VP Mohadi says the government will turn around the economy
whether Americans like it or not.
Mohadi said the
United States, the UK and their allies imposed sanctions against Zimbabwe
because of the land reform programme.
“We took back our land because our land is our wealth. The
land is the anchor of our nationhood and that is why we repossessed our land,
which is why the British decided to impose sanctions against us,” he told a
Zanu-PF rally at Stanley Square in Bulawayo’s Makokoba suburb yesterday, .
“As long we are still there as your leaders, we will
overcome the sanctions because we liberated this country without any help from
the West.
“I therefore urge the people of Zimbabwe to be patient
because I know we have so many doubting Thomases. We are going to turn around
this economy whether they like it or not.”
VP Mohadi said the Government has started engagement and
re-engagement with other countries to drive the economy in line with President
Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030 of achieving an upper middle-income economy.
“Things are going to change economically because through
our re-engagement and engagement efforts we are attracting investments worth
billions of dollars meant to better citizens’ lives.
“We want our per capita to be at least US$1 000 or more a
month and we are going to do that. We have got all the plans in place to achieve that,” he
said.
Mohadi said the Government was aware of clandestine plans
by some rogue opposition activists and the civil society to infiltrate and
capitalise on the anti-sanction campaign scheduled for October 25 to engage in
criminal activities.
“As Government, we have got information that there are
covert plans by some members from the opposition and the civil society who want
to take advantage and infiltrate.
“In fact, they want to engage in acts of violence and
looting shops like what happened in January.
“It is therefore important for police to be ready and they
should be out in full force to deal with such elements,” he said.
Sadc has declared October 25 as the solidarity day against
illegal sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe and resolved to conduct various
activities in their respective countries on the day to resoundingly call for
the immediate removal of the sanctions.
Zanu-PF national political commissar Cde Victor Matemadanda
said the party has lined up a number of programmes to accommodate all political
parties.
