Beitbridge Chaos Exposes Zim Govt' Grand Incompetence - Chin'ono
Investigative journalist Hopewell Chin’ono suggests that a statement attributed to South African Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi shows that Zimbabwe’s neighbour has become exasperated by Harare’s failure to deal with its economic challenges.
SAfm on Wednesday reported Motsoaledi saying South Africa had rejected an offer from Zimbabwe to deal with congestion on the South African side of the Beitbridge Border Post, instead, telling Harare to deal with its economic challenges.
In a Facebook post, Chin’ono opined that Zimbabwe’s economic challenges were authored by the looting of public funds, the plunder of the nation’s natural resources and the grand incompetence of the ZANU PF-led government. Wrote Chin’ono:
IF Zimbabwe’s economy was working as it should, there wouldn’t be these huge queues because Zimbabweans in South Africa would be living and working in Zimbabwe, and Zimbabwe would not be importing everything down to toothpicks, hence these long truck queues.
Note that there are no queues of trucks going to South Africa from Zimbabwe packed with Zimbabwean goods.

It means Zimbabwe is exporting nothing of significance to South Africa, and there are no South Africans living and working in Zimbabwe because South Africa’s economy is working.
So no queues of South Africans stuck at Beitbridge going home. So let us fix our economy in Zimbabwe folks.
The regime folks will say; “…it is not true, there are also truck queues going to South Africa. When trucks bring things into Zimbabwe because it imports everything right down to tissue paper. Those trucks have to go back to South Africa after delivering goods. Isn’t it?”
They are not carrying goods from Zimbabwe’s factories, and as I said, there are no queues of South Africans going back home!
This painful truth by the South African government is irritating Mnangagwa’s propagandists.
Instead of getting into defence mode, they should ask why they are being told this openly and publicly and fix the issues.
All these problems are authored by the looting of public funds, the plunder of the nation’s natural resources and the grand incompetence in Mnangagwa’s regime!
If Mnangagwa and his regime had implemented reforms, the investment would be coming to Zimbabwe from both locals and foreigners and factories would be working.
We wouldn’t need to import tissue papers and toothpicks or onions. Our people would be working here in Zimbabwe and only going to SA on holiday on the beaches!
If there was no looting, we would be building infrastructure that would allow investors to come.
Who would invest in a country with so many power cuts due to underinvestment in electricity generation due to theft of public funds?
