The government has been forced to backtrack on the import ban, Statutory Instrument (SI) 64, in order to save face.
Govt says it is now opening consultations to amend the ban.
The SI 64 of 2016 will come under scrutiny this Monday as stakeholders converge in Harare to deliberate on its impact.
The SI 64 recently introduced by the government, which punishes ordinary Zimbabweans who survive on cross border trading, bans the importation of basic commodities at a time when industries have totally collapsed.
The state media reports that the Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers President, Mr Denford Mutashu said tomorrow’s meeting will be graced by various stakeholders which include officials from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and captains of industry.
While government claims that since the introduction of the statutory instrument, local firms have proved they have the capacity to meet national demand especially those in the oil industry, food processing and furniture sectors.
The policy directive is in sync with the industrialisation agenda of economies in the SADC region.

SHONA HATER you are a Shona. You are a Shona who pretends to hate Shonas. Your great grandfather came from Mashonaland during the time of our great king Mzilikazi. He was one of the people who were being used as cattle headers by our grandfather’s (the real Khumalo’s from Zululand) after being defeated since you Shona’s are cowards. If you read the story of Moses, you will know that even though Moses grew up in Pharoah’s palace, he didnt forget that he was a hebrew. Open you eyes Mr Shona hater, you are from Mashonaland. You real surname is Chaminuka

Mthwakazi taught Shona Gukurahundis what negotiations are all about. The primitive Shona Gukurahundis only know one thing; top down impositions. That is why they are very uncomfortable with the very concept of Democracy!!
