The sad thing about the fanatics is that they do not realise how the world laughs at us when they hear our leaders say these things. It costs US$160 million per kilometre to build a bullet train network. That is why Stephen Sucker called it an Alice in Wonderland “wet” dream. Even South Africa does not have a bullet train, yet it is three times larger than Zimbabwe in terms of land size. To build a bullet train rail from Bulawayo to Harare costs US$74 billion, just to connect Harare and Bulawayo alone. Is that the immediate need for Zimbabwe? Can Zimbabwe afford that now when, out of the total road network of 97,267 kilometres, only 18,000 kilometres are tarred? Hospitals have collapsed, schools have no books, and more. Surely, the fanatics must realise how embarrassing it is for a leader to jump to something that the country cannot afford, even without corruption. It gives the impression of someone with presidential ambitions but without an understanding of the task ahead and what the country truly needs! When we critique, we are doing so to help him realise how misguided his ideas are in relation to the immediate necessities of our time. I say our time because nobody above thirty will see a bullet train in Zimbabwe, not because of the cost, but the hierarchy of needs. You first fix hospitals, schools, ordinary rail, roads, dams, and all the basic necessities of life. As of now, there are only 15 countries with operational bullet train or high-speed rail systems. Not even Britain has a bullet train, we can’t talk of bullet trains when our people are walking on sewage and have no clean drinking water. I understand why, psychologically, our people hold on to useless illusions and get angry when their favorite leaders are critiqued. It is because we grew up in a country with only one television station, where journalists lined up to bootlick politicians, even as they said useless things! So we are a society that doesn’t understand the essence of real journalism, we want our journalists to write for politicians instead of about politicians! It does not make much sense for Zimbabwe to prioritise a bullet train at this moment, given our current economic and infrastructure challenges. While a bullet train, or as it is conventionally known, a high-speed rail system, could be a long-term asset for modernising the country’s transport network, there are more immediate needs that should take precedence, such as fighting corruption and fixing our hospitals.
