By Own Correspondent| The only way to a stronger economy is to restructure, rebuild and reform, the Zimbabwean leader Emmerson Mnangagwa has said.

Responding to allegations that Finance minister Mthuli Ncube’s raft of measures were announced without his approval, Mnangagwa said Mthuli’s economic measures were above board and expectations were that they would yield the desired economic results.

He urged citizens not to panic as this was the road to a middle income economy.
