Actress and TV host Denise Zimba is baffled by what has gone wrong with South Africa.

Taking to her Twitter timeline on Tuesday, Denise said the quality of life in the country has dropped.

“South Africa weighs heavy on my heart. One of the most beautiful countries in the world — the food, weather, people, diverse cultures, parties, experience. I don’t understand how we have fallen so bad. The quality of life is horrendous! People are suffering, hustling day to day.”

In her mentions one follower said South Africa had already fallen.

“You need to understand that there’s time for everything under the sun. Even Babylon, one of the wealthiest, greatest cities to have ever emerged fell and never rose again, 'as it was said'. SA collapsed way back, it’s only now that the cracks are starting to emerge,” said one follower.

“Eish. But wasn’t Babylon a city that eventually dishonoured its people and its blessings? Isn't that the channel of Universal law and karma ? That for anything to stay in its greatest and purest form, honour and dignity needs to be constant, that Allah is law & love at its core,” replied Denise.

Denise joined Linda Mtoba and Cassper Nyovest in sharing observations on the state of Mzansi.

“Load-shedding, pot holes, parks badly or rather not maintained at all, roads not maintained, some have no markings. We all just driving.

“And to add to my list, jaywalking. But this goes back to poor planning by government by having no walkways. If there is they're also badly maintained so people don't walk there but rather walk on the road,” tweeted Linda.

Cassper said many, including himself, were going through the most.

“I’m going through it myself. It’s tough man. Like I feel only the billionaires are living soft because jo ya kena ya tswa. Everything is just expensive. Water, electricity, food, petrol, security, rent, tax, etc.”

He added he was “not making enough money”.
