Forgotten Elderly: A Call to Action for Zimbabweans
Abandoned and Neglected: The Plight of an Elderly Woman in Zaka, Masvingo
A disturbing image of an elderly woman living in deplorable conditions in Zaka, Masvingo, has sparked outrage and concern among citizen journalists and community members. The woman resides in a dilapidated room without roofing, exposing her to harsh weather conditions.
A Call to Empathy and Action
As a society, we have a moral obligation to care for our elderly. It is unacceptable to abandon vulnerable individuals, especially those who have contributed to our community’s growth. Neighbors and local leaders must come together to provide basic necessities, such as shelter.
Biblical Imperative
The Bible teaches us, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you” (Exodus 20:12). This commandment serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to respect and care for our elderly.
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Matthew 25:35-40
Beyond Poverty
While poverty affects many in our community, this situation is particularly distressing. We must recognize that our collective well-being is tied to the dignity and care of our most vulnerable members.
Taking Action
The author, Collen Makumbirofa, is investigating ways to provide assistance to the elderly woman. We urge:
1. Local authorities to intervene and provide support. 2. Community members to offer resources, skills, or volunteerism. 3. Zimbabweans to share this article, raising awareness about elder neglect.
Support the Cause
Help spread awareness by sharing this article. Consider supporting initiatives addressing elder care and poverty alleviation.
