The whole Mbuya Nehanda Hospital visit was a photo opportunity and gimmick. He admitted the hospital was filthy dirty and the primary reason for the visit was to clean the hospital. In a country with 90% unemployed surely there will millions who would happily be employed to clean the hospitals, streets, schools, etc. The reason why there are no cleaners is simple, no one would work for the slave wages they are offered.
If Junior Doctors are paid a misery 385 Bond Notes or US$129 per month the cleaners will be lucky to get 1/4 of that. It costs US$1.50 to go to work and US$1.50 return and so the monthly wage is not even enough to pay for transport alone let alone other necessities.
In the interview Mnangagwa was not even phased that the hospital was in such a deplorable state. Indeed, he even made a joke about how the officials had shown him the good bits and left out the really bad bits. To the millions of ordinary Zimbabweans who depend on the public health the collapsed heath care services is now a matter of life and death. To Mnangagwa it is a matter to joke about. He is not in any hurry to fix anything.
Getting Mnangagwa to acknowledge that our public health service has all but collapse was all the nation will ever get out of this regime. As for fixing it, the regime is convinced that it alone is capable of doing that and hence the reason it rigged the elections to make sure it remains in power regardless of the people's democratic wishes.
People should forget asking Mnangagwa when he is going to fix the economy, the health services, etc. and instead focus on the need to restore the people's freedoms and rights including the right to free, fair and credible elections.
The people have known for decades now that Zanu PF misrule was destroying the nation's economy but have been helpless to do anything to end the misrule because the party rigged elections. After 38 years of being helpless it is time to do something to end the helplessness. It is time to reclaim our freedoms and rights.
People can force the regime to step down if they focused on that task. If Zanu PF remain in power until 2023 then the party will rig those elections and extend its stay in power another five years. If that happened, we the people will have only ourselves to blame for it!
