Zimbabwe’s problems are temporary says army boss

Zimbabwe National Army commander Phillip Valerio Sibanda says the current economic problems that  the country is facing are just a passing phase.

“No good thing comes on a silver platter.  We have to work for it and the suffering that we have gone through, that we are going through, is because there is something good we have done for ourselves which other people don’t want to accept. 

They are trying to send a message out there that if we are allowed to succeed we will be a bad example to others in a similar situation like ours….. We believe that, yes, the challenges are there, but we are dealing with these challenges and we will not be overwhelmed by these challenges.”
