecuted? Their day will come!
Someone will answer for the bones found in the mines north of your country.
My neighbour see as the small nation of Eswatini show you how it is done. Take shovel wear your boots and start putting out the fire that is burning your house. As a South African I will welcome the old man as I have done with all former presidents for retirement.
My neighbours, wake up your house is burning.
