Farai Dziva|The MDC Youth Assembly has vowed to take on Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government over the prompt ban on the use of the United States dollar as legal tender.

In an interview with ZimEye.com MDC Youth Assembly spokesperson Stephen Chuma said:

“It is unfortunate that the Emmerson Mnangagwa believes he can fix the economy through command economics.

Even an Ordinary level economics student can clearly see that the root of our problems is political.

The economic meltdown is just a symptom of a legitimacy crisis emanating from a disputed election hence banning of foreign currency as a way to fix economy can only make sense to cow boys.”

He added:” It is quite clear that the move to ban foreign currency is a short circuit decision to silence the military and other civil servants who are demanding to be paid in forex since basic prices of goods are being charged in forex.

Unfortunately, it will not work because the people through mass action will in turn ban from Munhumutapa offices those who ban the use of forex.”
