1. RBZ policies always present a moral dilemma for those in business and the ordinary man on the street. We can't have a nation where honesty and integrity are the surest way to poverty. This is a situation that happens when a nation is run by thieves.
2. Their policies are meant to create new revenue streams for the selected few and as soon as the public catches on, they change the policy again creating a new stream for the oligarchs.
3. In the end, the common man is faced with the daily decision of acting according to the new law and make a loss or go against the stupid regulations and survive. We can't do this Bazalwane. Our nation needs to be freed from this gang of bandits.
4. It is a huge tragedy that surviving in Zim means going against some silly law which those in Govt don't even follow. The 1: 1 fiasco worked when elites could get forex trade it at 1 to 5 on the market and then took back the bond and exchanged it for USD.
5. We are losing many principled and honest people to underhand operations. The loss of moral integrity in the nation is a massive security threat. A trickle always leads to a flood...future generations will not have anything to fall back on after we are done.

1. We used to grow maize in our backyards and some greenways back in the day. Our strategy was simple, we choose Pioneer seeds because it had more kernels per cob and it was resistant to drought and heat.
2. We used to sakura at least twice, first at knee level then again before tassels come out so that by the time harvesting was ready we would have sorted the whole field. Fertilizer we used both compound D or and KN at appropriate times.
3. This was just town farming, not even a huge place. Every year for our family of 4 we had at least a tonne. The conclusion from our neighbors was that we had "divisi" a form of mbashto that stole their success in doing the same.
1. Even if Christianity had not made it into the African continent we would still be stuck in a rut. We believe there is a mbashto for everything and anything. KuMasowe they give muteuro we chibereko, muteuro wekuwana basa, wekugona chikoro, webusiness.
2. Our traditional beliefs unfittted us for a fast evolving world that needs dedication and full application of the mind without rabid superstition. Right now a whole cabinet in country X is obsessed with the bones and a ruling staff from a dead corrupt leader.
3. We believe success can only come through engaging in some super human ritual. Grown men rape mentally ill vagrants in the name of luck, some sodomize little boys coz n'anga told them so. Some become gay for a moment to secure good luck.
1. The problem isn't religion, the problem is we plan and don't act, elect criminals and then cry when they impoverish us. We have no willpower to save ourselves nor do we respect ourselves to go beyond what our ancestors did. We are rabidly nostalgic living in the past.
2. We need to be serious about solving the problems we face. Everything we have received from other cultures we have made it an end unto itself. In religion we stop working hard and being aggressive in getting more because we want it to rain from heaven.
3. We got democracy but we have made elections the goal and not part of the process. Ours is an inability to improve and go beyond what our ancestors left us. They left us many things but we still want to just do what they did in their time.
