Zanu PF destroying our children’s future!
Zimbabwe: Residents in Bulawayo have called on the government to take action against schools asking Fees in fuel coupons or in livestock. Some who do not have coupons have been asked to deliver fuel to the schools.
Though it is not clear how many parents have handed over livestock the practise is said to have been going on for sometime. But asking parents to pay Fees in kind, does it benefit the parents at all, or someone else is benefiting from this system?
One thing that is very clear is that this is the kind of corrupt activities that the government has allowed to continue in the country. I doubt very much that the parents will benefit from paying school fees in kind. It’s the school authorities who will benefit, whilst the parents are robbed of the last form of wealth that they have given the high inflation in the country.
The maximum cash withdrawal limit is set at $1000 and with the amounts of school fees being paid in Zimbabwe, how many times does one have to go to the bank?
Because of these cash shortages, that’s the reason parents have to resort to these desperate measures to enable their kids to attend school. What kind of future is the government creating for the future generations.
It’s so sad that the Zanu PF government has allowed things to get to this. Even after signing the power-sharing deal, there are no signs of a working agreement between Zanu and MDC. In fact my faith in this deal is running out, was it the right decision? I’m beginning to doubt it.
