Mutsvangwa claims Chamisa resignation a victory for CCC ‘democrats’

Zanu PF spokesman Christopher Mutsvangwa has claimed the resignation of Nelson Chamisa as leader of the opposition Citizens for Coalition Change (CCC) was a victory for members that were fighting for democracy in the party. Chamisa on Thursday quit the party he founded two years ago, arguing that it was “contaminated” by infiltrators and hinted that “we have fresh things we need to do.”

Even Mutsvangwa knows sanctions not to blame for crisis in Zimbabwe

I was listening to a most interesting debate at the CEO Africa Annual Roundtable recently held in Zimbabwe’s resort city of Victoria Falls.

This year’s Roundtable went under the theme, ‘Delivering the Vision: Prospering through Smart Partnerships’.

During this meeting, there was a debate moderated by renowned publisher and Chairman of Alpha Media Holdings, Trevor Ncube.

Those locking horns were Chris Mutsvangwa (ZANU PF spokesperson and Minister of Veterans of the Liberation Struggle), Tendai Biti (former opposition CCC legislator and Minister of Finance, 2009-2013), and Nigel Chanakira (investment banker).

The main focus of the sometimes heated debate was basically whether the economic and political environment in Zimbabwe was conducive for investment, and if not, what was hindering development in the country.

Mutsvangwa was rabidly supportive and largely defensive of the Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa administration’s policies.

No surprises there!

However, it was what he did not say that peaked my curiosity.

For years, hyperinflation has been the bane and bugbear of the besieged Zimbabwe economy. The Ango-Saxon world and its European kith and kin launched a concerted economic attack. The goal being to force Zimbabwe to its heel so it could cry ‘Uncle‘. The fiat US dollar as the infant global currency of new baby America was deployed to mercilessly decimate the Zimdollar fiat money inherited from colonial Rhodesia. The desperate currency scenario called for creative innovation.
