I expect better from an African centred publication than the western negativity around reporting on Zimbabwe. The zanu pf government led the taking back of our land and the west will never forgive us nor will they rest until zanu pf is gone. Seriously what study is this that puts Zimbabwe as number one ON THE PLANET in alcohol consumption. The study is not even named. And you link the alleged alcoholism to covid 19 job losses and school closures as if Zimbabwe was the ONLY country on earth that experienced such.
I challenge baobab to report the many positives about Zimbabwe. How about that we consistently punch above our weight in human capital development or that after land reform Zimbabwe is back in the TOP 5 of tobacco producing countries alongside the US Brazil India and China (a huge achievement for a country as shall as this) or that Zimbabwe currently leads in blueberry production in the world. Even our gdp as reported in your other story beats countries like Rwanda by a wide margin.
The west have decided to only report what is negative and to ALWAYS put Zimbabwe in every negative category- most alcohol consumption, most food insecure country alongside war torn countries like Ukraine, Sudan and gaza. Most child marriages. The economist magazine consistently rates harare one of the worst capital cities in the world alongside capitals in war torn countries such as kabul Damascus etc. Surely all these negatives cannot be true?Come on baobab you can do better than merely parroting lies from people with a regime change agenda.
