My Dear People
Zimbabwe has just commemorated its 45th year of independence but the funereal mood in the country testifies more to the devastating impact of the dismal failure of the Scarfmore led dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion than any elation of more than four decades of self-rule.
This is more so since the unceremonious removal of the wisdom imbued Gushungo in that dark year of 2017.
Since being propelled into power by guns and tanks, the Scarfed One’s embarrassing record of failure and repression has turned what was once a joyous celebration of Uhuru into a day of depression for the majority of the country’s citizens burdened by the yoke of unprecedented levels of poverty, company closures, job losses, power outages of up to 18 hours daily and endemic corruption.
It is shameful that even after marking 45 years of independence, the country’s citizens have to rely on boreholes for portable water as the taps are dry.
That Scarfmore has launched a presidential borehole programme in the country’s urban areas in the 21st century is indicative of the breathtaking incompetence that reeks in the corridors of Munhumutapa.
It is a damning indictment of the Scarfmore regime that in the same week the county marked 45 years of freedom, university lecturers are languishing in jail simply for protesting the paltry wages they earn and that journalist Blessed Mhlanga remains imprisoned just because the regime took offence to HSTV broadcasting a press conference by former ZanuPF central committee member and war veteran Blessed Geza.
It is laughable to celebrate independence when the focus by the regime is to tear apart the constitution to enable Scarfmore to extend his bankrupt leadership from 2028 to 2030 at a time public hospitals have become death traps and pensioners, among other vulnerable groups, have become destitute due to a lack of social safety nets.

The commemorations of the 45th year of Independence is a stark reminder that we are not yet free.
Munopengaaa!!!
The farcical Glenview by elections have exposed how meaningless the voting process has become to the country’s citizens after less than 20% of registered voters in the constituency bothered to cast their ballot.
Elections in the country have become a joke since the hijacking of the main opposition party Citizens Coalition for Change by unelected buffoon Sengezo Tshabangu with the assistance of the Scarfmore regime.
After Nero, who received more than two million votes in the widely slated 2023 harmonised elections, quit the party, as a result of the Tshabangu circus, the CCC has been left reeling, stumbling aimlessly like headless chickens.
The voter apathy evident in the sham Glenview by elections showed that the country’s citizens are sick and tired of voting for their representatives, only for some clown to emerge and remove them be it in the form of Douglas Togaraseyi Mwonzora or Tshabangu.
This disenfranchisement of voters adds to the plethora of reasons the 45th Independence celebrations have failed to resonate with the majority of the country’s populace.
Munopengaaa!!!
The heart rending pleas of the late musician Tatenda Pinjisi for painkillers that were not in stock at the Sally Mugabe Central Hospital before succumbing to injuries he sustained in an accident has exposed yet again how the health sector has been neglected by the vapid Scarfmore regime.
It is ironic that this sad incident occurred just before the regime leads celebrations to mark 45 years of independence.
What independence celebrations when one cannot even access something as basic as painkillers at such a major health institution?
That this comes shortly after the shameful images of patients, who were involved in an accident in Beitbridge, strapped in makeshift cardboard plaster, points to the gross ineptitude of a regime that splurges cash on top of the range vehicles for chiefs and regime fat cats and building airport VVIP pavilions at the expense of the health sector which is mired in the doldrums.
It is reflective of the impoverished levels of thinking in the regime that buys air ambulances but fails to procure basics such as bandages and painkillers.
Worse still it is tragic beyond measure that the befuddled health minister Douglas Mombeshora speaks of helipads at public hospitals when 300 babies and more than 50 babies recently lost their lives due to the disgraceful failure of the Scarfmore regime to provide adequately provide for the country’s public hospitals.
This is why most of the country’s citizens recoil in horror at the prospect of an added two years of such appallingly clueless leadership of Scarfmore.
Munopengaaa!!!
Reports that the visibly frail and ill Duggish is set to retire has surely had tongues wagging at who will replace him.
Some are pointing to the appointment of Valerio as Duggish’s replacement.
As for me, your good doctor, I do not give a flying toss who replaces Duggish as this will not improve the performance of this useless regime in any way, shape or form!!!
Munopengaaaaaaaaaa
Stop It!
Dr Amai Stop it! PhD (Fake
