Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>AS Zimbabweans continue to suffocate under the hyperinflation environment and many other challenges, President Emmerson Mnangagwa says much has been achieved by the Second Republic in last five years.<\/p>\n

Addressing thousands of supporters bussed from the country\u2019s 10 provinces for the Zanu PF 2023 election manifesto launch in Chipinge on Saturday; Mnangagwa said many of the country\u2019s problems were taken into account and his administration had taken steps to resolve them.<\/p>\n

This is despite the fact that many of the 2018 promises made by his government were not met owing to several reasons such as corruption, bad policies and bad governance.<\/p>\n

Among the promises that were not achieved, to name just a few, included ensuring consistent economic growth of at least 6% per annum for the period 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n

The issuing of land security tenure documents i.e. 99 year leases and A1 permits. This has not been done as most farmers await the said leases.<\/p>\n

Compensation of former white farmers in line with the provisions of the national constitution remains unresolved.<\/p>\n

The amendment of the Mines and Minerals Act (Chapter 21: 05) is yet to take place while other laws have been aligned to the constitution or amended.<\/p>\n

The revival of the National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) and revamping the country\u2019s outdated railway infrastructure remains on the pipeline.<\/p>\n

Like during the days of the late former President Robert Mugabe, the ruling party has however, attributed the failures to sanctions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe heard your grievances through your leaders and we are addressing them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Second Republic has fulfilled many of its promises. We resolved the fuel crisis, we resolved electricity shortages. After Hwange Units 7 and 8, we are building more power stations and as we speak we no longer have load shedding,\u201d President Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n

However, unemployment rate, load-shedding frequency, exchange rate disparities and a spiralling inflation rate continue to haunt the nation.<\/p>\n

The ZW$ has depreciated against the US dollar in the past few months and is at around ZW$ 10 000 to US$1 on the parallel market.<\/p>\n

Citizens\u2019 salaries have also been eroded.<\/p>\n

However in his speech, President Mnangagwa urged supporters to produce locally adding this would counter the west imposed sanctions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Zimbabwean change your mind-set and start producing locally. We should not rely on imports and I know our people are talented and sharp; they are coming up with innovations to produce locally.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Second Republic\u2019s main priority is to bust sanctions through producing for ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are doing this through various programs such as Pfumvudza,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n

According to President Mnangagwa, the manifesto campaign launch was done in honour of the national hero Ndabaningi Sithole who was recognised almost 23 years after his demise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe democracy and one man one vote that we enjoy today came as a result of Zanu PF. This is why we decided to launch our campaign here in honour of Cde Sithole.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we decided to honour founding president Ndabaningi Sithole and Manicaland produced many revolutionaries like Rekayi Tangwena and Herbert Chitepo and we honoured them.<\/p>\n

He called for peace and unity in the run -up to the elections scheduled for August 23, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we go for elections we should all shun violence because Zanu PF is a peaceful party.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call for peace, unity and harmony. We must preserve peace despite the backgrounds we are drawn from,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n
