Mugabe a horrible dreamer

President Robert Mugabe has been described as a horrible dreamer for claiming the economy was on a recovery path.
 
Mugabe (92)  in his Independence Day speech, said the country's economy was on a rebound, with a proliferation of resuscitating and newly formed companies.

MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu the country's economy was collapsing under his helpless watch.

"Things are not looking good, but Mugabe seems to be living in his own world that is entirely divorced from reality," Gutu said.

"The message completely failed to address pressing national issues such as the economy that continues to be in a tailspin as deflation is running amok. It was rather bizarre for Mugabe to claim that the economy is improving!

"He is obviously out of touch with reality."

He said Mugabe had virtually turned the country into a nation of loafers and vendors with the unabated closure of companies.

People's Democratic Party spokesperson Jacob Mafume said Mugabe's rhetoric had become "like the sound track of a horror movie".

"He is describing in his message a Zimbabwe that does not exist except in his imagination.

"The height or depth of his failure is highlighted by the fact that his own child cannot even give birth in Zimbabwe, yet he says the country has made significant progress."

Political analyst Vivid Gweshe said Mugabe was divorced from reality as companies were continuing to close rendering many jobless while those in employment were not being paid.

He said what Mugabe sees was not what Zimbabweans were experiencing every day, adding the speech was a mere wish than the reality.
