Permanent Secretary in the Information Publicity & Broadcasting Services Ministry, Nick Mangwana has driven the people of Zimbabwe up the wall.
He shared the following post on his social media platform expressing excitement over the progress being made by the government of Zimbabwe to fix the country’s infrastructure.
Zimbabweans Cry Foul
I’m sure some people would have started to celebrate the progress or at least be hopeful that this means their own roads were next in line. Unfortunately, bubbles were burst when other twitter users immediately remembered coming across that same image on the internet.
The image is said to be of a road constructed by the government of South Sudan that was later stopped due to non-payment from the government.

Are We Being Taken For Fools?
We wonder what the motive behind Nick Mangwana’s using of images that are not even from the country to depict work that is supposedly taking place in Zimbabwe was. However, many have already concluded that this just shows the malintent and lies by the government and its representatives.
This gave rise to another issue. The buses. People are now wondering if that’s just another item on the list of “things that didn’t happen.”Are they just another set of downloaded images or are we being shown the same image over and over again?
Before we even get that far, is there even any work being done on the Zimbabwean roads seeing that we need images from other countries to depict the work being done?
