Mnangagwa's vision 2030 is a mirage. He can dismiss those saying so but that does not change the reality. W Mukori.

 President Emmerson Mnangagwa has dismissed political discourse on social media as detached from electoral realities, telling Zanu PF's top leadership that while critics remain active online, the ruling party is focused on winning support at grassroots level.

Addressing the party's Central Committee at Zanu PF headquarters in Harare on Thursday, Mnangagwa contrasted what he described as the "wilderness of social media" with the party's mobilisation efforts in communities across the country.

"Detractors spend their time in the wilderness of social media, with its illusionary false community," Mnangagwa said.

"Zanu PF, on the other hand, is on the ground, in villages and wards, winning the hearts and minds of the people."

The President's remarks come amid growing political debate on social media platforms, where speculation, commentary and rumours about developments within the ruling party have become increasingly common.

Mnangagwa, however, said political success is determined by electoral performance rather than online discussions.

He cited Zanu PF's recent victory in the Tsholotsho by-elections, where the party retained Wards 1, 10 and 21.

Zimbabwe’s economy is in a mess and millions are living in abject poverty. Mnangagwa pushed his ED2030 Agenda which morphed into CAB3 on the promise he would revive the Zimbabwe economy tripling the GDP from US$2k per capita to US$6k - the so called vision 2030. 

Mnangagwa has bullied and bamboozles the nation to get what he wants; CAB3 has been passed and now the nation awaits vision 2030. Alas! There is no sign of any meaningful economic recovery. None! 

As more and more Zimbabweans realise that vision 2030 is a mirage the political unrest will only get worse. Mnangagwa can dismiss the dissenting voices as “detractors spending their time in the wilderness of social media, with its illusionary false community”. But as long as the human suffering continues the demands for meaningful change will only grow louder. 

  

All Mnangagwa cares about is to secure absolute power and hold on to it at all costs. He does not care about the millions living in abject poverty, the consequences of the decades of Zanu PF misrule. History tell us that tyrannical regime will ultimately collapse under increasing mass pressure for change. This Zanu PF dictatorship will collapse, that much is clear.
