Land invaders vs unemployment

'We are not doing anything wrong...the land we are taking belongs to us. It is the land given to us in 2007' said Mandangunda. Lovemore "Landmine" Mandangunda is one of the land invaders in Zimbabwe and he forceable settled on Mount Carmel Farm. This issue reminds me of one that happened in our rainbow nation of the organisation for unemployed people who decided to took to the streets and invaded retail shops - took food without paying... They justify their wrong doing by saying they want government to stick to the promises of creating jobs. Where the hell is the government going to find employment for everyone?

For true, poverty, HIV/AIDS, underpaid employees are the major problems in our country not forgetting crime that they use as another justification for being unemployed. Suprisingly, most of the masterminds behind most crimes are very powerful people, who are employed so.... When the organisation for unemployed people took to the street, I was the only one in my flat that criticized their behaviour. I agree with the fact that they are unemployed and frustrated what I argue with is where and when in the history of our country did the government offer every citizen an allowance especially with the recession....

So personally, land invaders of Zimbabwe, yes it might be your land but use proper channels to claim it back. Things are getting out of hand for true and violence would not take us forward but it is going to make things worse. We need each other, whether you are red, white, black or orange... and for the organisation of unemployed people, its really embarrassing for me that the organisation is led by a woman, who encourages people to do crimes as a mother you know how other women struggle to make ends meet for their families, they don't go and claim at Pick n Pay that government should pay for their groceries. Those who know the struggle go out there and ask for any piece job that one can have inorder for their families to have something to eat....

What I think she should have done, was to come up with a strategy of finding piece jobs for her members, to clean windows etc but surely it is always influenced by personal greed that I think was the whole reason this woman started the organisation. It saddens me that at this time and age in our country most people are making a living by manipulating others. Why don't we accept what we have and try to work hard for what we don't have.
