Zimbabwe's current economic problems can be tackled by brave personalities in the likes of the first lady Dr Amai grace Mugabe who has proved to be frank when it comes of saying out the truth. The first lady has proved to be pragmatic and looks to be the only one who can wipe out corruption.
The country is being bedeviled by corruption and in most cases those who are supposed to lead by example are the ones who are spearheading this cancer. Woe to you corrupt people for you are like whitewashed tombstones which are full of extortions and rapacity. For you preach to be righteous during the day whilst during the night you will be involved in shoddy deals.
We should all shun corruption and get involved in serious business for if we continue with the status quo surely this country will crumple before we know it. The first lady should continue shaming this brood of vipers who are continuing to ruin the country. The level of corruption has reached alarming levels to the extent that even the police who are supposed to be the custodians of the citizens they are being involved and almost on daily basis they are being caught.
Surely who will guard the guard in such scenarios; we should all welcome the first lady's stance on corruption. Some proponents of regime change are now opposing the first lady's move alleging that she is fast becoming a dictator. The truth is that these people are now seeing that the first lady is cleansing the messy which was created by some corrupt and power hungry individuals in their self aggrandizing nefarious activities.
Regime change agents and MDC should stop labeling ZANU PF supporters as if it is a crime to be a party member. In the inclusive government MDC failed to address the economic backlog now they are politicizing the issue and strategizing on how to block the projects. The MDC run councils and local authorities had also been found wanting as they were also being involved in corruption. Really no one is perfect on this earth of ours.
The first lady has been involved in a number of philanthropic activities. Among some of her philanthropic works include the upkeep of orphans in Mazowe and the ongoing distribution of food and other goods throughout the country. The lady has been instrumental in empowering women and exposing corrupt officials in the government. At least corrupt officials in the government fear to be exposed. Hence they have toned down.
At this moment we should all rally behind the first lady on her call to fight corruption and help achieve the country's economic blueprint, Zim Asset. Together we will conquer this cancer called corruption. We should not label the first lady as a dictator in fact we should label her as a brave iron lady in the making.
