Zanu PF Politburo member Chris Mutsvangwa last night took MDC-Alliance vice president Tendai Biti to task for inviting illegal sanctions that have ravaged the country’s economy.

In a highly-charged panel discussion hosted by Zimpapers Television Network (ZTN) in partnership with the United Nations on Sustainable Development Goals last night, Mutsvangwa said Biti and his peers were conspiring with detractors to smuggle back colonial rule.

“You went to America with your colleagues to ask for sanctions and this is the problem that we have of domestic elements conspiring with foreign countries against their country,” he said.
“This is the bane of Africa.”

Mutsvangwa said the liberation struggle was an essential element of Zimbabwe’s history, adding that people could not develop without knowing their history.

He said freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for all Zimbabweans to enjoy.

Biti said there was nothing special about participating in the liberation struggle.-State media
