Mnangagwa milking a buffalo thinking it’s a cow!

Meanwhile, Chamisa claims the crisis will only halt if Mnangagwa concedes that he stole the 30 July election.

He says only legitimacy will solve the situation Zimbabwe finds herself in.

Chamisa’s MDC Alliance party maintains no investor would want to pour their money into a “bottomless” Zimbabwe.

Economist Chris Mugaga says government is “clearly running out of ideas and time”.

“The government sold the nation a dummy for too long. They were milking a buffalo thinking it’s a cow, now it’s kicking them from its udder and they are wondering why,” he was quoted recently in private media.

The Zimbabwe Council of Churches has tried to bring Chamisa and Mnangagwa to the negotiation table for a way out, but that option seems to have hit a brick wall.

ZANU-PF, the party in government, insists elections determined the legitimacy issue.

“Elections were held and are gone…Let’s look ahead in terms of our economic development, that is the challenge we are facing, the stabilisation of our economy…” Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo was quoted as saying recently.

The ruling party insists its leader Mnangagwa’s doors are open to anyone with a solution to the crisis.
