The feeling of just how it feels to be a Zimbabwean

I was coming from home this morning and i decided to join one of the queues that had formed just next to my bus station as a way of just getting a feeling of what it means to be in a queue to buy a thing. The thing is as a journalist i wanted to get the real feeling and record what those people who spend a day in a queue will be saying or thinking. I can tell you that i was disappointed. These people did not say anything, they were just talking about other things as if nothinmg is burning in this country. This queue was for bread and it was almost 9am and i was getting late for work. But when i was left with about five people before i get to the till to get my loaf of bread, it was suddenly announced that chingwa chapera. Being a Zimbabwean these days is a shameful thing.
