MDC-T says ZANU-PF and corruption are like Siamese twins

One Cuthbert Dube literally brought down the PSMAS by, amongst other corrupt shenanigans, paying himself a staggering and obscene salary in the sum of  $500 000 per month for literally doing nothing. No punitive government action was taken against him except giving him a golden handshake!

Then followed the $15 billion dollars diamonds scandal. President Mugabe casually mentioned the issue and thundered from the podium that such corruption was amazing. The issue was to be investigated; a polite tactic to keep the public anger under control.

Minister Samuel Undenge entered the scene and blindly awarded a $500 million tender to one Wicknell Chivayo, a secondary school dropout from Cranborne Boys' High in Harare who was also an ex convict. The controversial man would splash resources and do nothing on the project. To cover his tracks, he would spoil Grace Mugabe and her children with restaurant meals and designer clothes. He would also do a publicity stunt by rescuing hunger fleeing ladies from Zimbabwe now in Kuwait in search of jobs and livelihood (thanks to the Zanu PF regime's ineptitude). Nothing happened to Samuel Undenge and he still walks free because he is one of the Zanu PF regime's wheeler dealers!

The maddening story goes on and on. Now Zimbabwe is on its knees. The country is now a fully-fledged banana republic as the nation awaits the introduction of bond notes (effectively Zimbabwe dollars by another name) within the next few months. This is the tragic story of Zimbabwe after 36 years of Zanu PF's ruinous and disastrous rule.
