I often quote Dr Solomon Guramatunhu when he speaks about the mindset of a nation and argues that in a country like Zimbabwe, ZANUPF is not really the primary problem. The deeper problem is the mindset that reproduces the kind of leadership we end up with, because leaders in ZANUPF come from our own communities. They are not imported from Mars. That is why many of the same behaviours found in ZANUPF are also reproduced in the opposition. One of the simplest ways to see this is through everyday behaviour. Look at how people drive in China, then reflect on what happens on Zimbabwean roads. It says a great deal about how a nation develops, or fails to develop, the mindset of its people. In Zimbabwe, you can reach an intersection where traffic lights are not working and people will block each other for an hour, not because there is no solution, but because no one is willing to give way. They would rather waste time ensuring the other side does not move. The same mentality appears on the open road. If you try to overtake someone who is driving slowly, the moment they realise you are overtaking, they suddenly accelerate. This behaviour is deliberate. It is rooted in mindset. It helps explain why we are stuck where we are and why, as a people, we struggle to progress. If you cannot drive in an orderly, cooperative way, you will struggle to build orderly, cooperative systems in politics, the economy, or society. There is a clear methodology behind the rise of China, and it is grounded in how people think, how they relate to rules, and how they understand the collective good. In the same way, there is a methodology behind Zimbabwe’s tragic failures, and it is also rooted in thinking and behaviour. This mindset shows itself in social interactions as well. When a picture is posted of a man standing next to a woman, many people immediately sexualise the woman. What makes it even more tragic is that some women themselves join in. This is not harmless banter at all. It reflects a deeper problem in how people think, what they prioritise, and how they view others. The same mindset affects even the so called educated elite. People with master’s degrees and PhDs often try to destroy each other in the institutions where they work, whether local or international, constantly badmouthing one another despite their education. You will often find a Zimbabwean in a senior position in a large organisation actively undermining other Zimbabweans in the same space or profession. I have been asked many times, especially by Nigerians, what is wrong with Zimbabweans, why they pull each other down and sabotage one another. The answer is simple. It is a mindset problem. You see the contrast clearly in South Africa. When traffic lights are not working there, traffic still flows. That order is not imposed by the police. It exists because of the mindset of South Africans themselves, the understanding that giving way allows everyone to move. In Zimbabwe, we also have a police force, yet order often collapses. Policing alone cannot create civilisation. For the police to succeed, citizens must be willing participants in order and discipline. That willingness requires civic consciousness and respect for others. As a nation, we need to confront this honestly. We need to examine how we behave and how that behaviour correlates with our collective failures. That is why some families are very strict about how their children grow up and who they interact with. They are trying to protect their children’s minds from a tragic and retrogressive mindset that quietly but consistently holds people back. Many do not realise this. They think they are doing well, without seeing that a change in thinking could allow them to do far better than they are doing now, not just materially, but as human beings. What we are seeing in this video from China, drivers being courteous to each other, actually speaks to a much bigger picture about that society. It reflects respect for order, for rules, and for one another. I used a Chinese example here, but I could just as easily have used a South African one, because the same thing happens there. As a driver in South Africa, there are moments when I arrive at traffic lights that are not working and I instinctively stop. I get confused, because I am conditioned by the chaos of Harare. Suddenly, I am in a space where there is order and mutual respect, and it forces you to pause, to think, and to ask deeper questions. That contrast makes you realise that what we see on Harare’s roads is not just about driving. It is a reflection of many layers of our lives as a society, how we relate to rules, how we respect others, how we handle shared spaces, and ultimately how we organise ourselves. The disorder on the roads is simply the most visible expression of much deeper problems in our thinking and behaviour.

"What were you wearing?" is an absurd question posed to many survivors of sexual violence. In this powerful exhibit at the @UN, we are reminded that we must end rape culture, victim-blaming and patriarchal structures in our societies.
