Jane Mlambo| As Zimbabweans braces for another hard phase ushered by the worsening economic situation, a former university student has confessed to at one time eating sadza and vicks, a cough and chest suppression ointment.

Posting on Twitter, Tapiwa Munjoma said things got hard during his university days that he was with no option except to resort to eating vicks as relish.

Vicks is a mentholated topical ointment used to treat chest pains, back and throat for cough suppression or on muscles and joints for minor aches and pains.

Guys I remember back in uni zvinhu zvakatombo ndiomera ndakambodya sadza ne Vicks.
