According to a WHO, Zimbabwean women are in the top six of Africa’s heavy drinkers. Perhaps the women – burdened by carrying firewood in a Zesa-less Zimbabwe and weighted down by the daily struggle of survival with husbands toiling in foreign lands – have been driven to drink by the political circus of MDC and the ineptitude of Zanu (PF).
It is clear that the government which is – as Freshly Ground put it – ‘too chicken for change’ is bereft of solutions. At a time when the opposition should unite to rescue the country, their egos have prevented the formation of the much touted grand coalition. The bemused and frustrated citizenry weakly asks – todii, what shall we do?
