Potholes or portals.

Zimbabwe has become a pothole. A gaping wound with a hollow, cynical smile for all to see. Or an empty space that needs to be filled. Recreated. That's the choice for us Zimbabweans today and for the next few days. Young Zimbabweans have recently been reclaiming the streets as the State retreats to Borrowdale Brooke. Since the potholes weren't being dealt with the youth decided to deal with the problem themselves. Today youths from ZIYSAP (Zimbabwe Youth Survival Alternative Project) were filling potholes and stopping cars asking for donations for their work. The public road was dotted with makeshift, mighty marker signs reading 'Now Is The Time To Rebuild Our Country'. The youths stopped cars and handed out leaflets that showed what they demand from a new Zimbabwe and from those who stand to be elected. Potholes were turned into Portals.
