Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 35592, member: 636"] Zimbabwe faces many problems that hurt its economy. Corrupt officials, broken trust, bad policies, currency troubles, power outages, less investment, and unclear rules have created a weak economic system. President Mnangagwa wants more power instead of fixing these issues. He created the Mutapa Investment Fund after the disputed August 2023 election. This fund controls 29 government companies worth $16 billion without lawmakers watching over it. The president picks who runs it. His friend Kudakwashe Tagwirei seems to benefit most from this setup. The ruling party shows signs of splitting apart. Former war veteran Blessed "Bombshell" Geza has become a loud critic. He attacked Mnangagwa for ignoring those who fought for freedom. He claims 30 people hog resources that should help everyone. His call for protest on March 31, 2024, connected with many upset citizens. The protest turned out small because the government stops them before they start. Police quietly arrest people before they can demonstrate. About 98 people were detained for planning to join the gathering. The security forces act before protests happen, like something from a science fiction movie. Political change may only come from a split in the ruling party. Mnangagwa might try to stay president until 2031, when he would be 92 years old. This breaks his promise to Vice President Chiwenga who helped him take power. The president has already replaced military leaders with loyal friends to protect himself. The country needs better politics with less greed and more democracy. [/QUOTE]
