Zimbabweans Choking Under Unjustified Levies

Zimbabweans Choking Under Unjustified Levies

THE spat of levies being introduced by government, the latest of which is the recent gazetting of a farm levy on A1 and A2 resettled farmers, is a sign of bankruptcy, lack of foresight and planning that reigns supreme in the Zanu PF government.   It is ironic that Zanu PF is only finding it necessary now to tax these farmers, after all these years of parceling out land to buy their votes and in…

‘Zimbabwe’s Education System Is A Deadly Human Conveyor Belt Into An Ailing Economy’

AS an educationist with extensive teaching experience at university level, I feel particularly saddened that the young people who are graduating in their thousands every year from all manner of colleges in the country are unable to obtain formal employment through which they can put their skills to use in assisting with the development of the country.
