Zimbabwe’s ambassadors have not been paid for more than 20 months, Morgan Tsvangirai’s party has said in a development that has left the community shell-shocked and with the MDC leader describing it as an embarrassment.
Tsvangirai in his special Christmas message said diplomatic missions across the world are also at pains financially failing to pay rent and could be evicted anytime soon.
Said Tsvangirai,  “to cap our embarrassment, we have just been told our diplomats have not been paid for over 20 months and our diplomatic missions risk being ejected from properties we occupy in foreign capitals around the world.
“We have failed to pay our annual subscriptions to the African Union as well as our SADC mandatory pledges, even though President Mugabe is at the helm of both institutions. Our current sad reality is worlds apart from the make-believe world depicted in ZimAsset, a Zanu PF policy programme that has failed to assume any life outside the neatly packed blueprints in government offices.
“The ambitious programme had promised the creation of  2,2 million jobs, the construction of 250 000 low-income homes, a growth rate of nine percent per annum, 310 public schools and 300 more clinics up to 2018.
“But there has been a huge chasm between that dream and the sad reality. There has been no statecraft in the cockpit of State and the mediocrity in the corridors of government is alarming, even by Zanu PF’s usual poor standards.
“Last-week’s so-called cabinet reshuffle failed to inspire any confidence in the nation as it was simply a shuffling of the chairs in the Titanic. The ‘new’ brooms are the same ‘old’ characters who have failed to deliver over the years.
“Mugabe has lived true to the adage that there is always so much deadwood in a Zanu PF Cabinet that one can make an ark”
