Where did the good old days go

My fellow Zimbabweans I wish I could turn back time maybe we would be able to go back to that time where people used to live together and love one another as neighbours.

It disappoints me so much to see that time has changed and people nowadays are doing their things alone without even involving their neighbours and I feel it is high time we receive that spirit of neighbourliness.

Back in the days especially in the countryside, villagers used to visit one another and even go to the point of rotating functions like Christmas parties in their homes.

When you are travelling and feel that you are hungry it was very possible for you to enter any field near you and eat crops such as sweet reeds or water melons without any fear but you can’t do that these days.

These days you are not even allowed to correct your neighbour’s child when you see him/her doing bad things.

Gone are the days when children used to play games such as mahumbwe until right in the middle of the night and no rape cases were reported. Parents in those days were united and became great friends because of their children who played together but today parents no longer allow their children to eat from their neighbour’s houses. What has happened.
