Vote rigging and corruption have done more harm to the nations in one month than sanctions have done since they were imposed in 2001! For someone therefore to be protesting about sanctions even with the benefit of all the documented details on the three issues only goes to show just how shallow minded some people are.
Democracy never had a chance of taking root in Zimbabwe given we have corrupt and murderous thugs armed with guns who were determined to impose their tyrannical will on the nation, on the one hand. And on the other hand, a very naive and gullible electorate who have always struggled to get their heads round any major national issues and preferred to follow blindly like sheep. Even now with the country up to her eyes in trouble because of decades of Zanu PF corrupt and tyrannical rule, we still have people who still belief the discredited Zanu PF imaginary enemies of the nation!
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Governor Dr John Mangudya has admitted that the economy has largely deteriorated since last monetary policy statement in October 2018, we now in an (highly) inflationary environment and parallel market rate has more than doubled.
This is just voodoo economics at its worst! Zimbabwe’s foreign currency shortage is a result of Zimbabwe’s failure to earn foreign currency through export to march the ever ballooning import bill! Creating credit lines and other measures will solve nothing!
Zimbabwe’s economic recovery will never happen whilst the country remains a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs!
How EU can admit Zanu PF rigged last July's elections and still decide to let the regime off the hook beggars belief! They would never ever tolerate that in any one of their member states and rightly so too. Why they did so here only goes to show how the EU will undermine those who have fought hard for free, fair and credible elections for selfish European interests!
For countries like Zimbabwe to end corrupt and tyrannical rule, we the people have not only to fight the tyrants at home, their socialist backers in Asia and now add the democrats from the West! It is at times like this one deeply regrets the wasted golden opportunities Zimbabwe had to end the Zanu PF dictatorship. Tsvangirai and his MDC friends sold-out by failing to get even one reform implemented in five years of the 2008 GNU and the nation have paid dearly for it!
“The Party leadership met for six hours today and noted the continued suffering of ordinary Zimbabweans due to the non performing economy and failure to deliver by Mr Mnangagwa’s administration. The leadership however, restated the position that the MDC will only take part in a dialogue that is presided over by a credible, independent, mutually acceptable mediator/convener. It is only under such a convener that an agenda can be adopted and a sincere dialogue process begin to unlock the challenges affecting ordinary Zimbabweans,” writes Jacob Mafume.
MDC has said it would like to see the proposed national dialogue lead to the implementation of the democratic reforms and an end to the curse of rigged elections. Every thinking Zimbabwean would agree that implementing the reforms and holding free, fair and credible elections is the number one issue on the nation’s agenda.
Indeed, this has been the number one issue ever since the late 1990s when the people of Zimbabwe started demanding democratic change in earnest. Many Zimbabweans have risked life and limb to elect MDC leaders into power on the understanding the party will bring about the changes the nation has been dying for!
God knows MDC leaders have had many golden opportunities to implement the democratic reforms necessary to guarantee free, fair and credible elections and yet they have wasted them all. The party was reminded on countless occasions not to contest the elections without first implementing the reforms but would not listen.
“MDC has stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections!” Chamisa claimed.
“MDC has developed Winning In Rigged Election (WIRE) strategies!” chipped in Obert Gutu, then MDC-T party spokesman.
This is no doubt that MDC Alliance has ignored implementing the reforms all these years and is only picked these up now to give the call for dialogue credibility. The primary reason MDC Alliance want the talks is so Nelson Chamisa and a few others can get a seat on the gravy train just as happened during the last GNU.
A GNU led by Zanu PF will never implement the democratic reforms to guarantee free, fair and credible elections. The party failed to implement the reforms last time it is naïve to believe the party thugs would want to do so now when they have a lot more at stake than in 2013!
Chamisa and the rest in MDC Alliance know Zanu PF will never implement the democratic reforms and the international community know this too hence the reason why there will be no meaningful economic recover. The world will still consider Zimbabwe a pariah state with or without Chamisa and a few MDC Alliance friends.
Zimbabwe should focus all its energy on forcing Zanu PF to step down to allow for the appointment of an interim administration that can be trusted to implement all the democratic reform. MDC Alliance are once again an unwelcome distraction!
The Grain Millers Association (GMAZ) general manager Lynette Veremu wrote to the National Bakers Association of Zimbabwe (NBAZ) to tell them the country not pay for 55,000 tons of wheat in bonded warehouses in Mozambique and Harare. “We regret to advise that the current stocks for foreign wheat for bread flour have depleted to 5,800 tonnes and… we are left with less than eight days of national bread flour supplies,” the letter said. GMAZ spokesman Garikai Chaunza confirmed the letter, saying “this is the situation we are faced with.”
Once upon a time, it now sounds and feels like it was 100 million years ago, long before the dinosaurs ruled the earth (they are back ruling Zimbabwe), Zimbabwe was the breadbasket of the region! Now we are the basket-case of the failed state, the crocodile, the surviving relic of those dim-witted lizards, and his cronies rule the roost!
Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown will only get worse because there is no chance of any meaningful economic recovery as long as the country remains a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs. The only solution is for Zanu PF to step down and allow the holding of free, fair and credible elections! All this talk of national dialogue is just a waste of time and space!
China’s acting ambassador to Zimbabwe said his country is confident Zimbabwe will achieve its developmental goals under President Mnangagwa’s leadership whose reforms will transform the country and attract more investors. Addressing delegates during the 2019 Chinese Spring Festival gala in Harare on Sunday night, Acting Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe Mr Zhao Baogang, who is also the Charge d’Affaires at the embassy, noted that Zimbabwe had faced developmental challenges but would achieve its goals. Since when has China ever care whether Zimbabwe developed or drowned man-made hell-on-earth as long as China milked Zimbabwe for everything it can! Indeed, China has played a major part in encouraging Zimbabwe’s economic demise and breakup with the west leaving Zimbabwe dependent on China and thus ripe for exploitation by China. Mnangagwa is China’s puppet and they will prop up this Zanu PF regime for as long as they can provided China continues to get more from Zimbabwe than it is putting in. Helping Zimbabwe develop is the least thing China would want to do since Zimbabwe is a market for Chinese products!
The United Nations (UN) says it remains committed to spurring economic development in Zimbabwe in a bid to help the country achieve President Mnangagwa’s 2030 agenda.
The newly appointed UN Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Mr Bishow Parajuli said the international organisation has for many years committed to the nation’s development and will continue to support the President’s vision of transforming the country into an upper middle income economy by 2030.
The Ambassador also revealed that Zimbabwe is among eight African countries selected by the UN to benefit under a US$21 million fund earmarked for gender based violence programmes.
Zimbabwe’s greatest challenge right now is how to force Zanu PF to step down following the party rigging last year’s elections. Zimbabwe is stuck in this hell-on-earth because the country has failed to remove Zanu PF from office for 38 years and counting. Why is the UN pretending this Mnangagwa regime is legitimate when we all know it is illegitimate!
