Lifestyle of Zimbabweans
Zimbabwe is a beautiful place where lifestyle revolves around sports such as cricket, rugby union and football. All Zimbabweans lead their lives in simple manner without much humdrum. They are nature friendly people and they have a rich culture and heritage. Living in Zimbabwe is all about the co-existence of different hybrid cultures and the new country is growing considerably in terms of economy, which is facilitating the locals to lead better lives. Lifestyle in Zimbabwe is not too hectic and people usually keep to themselves rather than interacting much and forming groups. Due to the natural beauty of the country, tourists from various countries flock to this land hence enabling the government to earn more revenue from the tourism department. The political scenario is a matter of great importance in the lives of the local people. Living in Zimbabwe is thus interesting and pleasurable because it is a land of adventures.
However, not all Zimbabweans have similar living conditions. Majority of village families do not get tap water. A large number of roads in the countryside are not properly paved. These places don't have any advanced transportation system. This condition deteriorates in the rainy season.
The entire country has insufficient health care. The village rural population is the worst affected. Some communities usually do not have the facilities of a well-educated nurse, not to mention a doctor. There is always dearth of medicines. Some of the commonest ailments are bilharzia, malaria, sexually transmitted diseases, cholera, tetanus, typhoid and polio.
In both rural areas and metropolitan regions, there are huge disparities in the lifestyle of people. In the urban areas, the dissimilarities are dependent on a person's gender, religion, and socioeconomic status. Asians, people of European descent, and people of hybrid race have the benefit of the best lifestyle. The aristocratic blacks come after them, including merchants and scholars.
In cities, the condition of women is worse. Sometimes, they are subject to prejudice. In the rural areas, some families are richer than others due to assistance from their children who are employed in the cities. Others make money from occupations like teaching.
