This year, regrettably, the government of Zimbabwe is losing the currency it gained by removing former president Robert Mugabe from power.
He knows he should do better than accuse “foreign detractors” of plans to destabilise Zimbabwe. Even if there were such detractors, he must knuckle down and work with fellow Zimbabweans to find solutions.
What is happening proves the adage: to test someone’s character, do not subject them to hostility because anyone can handle adversity - give them power, the ultimate test. At this rate, the Mnangagwa administration is conspiring to fail this test and waste the golden opportunity to make the Second Republic an African turnaround success story.
