November never disappoints.From forbidden to pay lobola to Coups. #ZANU Minister has again defeated all odds by presenting a budget that will see Zimbabwe owning a Satellite; the news comes at a time when the nation is battling to provide basics & with record unemployment figures pic.twitter.com/ED5eHjePwL

When you read the budget you will think Zimbabwe is going to WAR with the US next year. All the money goes to the militia https://t.co/koHiUB76l5

Zimbabwe has taught me that if you are not happy with your salary as a Civil Servant and if you are not happy with the leadership of the country,pack your bags and leave the country,go where you feel your services are appreciated and paid for accordingly.

Tatamba Zvakwana.
Within a few months, we will all be millionaires and this national budget will be meaningless.

There, I said it.
The Minister of Finance says he has set aside funds for the launch of a space satellite. If you are in doubt, I have attached the extract from the national budget statement presented today. Ambition isn’t a bad thing but how about fixing roads & delivering clean water first?🤷🏾♂️ pic.twitter.com/lZUBAdqm6S

If I needed a jolt, this was it for me in the 2020 Budget Statement…..I probably lack the sophistication of dreaming BIG coz I just yearn for water, electricity and a functional health service for the masses in our country.🤷🏿♂️🙏🏿🇿🇼❤️ pic.twitter.com/iBPvol90uA
