I wonder, how do people live in a country like Zimbabwe. No food, no water. When the basic requirement to live is not fulfilled how can people think of attending school or college. The administration is a total failure in Zimbabwe. Poor people, for how long do they have to suffer?

Will Zimbabweans ever come out of their troubles and lead a satisfactory life? What is Mugabe upto? Why can’t he take care of his people? How can a person be so cruel that makes people crave for the basic necessities of life i.e. water and food. He should be killed.

Dear Sanwali, yes a lot of people echo your sentiments and especially for those of us who witness some of the victims of atrocities being Zim’s closest neighbour.Zimbabwe urgently needs the rapid formation of a workable government. The regime has been in denial about what is happening in their country, and the region has not really wanted to know either.This is a general concern in Africa, leadership and hunger for power at the expense of innocent human lives.

Every time i read about the African nations, i really feel sorry about their condition. The poor quality of life in the countries like Zimbabwe makes me sad. United nation should take some strict actions against Mugabe who is knowingly killing his own men.

Dear Fabiola,

I agree with you.Zimbabwe’s economy basically rests on three pillars: commercial agriculture, tourism and mining.By seizing white-owned farms and handing them out to his cronies, without troubling to provide them with finance, farming equipment, training or even title deeds, Mr Mugabe wrecked commercial agriculture.By unleashing violence against his political opponents, he frightened away tourists. And by passing a law allowing the seizure of 51 per cent of their shares, he forced mining companies to abandon all exploration and investment.Zimbabwe’s economic collapse came solely as a result of government policy. The Reserve Bank simply prints money to keep Mugabe afloat.The new government, if it comes to power, needs to look at major restructuring.Outside donors, notably the British government and the World Bank, will have to provide the cash to restore Zimbabwe’s tattered infrastructure. The inexpressible tragedy is that even if all this takes place - and it could take years - Zimbabwe will only return to the position it enjoyed a decade ago as the Bread Basket of Africa.
