"zimbabwe's walking sick" says Ncube - it is the mental illness that is killing the nation!

Zimbabwe is blessed beyond measure in having rich soils plenty rain and sun shine, rich flora and fauna and vast quantities of diamonds, gold and other minerals; the nation rightly deserve to be called the Garden of Eden. But instead of the nation living in freedom, peace and prosperity millions are starving, living in abject poverty under a corrupt and tyrannical dictatorship. Why?

 

Because Zimbabwe is cursed in having some of the most corrupt and incompetent leaders in the whole world. When other nations have made the desert bloom, testimonial of their ingenuity and you are starving in the Garden of Eden that is the greatest testimonial of your breath-taking idiotic incompetency.

 

People get the government they deserve and, like it or not, we have the breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent Zanu PF and the equally corrupt and incompetent MDC opposition in all their multiple factions.

 

In his weekly prattle Professor Welshmen Ncube wrote of “Zimbabwe’s walking sick!”

 

“One of the most basic human needs is to be in good health,” wrote Ncube. “Poor health inevitably leads to death. Thus one of the primary functions of any government must be to secure the health of its citizens.

 

“This is why among our national objectives the constitution obligates the state to take all practical measures to ensure the provision of "basic accessible and adequate health services throughout Zimbabwe" and the Bill of Rights declares that every citizen has the "right to have access to basic health -care services, including reproductive health care services" and that none shall be "refused emergency medical treatment in any health -care institution".

 

He was talking of physical health but it is the mental sickness of the nation, especially of its leaders like him that he should have been concerned about. Mugabe’s physical health is certainly taken good care of; he is off to Singapore at the drop of a hat, in 2012 he went there no fewer than 12 times at the cost of $ 3 million a trip.

 

Mugabe and Zanu PF are failing to fulfil the constitution obligation of providing “basic and adequate health service” to the overwhelming majority of Zimbabweans but the same cannot be said about the top-draw, no-expense spare health service the regime is providing for Mugabe, his wife and children and the few select ruling elite.

 

What matters here is that Mugabe’s “fit as a fiddle” health provisions has not cure him of his mental sickness which landed us in this mess where the nation is starving in the Garden of Eden because he and his fellow Zanu PF and MDC leaders breathtakingly corrupt and incompetency.

 

Only a breathtakingly incompetent leader like Ncube would waste time demanding that the regime must provide basic health service knowing fully well that the nation is broke because of the 35 years of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption. Surely we should focus on implementing the democratic reforms necessary for free, fair and credible elections; without such elections we will never cure ourselves of breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent leaders ruling and ruining our lives.

MDC had the golden opportunity to implement the reforms during the GNU and thus end the Zanu PF dictatorship once and once for all. Professor Ncube and his fellow MDC friend sold out and failed to get even one reform implemented.

 

Now the idiotic Professor is wasting our time reminding us that Zanu PF has a constitution obligation to ensure we are fed when he failed to ensure that the Garden of Eden remained in the hands of those who can farm. We are starving in the Garden of Eden but it is futile to witter on and on about our right to food when nothing was harvested.
