By A Correspondent- University of Zimbabwe (UZ) political science lecturer Eldred Masunungure has said in the past 20 years, Zimbabweans exhibited a legendary resilience which has forced them to accept the abnormal situation.

Said Masunungure:

“Zimbabwe should have exploded a long time back and the mystery is why it has taken so long.

We have had this in the past 20 years, but the Zimbabwean situation is not a normal one. There is a high threshold of resilience and until that endurance reaches exhaustion point, it is at that point when this social and political situation will implode. We have had many episodes of economic implosion which have led to that.”

The UZ political science lecturer pointed out that if it was in other countries such as South Africa, people might have taken to the streets a long time ago.-Newsday
