Data madness, as it was in 1924, resort to Telegraph in 2017.

As we receive news of Mobile Data increase, the whole other sane World is having its Data reduced. The difference however, in Zimbabwe is that we are paying for the luxury of this lousy, inadequate, opportunistic, incompetent and layman Regime of Robert Mugabe who is enjoying life in Asia.
Pamberi neZanu!
Pamberi nekushinga!
Pamberi nekubatana!
Pamberi nekundzwisisa!
For thirty seven years, we sang these verses wishing that they were a pledge to progress, efficiency, proficiency, creativity, progressive and of beneficiary destination. The clueless regime of a cunning conmen has captured the minds of supporters and opposition alike. We all pay the same!
To blame Econet is our shear naivety. Econet just passed the bill to us. If it profitably costs $1 to produce, distribute and sell a loaf of bread, and the Government raises the cost by 30%, you can't help but pass the increase to the buyer who then pays $1.30. This is what Econet have done. If they decided to become nice and pay the increment on your behalf, Econet would fail like Air Zimbabwe, Like ZimDollar, like NRZ, like CSC etc.
Doing business in a country run by morons is a nightmare. I just wish Econet goodluck, otherwise, we are going back to the days of Mbuya Nehanda where sending a WhatsApp from Harare to Bulawayo took six months for the messenger to travel. In the whole other World, broadband is becoming anthropomorphic as a basic human right. In Mugabe's Zimbabwe, it will soon be a reserve for Kings and Queens.
Children in good countries do their homework on internet. Knowledge is awash on internet and if you want an educated country, start with a free internet. What's going to be for your child at Ngundu Primary School? Use this as a measure to see how important it is to deal with our 1924 Make of a President.
By the way, 1924 was just 26 years after Mbuya Nehanda had been hanged for inciting murder. Anyone who was born at that time does not see any problem with sending a messenger with a letter to walk to Bulawayo from Harare. Such a FOSSIL has no understanding why broadband must strive to be free.
If we have got no clue how to kick this 1924 led regime out, then, the best option is to leave the country and leave the fossil, its friends and its family to enjoy our country.
For their Freedom, we gave our blood,
For their happiness, we sacrificed our penny,
For their health, we gave ours.
For their voice, we restrained ours!
For their prosperity, we left the country.
And, as it was in 1924, let it be in 2017! Send a mechanical messenger, no WhatsApp laziness.
