Netizens continue to applaud President Emmerson Mnangagwa's efforts in turning around the economy.
Tweeting on his Twitter handle today, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Newlay Technology, Charles Chitondo posted that, “President Emmerson Mnangagwa has achieved a lot of things in a period of two years more than the overrated Government of National Unity (GNU).We did not see any infrastructure development or any recruitment during that GNU.”
Another netizen, who goes by the moniker Delante Wevhu tweeted that the Second Republic had managed to clear foreign debts, which the GNU failed to do.
“All that borrowed money which messed up the credit of the nation was cleared in this Second Republic.
“Hatingatendi vapemhi over producers. The Second Republic has cleared debts and developments are funded by local money.#GarweRasimudzaNyika,” posted Delantu Wevhu.
Delantu Wevhu went on to say that journalists are not writing about the developments brought by the Second Republic, because most of them are enemies of Government who are working in cahoots with the country’s detractors to discredit it.
“#GarweRasimudzaNyika. Journalists are enemies of progress and bad partners of hyperbole crisis.
“They all wish to be American. President Mnangagwa has no time to waste. Forward with progress Murambwi,” he posted.
One netizen by the name Miriam Munetsi tweeted that progress in the country would take time and cannot be achieved overnight.
“Where will you get that Government which will change everything in a day, there is or will never be a miracle in rebuilding a once broken country, even David Coltart said it, that not even MDC can fix Zimbabwe in a day, month or year,” she posted
President Mnangagwa had on several occasions pledged to improve the livelihoods of people through various developmental projects.
Under the administration of President Mnangagwa, the New Dispensation reintroduced the Zimbabwe Dollar after ten years of dollarization and relying on foreign currency.
Former white commercial farmers whose farms were acquired during the Fast Track Land Redistribution programme are being compensated.
Early this year Zimbabwe was ranked third in Africa on budget transparency by the Open Budget Survey. Zimbabwe had a transparency score of 49 out of 100, and came third after South Africa.
In September this year, President Mnangagwa launched the 2020-2025 Agriculture and Food systems transformation strategy, which seeks to achieve a US$8.2 billion Agriculture Income Economy by 2030.
