Bills, Bills, Bills

You need 'Jobs' to pay bills. Steve Jobs,  created wealth and employment through Apple. US industries like; banks,the car sector, IT and armaments  show when government supports  industry, the jobs will follow. In all successful countries, government support is essential for job creation. To realize the talent of a Steve Jobs, innovation needs to flow through unrestricted.

Government support is key. Entrepreneur industrialists including Steve Jobs, Dale Carnegie and Harold Ford, could not create wealth without the  environment favoring wealth creation. Conducive environs ensure macro-economic stability, rule of law and monetary order. Such environments encourage genius. Talented individuals are not state persecuted ,but encouraged and motivated through policy.

Government can destroy enterprise.In Zimbabwe, our own smart ones are hounded by the government. Mutumwa Mawere, Strive Masiyiwa, Nigel Chanakira...the list is endless, were, and still are  deliberately hindered by a corrupt state. Can you imagine Bill Gates in a place like modern Zimbabwe?- he could not have made a $100 000 , given the corruption & bureaucracy in our country. The greedy politician is destroying Zimbabwe's potential. As talent is destroyed the country cannot pay its bills.

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!
