The Crisis In Zimbabwe Cannot Be Solved Without A Revolution
Zanu PF has never served in the interest of the nation. You cannot keep marching to the ballot box every 5 years, expecting a different outcome. You are only ever going to extend the suffering.
The crisis in Zimbabwe today is not caused by foreign sanctions, opposition parties, or even historical colonial legacies ( they signed those slave agreements and maintained the slavery architecture), as the political leadership often claims. The truth is much simpler and more painful, the crisis is caused by a corrupt political and economic elite that has captured the state and used it for personal enrichment while the majority of the population suffers. The individuals who govern Zimbabwe today within or back by the military under the guise of liveration war credentials or relations to those credentials do not serve the public interest. They are self-interested power brokers who regard the state as a commercial enterprise rather than a duty to the citizenry. The deterioration of Zimbabwe’s institutions does not arise by chance; rather, it constitutes the outcome of intentional decisions taken by those occupying positions of authority.
For over two decades, Zimbabwe’s ruling class has maintained its grip through a combination of patronage, coercion, and manipulation of state resources. Public institutions, from local councils to ministries, have been hollowed out. The Reserve Bank has been turned into a tool for money printing and elite enrichment. Inflation should not be understood merely as a numerical indicator; it represents an ongoing process of economic expropriation. Whenever the Zimbabwean dollar is issued without adequate backing, the financial assets of ordinary citizens are effectively confiscated. Personal savings are systematically eroded, while wages lose their real value and fail to meet basic living costs. Pension schemes also collapse under these conditions, undermining the financial security of retirees. Conversely, those with political connections disproportionately benefit, as they maintain privileged access to foreign currencies, gold reserves, and offshore financial accounts. This phenomenon cannot be dismissed as poor governance; it constitutes a deliberate and organised form of plunder. Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso, alongside the leaders of Mali and Niger, have exemplified that genuine national transformation is achievable when leadership is rooted in the principles of popular sovereignty and committed to the emancipation of the people from colonial and imperial domination. Their example underscores that a nation’s progress is fundamentally driven by the will of its citizens to assert self-determination and achieve authentic liberation. Consequently, there exists no valid justification for Zanu PF to claim otherwise.
There is no functioning justice system in Zimbabwe. Corruption cases are not pursued unless they serve a political agenda. The police force does not serve to protect the general populace; rather, it functions to safeguard the interests of those who hold power. Elections are conducted not as genuine mechanisms for the transfer of authority but instead to perpetuate the illusion of democratic governance. The opposition is permitted to exist solely as a symbolic target for criticism and as a convenient scapegoat. Parliament does not serve as a forum for meaningful debate; instead, it operates as an institution where loyalty is rewarded and dissent is effectively suppressed through coercion or inducement.
The education system suffers from chronic underfunding, severely limiting its capacity to serve the population effectively. Hospitals consistently face shortages of essential supplies and equipment, compromising the quality of healthcare available. Infrastructure, including roads, is in a state of significant deterioration due to neglect and insufficient maintenance. Youth unemployment rates rank among the highest globally, reflecting systemic economic challenges. The large-scale emigration of young people is not indicative of a lack of patriotism; rather, it reflects their clear recognition that the current system fails to provide viable prospects for their future. What kind of country produces doctors who then have to go and wash dishes abroad to survive? What kind of leadership allows teachers to go months without pay? What kind of leadership flies in private jets while people are giving birth on clinic floors without electricity or clean water?
There is a growing class of politically protected businesspeople who win every government tender, dominate every sector, and face no scrutiny. They work hand-in-hand with ministers, senior bureaucrats, and even military officers to control mining contracts, fuel deals, and infrastructure projects. The profits generated do not contribute to the national development; instead, they are rapidly transferred to offshore accounts. Consequently, the country loses control over its valuable resources, such as gold, lithium, and land, not to foreign invaders, but through the actions of its own domestic elite. Zimbabwe is being sold from the inside.
