'Zanu-PF fails to rig economy'

Economists say average incomes in Zimbabwe are now at their lowest level in 60 years, with more than 76 percent of the country's families now surviving on less than $200 a month.

The situation is now bad that street vendors are openly defying a government directive to vacate the city centre while illegal settlements are mushrooming everywhere as unemployment and poverty levels are skyrocketing.

Zimbabweans have lately been attacking law enforcement agents at the slightest provocation.

The MDC is rubbing it in by saying that Zanu-PF has failed to rig the economy as the opposition said in 2013 after the election.

Meanwhile, Tendai Biti has said that Zimbabwe needs a new matrix of economic direction and vision as Zimbabweans are now making vending a virtue which it is not supposed to be.

He blasted Zanu-PF's celebration of the informalisation of the economy, highlighting how Kwekwe which used to be the industrial hub has become a waste land.
