EDITOR, The Tribune.

It's extremely disheartening to keep on witnessing negative sentiments and lack of concerns by the Zimbabwean government about citizens who are continuously leaving Zimbabwe in search of better economic conditions in other foreign countries, particularly South Africa. As we observe migration day, it is worthy reflecting on why the corrupt Zimbabwean government is hoping South Africa will renew special work permits for Zimbabweans. The Zimbabwean government should be ashamed that it has failed an estimated six million Zimbabweans who are scattered in South Africa.

If the Zimbabwean government can manage the country, Zimbabweans in South Africa will not be begging for the special work permits in the first instance. This shocking scale of migration regarding Zimbabweans was created by mismanagement of the country by ZANU PF government. The world should put pressure on the Zimbabwean government to sort out the economic mess they have created and stop the migration patterns which are threatening the Southern Africa region, particularly South Africa. President Emmerson Mnangagwa should transform the economy of Zimbabwe and create an environment in which citizens will migrate to South Africa and other countries particularly by crossing crocodile infested Limpopo River. If he fails, he should resign or be removed so that Zimbabweans can stay in Zimbabwe and stop the unprecedented pattern of migration.
