Jobs, Jobs,Jobs

Over 10 000 graduates are capped by President Mugabe every year.

Worse than Shakespearean tragedy, these graduands have no chance of securing formal employment. To be self employed or full time unemployed that is the question.

Unemployment in Zimbabwe is over 75%; without formal experience and opportunity, these 10 000 will be stuck in the inflationary increasing poverty stricken.

I did not get capped by President Mugabe. This for me is a badge of honor, given I could see the economy was headed for colossal failure.Seeing  thousands cheering for cemented policy failure, at graduation ceremonies, reminds me- those who abuse their power and the abused are just as bad as each other. When the oppressed cheer their oppressor, you fear for the country's destiny.

Its all about jobs.Strive Masiyiwa, Zimbabwe's technology mogul, declares job creation is the main indicator of political effectiveness. Mugabe and the current leadership have failed to create real jobs, since 1980.

 The false 'socialist' Zimbabwean economy of the 1980s created 'jobs', by inflating the size of the civil sector. This unsustainable process precipitated macro-economic instability. Mugabe and associates should have encouraged growth in private industry, not nationalization, aka indigenization,which  induces rapid decline of all industrial sectors.

 The Zimbabwe theater continues with a recycling of policies that diminish the country's potential-let all the graduands get capped and keep the cheer up for that!
