“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities, but of their advantages”

― Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature & Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Vol 1

Zimbabwe has lost a staggering 500 plus lecturers from the nation’s twenty or so Colleges and Universities in the last 12 months alone. Education, health care and many, many other professions have all but collapsed due to the chronic shortage of qualified staff. The nation’s skilled workers have been leaving the country in droves for the last two decades – they are running away from slave wages and poor working conditions.

Selous University lecturers will not be amused with the 50% salary increase when the know inflation is 250% plus and certain to rise!

We live in a pariah state and, per se, are all forced to rely on the benevolence of a corrupt and ruthless tyrant and, to add insult to economic hardships, we have no democratic say in the matter. No wonder millions, who can, have voted with their feet. If SADC leaders make the mistake of giving vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy next year, even more Zimbabweans will be forced to leave the country in economic and political despair!
