Zimbos mocking Zambia

Zimbos mocking us!

Zimbabwe has been under international sanctions for 20 years and despite this harsh economic isolation and the tecent severe drought, continues to register economic growth and its GDP has just overtaken Zambia.

In Zambia we have power cuts, water cuts, fuel shortage, a population facing hunger, and a severe cost of living crisis.

We have never been to war, and we have never suffered sanctions yet suffer outcomes of the same.

Stanbic economica analysis report has disclosed that the pirvate sector continues to suffer rapid decline the last four years..

No wonder Zimbabweans are taking turns laughing at us, because four years ago, Zambians elected President Hichilema who touted himself as an economic manager.

It probably reminds them of an economic astute banker and qualified Gideon Gono the former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, serving from 2003 to 2013, who sunk their currency from $1- Zim 1 trillion!

Why are Zimbabweans obsessed with our country, Zambia? Zambians don’t comment on their issues which by the wat are many but Zambians leave it to Zimbabweans to deal with them but why do Zimbabweans want to comment on ours? And talking about economic growth, Mr. Mwamba deliberately forgets to mention that his PF government left the growth in negative but the country is now having positive growth and is even projected to grow by over 6.6% in 2025 if all go according to plan so using this metric, which government is better? To make matters worse, the problems we are facing today were created by his PF government for which we are just reaping the outcomes of their bad governance like unsustainable national debt burden they left which the country is still grappling with and on top of they left debts with fuel suppliers and electricity suppliers. Had they not left a severely damanged economy, most of the challenges we are currently facing as a country would not have been there so Mr. Mwamba please have some shame.

Emmanuel Mwamba is indeed a shameless character. He is the type of a foolish child that teams up with a malicious, jealous and bitter neighbor to malign his father over challenges they face in their home. What a shame he is to our beautiful Zambia.

It is shocking that Mr. Mwamba can gloat over the falsehoods from a Zimbabwean minister. The Zimbwean currency has all but collapsed even the ZIG is dead. They use the dollar as their currency and their inflation (58% against Zambia’s 15%) has gone through the roof.

The fact is the Zanu PF government feel threatened by the three peaceful changes of government that have taken place over the last 60 years of Zambia’s existence. For them to change government, it had to be through a coup.

Mr. Mwamba should take a walk to the intercity bus station and see just how many Zimbabweans flock to Zambia to buy all sorts of merchandise for resale in Zimbabwe.

The Zim minister should worry about putting out the fire that is raging in his house instead of worrying about a little smoke coming from the neighbour’s house.

Well put, Zimbabwe has far more bigger problems than Zambia and the chalenges we have in Zambia will soon be a thing of the past if by God’s grace we have good rains this coming season and things like loadshedding and drought induced poor harvest will be no more but that can’t be said about the problems facing Zimbabwe. Also, I think Mr. Mwamba is a sadist who enjoys and longs to see Zambia go through pain for him to have something to smile about which is really sad for person who claims to be a leader.
