By Own Correspondent| Citizens here have taken to social media expressing concern over President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s fruitless engagements which they allege is not bearing fruit for the country’s economy.
On his latest post, Mnangagwa said he had an excellent meeting with India’s Vice President Venkaiah Naidu expressing optimism that engagements between the two countries would create significant benefits for the Zimbabwean people.
Said Mnangagwa:
“I had an excellent meeting with Indian Vice President Venkaiah Naidu this morning. This is the first high-level Indian visit to Zimbabwe in two decades, and a sign of our ever improving relations with one of the largest and most significant economies in the world.
As part of his visit, Mr. Naidu will address the India-Zimbabwe Business Forum, which is being attended by a host of Indian business people who are interested in investing in Zimbabwe.
Our improved relations with the global community will create significant benefits for the Zimbabwean people.”
However, citizens took to Mnangagwa’s facebook page calling on him to concentrate on improving the country’s economy.
Below are some of the comments from citizens:

Chimbidzikai Chirume:
ED if you are really a father figure and a leader.
Urgently engage Chamisa and Biti in an honest and faithful way stop being trapped in a part ideology. Chamisa and Biti have good international relations. If you task them to source funds for the nation. They are well received. They have the capacity to appeal to world bank for debt cancellation.
You loose nothing. But pride will cost you a lifetime fortune. The so called intelligence in Zanu pf is outdated don’t listen to them
No amount of weaponry can fight human intelligence. As long as Chamisa and Biti are active in your government don’t expect better changes. There are so many blind people misleading you in Zanu pf. If the crisis continue with the current pace Zanu pf will swallow you.
The solutions of Zimbabwe crisis is in Zimbabwe. Engage everyone. Engage the opposition to avoid your eminent downfall.
Tawanda Nhubu: Mr president time to be quiet and only act. Political dogma, lavish speeches, promises without results, publicity bla bla bla… We tired sir. Lets feel it, let’s see it, let’s experience it. Do your best to prove Mugabe a failure. Show us you can resurrect Zimbabwe. Study Rwanda, learn from that humble president. Dont fight civilians, stop militarizing the country. Stop using the army to instill fear in the masses. Its an indication of the level of your personal insecurity. Make people appreciate you through works. Live Zimbabwe live.
