Mashoko aya anga achikatyamadza svondo rino mukuburitsa kwaakaita hupenyu hwemuZimbabwe. Pekutanga tinonzwa kuti chirwere chekorera chiri kuramba chichiwedzera. Uyezve Robert Mugabe anoti iri pasi pesimba uye kuti hapana denda. Ikozvino taudzwa nemumwe weMinister wake kuti Mugabe aingoita "sarcastic" uye rimwe gurukota rakazivisa kuti zvakakonzerwa ne "biological warfare" neBritain. Pamwe vamwe vanhu vanonyatsotenda izvi - ndinoshamisika kana vaizozvitendawo kana mutauriri akazivisa cholera iri kuparadzirwa nevatorwa vebhuruu kubva kupasi Zog uye yanga isiri mhosva yehurumende neimwe nzira. Nemamwe mashoko, VaMugabe vane hungwaru zvekuti mabudiro ari kubuda kwavari nehurumende yavo svondo rino pamusoro pechirwere chekorera anoita seanovhiringa.
Ndangogara muHarare kwemavhiki akati kuti, ndinonyatsotaura kuti hupenyu hweikoko hwakashata. Vanhu vanoratidzika kunge vari kuita zvakanaka ndevakuru vakuru vehurumende vanofamba nemotokari hombe vachirarama upenyu hweumbozha. Dzimba huru dziri kuvakwa munzvimbo dzakasarudzika. Asi, taundi racho rine tsvina. Mune dzimwe nzvimbo unogona kunzwa kunhuwa kwetsvina inoyerera parutivi pemugwagwa. Mvura ishoma uye dzimwe dzimba dzave nemwedzi yakawanda dzisina mvura. Magetsi ari kudzima kudarika kubatidzwa.
Kune vanhu vakagara padivi pemigwagwa vachitengesa chero chavanokwanisa – madomasi kana hanyanisi shoma, huni, mazai. Vana vane mamvemve uye vanenge vaine nzara. Mapaki nemapindu akaisvonaka akakura zvose. Maraiti emumugwagwa ari kudonha nemakona; marobhoti kazhinji haashande.
Harare yainge yatooma; kwete mvura zhinji. Sezvo mvura yanaya tinotarisira kuti korera (ndine hurombo – iyo isipo) ichawedzera nekukasika. Hongu, korera iri kubata vanhu vanotambura mumataundishipi emuHarare. Zvipatara hazvina mishonga, zvekuti kunyange korera iri nyore kurapa, vanhu vari kufa.
Hatina kumboenda kuzvitoro nekuti kwave nehurongwa hutsva. Vamwe vanhu vakaisa zvitoro mudzimba dzavo. Vanouya nezvinhu kubva kuSouth Africa vachizvitengesa kubva kumba. Kana veRevenue Authority vakavabata vanenge vopinda munyatwa. Asi vanochengeta magedhi avo akakiiwa uye vanongopinza vanhu vavanoziva. Hongu, kutengeswa kwese uku kuri kuUS dollars nekuti maZim dollars haatambirwe nemunhu uye haachashandiswi. Iko hakuna kukwana kwayo uye inflation inoreva kuti inorasikirwa nehafu yekukosha kwayo zuva rega rega. Mafuta aiwanikwa mumigove mishoma. Mamwe magaraji epeturu ave kutengesa pachena nemadhora ekuAmerica.
Kutyaira nemuZimbabwe kune zvishoma kurima kuri kuitika. Hurumende yave kupa matarakita matsva kune vashoma vayo vanoifarira uye ndinoudzwa kuti iri kupa mbeu, fetereza nemafuta edzimotokari. Zvizhinji zvekushandisa zviri kutengeswa mumadhorobha kuitira kuti “varimi” vawane pundutso nekukurumidza. Zvichida vane nzara yokumirira kuti zvirimwa zvikure, kana kuti zvimwe vakapfuma zvokuti havafaniri kudyara. Takaona matarakita mashoma achirima uye … tirakita imwe ichishanda … setekisi. Asi, kunyanya, mazhinji emapurazi aimbove achibereka zvakanyanya akakura uye kudzokera kumakwenzi.
Pamarodhibhuroku pamaguta ese munzira. Kazhinji pane mapurisa anenge mana pane imwe neimwe. Ndinofunga takapfuura nemumaroadblocks 12-15 kubva kuHarare kuenda kuVic Falls - vaviri vakaparadzana mazana mashoma emamita - mumwe nemumwe achida kuongorora magwaro mamwechete nekubvunza mibvunzo yakafanana. Kamwe chete ndipo patakasangana nomumwe mupurisa aiva nehuturu asi, sezvo mapepa ose emotokari akanga akarongeka, pakanga pasina zvaaigona kuita.
Ndiyo nyaya yangu yekuZim. Zvinondisuwisa zvikuru. Uye izvi zvese zvakaitika muzita re "one-man-one-vote." Ndinofunga kuti kana tikabvunza vanhu vakarasikirwa nemabasa; vari kufa nenzara; vanorwara, zvavanofunga nezvekukwanisa kuvhota, havangaite hany'a. Uye, chero vanhu vanofunga nezveRhodesia yekare, nyika yakashanda; vanhu vaipiwa zvokudya, vakadzidza uye vakachengetwa. Tinofanirwa kunyara kuti nyaya iyi yaitika muZimbabwe, kunyanya iko zvino hapana zvatingaite. Tinogona chete kutarisa uye kuchema. Pamwe zvichachinja rimwe zuva.
