Mutakiwa

I would like Cabinet, Parliament and council to sit with this photograph for an afternoon. In fact, every high school teacher, whatever the subject, should ask students to write an essay on what they see here. The answers would probably take us closer to the solution to Zimbabwe’s problems than most policy papers. Every boardroom should spend time with it too. For good measure, the Zimra board should take it on a weekend retreat and ask its economists to calculate how much OK has paid in taxes over the past decade. Then they should look again at the pavement outside. I am keeping this photograph for my book.
