We know things are very bad in Zimbabwe at the moment. There is a severe food shortage and other basic commodities. The economy is on it’s knees. The country is going back to the dark ages with no electricity everyday. The forth coming elections have brought more confusion and uncertainty to the country. And it seems people are now in a hopeless situation, where they feel sorry for themselves and don’t try to improve their lives. What makes people adopt a lets wait and see attitude and at the same time complaining about how bad things are in the country.
People should start working to improve their situation and stop complaining.
“Mbudzi inofurira payakasungirirwa”, literally meaning a goat will only graze around that area where it’s tied to. So why is it that people don’t make the most of what’s available in their places of work to improve their lives.
Is it only myself who get fade up with people complaining that they spend most of their time at work, where they are not adequately rewarded for their work.
I’m not encouraging people to steal, but there is a way of benefiting from your place of work rather than waiting for pay at the end of the month. There are other work places like funeral parlours, there isn’t anything to take home, but ‘aye. If it’s not rewarding enough it’s better to get out.
If you have access to a product which you can make money from, why not use it to improve your life? Buy cheap and resale at a profit. True, some work in places where there is nothing to buy for resale. But then what’s the point of knowing someone in that all important food company? Why not use those connections to get something for resale. Is it laziness or what?
Some people go to neighbouring countries, South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique to buy goods they sale to these same people who are just sitting and complaining about how bad their situation is! All it takes is just a weekend to go to Mozambique and back.
People are complaining about how prices are going up everyday. Of course they will keep going up. With inflation said to be around 150 000%, surely the only way for prices is up! So people should stop complaining and start working. No one is going to come and help them. God help those who help themselves!
Is it surprising that even with the current problems in Zimbabwe, some people are driving the latest cars. Some may say it’s corruption, but once again one need to be able to adapt, learn to live in a corrupt world.
Zimbabwe’s economy is on it’s knees, supermarket shelves are empty, most commodities are only available on the black market. Corruption is now the fuel of life, so is it really possible not to be corrupt when you are living in a corrupt environment?
