Of late we have been waking up to stunning revelations of corruption involving billions of dollars and surprisingly there is no will to act on this vice by President Mugabe and his government.

If as Zimbabweans we continue to let our guard down, ZANU PF will continue to take this country on a downward slope.” By Stephen Jakes
