Mbare Squatters – Where is the Independence for these people

What happened to housing for all by the year 2000? The government promised housing for everyone and I think large sums of money where budgeted for this, so why do we have people living in shacks today?

Thirty years of Independence and we have people without land, a place where they can build a house to live.

This government has failed the people, do they still have anything to offer?

Something they have failed to do in the past 30 years.

A few years ago the government destroyed people’s house during ‘Operation Murambatsvina’.

Did they make any plans and provided accommodation for those affected? This is the kind of people who still want to be in power?

Is this a responsible government, a government which values the welfare of the citizens of Zimbabwe?

If at all they care so why do we have people living in shacks today after 30 years of independence?
