Nothing new about the New Year, someone complained. Yeah, another echoed. In fact the whole nation chorused: “No cheer for the near year!” “Screw it. I’m leaving this hellhole,” cursed a university graduate who is yet to get his certificate because the university says it does not have the special paper on which these important documents are printed. “I am taking my kids with me to South Africa,” whined a parent who came for the December holiday only to be told that Zimbabwean schools will not be opening anytime soon. So the kids are going to be enrolled in a South African school when everybody knows Zimbabwe has for decades been laughing at the education systems of other brother Africans. Now the tables have sure turned. “Happy New Year my arse,” chorused the whole nation. Great, just great.
