Vital task for the next Innovative President of Zimbabwe

15 Nov 2014 at 16:29hrs | Views

Zimbabwe's next President HAS TO BE HIGHLY INNOVATIVE!!! We have lost TIME since Independence because our monotonous leadership was preoccupied with heroism rather than productivity. We took 34 years worrying about who to bury at Heros Acre and who to dedicate Zimbabwean wealth accumulation to. In the course of 34 years, we left out new ideas to put Zimbabwe into a launch-pad to accelerate the living standards of our people.

The next President of Zimbabwe must be someone who does not belong into a cocoon of self-enriching generation of leaders. Our next leader has to be innovative.

Innovation means thinking outside the box. High vocabulary speeches and high degree hypothetic talk is not innovation. We have seen all this in 34 years and this time around, we do not want a President who dedicates his life and fame on productionless speeches.

Here is a list of tasks our new President must dedicate his work to:

(1) Genuine tribal unity

Current Mistakes:- In the past 50 years, our Zanu leaders built a party that recognises certain tribes as being better and deserving than others. This has created apartheid in a country that started it's liberation journey aiming to destroy apartheid. This is why it is easy in Zanu to prune Enos Nkala, Jabulani Sibanda, Jonathan Moyo, Edgar Tekere, Rugare Gumbo or Joyce Mujuru than it would be easy to prune Robert Mugabe or Sekeramai.

Since 1977, Zanu hierarchical patens have been Zezuru(first) Korekore (second) Manyika (third) Ndau (fourth) Karanga (fifth) Diverse Ndebele(sixth and last) while Whites have been obliterated.

The results of this paten is reflected as evident in today's Political Power, Business opportunity, re-distribution of land, developmental projects, empowerment, jobs, opportunity, education, living standards and the Zimbabwean general happiness index.

Once this evil is removed, the oncoming president will be difficult to delete from the hearts of Zimbabweans throughout  history.      

(2) Innovation in public waste of time (Queues and Corruption)

Current mistakes:- Zimbabweans spend too much of their economic time standing in queues since Zanu took over in 1980.

What makes a country wealthy is order. Order makes it possible to oil the gears of the economy and get the economic wheel  moving. All time wasting practices need an innovative President to deal with.

The new innovative President must force all Departments, Private or Governmental, to employ more work-force to stop the habit and addiction of a life in the queue that Zanu invented.

Queues must be abolished and where they are identified, the operators must be fined heavily or closed. Any institution that creates queues must employ more staff or close down. Be it at the Registrar's Offices or at the Boarder gate or at TM Supermarket or a Spaza shop. Any company or institution that keeps a Zimbabwean on the queue for more than ten minutes must close.

A Zimbabwean is the most and only important assert that our country has which drives our economic wheel. Arresting such an important asset at the cost of the country should be seen as treason by the next innovative President.

(3) Quarantine Police Force

Current problems:- Zimbabwe Republic Police are rotten to the core. I can't get into the microscopic detail to describe it but using the word ROTTEN is most descriptive.

ZRP do not even deserve the dignified name of a Policeman. It is a waste of the reader's time to describe what the reader already knows about ZRP.

The next Innovative President of the Republic must dedicate his life in creating a new Police Force. It is impossible to re-educate the existing force and doing so will damage anything we want to change in Zimbabwe.

A new Police-Force must be built out of new blood recruited from Universities and in Zimbabweans living in Diaspora specific countries such as USA, Canada, UK and Australia. Those is South Africa (not  meant to provoke my reader) must be avoided first.

The ethics of Policing has died in Zimbabwe as well as in Africa. These ethics are at the core of any country that aims to excel in economics. A strong unbiased and incorruptible Police Force is the first step to economic strength. There is a lot of temptation in Police ethics and these temptations are also existent in the best Policed Countries mentioned above. Zimbabwe used to be well Policed in the fifties and definitely not in the sixties. Not even Ian Smith Police were credible.

It is possible to recreate an ethical Police Force. One of the tools in creating a strong Police Force that our innovative President must do is to employ only University Graduates and pay them very well while making sure that a Zimbabwean Policeman found guilty of corruption must never be jailed for less than seven years. It is treasonous to represent Zimbabwean Law corruptly.

A University educated Policemen will not be intimidated to do his duties which involve arresting a corrupt Minister. A scantly educated Policeman like ones we have now cannot carry out a task to investigate a corrupt Minister because of lack of education. A well-educated Policeman can also arrest his own superior if the superior is complacent to criminal activities.  

The new and Innovative President must be able to delegate duties and make sure that the University Educated Police have real power even to arrest the President's own mother.

Without drastic Innovation in Police, Zimbabwe will remain an inferior African Country. All criminals calling themselves police now under this rotten leadership must be retired.

No transitional period between new and old Zimbabwean innovated police should be allowed.     

(4) Re-align land distribution

Current Problems: The land that was stolen from all Black Zimbabweans by Colonialists in 1894 has been successfully reclaimed but wrongfully re-distributed to a selection of people chosen by corrupt Zanu PF leaving the generality of Zimbabweans poorer than they were 130 years ago.

The new Innovative and no-nonsense President of the Republic of Zimbabwe must make land redistribution his first priority. All willing Zimbabweans must be entitled to farms by default. If the birth-certificate confirms that the bearer was born in Zimbabwe and the bearer wants a farm, the state MUST give the bearer a farm. No Zimbabwean must own more than one farm and all farms must be sized equally.

Land is an emotional assert  which our ancestors died and killed for and that must be respected. Every White Zimbabwean who wants a farm and can prove that he was born and his heart is in Zimbabwe, must get an equally sized farm by default. We do not want another land war to take our birth-right from Zanu beneficiaries. We no longer want to see a Zimbabwean kill another Zimbabwean over unfair and corrupt Governmental policy.

(5) Innovate Education sector

Current problems: At the moment, Zimbabwean education has fallen in standard and innovation than it was in 1935 when our President went to school.

Lack of innovation has left us teaching our children in an old fashion that our 1924-born President used to learn in 1935.

Because of lack of innovation, our country sees education in the eyes of 1935 model of perfection.

Our children are taught be teachers who were trained to beat children as a way of teaching. This was standard in 1935 and we are living in the past.

The negative results of this model is that our children now see torture as a way of making things right in every aspect of life. These children grow up to beat wives in order to get an upper hand in the family when they grow up. They teach their own children by means of torture and those tortured children grow up to become torturers.

When these children grow up, they become a Police-force whose only way of perfecting things is by means of torture. They grow up to become politicians have no any other known innovative way of getting heard than by means of torture. The people they torture are not foreigners but the same Zimbabweans who must be freed to innovate fearlessly and drive the economy by means of creativity.

A victim of torture cannot create things that are outside what is already existing thus why we buy simple things like plastic from Europe where torture is banned.

Our tortured Nation has become a frightened Nation which is afraid to face innovative challenges of life. They have an inherent fear to explore and invent because they were tortured to comply with what is already existent in all walks of life.

Nations who do not torture their children like Europe, produce creative children who invent simple goods and make money out selling them to those Nations who torture their economic drivers like Zimbabwe. You go to jail if you beat a British child. Beating a child is instilling fear on a British child rendering him useless and afraid to explore creativity. The British Government takes that as the worst offence which has a potential to drag Britain down the victim to the level of poor minded Nations like Zimbabwe.

If God allows Satan and his demons to run Zimbabwe again where innovation is suppressed, then I would advise every future thinking countryman to quit that devil ground.
