No one but Mugabe to blame if Zim Asset fails

President Robert Mugabe has put his neck on the line this time. He has put the implementation of the government’s economic recovery programme- the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation- under his office which means that he will have no one but himself to blame if the programme fails.

Zim Asset is built around for strategic clusters which are:

  1. Food Security and Nutrition
  2. Social Services and Poverty Eradication
  3. Infrastructure and Utilities; and
  4. Value Addition and Beneficiation

To make matters worse, President Mugabe and his government cannot use sanctions for the failure of the programme. The blueprint says because of the “continued existence of the illegal economic sanctions, subversive activities and internal interferences from hostile countries”…. the planners have to come up with “sanctions busting strategies”.
