President Emmerson Mnangagwa has warned economic saboteurs that the long arm of the law will catch up with them while reiterating that Zimbabwe will not revert to the multi-currency system.<\/p>\n
He was addressing Zanu PF party supporters at Goromonzi High School where the party\u2019s 18th Annual National Conference is underway.<\/p>\n
The President and first secretary of the ruling party, Zanu PF, sternly warned members of his party and citizens in general to desist from money hoarding and sabotage on the Zimbabwean currency.<\/p>\n
The conference is running under the theme \u201cmechanise, modernise and grow the economy towards vision 2030\u2033.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the wolves clothed in sheeps skin must be flushed out from our system, those who continue to deal in the money market be warned, the long arm of the law will catch up with you and you will be prosecuted,\u201d said President Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will not revert back to a basket of currency, nada, nada, nada we will defend our currency as a symbol of our sovereign, our law enforcers will close in on those hoarding money.<\/p>\n
The President commended members of the public for refusing to be used by other parties with hidden agenda\u2019s who bank on sacrificing members of the public to further their self-serving agenda\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn spite of various attempts by our detractors, to derail the course of our reforms and economic recovery, the revolution for the peoples struggle for the people\u2019s sustainable development is well on course, we are going forward,\u201d President Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to commend the people of Zimbabwe for rejecting the machinations by those with unbridled political ambitions who are even prepared to use violence, divisions and disunity and violent demonstrations in order to acquire power. We saw them in January and again at various times of the year, sacrificing precious lives to achieve their ends be it through outright violence through violent demonstrations or under the guise of purported joint industrial action.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat behaviour and culture is alien to us in the second republic and should continue to be rejected by the peace-loving people of our Zimbabwe\u201d.<\/p>\n
President Mnangagwa reassured party members that his government is working tirelessly to ensure that the people of Zimbabwe live better lives and that small holder communal farmers would be assisted.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder the agriculture modernisation and mechanisation programme, various schemes are underway to ensure increased availability of tractors, planters, harvesters and centre-pivots,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am aware of the loss of drought power among small holder communal farmers as a result of the death of cattle due to the drought and livestock diseases, our Minister of Agriculture, Perrence Shiri, informs us as government on a weekly basis the number of deaths of livestock as a result of diseases and lack of water.<\/p>\n
\u201cDDF will ensure that tillage services are available to our people throughout the country. \u201c<\/p>\n
The President also revealed that plans are underway to ensure improved electricity productions and that the Republic of China had assisted with US$1.3 Billion towards electricity generation. He however encouraged all Zimbabweans to increase the use of solar system.<\/p>\n
President Mnangagwa also expressed his gratitude to all medical doctors who had returned to their posts to offer their services regardless of having been \u2018used\u2019 by other parties with ulterior motives.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoctors came to us asking for an increment, the minister of Finance, Professor Ncube offered them a 30 percent increment which they refused, an offer of a 60 percent increment was made and again it was rejected and the process went on and on with further demands and we are glad that doctors have gone back to work and now they are opening up on how they were being used.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will however continue to engage with leaders of other parties, we will continue to serve the people and we should not be distracted by those that make noise on twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
