Signs of Economic Instability

The first signs of economic instability in any given situation are the standards of living which are inclusive of many issues like the state of roads, sanitary status, nature of buildings in cities and so on, a closer analysis can reveal.

Most of the streets and roads in Zimbabwe are now potholed to the extent that the combi drivers are now taking advantage of that and breaking traffic rules in the pretext of avoiding potholes, making it very difficult for the police to deal with although they are trying very hard to curb this corruption.

"These potholes are going to lead to the loss of many lives," commented an old man (name with held)who was in a combi involved in a "chase" as the passenger ferrers wresled and jostled for customers in the morning.

The clear matter now is that the economy of Zimbabwe has not yet recovered despite the "dollarisation" adopted by the GNU late in the year 2008 and moreso, the city council inh every town of Zimbabwe still has a huge task of renovating the roads such that large sums of money have to be pumped into this sector.

"I think the only solution to these fatal accidents is the renovation of the roads," commented Tapiwa Moyo who owns a garage along the Bulawyo-Plumtree road in Donnington and has witnessed an accident near his garage.

Tapiwa also suggested that it is the duty of every Zimbabwean however to be extra careful as the economy is not affecting one person but generally everyone, even the government although it is trying very hard to mend the economic loopholes caused by the ditching of the economy in 2008.
