Lessons From Zimbabwe

The Mnangagwa story.

So on the day that Vice President Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe was fired, he decided to leave the country quickly and since he couldn't use a commercial flight, he decided to call on two Indian brothers who have been his 'friends' to ask if could use their private jet which was parked at Harare International Airport.

The guys flatly refused to help  Mr. Mnangagwa saying they didn't want to jeopardize their businesses. Mnangagwa had to eventually take the risk of leaving the country by road via the Zimbabwe - Mozambique border.

The interesting news  for the Indians friends is that come Friday the guy they refused to help when he desperately needed their help is sworn in as  the President of Zimbabwe.

Lesson 1:

Most of the people we call our friends will abandon us when we are down or when they feel they can no longer get any material benefits from us.

Lesson 2:

Never abandon your friend when he is on the ground because you dont know what tomorrow brings, tables  can turn when you least expect them.

What do you think of the friends who drove with him in the car all the way to South Africa through Mozambique/Zimbabwe Border? They didn’t even know if they are safe with him during the journey. But....they volunteered to help and be with him in his need hour.

Always Be a true friend and remember at times you are called for help or volunteer to help people with really or no problems.  Some may be victims and need your help.

Enjoy your Day
