<\/p>\nWITH the economy in tailspin, Zimbabweans are seeking answers from everywhere including \u201cbegging\u201d deposed dictator Robert Mugabe to return to office.<\/p>\n
Prices of commodities have shot through the roof, with fuel prices going up on a weekly basis while the local surrogate currency the Bond Note is losing its value on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
Citizens have taken to social media to vent their anger and frustration at President Emmerson Mnangagwa as well as blame themselves for being party to Mugabe\u2019s removal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a message \u201cto Mugabe\u201d one Cohen Chakwizira quipped on his Twitter handle: \u201cIt was a small misunderstanding, retract your resignation letter. Nevertheless the masses did not accept your letter, it was only the Speaker of Parliament (Jacob Mudenda), we don\u2019t know why he did that sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chakwizira was referring to events leading to Mugabe\u2019s resignation in November 2017 days after military tanks rolled into the capital Harare and placed the then Zanu PF leader under house arrest before seizing key State institutions.<\/p>\n
The move by the military triggered countrywide demonstrations with demands Mugabe should resign. Parliament moved to impeach the only leader Zimbabwe had known since majority rule 37 years earlier before he threw in the towel.<\/p>\n
Another citizen Belinda Karuma wrote: \u201cWe didn\u2019t think there was anything worse than you, we were so wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an address to the nation at the time Mugabe was removed, the army said it was \u201conly targeting criminals\u201d surrounding him.<\/p>\n
And Brighton Chadyiwa turned this on Mnangagwa and his inner circle: \u201cWe did not know you were surrounded by criminals running the country today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Referring to Mugabe\u2019s claim that there was none among his lieutenants including Mnangagwa who was then serving as Vice President at the time, fit to take charge of the country, Matodza Fanuel said \u201cyou were right.\u201d \u201cIn short we are sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Phillip Masunda disagreed with others and accused Mugabe of destroying Africa\u2019s former bread basket.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou destroyed our country to an extent that it is irreparable. You brought this US dollar culture now people don\u2019t want their currency,\u201d said Masunda.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou dragged us into this mess, why didn\u2019t you share power with others long time ago when the country still respected you.\u201d<\/p>\n
One Murapatira had nothing but questions to Mugabe.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could you have thought about yourself as a good leader when you kept so many thugs in employment? You ruled for so long and yet never taught others how to lead.<\/p>\n
\u201cOr is it that these are your star pupils practicing what you taught them? You messed up generations to come. You started it and now they are finishing it please do not bother to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Mugabe\u2019s last days, the price of bread was US$0.90c but has since shot op to $3.5, general transport fares in the cities was at $0.50c, as compared to the current $3 and $5 depending with the distance all inside two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
