Appeal For Journo's To Cover Impact Of Passport Shortage

Dear Zimbabwean Journalists
I read with profound joy and sdaness the article "Mangwana Gives Corruption A Thumbs Up". My anger was the reaction to the fact that the Zimbabwean government is an oligarchy of criminals with no conscience at all. It is crucial to expose such issues because as the Anti-corruption minister the fight against corruption should begin with Mangwana.

However, my fellow countrymen, i implore you to urgently bring to light the whole truth about the passport saga in Zimbabwe. In an age where human beings are more mobile due to improved transportation systems and the power of globalisation, denying one of the right to a passport is an unforgivable state crime against its own citizens and a highest form of injustice. Whether its political or economic is besides the point, the fact is we dont need any explanation about not issuing passports. It is as bad as explaining murder. Many students want to travel abroad for further studies, have secured places and scholarships only to be denied by failure to acquire a passport. A passport is now more difficult to obtain than a degree in Zimbabwe.
