        KFC is not the only establishment that has been closed. Many other businesses in sectors spanning from commercial to informal enterprise have been victims as well. The unemployment figure of 80% is very much conservative at best. The problem is political period!!!

        The elections were heavily rigged but those who rigged the elections are now failing to also rig the economy. #riggingdoesnotpay

        Looks like change of leadership is not really change of strategy. It's just someone else's turn to eat now.

        Who needs KFC? We have other local fast food chains that are open for business.

        That's what happens when you conduct fraudulent elections and spread propaganda but markets are moved by transparency and democracy and rule of lawhttps://twitter.com/PacheduZW/status/1050051549148454912?s=19 …

        "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" - If KFC has closed, then 'let them have cake' - (Queen?) Marie Antoinette. This is the sad turn of events when leaders, once again turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people. HEARTBREAKING but then again, does experience count??pic.twitter.com/chQwHKh8W1
