Zimbabwe’s ruling party, Zanu PF, has been struggling with the country’s economic problems. Their policies have not worked and have many issues. Even though they try to solve the economic troubles by changing small money notes to bigger ones, this does not fix the real problems. It is like trying to make a dead donkey move – it does not work.
Zanu PF does not understand the real issues well and cannot give a good answer to the crisis. They do not have the political will to make the changes needed to stabilize and revive the economy. Instead, they choose quick fixes that only help them stay in power and get richer, leaving the people to suffer the consequences.
The party says agriculture is the main part of the economy, but this idea is not helping. Depending too much on farming makes the country weak against changes and outside problems. Without industrializing and modernizing, the country cannot diversify its economy, which leads to more unemployment. The informal market grows while the formal sector fails, showing that big changes are urgently needed.
Changing small notes to bigger ones shows deeper problems like bad financial policies and budget deficits. Zanu PF’s way of controlling exchange rates helps people with political connections, causing corruption. This misuse of resources for the black market makes the economic situation worse and increases suffering.
To really solve Zimbabwe’s economic problems, Zanu PF must start serious reforms. These changes should focus on law, accountability, and transparency, helping to build a stable and formal economy. A strong middle class, informed and free from the ruling party’s control, will help the country develop.
But Zanu PF is afraid to make these changes because they fear losing power and facing punishment for past mistakes. So, they keep replacing small notes with larger ones, which is just a desperate way to buy time. The time will come when they have to face the results of their actions, and only true reforms can fix Zimbabwe’s economic problems for good.
Zanu PF’s current plan of changing small notes to bigger ones shows their failure to deal with the real causes of the economic crisis. Real changes, not quick fixes, are needed to help Zimbabwe reach its full potential. Only by making these real changes can the country hope for a better and more prosperous future.
