I feel cheated by Mugabe’s ouster
LOOKING back on the euphoria of November 21 2017, the day — the late former President Robert Mugabe was forced to resign — I can’t help but feel let down by the so-called second republic.
Now five years on, I feel like a new bride whose hopes for a perfect marriage were dashed right on the wedding night. I feel cheated.
I was too excited and hopeful as the events of that fateful week were unfolding. Reality has now sunk in.
I stand in a queue now to buy milk for my one-year old, hoping that the Zimdollars I am holding will be enough to buy her daily ration.
I still dare to hope, but do so quietly now, as once beaten, twice shy.
