The Zimbabwe Freedom has created a score card for Zanu PF ministers who are viewed as having contributed to serious economic crisis in the country.

The rating is A to D. A being given to the ones who excelled in their efforts to ruin the economy and one pretty much failed.

The organisation rated the ministers as follwos, Samuel Undenge, Energy Minister -Rating: A, Ignatius Chombo, Home Affairs Minister -Rating: A, Chris Mushohwe, Information Minister -Rating: B, Patrick Zhuwao, Minister of Youth, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment -Rating: B, Patrick Chinamasa, Minister of Finance -Rating: C and the rest -Overall Mark: A which means they totally failed in their discharge of duty.

"There are many others we could individually rank on the incompetence rankings, but the competition was far too stiff. We don't want to be handling complaints from ministers that we left their ineptitude unrecognized," said Zimbabwe Freedom.

"There was Labour Minister, Prisca Mupfumira, whose only task became that of announcing pay dates, even as the civil service cried for an audit. There was also Obert Mpofu, a long time strong contender in the ineptitude stakes, who is the Minister in charge of bringing in investment. He clearly brought in none, which, by our government's measure, means he is doing a great job."

The organisation said his National Diaspora Policy is surely only meant to taunt Zimbabweans abroad, or meant to grab a few foreign trip per deism.

"There is Jonathan Moyo, whose great STEM initiative would have fooled us, until he was possessed by the spirit of Robin Hood. There is also Industry Minister Mike Bimha, whose rushed import ban sparked riots," said the organisation.

"Not to forget Kembo Mohadi, the State Security Minister. He appeared bored at Chombo's finger wagging press conferences on protests, disappeared for a while, only to reappear at a Malawian prophet's church, receiving a magic cloth."

"And Saviour Kasukuwere, whose idea of work, both in his party and in government, is firing and suspending people. All said and done, only Josaya Hungwe is blameless. The Minister of Liaising on Psychomotor Activities in Education Vocational Training did no wrong. Because he did nothing to start with," it added.

The organisation said as for the rest, we wait with great anticipation to see how harder they work in the coming year to outdo themselves.

"Elections will be on the horizon in 2017, and we know how elections are always an incentive for politicians to be at their worst behaviour," it said.

"The competition will be stiff."
