Oh, the joys of leadership, where the buck stops… well, apparently not here!

As Zimbabweans, we gather every year on the 18th of April to mark our Independence Day. This year, we hit a somber milestone: 44 years since we broke free from colonial rule. But the freedom we celebrate is tainted by the reality of our lives under an oppressive regime.
In recent years, Zimbabwe has witnessed a rather alarming phenomenon: the emergence of what can only be described as “gospel-preneurs.” These are individuals who have cunningly crafted churches with the sole purpose of robbing the hard-earned cash from the pockets of the poor.

As an ordinary Zimbabwean citizen, I find myself once again standing on the aftermath of another election. It is a time after we were supposed to freely exercise our democratic right to choose our leaders, a fleeting moment when our voices were meant to matter. However, in the land once known as the Jewel of Africa, this concept has become nothing more than a cruel joke. The ruling party, the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU PF), has clung to power for decades, suffocating our dreams of a better future. And with just barely a month after elections, the grip of ZANU PF’s tyranny tightens further.
