Prices of basics continue to stabilize

A senior ZANU PF official has said that the country continues to experience stability of the pricing of basic products.

On its twitter handle ZANU PF Patriots said ZANU PF Secretary for Administration, Dr Obert Mpofu stated that the country was experiencing stable pricing of basic commodities owing to a consistent foreign exchange rate.

“We continue to notice stability in the price levels of basic products. The now consistent foreign exchange rate as determined by the auction system and a further introduction of stringent measures aimed at suffocating the black market is a positive development. The stability resonates with the gradually opening up of the economy albeit in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The clearance and removal of the Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe (CBZ), by the United States of America Treasury of the US$385 million penalty is evidence, that behind the scenes engagement is making inroads,” he said.

Mpofu also said the New Dispensation was a success since projects across the country are a testimony to this achievement.

“The road shows two major projects and engagements with a variety of stakeholders being heralded by President Emmerson Mnangagwa across the country is a testimony of the achievements of the New Dispensation. We as leaders have a responsibility to use this script to cement this message of success. The Party will soon hold its Mid-Term Review of the 2018 Manifesto to ascertain the status of various projects which are currently at implementation stage,” he said.

Dr. Mpofu also called on Zimbabweans to remain vigilant in the wake of renewed efforts by the country’s detractors to destabilize the nation.

“We should continue to ward off and thwart all machinations of regime change agents by focusing on President Mnangagwa’s trajectory to attain Vision 2030,” he said.
