Zimasa in the Zone: Politics are becoming a hub for insults

Confrontations and colorful language have become the order of the day.

I HAVE watched in awe how politics today are becoming a hub for insults.

Name calling and airing one’s dirty laundry have become very common and I’m yet to meet a politician who argues fairly for our bread and butter issues when things get heated , doesn’t resort to the use of  ‘colorful language’.

Surprise me please!

Where is the value in hurling insults when debating?

And do we realise we encourage it by making their distasteful behavior trend on social media platforms?

Think about it!

If you haven’t had a chance to watch parliament proceedings, please do watch and see your leaders lose focus on development issues that can build this country whilst hung up in a world of insults.

You’re welcome to hold a different view than mine, but I believe that politicians seem incapable of holding respectful debates, they rely on insults and hyperbole while the poorest of the poor are still suffering.

Correct me if I’m wrong!
