President Emmerson Mnangagwa faced growing pressure yesterday over remarks made by Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi in Parliament that government never promised to solve the current cash crisis in 100 days.

Sworn in days after the overthrow of Robert Mugabe, Mnangagwa promised to guarantee the rights of foreign investors and to re-engage with the West, but his main failing in the eyes of many is his inability to live up to promises to ease cash shortage.

Justice minister Ziyambi on Wednesday told the National Assembly that Mnangagwa never promised the nation that cash shortage will end in his first 100 days in office, in remarks that critics have interpreted as acknowledgement that the promise to end cash shortages in 100 days was pie in the sky.
