Speeding up the process of our own demise
The hardest part of the current looting spree is to see people dashing off to buy tv’s, cheap toilet paper etc and not stopping to think of the implications. A friend who owns a butchery was taken to task by someone he knows well over why he didn’t phone to tell her the meat was going cheap. Should he speed the process of his own demise?
I do understand that an impoverished mother of five will race to the shops to buy a little meat, probably not having had any at all for months.
I do understand that this mother thinks only of survival, bound in the moment and incapable of thinking about tomorrow.
However, I have seen people pulling up at electrical shops in new mercs, loading the car with looted booty, tvs, toasters etc.
The insanity that is plaguing our streets is yet another sure sign of the divide and rule tactic so successfully employed by the zanu regime to turn brother against brother, child against parent.
Once again the dictator has removed blame from his doorstep, making the honest businessperson the victim and the supposed evil force working with the opposition and western forces to topple his power base.

I cannot see why so many people can be fooled all of the time, or are they just scared. If so why? All it takes is planning and sabotage and Mugabe is history.

All is takes is for someone to actually do what you suggest. Are you that person?
