Bishops met doctors and talked about everything except elephant in the room - chronic bad governance

”Meeting Between Doctors Representatives and the Catholic Bishops and The Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe Representatives 29/11/2019," reported Zimeye.

"Today the ZHDA and SHDA representatives met the Catholic Bishops and Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe representatives at their request to discuss the challenges in the and map a way forward with the government with a view to resolve them."

We are just going round and round in circles here and all because no  one wants to talk of the elephant in the room although they all can see it. 

There is no point is asking doctors to go back to work when they are financially incapacitated, nurses are financially incapacitated and the hospitals themselves are financially incapacitated, there is no basic equipment and no medicines. 

There is no point is asking the government to pay the doctors, nurses and equip the hospitals because the government has no money. 39 years of gross mismanagement, rampant corruption and lawlessness that have made it impossible to do business have left the country bankrupt. For 39 years the nation has been stuck with a corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship that rigged elections to stay in power against the democratic wishes of the people. 

Mnangagwa and his Zanu pf cronies blatantly rigged last year’s election although he had promised to hold free, fair and credible elections. The same doctors, nurses, teachers and all the other professionals out there, who are today complaining of financial incapacitation, said nothing to condemn the rigged elections. None of these church leaders who are now pontificating about the suffering masses, have ever condemned Zanu PF for riding rough shod over the people’s freedoms and rights!

Until Zimbabweans finally snap-out of the sloth-like slumber and demand an end to rigged elections and bad governance nothing will change. Nothing!

As a rule of thumb, nations get the government they deserve. We in Zimbabwe certainly deserve this corrupt, incompetent, vote rigging and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship complete with its support cast of equally corrupt, incompetent sell-outs opposition.


Yes, ZHDA and SHDA representatives met the Catholic Bishops and Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe representatives, they talked about everything else under the sun expect the only subject that really matters - bad governance. And so the meeting accomplished nothing, it was just a total waste of time, another wasted opportunity to speak truth to power!
