In a glaring spectacle of deceit, the introduction of the so-called gold coins scam by the nefarious ZANU PF sheds light on the relentless plunder and looting overseen by this illegitimate entity. The alleged stabilisation of the exchange rate, as touted by ZANU PF’s minions, merely serves as a smokescreen to extend their unconstitutional reign, further entrenching their access to Zimbabwe’s natural, fiscal, and non-renewable resources for self-enrichment.
The facade of exchange rate stability is a desperate attempt to mask the reality of an economy in shambles. Contrary to the childish propaganda disseminated by the ruling party, the situation on the ground tells a different tale. The universities in the country, under the chancellorship of the disparaged Scarfmore, provide a stark reflection of the true economic conditions. The exorbitant hike in tuition fees, leading to student demonstrations at the historically significant University of Zimbabwe, unveils the painful truth of a nation struggling under the heavy yoke of economic instability.
The police, acting as the partisan enforcers for ZANU PF, arrested the demonstrating students, displaying a clear manifestation of the oppressive tactics employed to silence dissent. These officers, whose meagre salaries are insufficient to afford the very education for their children they were deployed to disrupt, are yet another testament to the failed policies and governance of the ruling party.
If the claims of a stable exchange rate held any water, the necessity for universities to drastically increase tuition fees would be non-existent. However, the contrary is evident, the surge in tuition fees mirrors the dire economic conditions, making a mockery of ZANU PF’s claims. This fee hike not only reflects the falsehood of exchange rate stability but also highlights the immense burden placed upon the shoulders of the common people, who are entrapped in a cycle of oppression and economic hardship.
The narrative of exchange rate stability is nothing but hot air, diverging from the harsh realities faced by the citizens of this beleaguered nation. The so-called convergence of the parallel exchange rate with the official bank rate is a far cry from the truth, as witnessed by the actions of educational institutions striving to stay afloat amidst the economic quagmire.
ZANU PF’s unemployed online trolls, paid to distort the truth, cannot veil the evident failure in governance and economic management. The increase in tuition fees is a clear indictment of the fallacy of exchange rate stability peddled by the ruling party. As Zimbabwe continues to grapple with the consequences of unchecked looting, plundering and a mutilated supreme law, the facade of economic stability crumbles, exposing the dangerous underbelly of ZANU PF’s misrule.
The golden lie of exchange rate stability is thus unraveled, leaving the populace yearning for legitimate governance that can steer Zimbabwe out of this morass towards a path of recovery and true democracy.
