The Bible is quoted saying young men will have dreams. Definitely in one’s youth, we all have a tendency to dream and endeavour to pursue such dreams to fruition. All the great inventors to whom we owe the technological developments, we enjoy today, dreamt and then worked tirelessly to realize their dreams. Where there is a will there is always a way and that’s the reality of life.

I, many people included, are disturbed when undue criticism is leveled against Chamisa’s pronouncements at rallies where he gives outlandish descriptions of where he dreams to take this beleaguered nation. He dreams of an advanced road network he calls spaghetti roads, airports and all sorts of issues that will make Zimbabwe one of the most advanced nations again.

The young man definitely has ideas of where he wants to take this nation but, unfortunately, is roundly criticized by a dross ruling party that has no clue about what to do to promote the people’s lives. Their greatest affinity is to accumulate as much wealth for themselves and cohorts as possible.

They have selfishly built ridiculous palaces for themselves. Their children learn in countries foreign. They are treated in foreign hospitals. Yet the educational and medical facilities they crave for have been built by dreamers in their countries of origin, people who have set out to establish something outstanding for their communities and countries. It takes commitment and selfless application for one to pursue that level of excellence.

It is a pity that our present crop of leaders have never haboured such dreams of nationalism that promote the standard of living of the common man in Zimbabwe. Their dreams are self centered and serving. So when young men dream, let them do so since you have failed in that respect.

Let it be known that the grinding poverty that we are mired in is a result of stupidity and selfishness that is pervasive in the ZANU PF leadership that has imposed itself on the hapless people of Zimbabwe who watch as their leaders drive around in posh cars while they contend with winding queues at banks, lack of medication in hospitals, potholed roads and untold suffering.

We have the resources to change our lot but we are mortgaging the same resources to the cunning Chinese who exploit them for the benefit of their nation while ours is trapped in an ancient warp of dreamless leaders, a captured electorate and a directionless future!

It is here dreamers are required to take us forward as a nation!
