Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF spokesperson, Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa<\/b>, has praised the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) bloc for its diplomatic and political support, which he said enabled Zimbabwe to overcome long-standing \u201cillegal sanctions\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mutsvangwa emphasised the significant economic benefits that BRICS brings to Africa, particularly in terms of affordable markets, capital sources, and cutting-edge technologies that promote information and financial inclusivity globally.<\/p>\n

According to Mutsvangwa, the BRICS alliance has played a pivotal role in rescuing Zimbabwe from the fate suffered by other nations, such as Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. He credited BRICS nations for their critical 2008 United Nations Security Council veto against comprehensive sanctions on Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Highlighting Zimbabwe\u2019s potential as Africa\u2019s fastest-growing economy, Mutsvangwa noted the influx of investments from BRICS entrepreneurs into the country\u2019s resource-rich sectors. He made the remarks at the BRICS Media Forum, hosted by Xinhua News Agency with the support of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC). The forum preceded the BRICS Summit, which is scheduled for August 22-24. The forum aimed to strengthen media dialogue for a shared and unbiased future, under the theme \u201cBRICS and Africa.\u201d He said:<\/p>\n

Africa, a continent with a youthful and growing population of 1.2 billion is suddenly in the glowing limelight of international attention. Africa has to render gratitude to the economic resurgence of the BRICS and other emergent economies. The BRICS fraternity is increasingly offering new and exciting and affordable markets for goods and services, new sources of capital doing away with regimented imperialist dictates to economic development and advanced and even leapfrogging technologies that promote information and financial inclusivity in a global village.<\/p>\n

As we speak, Zimbabwe is poised to become Africa\u2019s fastest growing economy. We have an influx of world-class entrepreneurs from the BRICS fraternity pouring investment into our resource-rich nation. Our well-educated and easily skill-able labour force is ever keen and ready to turn invested capital to profits.<\/p>\n

BRICS saved us from the fate that befell Sadam\u2019s Iraq, Gaddafi\u2019s Libya, and Afghanistan among others. I salute Pretoria, Tshwane, Moscow and Beijing for the 2008 United Nations Security Council veto on comprehensive sanctions against Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Both me and my wife are candidates for the Senate seats. By the way, our marriage goes back to our wartime comradeship. We are a liberation struggle foot-soldier couple. Our bond is entangled in the political soul of Africa\u2019s liberation. We are committed to anything that spells a redemptive course to the continent\u2019s enduring aspirations. Me and Monica are surrogates of the Soweto and Samora Machel revolutionary spirit.<\/p>\n

We are here even as we are in the final lap of our elections. All because we put premium to the work of the mirror as the image of BRICS at work. We owe our imminent electoral good fortunes to the BRICS.<\/p>\n

There are huge lithium processing plants for New Energy Electric Vehicles. More work is witnessed in requisite energy generation and transmission. Water storage, pipe systems, building of a new port in nearby Beira, the second city of Mozambique, railway, road and accompanying logistics are the hallmark of the beckoning transformation for Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

He also praised Zimbabwe\u2019s educated and adaptable workforce, ready to convert invested capital into profits.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Mutsvangwa urged BRICS nations to dispatch reporters to Zimbabwe to document the mouth-watering multi-billion-dollar investments, including projects related to steel blast furnaces, lithium processing plants, energy generation, water storage, transportation infrastructure, and more.<\/p>\n
