Stop blaming Mugabe on power crisis

It is so embarrassing that a grown up person like Chris Mutsvangwa blames the late Mugabe for all the woes the country is facing especially on this current power crisis being experienced in the country and yet he was part and parcel of the problem.

It's unfortunate that the same people who are blaming Mugabe want to seek another five year term to employ the same blame game.

This so called new dispensation is just a scam. It must come up with concrete and long-term solutions to the challenges facing the country than being cry babies.

This circus and unfair behaviour of blaming the late Mugabe who is not around will not solve the current crisis the nation is facing. People must learn to take responsibility of the present and move forward. They must allow him to rest in peace.

This whole leadership was in the government since 1980 and governed together with the ousted Robert Mugabe for 37 years.

These are traits and marks of bad leadership accusing the dead of their poor governance. Blaming him for the rot is just being insincere. Admitting that they have dismally failed is the right thing to do rather than shifting the blame on somebody whom they know is dead and cannot defend or respond to the allegations.

Zanu PF as a whole has failed the nation from the beginning when they took over power from the colonial masters up to date. From the start it was a backward decline from what they were handed by Ian Douglas Smith. They have absolutely destroyed nearly everything.

Emmerson Mnangagwa and his party have failed the nation. The only thing his administration has extremely done is corruption. He should be judged on the goals he established upon taking office in November 2017 through a military coup.

He made so many promises to the nation but little has been achieved. The unemployment rate is still soaring. Cost of living is spiralling upwards. The living standards of the majority is deteriorating each and everyday, serve for a few politically connected individuals who are benefiting from the feeding trough.

The dream of development has silently died. Zimbabwe is slowly getting closer to a failed state where it cannot support and supply its own people with basic needs.

These are the same couples people who are seeking for another re- election to govern in 2023.

It is so embarrassing that a country which prides itself on having  most educated people is being plunged into poverty and poor governance. We have allowed such kind of leaders to determine our future. Giving them another term would spell a disaster to the nation.
