Zimbabwe's Saviour?

Robert Mugabe

Christ Jesus is The 'true Messiah'. Jesus  showed the way, healed the sick and raised the dead. When nations are in crisis, they call out for saviours. When the Hebrews cried out, they got national liberators. Just like for the Hebrews, effective leadership is honest, moral and God fearing.

Robert Mugabe, the saviour of Zanu PF, is no proven messiah for Zimbabwe. Water shortages, money shortages and power cuts plague a country poorly managed. Instead of dealing with issues head on, the government blames 'foreign forces'. Zanu PF lacks the integrity to deal with problems within.

Every good christian knows honesty is the key to self knowledge. Without morality, they is no redemption. Only after  you acknowledge your failings, can you can start the journey towards self correction. Working on your failings, by practising better habits, reconfigures your character. The journey is never easy and every being can only save themselves; no messiah can fight another person's moral  battle, messiahs can only show you the door to salvation.

Robert Mugabe leads Zanu PF through its scandal riddled history.  Zanu PF's opportunity has cost Zimbabwe dear. As Zanu PF wins politically, Zimbabwe dies economically. Zimbabwe needs leaders who reconcile political success with economic success. Zanu PF is not moral enough to achieve this goal. Zimbabweans are not courageous enough to challenge Zanu PF.  34 years of failed policy are proof of Zanu PF ineptitude.

Zimbabwe has no saviours within the standing political parties. Christ showed salvation is rooted in God not petty politics. The journey to true redemption is a personal struggle. Christ Jesus is a saviour and Jesus saved himself by avoiding corruption and immorality. Every citizen has to struggle to overcome corruption and immorality.

On the national front we need a moral leadership to encourage honesty and economic prosperity. Like Moses, Noah and Abraham a moral leadership delivers fair laws and national prosperity.  Zimbabwe's failure indicates immorality and corruption needs to be challenged on the national and personal level before the country can achieve prosperity.

Missing link

General Park-Economic Leader

Robert Mugabe has met his match. Politically he has a knack to survive. Zimbabwe right now needs someone to direct and lead the economy into the modern age. After over three decades, Robert Mugabe has failed to deliver on every economic promise.

Zimbabwe has a lot of academically trained  people. This is a hindrance, as it lacks practical leadership in government and industry. South Korea got out of its economic hell hole, through practical men like General Park who fought through economic challenge. General Park did not need MBA's and degrees to deliver. What drove him was purpose and a deep desire to get his country out of poverty.

Zimbabwe has to be honest. Propaganda peddled by The Herald  ensures failed administrators stay in control of a failed economic system. Tightly controlling the economy, as government is doing now, but driving it into permanent recession is the ultimate form of misgovernance. Without a free press to effectively educate  'educated' Zimbabweans, this country remains in crisis. The Herald will not call out the missing link to Zimbabwe's development. Right now, Zimbabwe calls out for economic leadership.

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!
