JackyTee :
The problem starts with us as Zimbabweans when we begin to normalise situations that are not normal.
Take the Honda Fit situation Is it normal? Hell no. But because we have lived through so many difficult situations, we have become accustomed to accepting things that should actually make us angry and demand change.
And then you hear people saying, “Chivhayo aripi? Ngavabetsere.” No. Let the man enjoy his ill gotten money. Whether we know where he got it or not is a separate conversation. He is not the government.
It is the responsibility of our government to take care of its citizens—not the responsibility of one ordinary citizen who is busy dishing out luxury cars and money to people who, quite frankly, may not even need them.
We have to stop shifting the responsibility from those who are actually supposed to serve the people. Charity is a personal choice; good governance is an obligation.
As Zimbabweans, we deserve better. We have been called all sorts of names everywhere we go because our people are struggling, yet our leaders seem unmoved by the suffering of their own citizens.
The question we should be asking is: When did suffering become normal? When did our people stop deserving better?
Zimbabweans are resilient, yes—but resilience should never become an excuse for poor leadership.
We can not continue normalising poverty, poor services, economic hardship, and situations that force our people to leave their homeland just to find a better life.
Our government should be asking why its citizens are struggling—not waiting for wealthy individuals to rescue them.
Let Chivhayo eat his money. Let him spend it however he chooses. But let us also hold our government accountable for the responsibility it was elected to carry.
We deserve a country where survival is not celebrated as success, where basic things are not treated as luxuries, and where ordinary Zimbabweans can live with dignity.
Let us stop normalising what is not normal. Our suffering deserves attention, accountability and change. Cry my beloved country.🇿🇼
