Reactions To 2020 National Budget

Zimbabwe can’t even afford to fly more than 1 Air Zim aircraft and Mthuli is out here promising to launch a space satellite in the 2020 budget. Lol

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.

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

The blustering veneer is off – that’s good; but the irrationality continues disastrously. Firewood bakeries in the rural areas, fish farming ponds in the CBD, low wages & poor equipment for teachers, doctors & their clients, and a space satellite? It sounds disoriented to me. pic.twitter.com/OnPtzLgHhV

Some positive from the 2020 Zimbabwe budget .. most important is the action!
