The Transparency International Zimbabwe (TIZ) executive director, Mary-Jane Ncube, has labelled the unity government corrupt.
"Corruption is one of the major stumbling blocks in moving the country out of the current crisis. This reflects a government which is not listening to the people. People are saying we are sick and tired of corruption and we are experiencing it in every aspect of our lives, but the government is failing to address this issue except making it a political rhetoric," said Ncube during the launch of TIZ Bulawayo office.
Ncube added: "When the unity government was formed parties in the Global Political Agreement agreed to stamp out corruption but they have total failed."
Speaking at the same occasion former president of Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries CZI) Matebeleland chapter, Ruth Labode, said: "Most companies in the city remain closed despite promises by government to release funds to revive them through the Distressed and Marginalised Areas Fund (Dimaf)."
