By Own Correspondent| President Emmerson Mnangagwa has promised to resolve the biting fuel and foreign currency shortages threatening to bring the economy into recession.

Addressing mourners at the burial of the late liberation war hero Misheck Velaphi Ncube at the National Heroes’ Acre, said Zimbabwe was poised for economic boom regardless of the challenges it is facing at the moment.

Said Mnangagwa:

“We are currently facing various economic challenges in our country such as the foreign currency and fuel shortages. However, I assure the nation that my administration will resolve these issues without fail.

Meanwhile, our business people at every level must be ethical in their conduct, the rebuilding of our economy is everyone’s responsibility.

I urge us to also remain vigilant and alert in upholding peace and considering our national interests in all that we do, as we move forward on the path towards growth and prosperity. Our country means men and women like the late national hero we lay to rest today.”-Newsday
