It makes one wonder about people in general though, people are voting for zanu without a doubt but zanu is the reason that country is proper fscked right now... So why are they still voting for zanu?
For some of the same reasons as why several other corrupt governments keep getting elected.
1. **Limited Alternatives:** Lack of viable alternative parties or leaders who can effectively challenge the incumbent government.
2. **Media Control:** The government controls or heavily influences the media, disseminating propaganda that manipulates public opinion and suppresses criticism.
3. **Fear and Intimidation:** The government might use fear, intimidation, or violence to suppress opposition and coerce people into voting for them.
4. **Voter Fraud and Election Rigging:** The government could engage in election fraud, altering the true results to maintain power.
5. **Cultural or Historical Loyalties:** Deep-rooted cultural or historical loyalties to a party or ideology, which might lead people to continue supporting the government despite negative outcomes.
6. **Clientelism and Patronage:** The government might offer material benefits, jobs, or services to individuals or groups in exchange for their votes.
7. **Educational Barriers:** A lack of education and critical thinking skills among the population, making it easier for the government to manipulate them.
8. **Fear of Change:** A fear of the unknown or potential instability that might come with a change in government.
9. **Social Cohesion and Unity:** A perception that the existing government represents a particular social, ethnic, or religious group, fostering unity and cohesion within that group.
10. **International Influence:** Foreign influence or intervention supporting the incumbent government, either through direct support or by influencing public opinion.
11. **Economic Dependence:** Economic policies or programs that make a significant portion of the population dependent on the government for their livelihood, creating a vested interest in the government's continuity.
12. **Ineffectiveness of Opposition:** Opposition parties might be fragmented, weak, or ineffective, failing to present a credible alternative to the incumbent government.
13. **Psychological Factors:** Cognitive dissonance or sunk cost fallacy, where voters might find it psychologically uncomfortable to admit that their long-held beliefs or past choices were mistaken.
14. **Social Pressure:** Social pressure and norms that discourage people from voting against the government, possibly due to family, community, or societal expectations.
