It was around 6;00pm when l arrived at the 4th street bus terminus on the outskirts of Harare's CBD.
I had budgeted my ZW$4-00(the amount I had used to go home the previous day).
By Prince Gora
As l approached the terminus, the sight before me immediately told me that something was wrong and indeed my worst fears became a reality a few moments later.
$5-00 bond, the fare had gone up!
I had no other option but to wait. 10 minutes later it was $6-00 bond!
A quarter of an hour later, the kombis (commuter omnibuses ) strategically momentarily disappeared, when they came back barely five minutes later, the fare was $7-00 bond and people rushed to get in...and you blame them? Or you blame the kombi operators? Or the government?
Since l only had $4 bond in my pocket, all that l could do is take my phone out of my pocket, take a few pictures then open blogger and start typing...
