Time to change our ways

The annual ZANU PF congress was a couple of weeks ago postponed and this is perhaps the greatest sign that things in Zimbabwe really need emergency attention. Much as we may deny the state of affairs in Zimbabwe and on the other end, exaggerate them, it is things of this nature that show the true state of affairs.
In the time that I have followed politics the ZANU PF congress is something that has always been about the excess of Zimbabwe and flexing of political muscle. In 2009 the congress was postponed, or is it cancelled. This I presume is the result of the party’s inability to raise funds for the major feast.
In any case, the congress is not the subject of the message; change is what this is all about. The signs are in black and white, things are bad in Zimbabwe. If there are still people in Zimbabwe who do not realize that then they are perhaps not in their full faculty.
Given this scenario is it prudent as citizens of this abundant nation to sit back and wait for the politicians of this country to wrangle for power and try to develop a solution to the social and economic challenges in the spare time they have between looting and plundering? Before you even think about answering that rhetoric question, the answer is NO, NO, it is not prudent to let this go on and hope miracles happen. Only a fool does the same thing over and over again and expects a different result each time. Having said that, I submit that Zimbabwe is a nation of 14 million fools. That may be a harsh comment but until we accept that we have not changed the way we have been doing things for the past decade or two we will never do anything productive.
Is it not for each individual to ‘pick up their cross and walk the path’ to make things better. We all have a place in the economy of things and if we do not effectively play our part it is silly, to say the least, to think someone else will play theirs.
It’s no challenge, it’s merely the responsibility you have ignored.
Play your part and together we will see the fruits of Abundant Zimbabwe.
