Economy flourished when Mpofu was mines minister - Zanu PF official

Zanu PF youth member Fidelis Fengu has said during the time when Obert Mpofu was Mines minister the economy flourished and since he left all has nose dived insinuating that the current minister of mines Walter Chidakwa is miss managing the diamonds resources at Marange.

"A Random thought," said Fengu. "When Obert Mpofu was Minister Mines ma diamonds aifaya.... ana Mbada, Anjin, Marange, etc did well...Economy was a bit liquid. Then he left. Well here finish. What then becomes the conclusion of the matter?"

Mlungisi Ncube said he thinks Mpofu had had somewhat tangible results, despite some unclear operations.

Emily Ndawana said its not about minister Chidhakwa being incompetent at work.

"But there's no cheap diamond mining at Chiyadzwa nowadays those companies used to mine alluvial diamond which was easier, but now there's conglomerate diamond which need heavy machinery. those companies didn't even invest in those machines that's why its failing," she said.
