Zimbabwe is not open for business: Nelson Chamisa

ZwNews Chief Correspondent

Movement for Democratic Change- Alliance presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa, says Zimbabwe needs to respect the law and property rights before it claims to be open for business.

Chamisa’s comments come after a German miner reportedly send an SOS to his country’s embassy in Zimbabwe alleging that some ZANU PF youths have seized his concern in Gokwe.

According to Chamisa, such acts are retrogressive and in direct contradiction with the ‘Zimbabwe is open for business’ mantra that President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been continuously singing since taking the throne from Robert Mugabe.

“Zimbabwe cannot be open for business when ZANU PF youths continue to invade private investments. Our country needs change, our country needs to respect the law,” says Chamisa.

In a similar incident, former ZANU PF youth leader Kudzanai Chipanga recently approached the courts seeking an interdict barring Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Monica Mutsvangwa from illegally handing over his farm in Headlands to its former owner Andrew Dawson.

According to Chipanga(G40 member), the farm was first earmarked for a state university, but was later allocated to him in 2016, after the university turned down the offer.

Meanwhile, President Mnangagwa recently threatened Tongaat Hulett, a sugar manufacturing company, with unspecified action, which is feared to be a take over. The company was being blamed for not supporting government initiatives.

Probably, in the same light, a lot of investors who recently visited the country have been hesitant in bringing in their money, most of them sitting by the fence waiting until after the elections. zwnews
