Leaders should dare us to dream

ZIMBABWE needs a new crop of leaders because the current ones have dismally failed to turn around our once vibrant economy.

Our leaders need to think outside the box and devise new ways of revamping this economy, which has been in free-fall at an uncontrollable speed.

We are fast heading towards the 2008 hyperinflationary era. We are spending hours dwelling on petty issues, while the economy is crumbling.

Productive time is being lost as workers spend hours in bank and transport queues.

All hope has been lost. Thousands

of university graduates are finding it hard to find employment in the formal sector.

We act as if we cannot see the root cause of the mushrooming of vendors who are selling all kind of basic commodities on the streets. Unemployment has caused all kind of street vending.

People are sick and tired of cheap politicking. We have failed to resuscitate our industries which have been lying dormant for quite a long time.

I do not understand the position of most opposition political parties which masquerade as democrats, but continue failing the people and taking them for a ride. These politicians have failed to improve the lives of the sons and daughters of Zimbabwe who have borne the brunt of Zanu PF misgovernance. Cry my beloved country.

All hope is lost and our leaders have pressed a self-destruct button. They should just swallow their pride and pave way for a new crop of leaders who still have the zeal and energy to take this country forward.

At this rate, Zimbabwe will never achieve the upper middle class economy by 2030. Zimbabwe requires leaders in the mould of Nelson Chamisa, who dares us to dream.
