Amidst the economic hardships in the country, a small percentage is still able to afford the finer things in life. That generally distresses those that are struggling to make ends meet as was shown by the issues of the rents being paid by the rich of Zimbabwe. It further infuriates them when those in power splurge on such luxuries.

This was the case when one of Mnangagwa’s twin sons, Sean was seen driving an expensive Rolls Royce. Pictures were shared of him collecting the vehicle at Boka Tobacco Auctions. The vehicle is said to have costed US$360 000 and ended up reaching US$500 000 as a result of duty costs.

However, an associate of Sean’s insisted that the vehicle did not belong to Sean. He continued saying it was the property of gold dealer Pedzai ‘Scott’ Sakupwanya. However, if this is indeed the case, its not clear why the President’s son had gone to collect the vehicle on Scott’s behalf.

Of course, people still highly suspect that the vehicle is indeed Sean Mnangagwa’s. The resentment still exists because official’s and their offspring are living the “soft life” while the rest of the nation suffers. This is because such persons are accused of using corrupt means that affect the lives of honest hardworking citizens to gain those luxuries.

This situation is a very different case from that of celebrated footballer Nakamba’s Lamborghini purchase as people respect his hardwork.

Sean and his twin brother have previously been linked to tender corruption in the procurement of medical supplies. Their move is said to have lead to the arrest and removal of former health minister and “ghetto buddie” Shashl’s dad, Obadiah Moyo,

No wonder people would be so infuriated by such a purchase.

The United Nations offered protective measures aimed at safeguarding vulnerable populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. On Tuesday, 115 nations are said to have voted for the implementation of these provision. These nations include South Africa and Botswana.

However, it didn’t come as much of a surprise when countries notorious for such crimes voted against this United Nations measure. These countries include North Korea, Russia, China, Burundi, and Eritrea. These countries refused to vote for the resolution as they would then be answerable to the UN for any failure to protect their populous from the war induced atrocities, genocides and infringements on human rights. The aforementioned countries have been involved in atrocities against their own people and evidently would not like to be held responsible for that.

Zimbabwe has also refuted the UN resolution and apparently political analysts are not staggered by this move. The UN has placed Zimbabwe in 4th position on their list of notorious countries.

As mentioned before, this isn’t the first time Zimbabwe has been included in a list with some of the countries in the above list. View the Forbes list here.

However, perhaps we can still look on the bright side. The President stated that the country is on its way to becoming the bread basket of Africa once again. View the reasons for that notion in this article.

This is what he had to say;

In 2017, 5% of stock in Zimbabwe’s supermarkets was locally manufactured.

Today, 45% of our supermarket supplies are proudly made in Zimbabwe.

The worst of our economic woes are now behind us.

Zimbabwe shall rise once again!

Not sure were these figures are being taken from but on the ground the consumer food basket and utilities  is increasing.

Most service providers are hiking prices but salaries have remained stagnant.

NetOne and Econet have just recently increased process for their internet.