What Zimbabwe requires is not superficial reform or mere rebranding efforts; rather, it necessitates a comprehensive national rescue strategy. The solution does not lie in empty slogans ( “pamberi ne this, pamberi nauyu, pasi neuyo, pasi nemhandu”, and the one shouting the slogan is the “mhandu”, the real enemy of the people), bureaucratic commissions, or interminable dialogues, but in decisive and substantive action. The borrowed or inherited system by which Zimbabwe operates on cannot be reformed, Zanu PF cannot be reformed, the opposition cannot be reformed, as well as the civic society. Zimbabwe needs another grassroots revolution, carried out by people who have learn lessons from the misadventure of the past 45 years, people who are not interested in staying in power for life but in rebuilding the state so that it can serve the people again. There must be a return to accountability, to professional standards in public service, to planning based on evidence, not political survival. Corruption must be addressed beyond perfunctory condemnation, through the consistent application of strict legal consequences, including prosecution, conviction, and the full recovery of unlawfully acquired assets. The Chinese model, particularly its uncompromising use of capital punishment for high-ranking officials found guilty of serious corruption, exemplifies a resolute and effective deterrent against the abuse of public office. In circumstances where systemic corruption has become entrenched within the political and administrative elite, only the most severe and publicly enforced penalties can re-establish the rule of law and restore public trust in the institutions of governance.
The people of Zimbabwe are not asking for miracles. They are asking for functioning schools, clinics with medicine, honest police, affordable transport, electricity that stays on, and a currency that holds value. They are not tired of politics. They are tired of politics that produces no solutions. They are tired of leaders who cannot tell the truth. They are tired of watching a few get richer while the rest are told to be patient.
If Zimbabwe is to survive and grow, leadership must change, root and branch. Not just the faces, but the mindset and the value system. The country needs men and women who see politics not as a career, but as a sacrifice. People who understand public duty, not private gain. Until that happens, the suffering will continue. Not because the country is poor, but because the people in charge have chosen personal power over national progress. This ED for 2030 is a sinister agenda associated with UN Agenda 2030 and The Great Reset, nothing to benefit the people but the globalists benefactors aligned with the World Economic Forum seeking to unleash a digital tyranny and total subservience.
Conflicts are erupting across the globe, from Europe to the Middle East, from Sudan to the Sahel, and the world is becoming increasingly unstable and unpredictable. The illusion that there will always be somewhere else to run, some other country to escape to, is fading fast. Borders are closing, economies are tightening, and hostility toward migrants is rising everywhere. For Zimbabweans, the harsh truth is becoming unavoidable: soon there will be nowhere left to go. The only option will be to face the enemy at home, the corrupt system, the captured state, and the elites who have sold out the nation. The fight for dignity, justice, and a future must happen here, because there will be no safety or freedom elsewhere.
Zanu PF has never served in the interest of the nation. This crisis in Zimbabwe cannot be solved without a revolution, not necessarily a violent one, but a total and uncompromising break from the current system of political and economic control. The country needs a total reset, that job falls on the youth of today to draw inspiration from the courage and convictions of previous generations, who stood against oppression in all its forms. The greatest betrayal now comes not just from foreign powers, but from those who share our totems, speak our languages, and bear our likeness, yet perpetuate systems of exploitation, repression, and decay. True liberation demands the moral clarity to confront injustice, even when it wears a familiar face.Incremental reforms, recycled politicians, and surface-level changes will not fix a state that has been deliberately dismantled to serve the few at the expense of the many. The institutions meant to protect the public have been weaponised against them, and the economy has been redesigned to extract wealth from the bottom to the top.
Real change will require the removal of those who benefit from this system and the dismantling of the networks that keep them in power. It will take a mass awakening, a national rejection of corruption, fear, and apathy, and the rise of new leadership grounded in service, not self-interest. Anything less than a revolution, in structure, in thinking, and in accountability, will only continue the cycle of suffering. You cannot keep marching to the ballot box every 5 years, expecting a different outcome. You are only ever going to extend the suffering.
I leave you with the greatest message of action, not hope, but bold action, from Captain Ibrahim Traore …
