'Mugabe' mega deals will remain pie in the sky'

The main opposition MDC-T yesterday described President Robert Mugabe's recent effort to engage Russia, Japan and China for "mega" economic deals as a desperate attempt to cover up his government's failed economic policies, adding the so-called deals would remain "mega pies in the sky".

Mugabe and several government officials have over the past few months been to different countries with the hope of raising funds to resuscitate the economy and inject a new lease of life into the fast-collapsing industrial sector.

These so-called mega deals are, in actual fact, mega pies in the sky. They will never see the light of day," MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu said.  

He added: "No serious entrepreneur wants to do business with the thoroughly discredited and unpredictable Zanu-PF regime. This is a regime that changes goal posts in a flash."
