MY TAKE ON CRISIS IN ZIMBABWE...

By Enisia Mashusha

It is with a heavy heart and depressed mind that I get to note the deplorable nose diving state of my country the Republic of Zimbabwe under the watchful eye of President Robert Mugabe and his cabinet full of able bodied men who have allowed the state capture by the First Lady Grace Mugabe under the watch. In our African culture, it is taboo to scold elders, people whom we regard in high esteem to be full of wisdom and knowledge about life itself and survive skills. We are also a culture that has a long way in the emancipation of women, that's why I dedicated my life to the upliftment of women and the girl child, the preservation of our cultures and norms., respect of our way and our elders who other women test with disdain are down treading left right and centre. The state if Zimbabwe has never been in this crisis that it sees itself in today. Never until President Robert Mugabe decided to privatise the country and made it a personal business, since Grace Mugabe's so called invitation into active politics we have witnessed a down turn of events in our beloved country. She has disposed 2 Vice Presidents under her belt, displaced thousands of people at her instruction. Lives have changed for the worse because of Grace and the name of Zimbabwe have descended into deplorable levels as she treats not only Zimbabwe, but the whole of Africa as her backyard as she acts and thinks as if she is always right and she is the only one with rights, hence she can beat innocent children at her will and insult people far much older than her and get away with it. To begin with all her words and actions do not reflect the humanity of a mother, not only a mother of people but a mother of "The Nation" who must nurture it and endure the pain of a mother when things are not going well in the house. To be able to get the land for the orphanage in Mazowe many people were left homeless by a mother who is supposed to give them homes and shelter. Joyce Mujuru was not spared. Now Grace Mugabe wants to be the Vice President, that's why she was allowed to vilify government leaders in ways never unheard of. That's why she was allowed to control government departments when she holds no position in Government, that's why she flexed her muscles in South Africa where she beat the poor girl thar was being taken advantage of by her children, not caring how much the mother of the poor girl felt..mmmm amai marwadzisa
