Zimbabwe has the highest food price inflation in the world, according to the World Bank. The country even surpasses Syria, Venezuela, North Korea, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Palestine. This terrible situation is the result of the ruling ZANU PF party, which is accused of corruption, looting, and neglecting the welfare of the people.
ZANU PF is described as vile, illegitimate, parasitic, tyrannical, and criminal. The party has been trying to establish a one-party state, despite its failure to govern effectively. Its illegitimacy has caused state paralysis, leading to the current economic disaster.
The party’s efforts to steal another election are seen as an attempt to maintain power, even as the state continues to fail. This situation ensures that Zimbabwe keeps its top ranking in food price inflation. The welfare of the people is ignored, and the country’s resources are looted.
Programs like command agriculture and Pfumvudza, meant to improve food production, have failed spectacularly. These programs were supposed to help the people, but under ZANU PF, they have only worsened the situation.
During the short period of a government of national unity, when the opposition was part of the government, Zimbabwe did not have the highest food price inflation in the world. The opposition is described as legitimate, resilient, innovative, transparent, accountable, and responsible. They showed they cared about the welfare of the people, unlike ZANU PF.
The opposition’s participation in the government brought about a short recovery from the state paralysis. Food and services were more accessible to everyone. This shows the difference good governance can make.
Now, the people of Zimbabwe have a clear choice. They can either succumb to voter apathy, be coerced into voting for ZANU PF, or sell their votes for little in return. Or they can vote for the legitimate opposition, which has proven its dedication to the people’s welfare.
ZANU PF is accused of trying to decimate the opposition, but these attempts are failing. The opposition remains the only hope for a better future for Zimbabwe. The choice is simple: continue with the failed policies of ZANU PF, or vote for a party that has shown it can bring positive change.
The people must remember the brief period of better governance under the national unity government. It is a reminder of what is possible with good leadership. The opposition has demonstrated that they are capable of governing well and addressing the needs of the people.
In conclusion, Zimbabwe’s current state of highest food price inflation is a direct result of ZANU PF’s corrupt and negligent governance. The people have the power to change their fate by voting for a responsible and caring opposition. This choice can lead to a better future for everyone in Zimbabwe.
