The last month has been one of the worst Zimbabwe has seen in recent years. Whilst leaders fidgeted and bickered around who gets what and how, ordinary Zimbabweans were at the war front facing death from a serious outbreak of cholera, famine and hopelessness. The cholera scourge is reported to have officially claimed more than 300 people in Zimbabwean hospitals but reports have it that thousands more have perished in rural areas after failing to access medication.
The Zimbabwe situation is now a sorry and miserable sight. As suffering and poverty continues at unprecedented levels, inflation astronomical like never before, one is shocked at the level of silence in Zimbabwe! Is it that the Zimbabwean mass is a docile lot or rather that there is all hope in the seemingly unending negotiations and summits. Does anyone really have hope in these talks anymore? More and more, I am persuaded to conclude that people are simply waiting for an official acknowledgement of failure from all parties including SADC and AU. I doubt if the matter will be fit for UN consideration as some have encouraged the MDC to consider. Surely one ministry away from a decent meal, one ministry away from opening of universities, one ministry away from implementing some agricultural sanity, one ministry away from sanity in the financial sector, one ministry away from resuscitation of our health system! I must be unrealistic, insane or we have an unfeeling leadership, power hungry lot...or rather a leadership without full control of their structures as they claim! Worse even, a leadership taking orders from other principals!
