Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF thugs are illegal...

Why is Zimbabwe borrowing $500 million and spending it on buying food and other consumables when everyone knows the golden rule is never to spend borrowed money on things that add no value or that will not help generate more wealth? This is common sense.
It is sad that people like RBZ governor John Mangudya and Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube who, before they are appointed to high office, seemed to be very rational individuals; but, as soon as they are appointed, they lose their marbles. They know to keep their job they must do as they are told - regardless of how stupid and foolish that might be.

If we are serious about having a good and competent government then we must take the issue of free, fair and credible elections very seriously because until we can hold the leaders to democratic account they will never take any notice to our demands for good governance.
Zimbabwe is in this economic and political mess because the nation has been stuck with this incompetent, corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship for 38 years. There is no doubt that the party has been rigging elections to stay in power against the democratic wishes of the people.
Zanu PF rigged the 2018 elections and if the regime is allowed to stay in power until 2023, then we can be confident the party will rig those elections too. Having created the de facto one-party dictatorship that has to enable the party leaders to rig elections and stay in power regardless of how pathetic their performance in office; this is the one thing Zanu PF is not going to give up without a fight.
If you rig elections, per se, you do not have the mandate to rule, you are illegitimate. President Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF junta rigged the 30 July 2018 elections, the regime is illegitimate and it is up to us the people to force the regime to step down.
It is self-defeating for us to be calling for free, fair and credible elections and then do nothing if someone blatantly rig the elections. After 38 years of Zanu PF rigging elections and us doing nothing about it with the disastrous political and economic consequences, we can see all round Zimbabwe today. The pressure for us to stand up and put an end to this curse of rigged elections has never been more enormous than it is today.
Zanu PF has rigged elections for the last 38 years and got away with it because, we the people, have lacked the political will, vision and resolve to tell Mugabe and now Mnangagwa, he is illegitimate and must step down! Come what may; come 2023, Mnangagwa and his junta must not still be in office to rig those elections too.
