A heartbreaking video of Parirenyatwa Hospital — once a shining beacon of hope and healing in Africa — has gone viral, leaving Zimbabweans devastated and angry. The footage shows a once-grand institution now reduced to ruins: collapsing ceilings, rotting roofs, peeling paint, and crumbling walls. What was once a symbol of excellence has been left to decay before the nation’s eyes.


For many Zimbabweans, Parirenyatwa was a place of life-saving miracles, a place of dignity. Today, it stands as a graveyard of broken dreams — the human cost of years of corruption, looting, and betrayal by those entrusted to lead.


"This used to be the pride of Zimbabwe, the pride of Africa," one social media user wrote. "Now it looks like a haunted building. How did we let it get this bad?"


Patients, doctors, and nurses are now forced to work in unimaginable conditions. Broken equipment, leaking roofs, unsafe wards — these are now the realities of a hospital that once set the standard for healthcare in the region. Lives that could be saved are now lost because there are no working machines, no proper care, no dignity left.


The collapse of Parirenyatwa is not an accident. It is the direct result of decades of corruption and theft. Billions meant for hospitals, schools, and roads have been stolen by a ruling elite who live in luxury while ordinary Zimbabweans suffer and die in silence.


"We are being killed by corruption," said a nurse who asked not to be named. "It is not disease that is killing our people — it is greed."


The fall of Parirenyatwa Hospital is more than just the story of a building falling apart. It is the story of a nation betrayed.
