ZANU-PF director for Information and Publicity Cde Tafadzwa
Mugwadi yesterday said the only noticeable crisis in the country was the one in
opposition political parties that were haggling over leadership and were
suffering from serious policy bankruptcy.
Speaking on a live SABC programme, African Perspective, Cde
Mugwadi said the challenges being faced in the country did not amount to a crisis.
He said besides being hamstrung by economic sanctions
imposed by the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) for over a
decade, Zimbabwe had managed to institute measures to mitigate the devastating
effects of Covid-19.
The high number of recoveries indicated the effectiveness
of measures being implemented by Government.
Cde Mugwadi said opposition parties were resorting to
blackmail by manufacturing spurious allegations of human rights abuses.
“There is no crisis in Zimbabwe. What we have seen as a
crisis is that which is happening in opposition groups, some of which have
become leaderless. We do have a crisis as a nation, we have challenges with
Covid-19 just like any society across the world and we are on course to
addressing that,” said Cde Mugwadi.
Responding to allegations of abductions raised by MDC
Alliance secretary for international affairs, Gladys Hlatshwayo, Cde Mugwadi
said any such cases must be reported to the police.
He gave the example of a Hurungwe MDC-A councillor,
Lavender Chiwaya, whom the opposition claimed was killed by State agents saying
the allegations have since been proven false.
Cde Mugwadi said police had issued a statement ruling out
foul play in the death of Chiwaya. Herald
