Until when?

It is a sad reality to note that it is being said that Zimbabwe has at least economically redressed yet not everyone is participating in the economic cake. If one casts a glance at those living in the rural areas he or she will note that these people are still living in complete poverty, depending solely on food tokens that they receive from foreign donors like World Vision and ORAP. For example, recently I personally obseved the Hope Fountain Community receiving some food tokens from ORAP and you can just imagine how I felt when I saw the transaction. This shows that the economic setup is not only elitist but is politically biased as well. To say the people of Zimbabwe are poor or that they are rich is to be inherently blind to reality.First of all one has to think of the numercal disparities between those who are rich in Zimbabwe and those who are poor.

As arequisite to understand the issue, let us first of all look at the composition of the Zimbabwean Economic Beaurau. Neddless to say, it is to a certain extent balanced but only that these stake holders have their own definitions of poverty and being rich. Such definitions are those adapted from the mechanism of the swestern so-called poverty datam line which the country is failing to beat or achieve anyway. So why don't we then come up with our own definition of poverty or wealth which will accomodate our own capacities? Fancy that....
