Phrankleen YouTube Channel speaks about why Zimbabweans in the UK are broke and struggling. A lot of Zimbabweans want to leave the Diaspora, but are unable to leave because they are entrapped:

Showing off with expensive cars

Many Zimbabweans have bough expensive cars that cost up to 700 pounds a month and yet they do not need to be driving such cars.

Overspending while Contracting

Most Africans when they get a job as a contractor, they start overspending and end up in trouble with their taxes.

Failure to get out of low income groups

Most people who come from Africa have a misconception about life in the West. Most people who come into the UK, they fall into low income groups. The inability to communicate effectively makes it impossible to blend in and get better opportunities. This places limitations on Africans and they end up settling for low end jobs.

You can get out of the income group you were born in, but its getting more difficult.

Religion

Religion is placing financial commitments on Africans in the UK. There is religious and emotional blackmail for church members to contribute donations, tithes and offerings on a weekly and monthly basis.

Extended Family

Many Zimbabweans in the UK are investing back home and are often sabotaged or make bad investments back home. The family back home will call you a failure and are constantly being put under pressure by people back home.
