Policy discord rocks Mugabe government

Sithembiso Nyoni Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) minister has blasted the Local Government ministry, headed by Saviour Kasukuwere, for encroaching into her portfolio by announcing a ban on housing co-operatives.

Nyoni yesterday said that the so-called ban recently announced by Local Government deputy minister Christopher Chingosho was "null and void", adding housing co-operatives remained legal entities.

Nyoni's remarks further exposed the inherent policy discord in the Zanu-PF government.
