Zimbabwe's former finance minister Tendai Biti says he has no faith in the new look Zanu PF team, including newly-minted vice presidents Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekhezela Phoko, and their capacity to pull Zimbabwe out of the political, economic and social abyss.
Biti, who is currently in Washington DC as a visiting fellow at the Centre for Global Development where he is working on issues that affect fragile states, debt management, re-engagement with international financial institutions, economic recovery, among other issues, said Zimbabweans need to start looking to the youth for their salvation.
Biti told a meeting here Tuesday that the recent reshuffle of positions both in the ruling Zanu-PF and cabinet was a non-event, adding Zimbabweans must look to the youth and progressive elements in the country for a change in the nation’s trajectory.
