Mnangagwa punishing the nation with shortages

Only a village idiot would believe that Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF thugs would have carefully plotted to have the foreign currency shortage, the financial chaos brought on by the Bond Notes value going up and down like a yoyo, the shortage of bread, fuel, medicine, etc. 

There is no doubt that the one thing Mnangagwa had wished for more than anything since seizing power nearly a year ago was to see a flood of investors and lenders pouring into the country in response to his “Zimbabwe is open for business!” carrion call. It was not to be, investors and lenders have continued to shy away from investing in Zimbabwe. 

The country’s worsening economic situation is a result of Mnangagwa’s failure to get the fundamentals right such as holding free, fair and credible elections, ending corruption, stop the waste of resources on new cars for chiefs and on chartered planes, etc. and not just talk about it. Zimbabwe cannot be open for business when it remains a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs. Investors do not do business this thugs because of the hustle and the risk of being mugged! 

There is no doubt that Mnangagwa understood the need end Zanu PF’s reputation as a party of thugs hence the reason for all that talk of “new Zimbabwe and new dispensation”. He was hoping that talking about holding free, fair and credible elections would suffice. The prospect of implementing the democratic reforms and giving up all Zanu PF’s dictatorial powers to rig the elections was a bridge to far for him and his junta cronies. 

Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown are a result of Mnangagwa and his junta’s refusal to accept the reality that Zimbabwe will never achieve any meaningful economic recovery as long as the country remains a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs. Chamisa’s suggestion the regime is causing the economic meltdown to punish the people is nonsense. The nonsensical narrative we have learnt to expect from corrupt and incompetent opposition leaders who claim to have the answers to all the nation’s problems but will only disappoint because they have no clue!

The only way out of this hell-hole Zanu PF has landed us in is for the party to step down to allow for the appointment of a interim administration that will implement the democratic reforms and then hold free, fair and credible elections.

Zimbabwe’s economic recovery is impossible whilst the country remains a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs!
