    A huge billboard with the beaming face of Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa greets you in his hometown Kwekwe, but can reviving that city's steel industry help him to keep his promise to cut the country's 90% unemployment rate and turn the economy around?pic.twitter.com/RhYosDk8eB

        Government is about now and the future. It is supposed to be about public interest which in Africa,has ironically be turned into a personal project.The performance of government today will be measured by the extent to which the failures of yester-years have been addressed

        Why didn't he revive it when he was in government since 1980? We are sick and tired of ZANU PF's empty promises. There can never be a new dispensation of the old...

        Emmerson Mnangagwa has just proven himself incapable of resuscitating the economy of the country.

        Apparently ZISCO was the life blood of the economy - with it working, the railways could get traffic, Wankie Colliery would get support, the Power station etc.

        They 're on theatre trying to resuscitate a carcass... if they have brand and great minds why not restart and form a new company... repair cost can be greater than replacement costs if led by dull pple

        Nomatter how promising he might be, he seems too small to do a complete overhaul of th fractured, corrupt and insensitive system he preside over. A new face and a new system of government z ZIM's only hope now. #ChangeIsaNecessitNow
