This book is about the challenges faced by Zimbabweans during post-independence in 1980 till present. It laments the issues of flag and anthem independence where the people feel let down and marginalised by the very own people they voted for. The books though humour discusses very penitent matters such as human right abuses, lack accountability on the part of elected government, corruption, how farmers produce rots in their homes, how people die of simple diseases because the hospitals are dysfunctional. The book further deals with critical questions raised by students on whose problem or who is responsible for all the messy Zimbabwe finds itself in.

The research questions were what are the major reasons for the failure of peacebuilding and reconciliation processes and the role of state and non-state actors Matebeleland North and South Provinces. The design of the study was qualitative because the topic dealt with emotions and feelings of the people who were involved in the conflict. The major findings indicate that the government has not been sincere in peacebuilding efforts and reconciliation was not properly implemented and that the communities in Matebeleland Provinces remain divided. There were no laws that were instituted to deal with reconciliation and peacebuilding matters. In addition, properties of the opposition PF ZAPU were confiscated by the government in 1982 under the pretext of arms caches discovery. The study concludes that the government has not made any apology for all the killings which were done by government forces. The study recommends that government should make full acknowledgement of all the killings and compensate the regions affected. In addition, there is need to establish Truth and Reconciliation Commission to handle all the cases of violence.
