Speaking at the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) plenary meeting at State House in Harare on Thursday, Mnangagwa said:<\/p>\n

We have established that some members of the business community were involved in fuelling the parallel market thereby destabilising our local currency.<\/p>\n

Our economy has been under attack from unscrupulous and nefarious individuals and syndicates bent on sabotaging our way of life.<\/p>\n

The onslaught has created hardships for our citizens due to the inflationary pressures caused by speculation on our local currency.<\/p>\n

I believe that these activities have been caused by a third hand whose objective is to interfere and derail our national development trajectory.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa exhorted companies \u201cnot to be collaborators in these selfish and self-serving efforts that are not in the nation\u2019s collective interest\u201d.<\/p>\n
