Opposition parties lash out at ‘dreaming’ Mugabe

OPPOSITION political parties and analysts have said President Robert Mugabe’s Independence Day speech on Monday projecting a rosy picture of the country proved that the veteran leader was now disconnected from reality.

MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu said Mugabe’s speech was short on both detail and focus as the country’s economy was collapsing under his helpless watch.

“Things are not looking good, but Mugabe seems to be living in his own world that is entirely divorced from reality,” Gutu said.
