A nation 'made in Zanu-PF'

15 Jan 2015 at 07:19hrs | Views

Inheritance of a duel became all a daunting task, a nation inherited by a clique manufactured with real material of destruction, a DNA of plunder progeny, a quest of self enrichment of an unfathomable proportion, a mentality of sheer directionless dictatorship. Cry my beloved country…..

Once the Southern African bread basket, now a mere Suberian Gulag, the youths per se are supposed to be the lifeblood of our nation but hope in them has confined them to being Abiku children of the Yoruba tradition. A nation is engulfed on an undescribable mental contestation between excessive Zimbo pessimism and excessive Zimbo-optimism.

A nation run like a fowl run by a tired gerintocratic elite. Political sickness, madness and political drunkness are the order of the millenium in all Zanu pf books. When did our culture become so potholed, so corroded….all this makes me shudder. A society with a provincial mind, a slim mentality and surely a malnourished old, frail mindset.

We are leaving in a time of neocolonialism not of the imperialists, but of a black comprador who blindly and beastly devour any aspect of righteousness. The country is in that golden age dominated by the corrupt, the greedy, the imbecile, the psychobabblers, the mediocre and the evil. For an innocent soul like mine, the post independence Zimbabwe and its manufacturers beats me hollow. We are in a state of quagmire were industries are ghost houses, the educated belong to the streets, loyalty not merit matters.

Politics as moulded in the mindset of an innocent Zimbabwean is the only game played with an iron ball and with neither a referee, numerical fairness and even medics but with an expectation of every player scoring. Sure?? Scoring an iron ball without getting injured is a torrid task. The relationship between the incumbents and the people that voted them remain in the Chinua Achebe Conception of a rich man, poor man relationship…….when the rich man is sick he wait for the poor man to come and see him but when the poor man gets sick he will wait to recover so that he can go and tell the rich man that he was sick. Morality in a newly formed nation has been substituted with a blend of greediness, corruption with impunity among a myriad of mishappenings.

A country with highest rate of literacy rate while highest rates of illiterate activities. A government of foxes taking care of innocent sheep. Also evident is that in a sea of general moral collapse ,the regime will survive through fear , sheer cruelty, patronage , scotched early policies,opportunism and psychophancy. A mentality of recklessness forms the greater part of the celebral of the leaders. Hope has long ago been arrested, the future kidnapped, the dreams have been paused. We are on an island with no dreams, no future and no hope.

A leadership that lives in denial, a nation headed by those that suffer reverse mental function….a modern Soddom and Gommorah in the making. There a country is made in the Zanu pf way. Like the George Owell Animal farm …'our lives remain miserable laborious and short'. Surely the gods must be crazy. If all citizens will surely watch the crazy political players to continue, the results are displayed in the sky. Zimbabwe will never be country again
