2023: Year of remarkable victories
AS yet another successful year comes to an end, I cannot express my gratitude enough for the many wins my party has achieved.
THE year 2023 has perhaps been one of the most remarkable years in our history. We won a difficult election that was riddled with all manner of attacks from our detractors.
Even under such difficulties and all manner of reports being written about ZANU PF, we kept the faith, held the ship steady and spurred the nation forward.
We made so much progress this year alone that our detractors are unsettled by the achievements the ZANU PF-led Government has attained under an environment riddled with illegal sanctions from the West.
Zimbabwe has looked within and come up with home-grown solutions that have been instrumental in turning our economy around.
Together with the assistance from countries we consider friends, we have moved forward.
The sheer determination of our visionary leader, His Excellency, President ED Mnangagwa, and the ZANU PF party has made it possible to attract numerous high-impact investments that have spanned all sectors of our economy.
In 2023, there were notable signs that could not be ignored and these are in the form of innovative strides, robust infrastructure development projects, increasing domestic production and employment opportunities for our people.
If 2023 was a year of sowing, then 2024 is indeed the year of harvest.
With our impressive agriculture sector and the US$12 billion mining sector being the pivots of our economy, our great nation is indeed entering a golden age, courtesy of the ruling ZANU PF party and its astute leadership.
So diverse has Zimbabwe’s economy become within a short period that we are the fastest-growing economy in the region.
According to the World Bank, since June 2023, the Government of Zimbabwe has proactively tightened monetary policy to reduce inflation, as well as tame the parallel market exchange rate.
It further extended use of the US dollar as legal tender until 2030.
This has promoted business confidence, by reducing policy uncertainty.
All these efforts have led to positive results for the economy.
Overall, they demonstrate President Mnangagwa’s visionary leadership.
The only hurdle left are the unjustified illegal economic sanctions imposed on our country by our detractors.
There is sufficient evidence that without these impeding sanctions, Zimbabwe’s economy would be even more robust and grow much quicker.
Our victory in the August 2023 harmonised elections can be ascribed to the immense achievements by ZANU PF and President Mnangagwa, who has lived up to each and every one of the promises he made since taking the oath of office.
It is such consistency that has earned the ruling party unparalleled loyalty and trust from the electorate.
Zimbabweans now sleep easy, knowing that ZANU PF is in charge.
Perhaps what has been the greatest lesson in 2023 is that, as Zimbabweans, we can.
All we need is unity of purpose under ZANU PF and we will take our country to economic prosperity.
All these achievements attained in 2023 have been made possible by the immense and immeasurable love for our country that some of us have.
To maintain this remarkable progress, we need to appreciate more the visionary leadership of President Mnangagwa and ZANU PF.
Anything else would mean losing the country to imperialists and their puppets.
As this year comes to an end, I would like to remind our people that Zimbabwe is in good hands, and we are poised for even greater things in 2024.
Happy holidays and a prosperous 2024, fellow Zimbabweans.
