"We the founders, leaders and supporters of the NPF hereby inform the nation of Zimbabwe that the NPF has disbanded with immediate effect from September 19, 2018"

"He had to handle a lot of internal politics within the party, a lot of politics within the military and for him to be able to handle that and retain his capacity as head of the military showed that he was a tough guy"

"due process will be followed in accordance with the Standing Rules and Orders and the Constitution of Zimbabwe leading to a properly approved motion"

"Emmerson Mnangagwa on assumption of power showed that he was a man who had learned nothing… instead of correcting the mistakes of Robert Mugabe, he went about proving to all of us that Mugabe was actually a saint"

"It’s destroying our economy"

"However, after careful considerations and deliberations our party came to the conclusion that the November 2017 events were in the best interest of Zimbabwe as a nation. To that end, the existence of the NPF is no longer necessary"

"He was very, very respected particularly among the military in Zimbabwe and among the liberation war veterans. His liberation war credentials were pretty impeccable"

"While the issues had been raised as a matter of principle and for the need to contribute meaningfully to this government especially by upholding the oversight function of parliament provided for under Section 119 (3) of the constitution, it is apparent to mention that proof beyond reasonable doubt under the circumstances would be impossible, making such a publication defamatory"

"It is imperative to look at the alternative sources of financing to circumvent the liquidity challenges affecting the country"

"who fought in the trenches to liberate this country"

"How do you claim not to be involved when your ministers appointed under your hand issue statements in support of this illegal and treacherous 2030 agenda"

"Since assuming power, Mnangagwa has neglected civil servants who are now earning slave wages. Our men and women in uniform have lost their dignity even in the eyes of the public due to state sponsored poverty"

"I have no record of theft or corruption, and I will fight corruption in the true sense of fighting it"

"The ability of the sector to attract financing requires that the laws governing mining in the country be transparent and investor friendly"

"The main reason for disbanding the party is that NPF has outlived its purpose. NPF was formed as a response to the events and circumstances of November 2017 that led to the removal of the previous Government of Zimbabwe and in our opinion we perceived it to be a threat to national security and stability"

"As such we deem it expedient and appropriate to disband NPF and also to join and support the Zanu-PF party and Government in its endeavour to build a better Zimbabwe for all unity and loving and progressive Zimbabwe"

"Rex Nhongo, Gen Solomon Mujuru, was just a charred body - one of Zimbabwe's greatest sons"

"The ability of the mining sector to access financing in a depressed economy like the one currently characterising the country requires that the mining companies be innovative and look beyond the border"

"There's definitely going to be a lot of speculation about this, for two reasons: One is [that] his predecessor died in a car crash and also because of what's going on right now in Zimbabwean politics - the issues around the succession"

"Banks will lend to companies that have demonstrably strong cash flows. Some companies have been able to access loans at reasonable rates, so it’s not always a matter of liquidity but of leadership"

"However, in the liquidity constrained environment characterising the country, banks in Zimbabwe are not in a position to meet the capitalisation needs of many players in the mining sector"

"Corruption has become a security threat because these people are being protected by Emmerson. So, as war veterans, including masses, we are being asked, ‘Why did you give us this kind of a person? We no longer like him.’ So, we are pleading with you: Leave peacefully. If you don’t, people will use the constitution for you to go"

"I therefore wish to issue an apology, unreservedly, to Mr George Guvamatanga for the reputational damage the tweets may have caused, and I have made instructions that the tweets be erased with immediate effect"

"We are saying — as war veterans — enough is enough. You have shown that you have failed. It can’t get any worse"

"It is clear to us that Mnangagwa has failed, he is not fit to run this country and his time to go is now"

"systematically targeted and purged war veterans in various arms of government and replaced them with crooks"

"who either belong to his clan or are benefactors to his family through his childen"

"When the military took over, I found it to be very wrong"

"I see empowering our people being the number-one task"

"When soldiers are deployed everyone can see it. You don’t have to imagine. There is a wrong impression that is being created and purveyed through hostile media that things are very bad in Zimbabwe. But the truth is that the police have managed to control the situation"

"GOVERNMENT is yet to begin collecting revenue from the introduced wealth tax targeting the affluent and other shadowy businesspersons named mbingas or zviganandas, despite its legislative approval, Finance"

"But we also know that there will be so many people posing as soldiers. The opposition has been trying their best to get what will appear as camouflage of the Defence Forces in order to confuse people that they have teamed up. But the soldiers are not part of that. Government is in control because there is the police and the Central Intelligence organisation. They will expose this. There is no breakdown of law in Zimbabwe. The police have managed to contain the situation"

"All the armed forces are standing solidly behind the Government. They will not take part in illegal activities that seek to remove a constitutionally elected Government"

"persistent power supply constraints pose risks to industrial and mining productivity, potentially dampening growth prospects"

"For instance, the drastically higher tariffs imposed by the United States on imports from most economies could have direct and indirect effects on the export earnings of the SADC region"

"Volatility in global commodity prices, coupled with constrained access to external concessional financing, may adversely affect export earnings and fiscal stability"

"We came here early in the morning after we were told what had happened. I still thought he might have been badly burnt, it was difficult to reconcile that he actually died - burnt beyond recognition"

"However, economic growth is expected to rebound in 2025 to 6 percent, mainly driven by a recovery in the agriculture, mining, and services sectors"

"This marks a shift from the historical dominance of wholesale and retail trade, reflecting greater industrialisation and financial deepening key indicators of sustainable development"

"The structure of the economy has also fundamentally changed, with the manufacturing sector now leading at 15,3%, followed by mining at 14,5%, and financial services at 10,8%"

"This revision reflects improved coverage of formal and informal businesses and better measurement of economic activity across sectors"

"Turning to our environment, the effects of climate change are no longer abstract"

"Zimbabwe has experienced increased extreme weather events, droughts, floods, and cyclones that threaten ecosystems, agriculture, biodiversity, and human security"

"Currently the Zimbabwean banking sector is characterised by slightly above US$4 billion in deposits of which above 70% are transitory in nature. This on its own is a major handicap of the banking sector to be able to finance mining sector. It is out of these little resources that all sectors require a share"

"The local money markets have failed to take off meaningfully, with local capital market, that is, ZSE also failing to provide an adequate platform for fundraising for economic development. This then calls for the economic players to strategise and look at means of accessing finance from outside the country. We have seen big corporates including Bindura Nickel Corporation taking this route"

"I would like to appreciate the salary we are getting but if you convert the salary we are getting per month, it amounts to US$170 and as an MP you are expected to do everything from that US$170 including looking after your family, servicing the vehicle and everything"

"Hon. Member Chingosho, you have been too pre-emptive"

"I also appreciate the coupons we are getting which are not acceptable in all garages including the garages which are owned by our chefs (leaders). They need coupons which are in US Dollars"

"We could have had a considerable amount of investment, but for the existence of that act"
