By Jane Mlambo| The opposition MDC has responded to admission by President Emmerson Mnangagwa while addressing his party politburo meeting that he had failed to steer the ship out of murky waters.

In a statement this morning, the MDC said Mnangagwa’s admission to failure while demanding another chance in 2023 was shocking and disrespectful to the suffering Zimbabweans.

“A report in today’s Newsday in which Mnangagwa admits to failure then sensationally demands another term is not only shocking but disrespectful of the suffering Zimbabwean people.

“Once the admission is made that Zanu PF has failed, that closes the matter. A government’s presence in office is for no other reason besides delivery.

“In this case delivery is not there, the economy has collapsed, there is no food, fuel and electricity yet Mnangagwa and Mthuli Ncube have consistently claimed that the country is back on track, while publicly accepting to his Politburo that he has dismally failed to deliver.
Knowing the consequences of failure, Mnangagwa now wants to focus on power retention, service is what keeps people in office,” said MDC in a statement.
