There is no functional 'government' in Zimbabwe, practically speaking. One day one Minister Dokora unlawfully scraps teachers' leave, the following day he bans Scripture Union, the next day he introduces the national pledge... while another Minister Bimha digs deep into the archives of the late Ian Smith's Rhodesian government's laws of 1974 (SI 64 of 2016) and bans importation of all basic goods causing mayhem at Beitbridge border post. 

The Reserve Bank Governor, Mangudya, comes up with the controversial idea of bond notes while the Finance Minister Chinamasa 
 has no clue where the salaries of the civil servants will come from hence government decides to create a new calendar and pay the civil servants on the "40th and 55th" of the month. A superfluous Vice President, one Mphoko, stays in a five star hotel for two years at a time when civil servants are struggling to put three square meals on the table. 

The President makes endless international flights which yield no returns to the country, instead draining the national fiscus. Ministers are caught up in shady deals and build castles and palaces but go on to destroy houses built by the hard working and suffering citizens, amidst a housing crisis. The people who are supposed to lead the government got lost long ago and do not have any idea of where the country is by now. 

The leadership is not in touch with reality. Meanwhile, a rabidly brutal and undisciplined uniformed force is brutalizing peaceful activists trying to rescue our common future. Drastic action is needed to shake them from their hallucinations and send a message that they can no longer abuse the people of this nation, and indeed there is a long list of consequences they will face. # strugglecontinues aluta a continua
