China is a nation of 1.5 billion people with a GDP of US$20 trillion, it has 21 ministries, and it is the second biggest economy in the world.
Zimbabwe is a nation of 15 million people with a GDP of only US$20 billion, yet it has more than 26 ministries and is one of the worst economies in the world with the highest global inflation .
Do you now understand why we are a joke and laughing stock?
Whilst Mnangagwa has appointed a cabinet of family, friends and actresses, four out of the seven members of China’s Politburo Standing Committee hold degrees in Social Science and Humanities.
The majority of the Central Committee members are trained in Law, Economics, and Social Science.
Within the Central Committee, 45 members have a PhD degree.
Out of these 45, three members of Politburo and two members of Politburo Standing Committee have a doctoral degree.
Chinese President Xi Jinping is one of the Politburo Standing Committee members who holds a PhD, the other being premier Li Keqiang.
China’s top two leaders have doctoral degrees.
Then Africans wonder why the continent is a joke to the outside world and why we don’t progress?
Imagine the people who were appointed today are essentially the best foot forward for the president🤣🤣🤣
I had dinner with 2 Chinese diplomats in 2012 after Dr Ibbo Mandaza asked me to drive him to the dinner meeting at Great Wall Chinese restaurant in Belgravia.
The diplomats asked why we send useless people for trade negotiations.
They asked if we can’t see that there is a difference between national interest and personal interest.
I felt so humiliated when they started talking about the number of poor citizens that China lifted out of poverty every year.
We can only talk of the number of citizens that we impoverish annually.
We don’t even have a working radiotherapy cancer treatment machine.
We have a cabinet that can’t think beyond its nose, and that has no gravitas, and you still wonder why Zimbabwe is a sick man of the region?
I belong to the Tutu Fellowship/African Leadership Institute, and in our group we have ministers and ambassadors from various African countries.
These are very sharp people!
One of them who was recently appointed as ICT minister in Nigeria spent his time as an entrepreneur before the appointment hanging out with people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, yet Mnangagwa appointed an actress from Studio 263 as Zimbabwe’s ICT🤣🤣🤣
What will she discuss with Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg?
We really should stop this nonsense of talking up how educated we are, it is a myth.
No educated nation will have someone like Kirsty Coventry who has run down sport reappointed as sports minister🤣🤣🤣
We should say we have educated individuals, that is where it ends because that education doesn’t translate into an educated country.
It is uncoordinated brilliance because we are led by people with no vision for the country beyond looting, repression, abuse of State institutions and plunder of the country’s natural resources.
For now we are doomed”
Thank you! We live in a country where even admitting that the system is not working is a great achievement.
We all can see that Zimbabwe is a failed state and yet very few are aware of it because they want to see the positives, the cloud’s silver lining they ignore the danger the gather storm represent. 44 years of Zanu PF rigging the elections is all water off a duck’s back and yet this is the number one reason why we are a failed state.
The nation has risked all to elect MDC/CCC leader for the express purpose they will implement the necessary democratic changes to stop Zanu PF rigging elections. After 24 years including 5 in the GNU, and not even one token reform implemented; no one can dare ask why because there are many who consider Chamisa their infallible demigod who must not be held to account.
I totally agree, we really are a doomed nation. A nation with so many devoid of common sense is doomed.
