Letter to my people: Thousand reasons why 2030 is unthinkable

By Doctor Stop It | 21h ago

The ZiG was officially depreciated in September last year, less than six months after it had been launched

My Dear People

The widespread revulsion to the move by the ruining party Zanu PF to extend the rule of the hopelessly inept and probity deficient leadership of Scarfmore to 2030 is not at all surprising to me, your good doctor.

This is why I took time out of my busy schedule traipsing around the country warning you my dear people of the catastrophe that would befall this country if the Scarfed one was handed the reins of power.

Alas, my warnings fell on deaf ears as most of you danced and celebrated with reckless abandon when Scarfmore was catapulted into power on the back of guns and tanks and the wisdom imbued Gushungo was scandalously removed during that dark year of 2017.

But even I could not have fathomed just how disastrous Scarfmore’s leadership would be as he has stumbled from one calamity to another.

I will in this edition look at why the prospect of another two years of Scarfmore leadership is met with such repugnance by the majority of the country’s citizens.

Munopenga!!!

Nowhere has the incompetent leadership of Scarfmore and his dispensation of poverty, darkness and confusion been more exposed as the cataclysmic failure on the economic front.

In 2019 the Scarfed One’s lack of foresight or wisdom for that matter was laid bare when his regime decided to scrap the multi-currency regime and mandate that the Zimbabwe dollar be the sole legal tender without putting in place the necessary benchmarks for its stability.

As a result of this harebrained decision, inflation soared to over 800% severely eroding incomes and savings and entrenching poverty among the country’s citizens.

The regime then sheepishly reversed this foolhardy decision in less than a year by reintroducing the multicurrency under the guise of ameliorating the harsh economic conditions brought about by Covid-19.

The Zimbabwe dollar, however, never regained any stability as it continued to lose value at an alarming rate to the extent of forcing the Scarfmore regime to pay a portion of its workers’ salaries as well as bonuses in the greenback which they had initially scrapped.

So embarrassing was the levels of inflation that Finance minister Mthuli Ncube actually ordered the banning of the revelation of inflation figures before coming up with what he called blended inflation of both the local unit and the greenback.

The regime has since come up with a calculation formula of inflation that is seen by many as a way to hide the true horror of the country’s inflation levels.

The Zimbabwe dollar under the so-called Second Repubric lost so much value that its highest denomination of ZW$100 was not enough to buy a sweet.

This forced the Scarfed One to scrap the Zimbabwe dollar and come up with a new currency namely the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG).

The ZiG, we were told, was backed by tonnes of gold and millions of dollars in forex.

However this would be exposed for the hogwash it was as the new funny money rapidly depreciated in value as the global price of gold which backed it skyrocketed.

The funny money was officially depreciated in September last year, less than six months after it had been launched, by an astounding 43% further impoverishing the country’s citizens.

This funny money which has been touted as the benchmark of the country’s sovereignty by Scarfmore cannot be used to buy a drop of fuel and neither can it secure a passport.

The desperation to stabilise these failed currencies by Scarfmore and co have included unleashing, gestapo style, police on moneychangers, suspending trading on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange and more ridiculously banning banks from its core business of lending which brought about unprecedented market chaos.

The thumb suck exchange rate by the regime has resulted in implosion of the retail sector with shops closing and scores of workers losing their jobs making a mockery of the Scarfed One’s slogan that Zimbabwe is open for business.

Munopengaaa!!!

Repression under the Scarfmore regime has gone into overdrive with members of the opposition and civil activists tortured, jailed for prolonged periods without any bail or even abducted.

Demonstrations which were allowed under Gushungo, within reason of course, have been literally banned under Scarfmore to the extent that some have been apprehended over laws that do not even exist.

Dozens of the country’s citizens have been shot dead by the country’s security forces and calls to investigate them or to compensate those affected have fallen on deaf ears.

Among those who have been ignored are a commission headed by former South African president Kgalema Motlanthe which recommended that soldiers, who killed citizens on August 1 2018 in the aftermath of harmonized elections be brought to book.

Munopengaaa!!!!

The failure by Scarfmore to adhere to the constitution is a damning indictment of his law degree.

The appointment of non-legislators which is in excess of those permitted by the constitution and the attempt to smuggle the country’s army commander Valerio Sibanda despite it being unconstitutional , which he has been forced to reverse,has been baffling for a self-proclaimed “Constitutionalist”

Munopengaaa!!

The Scarfed One’s shipwreck of his term of office has also had its hugely embarrassing and comical moments.

The rush to congratulate Mozambican President Daniel Chapo for winning that country’s election before the results were even announced was a source of much mirth locally and regionally.

The recent hosting of former Chikurubi inmate Maxwell Chikumbutso by the Scarfed One at State House over an invention that has since been exposed as a dud has been the stuff of comedy.

This is why there is such an uproar, even among war veterans, over Scarfmore staying a minute longer than 2028.

Munopengaaaaaaaaaa
