By Dr Nkululeko Sibanda​​​​| President Nelson Chamisa is very concerned and shocked to discover that the illegitimate President Mnangagwa’s unsophisticated, amateurish PR inspired and on-the-fly policy approach is costing Zimbabwe’s economy at the worst time imaginable. The con-artist styled illegitimate President’s care free and mafia style approach to governance is proving to be dangerously costly.

The offer of land and space for the US President Donald Trump to try and sway US national policy is illegal under US and even Zimbabwean laws. Since the US is a law-abiding country, what the offer now means is that the US Presidentwill, as a result of Mr Mnangagwa’s ill-advised move, have to be extremely careful when making policy on Zimbabwe to prevent being construed as reacting positively because of a private business offer.

Unlike the targeted sanctions, this imposition by Mr Mnangagwa, places a hurdle on President Trump’s policy making processes where Zimbabwe is concerned, whereas targeted sanctions are limited to individuals.

We encourage the illegitimate President to note that, while he runs government business mafia-style, the rest of the world operates legally. Very few Presidents come to power through the capture of state and political institutions. All are inaugurated as a matter of votes received not as a matter of court facts.

Zimbabweans must be ashamed to have a self-imposed President who travels halfway across the globe to try and transport his corruption. What must further concern the people is that Mr Mnangagwa so believes in corruption, he actually has become blind to it, he goes and announces it on foreign television screens.

While Zimbabweans may have expected better, unfortunately, the illegitimate President’s first UN trip has turned out to be aregrettable frenzied announcement bonanza of one bribe attempt after the other. All these in desperate attempts to buy legitimacy on the parallel political market.

Zimbabwe must rid itself of this kind of leadership by returning to legitimacy and allowing the elected President, Advocate Chamisa to run a SMART government.
