There is no Hatred in Clement Manyathela's questions, Zimbabweans never want to accept that Zanupf corruption places them.where they are today and not sanctions. Zimbabwe is a sovereign country it must not abdicate its responsibilities for its citizens

That UN report was not very correct. Sanctions or no sanctions, how many vehicles were in Mugabe's convoy? And how many in ED's? How much gold is being smuggled out? Why are you permanently in South Africa? A lot of people wouldn't be in the diaspora if govt was accountable to the people. Zanu inoita chigandanga, they are still in guerrilla warfare mode 45 years after independence. They have to move from war mode to civilian mode. They create enemies and in true Nazi fashion talk over and over about the enemy, the west...What's the meaning of independence if we keep whinging and groveling about the previous colonizer and oppressor? Independence means the ability to be self reliant. Look at Cuba, sanctioned in 1959 but they have the best Healthcare system in the Caribbean. Leaders need to be resourceful and accountable.

Wow, it’s so rich coming from an educated fool who is an international orphan.

@mandlabafo Leave South Africans alone you and your Shona government is practicing apartheid against the Ndebele people in Zimbabwe

👀Questions are asked in order to get clarity. You are doing what the ambassador should’ve done to Clement. Not that you are correct 🤷🏿‍♂️but you cant attack him for asking. You see! the reason why Zimbabwe doesn’t work is that all smart Zimbabwean are just not smart enough🤞🏾🤣🤣

Well argued. There was no Zimbabwe or South Africa once upon a time. We were just people. When we fought this wars, we were just freeing our people, not Zimbabweans or South Africans but our people. I the we over-relaxed when we won these wars and they beat us twice. That is why I feel the land reform program in Zimbabwe must be finalized. The people must have their land. People must be empowered. A government of an empowered people will always perform better than any other.

Black people that work for 702 radio a very conditioned, this is expected from them. What I hate about your post is that you attack all black South African journalists and not address this directly to clement. This shows how like him you are. You are spreading propaganda by manipulating facts.

Rutendo, I don’t ever hear you talk about what the negative impact of the Zanu-PF led government has done to Zimbabweans. So many things went wrong before year 2000 and to this day. CHRONOLOGY OF ZIMBABWE’s ECONOMIC COLLAPSE 🇿🇼 *1997 – $50000 TO WAR VETS WITHOUT BUDGET.* War veterans hold a serthxies of protests against Mugabe, pressing for gratuities and pensions. Mugabe buckles, and orders Finance Minister Herbert Murerwa to dole out ZW$50,000 each to over 50,000 war veterans. Total bill =ZW$3.5 billion. None of it is in the budget. Mugabe dismisses concerns, including from Murerwa, that the spending will bankrupt the economy. 🇿🇼 *CHAOTIC LAND GRAB.* The Government announces its intention to list more than 1,400 farms, many of them productive, for redistribution to landless blacks. The IMF and other donors threaten to pull out. 🇿🇼 *FISCAL INDISCIPLINE.* spread that foreign reserves are down to just a month’s worth of imports. Speculators, panicked by the flurry of bad news, start stocking up on US dollars. Desperate, the Government injects US$15 million to try and prop up the economy but its too late. 🇿🇼 *BLACK FRIDAY.* November 14, the Zimbabwe dollar plunges 72%. The stock market crashes 46%. That same day, by coincidence, there is a national blackout. The day comes to be known as “Black Friday”. In the aftermath, Government orders companies to shut down their foreign currency accounts, hoping the flow of US dollars onto the market will put brakes on the Zimdollar’s slide. But it has the opposite effect; confidence collapses even further, as does the stock market and the Zimdollar itself. Investors head for the exits. McDonalds, the US fast food giant, abandons plans to open its first outlet in Zimbabwe. 🇿🇼 *1998 – NATIONWIDE RIOTS.* Riots hit the country in January after the price of basic goods rises by up to 50 percent, blamed on the collapse of the Zimdollar. Maize meal prices rise by 45% within a week. Army is deployed for the first time in years to quell the riots. “They will not hesitate to shoot,” Home Affairs Minister Dumiso Dabengwa warns. 🇿🇼 *1998 - DRC WAR.* Government introduces price controls and a range of tariffs on imports. In August, Zimbabwe enters the DRC war. Some estimates said the country spent US$1m a day to fund the war, further weakening the local currency. 🇿🇼 *1999 – FOREX SHORTAGES* Zimbabwe runs out of forex. Zimbabwe has defaulted on most of its foreign debt by mid-year. The IMF finally confirms its intention to withdraw funding. This leads to further exchange controls. The Government fixes the Zimdollar rate at $38 to USD way above its true value. 🇿🇼 *2000 – CABINET RESHUFFLING* Murerwa is reshuffled out. On August 1, new Finance Minister, Simba Makoni, bows to market pressure and devalues the Zimdollar to $55 to the USDollar, still lower than the parallel market rate of $60 for a USDollar. In the same week, unions, businesses and activists stage a nationwide stay away to protest the economic crisis. 🇿🇼 *2001 — RBZ PRINTING MONEY* A $500 note is issued, and is followed by another different $500 note within weeks. A $5 coin is also introduced. 🇿🇼 *2002 – MAKONI FIRED.* Mugabe rejects Makoni’s pleas for further devaluation. “Devaluation is sinister and can only be advocated for by our saboteurs and enemies of this government,” Mugabe tells him. Makoni is soon fired, and Murerwa is reappointed. Government shuts down all bureaux de change, accusing them of being “conduits” of illegal forex trade. 🇿🇼 *2002 IMF SUSPENSION* In June, the IMF suspends technical assistance to Zimbabwe because of arrears amounting to US$132 million. This had nothing to do with SANCTIONS. 🇿🇼 *2003 – RBZ PRINTS TRAVELLERS CHEQUE.* The RBZ introduces what it calls traveller’s cheques, in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $20,000, $50,000 to $100,000. Zanu PF loots a lot of travellers cheques from RBZ. They are hugely unpopular and are soon quietly phased out.

Dear Rutendo, You will not blackmail us with your BS, go away with your rubbish. Zimbabweans are violating the immigration laws of our country, now you're coming with a whole lot of baseless BS to defend to criminality. Not even SA lost 600000 lives in the fight against apartheid

Zimbabwe doesn't even have one university that is rated under top 100 worldwide. But you the nerve to say mzansi journalist are illiterate. Mzansi is flooded with stinking armpits of Zombies pretending to be highly educated while brainwashed by Eurocentric belief system from UK.
