My Zimbabwe
I come from a country that used to be the breadbasket of Africa, a country that declared education to be a basic human right. Zimbabwe's education system was once the most developed in the entire continent. Fact: the quality of life of the majority of Zimbabweans downright plummeted because of our beloved president, he used to be for the good of the people. Don't get me wrong, I may be young but I know a lot of people benefited at some point from some of his policies so I will not go on a man hating rant about him. I am just going to point out some major blind spots.
Businesses closed at a rate of knots the last couple f years and as the infrastructure continues to deteriorate, jobs, food and services are becoming hard to find. People lost their homes, their jobs and some kids don't even go to school anymore. I mean hey, I remember when a hundred trillion dollars used to be a lot of money.
We are not the Zimbabwe we used to be and it breaks my heart. It's not going to be easy but I truly believe one day Zimbabwe will regain it's place.
