Editorial Comment: Three years of this farce is a very long time Minister Moyo

“WE need appropriate fiscal policies, and so far government has done well and has squeezed money supply because there was too much government expenditure and it means that things are going to be tighter to a maximum of three years, and by then we should have done all painful activities and then go to a stage when things are going to normalise,” Foreign Affairs minister Sibusiso Moyo has told the nation, as a matter of fact.

Our take from his tone is that this is someone speaking from some very comfortable perch where they are not even aware of how tough life has become for most Zimbabweans.

Our other take from the “coup poster boy” Moyo’s informed view is that he is probably unaware that industry is fast grinding to a halt because of escalating costs emanating from the fact that it no longer makes business sense to run operations on diesel and petrol generators.
