Zanu PF sold Zimbabweans a dummy when the ruling party promised to create 2,2 million jobs in the run-up to the 2013 elections, former members Rugare Gumbo says.
With at least 18 000 jobs lost in just two weeks after the Supreme Court's labour ruling allowing employers to terminate workers' contracts by simply giving them three months' notice, People First said Zanu PF had no capacity to create jobs.
People First spokesperson Gumbo blamed the Zanu PF government for creating a hostile business environment which kept investors at bay.
He said the ruling party was now dominated by "greedy and over-ambitious" people who were clueless on finding ways to create employment.
"The problem is that there is very little that the party can do now (to create jobs) because the economy is failing to perform," Gumbo said.
"The other aspect is that the leaders created divisions in that party and now there is no cohesion among the people and no working together. Therefore, no one is in a position to give the best to resolve the crisis."
The former Zanu PF spokesperson said apart from lacking strategy, corruption, greediness and power hunger were contributing to the mess in the country.
