        Stop blaming your leaders, the are been control by outside forces because they borrowed money all the time even to buy toilet roll. Unless and until he learn to work hard and use the God given minerals to obtain whatever he want to run the affairs of the Country, struggles stays

        Blame the outside forces, they are mightier than did you but know. Who determined the price of your Country minerals? African leaders will have to go back to history if they are to serve their people. It is very simple, but don't blame them because nobody wants to start anew.

        So u want me to believe that sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by US & other countries are the ones sorely responsible for our poverty?? We used to have money in our local banks with stable & reasonable prices of products in our shops but now all is gone.u want me blame America?

        what do you think brother? That's why I said earlier on that we have to start anew. African leaders must learn how to trade with each others. How do we learn how trade amongst ourselves? They should put more resources into agricultural produce, grow them in abundance

        If you have manual work, you have job. Stop thinking to immigrate to Europe for better job. Don’t be misled by BBC propaganda

        This shows the failure of the #Zimbabwean education system a remnant of British colonial education teaching young people to focus on jobs instead of entrepreneurship. In #USA in the Midwest where there are fewer big companies there are more entrepreneurs. Learn from the best!
