PRESIDENT Mnangagwa has urged the country to remain vigilant and focused on growing the economy, saying Government is putting in place measures to absorb shocks caused by the conflict.
Addressing mourners at the triple burial of national heroes Cde Elison Mupamombe, Cde Cosmas Chiringa and Retired Major-General Herbert Chingono, President Mnangagwa said the conflict had shaken the global economy but assured the nation that Government is fully aware and addressing the situation.
“I address you at a time of an ongoing conflict in the Middle East,” he said.
“The impact of that war has shaken the entire globe, including here in our beloved motherland, Zimbabwe. While my Government has put in place measures to shield us from unforeseen and potential shocks, we must remain vigilant and focused.
“Nyika inovakwa, inotongwa, inonamatigwa nevene vayo/Ilizwe lakhiwa, ngabanikazi balo’. libuswe, likhu-le-ke-lwe”
Government, he said, will continue with its economic transformation agenda.
“Meanwhile, we will continue to structurally transform our economy, ensuring that our finite resources are processed and value-added at source, for the benefit of our people,” said the President.
“Our partners and investors across all sectors, particularly in mining, have a duty to ensure durable and mutually beneficial collaboration.
“The doors of my Administration remain open for complementary economic relations.”
President Mnangagwa described the three national heroes as patriotic and loyal servants who gave their life to the nation since the liberation struggle.
