Whilst Natasha might have enjoyed her FIFA moment, and gotten a real buzz out of the Brazil / Zimbabwe match last week, other Zimbabweans are not so convinced. Teachers and civil servants remain poorly paid. Water and electricity shortages persist. But Zimbabwe paid US$1.8 million to get Brazil to play football here. Below are more responses from our subscribers, most of whom are disappointed by government’s priorities.

Better paying electricity with that money

Personally I don’t support that otherwise that money should have been injected into the education sector

Crazy priorities. Upside down. What would you expect?

—

Its just unfair

—

It is disheartening

That is total negligence of systems that can rebuild Zimbabwe. It signals failure to prioritise and lack of political to improve e welfare of civil servants.

We mixed good and rotten tomatoes in the same basket

That means they like leisure than the people’s needs

Its not fair enjoying soccer at the expense of other people. Zvinhu zvakaoma vamwe varibusy kuputitsa cash
