Mugabe’s cabinet “an expensive pension scheme”

President Robert Mugabe’s cabinet is nothing more than a pension scheme for his cronies, Nixon Nyikadzino of the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition said today. “This Cabinet is more of an expensive pension scheme for ZANU PF sympathisers who have been plundering the national fiscus. Just thinking about what this will mean for the economy is scary. To start with, there is no indication that this is a Cabinet that will be mending relations with the international community. We are saddled with a huge debt and I do not see this government engaging with international institutions to try and have our huge debt cancelled,” Nyikadzino said.
