Mr president
I am writing an open letter to you as the head of this country. Jehovah loves you so much that's why you are still at the realm even up to today. When I was growing up i used to read a lot about and was wishing to be wise and intelligent like you.
With the wisdom bestowed upon you by the almighty, Mr President, I know you have those who you trust to listen to, those who work closely with as your friends, relatives and advisors. Not forgetting gossipers. I am a lowly youth, a nonentity, a nobody in your country, serve for that i pay little tax one way or the other. Who am i to find audience in you, and as a busy man who am i to be listened to.
Without quickly belittling myself, i have belief that a wise person listens from anyone despite their social standing, this has culminated in me writing this letter with great hope that you will read it.
Mr President, things are not proper in this country. Maybe you are too busy to notice it but the truth is its only you who have powers to solve our Zimsituation. As the only voice that can be listened to in this country i have a few proposals i think you can help us as our father. I beg you in Jesus name to have a heart of a father and help this nation by implementing one or two requests am listing below
1. Reign in corruption
2. Fire incompetent officials
3. Your government must be trimmed
4. Be at the forefront in denouncing violence from either police, your party and opposition parties
5. Call for a national dialogue. A People's Convention. We have all sectors included from ward committees to national structures. We have people's committees from wards to national level where all political parties, civic, churches etc meet as committees and come up with solutions they raise to the district up to national committee.
Afterall we are one nation one Zimbabwe. We may differ politicaly but it is our country which needs all of us to make it prosperous for us and our future generation
