Zanu-PF infighting has destroyed Zimbabwe

Former Presidential Affairs minister Didymus Mutasa says Zimbabwe is destined to remain a nation of street vendors unless post-congress Zanu-PF leaders concentrate on fixing the country's comatose economy rather than their "destructive" factional and succession wars.

Mutasa accused ruling Zanu-PF bigwigs, many of whom are Cabinet ministers, of focusing their energies on accumulating wealth and power instead of the bleeding economy, which has resulted in poverty levels in Zimbabwe reaching their worst point in 60 years.
