Real change has been promised by President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa who has proved to be a man of action.

With only six months in office, he has managed to change the country’s destiny for posterity.

Zimbabwe has now managed to realign itself with the global community through the New Government.

In its campaign message, Zanu-PF said, “Zimbabwe is now part of the global community, thanks to his policy of re-engagement.”

A Zanu-PF also expressed positive sentiment towards President Mnangagwa’s initiative to open up the economy to foreign direct investment through the Zimbabwe is open for business mantra.

“He has opened up our economy to foreign direct investment, thanks to his Zimbabwe is open for business mantra backed by solid policy reforms.

“Local and international companies continue to support Zimbabwe’s economic revival, with the resuscitation of ZISCO Steel and Eureka Gold Mine among others,” the Party said.

Harare Post has learnt that production at the giant steel maker slumped in 2008 resulting in the suspension of production. Under the New Government, President Mnangagwa managed to sign a $1 billion deal with a Chinese investor, Mr Zhang Li, to revive the steel maker.

Eureka Gold mine which was not operational for the past 15 years was recently officially opened by President Mnangagwa following a $60 million injection by investors.

The President is on a quest to ensure that the country attains the middle income economy by 2030. Currently a number of activities are being carried out by the New Government such as borehole drilling projects, dam construction projects, Command Agriculture and Command Housing Programmes.
