Doers stand up and be counted

By Upenyu Silent Chaota
A great thinker in his memoirs once said, "The only way for evil to triumph is for good man to do nothing". This proves to be true in the Zimbabwean context.
Many of us are just talkers and less of doers. This great nation needs pragmatists and not idealists.
Idealists should now keep their ideas to themselves because saying alone is not suffice to change the world.
After all has been said and done, it is the doers who change the world and changes us. So doers stand up and be counted.
Zimbabwean politics has now been tainted because of talkers who never act upon their words. All we hear is political party A is now at logger heads with political party B the same with politicians who are on each other's throat for political expediency.
We have been made to believe that the ruling party has failed the people and the economy. Yes talk is cheap but what are we doing about it- if they really have failed- or could it be that they haven't failed that's why no one is standing up?
For the past 35 years we have been ruled by our revolutionary party and with our one president- i am sure those with quick imaginations know this party which i already have forgotten about.
Now here comes the problem...since my memory to remember names is a bit blurry, there is this opposition party which claims to be the one to lead the country to Canaan (the land of milk and honey) but what they have done thus far is just talk about it.
They have talked about massive demos, for over a year now, to end people's suffering but the idea lacked practice. It was never set in motion. Lets walk the talk gentleman- Doers stand up and be counted.
If i remember well- well at least if i try- the same opposition now threatens to boycott elections!!! I remember they are saying something like 'No Reforms No Elections' but what i am yet to understand is what it is exactly they want reformed in the electoral process.
I am sure that these reforms are going to be a pipe-dream so does it mean that we are no longer going to Canaan? How sad. 
If people continue talking and not act on their words, they should just be told to shut up and sit down or euphemistically- Talk is cheap.
Am not saying its bad to talk but do not talk and give people hopeless hope when you cannot man up and be a doers.
As i pen this down i would like to share my sympathies with the Dzamara family as they are suffering over the disappearance of Itai Dzamara and plead with his abductors to return him to his family.
For now i will rest it here- Doers stand up and be counted.
