Swedish born moral philosopher Sissela Bok once said people often understate the harm of lying and deceit by only analysing it from the perspective of the liar.
Bok says lies must also be considered from the perspective of the deceived, because lies give power to the liar and take away power from the person being lied to.
She notes several points relevant to Zimbabwe’s current situation, where local authorities have over the years been paying lip-service and feeding ratepayers with lies on what they can do in service provision, while running down the cities.
