Build the dream. by Gushungo http://www.comehometozim.com/2009/03/prepare-for-your-homecoming-build-the-dream/comment-page-1/#comment-11 Gushungo Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:24:02 +0000 http://www.comehometozim.com/?p=35#comment-11 I agree with wezhira uyu. It aint easy being Zimbabwean in another country. We have the necessary resources and abundant skill to lift Zimbabwe right out of the mud to the top of the african map. I personally have learnt a lot of things and I have a lot of ideas on how to get out of this situation bar the politics. We have seen other countries employing technocrats to high positions and they are changing the face of provinces. I am working for the Gauteng Department of Transport, Roads and Works currently. I got employed because they realised political appointments have no technical skill to turn around the economic landscape. Gauteng right now is the only province in Africa that has an economic growth factor of note even in these trying times. If our political leaders can c that the way forward is to employ the expertise of people like myself and a whole lot of others who have been working day in day oput for other countries, we will make the world cry when our economy starts regulating itself.

Right now a lot of Zimbabweans who have good jobs elsewhere have little to no incentive in risking their current positions (except for the love of the country) by return to an unstable employment market/government which has done almost nothing right now to guarantee employment and good salaries. Dual Citizenship allows people the option to leave freely without persecution minus the land redistribution nightmares of late 90s early 2000s.

(Although outstanding tax calculations of several billion dollars wouldn't be much to pay, the penalties would still apply - in some cases, jail - and nobody wants to land up there!!!). The tax directive would apply to self-employed persons. Normal sales tax and PAYE would apply immediately to anyone buying items or getting a salary.

I dont agree with it. what amnesty are we suposed to hold. Its better to get 12months tax free salaries from countries in which we are moving from. Our contry is being robbed the same way you want "to come-home". so where is the help then? its why they says "Zimbabweans dont know how to make their economy beter". you pay high taxes in diaspora because they know thats what makes them strong. In return you steal from your own country- no. Pay taxes to Zimbabwe to make it rich and monitor the funds. thats where we get it wrong. if you are from diaspora you had more ways of making money. you should contribute to your country more. when you are not ready to come back home then do not.

Zimbawe belongs to Zimbabweans and is being sold by Zimbabweans. lets put our house in order first. westerners shall continue to suck our resourses till we play to their own tune. exports are still functioning right now in Zimbabwe but "where" are they investing it? ban all the xports for now rather accumulate for a certain period or pay the correct taxes to the government then manage the monies fairly.
