5 years of false promises

IT is now five years since President Emmerson Mnangagwa took over from the late former President Robert Mugabe with the assistance of the military.

Mnangagwa promised a break from the past.

He proclaimed a zero tolerance to corruption policy. He said Zimbabwe was now open for business.

But five years down the line,

Mnangagwa’s promises have turned out to be a pie in the sky.

His promise to uphold the rule of law, constitutionalism, and human rights have not been fulfilled.

Instead, the new dispensation has taken corruption to a higher level and those who are corrupt are lavishly rewarded.

The fight against corruption has been politicised. Perceived political enemies are the ones who are arrested for petty crimes.

The military has on several occasions been used to intervene in political contestations and so is the Judiciary.

To say life in Zimbabwe was better under Mugabe would be an understatement.

Is it that they liberated the people in order to oppress them? Tired
