Mnangagwa asks why Zimbabwe is in such a mess when fundamentals point the other direction

For instance, grain secured from our neighbours ends up being imported from Mauritius.

Yet we all know Mauritius is not famous for production of cereals!

Such behaviours are not helpful and must be stopped.

As, too, should attempting to weaponise the economy for preferred political outcomes.

Negative politics based on the-worse-it-gets-the-better opposition syndrome has no place in boardrooms.

Anyone keen to run for office should leave the boardroom and the market to join us in politics.

We will not countenance politicians in business suits.

The Zimbabwean economy is too important and meant for all citizens to be manipulated by undeclared princes seeking political power.
