By Tinashe Eric Muzamhindo| This evening, I decided to switch to ZTV, only to witness the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, was dishing out state of art vehicles to losing 2018 candidates, who joined POLAD. Notably, I saw one character, Joel Mugadza, receiving his vehicle. Honestly, I can’t control my laughter, I stopped eating, honestly, where on earth have you seen, a losing candidate, in a harmonized election, being rewarded a vehicle , for joining Political Dialogue ( POLAD)? Really, have we gone below this belt, to waste state resources, when we have the following projects which could have been prioritized ;
1. Decongestion of the city
2. Creating fly overs between Harare & Chitungwiza, between Harare & Norton or between Harare & Mazoe etc
3. Refurbishment of major highways

4. Dealing with our old infrastructure ( old buildings)

5. Improving the health sector

6. Improving the welfare of civil servants
7. Improving the livelihood of the ordinary Zimbabweans

8. Industrialization. Focusing on increasing productivity

9. Creating cities around Harare

10. Deploying Resources around critical sectors of the economy such as infrastructure development, mining, Agriculture, industry , tourism and Mining

Where on earth, have you seen this? What is this honestly? We need leadership therapy. All things being equal, all Zimbabweans must go through mental vaccination, or we need some therapy, because of the prolonged toxic nature of our environment.
