1. Many #Zimbabweans think 2008 situation in #Zimbabwe was unique n this has been largely due to the fact that we are so insular n so polarized we look at things in terms of @ZANUPF_Official n @mdczimbabwe. Bt 2008 there was a Global Financial Meltdown.
2. In First World Countries, Governments had to step in to save Financial Institutions from collapse m folding up. There was a Financial Crisis across the World. #Zimbabwe as a country already under sanctions was severely affected coz it had no external credit lines.
3. The ZWD as it was then, was deliberately shorted...yes, attacked deliberately. Many will doubt this but there is precedence to it you know. George Soros once shorted the British Pound itself. Its a deliberate position adapted in the Money Market.
4. #Sanctions wc our ppl hv come to think of as Targeted n on @ZANUPF_Official n Gvt officials n abt human rights are actually a violation of Human Rights themselves. They deprive us of access to basic human needs. How do you fight for human righrs by violating human rights?
5. They are basic regime change tool. The ourpose as enunciated by Chester is to break the relationship btwn the Ppl of #Zimbabwe n @ZANUPF_Official (read Gvt) n therefore cause an uprising. The making of th Economy scream was supppsed to lead to an uprising n then interference
6. From those foreign Gvts. They are surprised it hasnt happened yet. If you dont believe it,read Confessions of an Economic Hitman by #John_Perkins. The @usembassyharare has made Economies of certain Latin American countries scream leading to whats called 'popular uprising'
7. They can do this through their influence and global power over financial institutions, international corporations n aid agencies to throw vasic factors in an economy completely out of control n therefore precipitate social n economic havoc!
8. People are then made to believe its mismanagement of the Economy by the regime, blaminh the turmoil on the Gvt thus separating people from Government. The resilience of #Zimbabwe is what has led to the new angle of torture n abductions to work the human emotion angle
9. The intention is to induce shock, get ppl all riled up n again leading to an uprising. They thought they wld succeed bt it failed. They wanted #ZumbaCornew put on th agenda of #SADC, #AfricanUnion n #UNGA n it failed. You will not these abductions concide with such events.
@Zimposts and @POSBZimbabwe were put up for sale, but neither of the two has been privatised.
According to a recent update from @ZimTreasury: “A new Strategic Plan is being finalized which will determine the timing and the model of the privatization.”
The TSP’s wish, was to get a deal to revive Ziscosteel.
17. An agreement with R & F properties of China for Ziscosteel, signed by the previous administration, was canceled. The TSP supported an alternative plan under which a local company, ZimCoke,
1. Two years ago in TSP, Cde @MthuliNcube( yes, now i easily add the Cde prefix before his name for he has fought a hard fight) promised to reform parastatals among many other things. Today I will take time to share progress on some of the parastatals among other aspects.
2. *Storage Commission*
Launching the TSP, Ncube announced a draft livestock farming concession agreement with UK’s Boustead Beef. Boustead, would take over CSC’s feedlots and abattoirs. Two years on, CSC is nowhere near any rescue, and still US$36 million in debt.
3. According to @MoLAWRR_Zim Minister Anxious Masuka last week, CSC is being placed under reconstruction to protect it from creditors.
“In terms of progress (on a deal to revive CSC), we all know that the expectations have not been met,” Masuka said.

2. Even removed our small grains n replaced with maize( did u know our staple food isnt even native to us?)
They thoroughly brainwashed our minds of the love of anything African n in the end, we are just a bunch of people who simply are animated filing cabinets.
3. So yes, we may make money bt we never translate that to wealth coz what we were taught isnt growing it coz we hv forgotten how we used to grow it ourselves.
Even our writers always write about some rich African who at his death, his children where left with nothing.
