Dear Nick Mangwana,

You explain something that is wired to work, you should learn from the Bond notes and Bearer Cheques.

Nick, Zimbabweans are not stupid, they know that this currency can’t buy them fuel, can’t pay for their passport applications, or customs duty.

Read the comments; they define the quality of political discourse in Zimbabwe.

I told you that they are not yet ready to hear the truth, not yet ready for change, and not yet ready to hold their leaders responsible and accountable.

As long as they are not yet ready, ZANUPF will

The central bank governor, John Mushayavanhu, said that you can’t legislate against money changers, it doesn’t work like that.

You instill confidence in a currency by making it able to buy anything on the market!

If we had a genuine and competent opposition in Zimbabwe, they would campaign for the ZiG to have purchasing power for everything, including fuel and passports.

When the current crop of opposition MPs was chosen, and many were imposed, I was insulted when I spoke about the

The Zimbabwean Standard newspaper reports today that Zimbabwe's new currency, the ZiG, has once again lost buying power on the black market, dropping from 20 to 23 against the US Dollar.

This is despite the arrest of illegal money changers last week, who remain in custody.

This reminded me of Robert Mugabe’s worst, ruinous, and final years in power. He was now rearranging the chairs on his sinking Titanic before it struck the iceberg in November 2017.

In a country with renowned intellects, it is tragic that some of Mnangagwa’s cabinet ministers

Everyone needs a break from this Ziggy life, juggling many currencies depending on what you are buying is not for the faint-hearted.

I love you Zimbabwe, it is those that run you that don’t love you. ✌🏿

Dear Rutendo Matinyarare

I am utterly shocked and disgusted that you are defending sleeping with kids when you are an old man.

There is a difference between an 18 year old boy dating a 16 year old girl and a 39 year old man manipulating and sleeping with a 16 year old girl.

You are

You see, a lot of people have been paid, the full story shall be revealed in due time.

People who will shock you who shout by day against the regime, yet doing deals with people like Chief Charumbira at night to allow “2030 vanenge vachipo” to be fruitful.

I had chosen to ignore this issue because of the grand ignorance on display, it was painful to watch.

Many people displayed their ignorance and struggles with comprehension.

In the decades to come, Zimbabweans will be studied in psychology and sociology, as scholars try to figure out how an entire nation could tolerate such stupidity.

This is not Cleveland Dam, this is a private dam at someone’s property in Borrowdale that is being developed as a new residential area.
