"Zimbabwe's 95% Literacy Rate Is Meaningless Given The State Of Affairs"
Nehanda Radio columnist, Patrick Guramatunhu, has said that the 95% literacy rate in Zimbabwe is meaningless if one is to consider the current state of affairs.
Guramatunhu observed that the ability to read or write was not being translated into solutions needed for contemporary problems.
The analyst was commenting on the legacy left behind by Zimbabwe’s founding leader, Robert Mugabe who passed on on the 6th of this month in Singapore.
He asserted that whilst Mugabe was being revered for boosting the education sector in the country, the same education is not helping the poor nation.
Guramatunhu added that Mugabe presided over a corrupt government that literally erased the gains of independence to the extent that even education was now meaningless in the country. He added:

The country was once the breadbasket of the region and under Mugabe it became the basket case of a failed state. Zimbabweans are starving in a land that is for all practical purposes the Garden of Eden.
Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs’ greed for political power, wealth and good living was insatiable. Mugabe’s wealth is estimated in billions of US dollars and include 13 farms in Zimbabwe; mansions in SA, Hong Kong, Singapore and Zimbabwe; a castle in UK; cars; cash; etc.
He also quotes economist and former MDC legislator, Eddie Cross who argued that Mugabe had left the country in a parlous state.
Cross said that the former ZANU PF leader had left unsustainable debts added with isolation from the international community.
