'Zimbabwe should avoid another bloody election,' says Chanakira

AfrAsia Kingdom Zimbabwe founder Nigel Chanakira has challenged political parties in Zimbabwe to conduct a peaceful election in order to save the country from losing potential investors, the Standard reported.

Speaking in Bulawayo last week, Chanakira said Zimbabwe should avoid the repeat of 2008 another bloody election in order to improve its battered investment image.

Chanakira said it was critical for relevant stakeholders and government to put an enabling environment that would woo investors.

Chanakira said Zimbabwe's rankings on "doing business indicators" and "competitiveness indicators" was judged the worst by the World Bank and World Economic Forum and challenged all relevant stakeholders to restore Zimbabwe as a global brand.
