Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>By Star Matsongoni<\/b> –<\/p>\n

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa gathered thousands of party supporters during anti-sanctions day in Rutenga Mwenezi Monday against the stipulated 100 people per gathering rule.<\/p>\n

Zanu PF is holding events with more than 100 people while preventing its nemesis, the MDC Alliance from staging the same events.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa himself announced recently that gatherings on any sort must not exceed 100 people.<\/p>\n

Addressing the congregants Mnangagwa said sanctions are affecting the country and must be removed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe target of sanction is to destroy the economy and where there is potential of economic growth, hence we should be able to develop with our own resources,\u201d Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n

Which is directly the the opposite of what he said about sanctions 3 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cZimbabwe should stop complaining about the impact of Western sanctions on the country and instead focus on creativity leveraging available human resources to steer growth and development,\u201d Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n

Masvingo province schools were asked to provide their buses for transportation of party members to Rutenga. Some came as far as Bhuhera just to attend the rally.<\/p>\n

After the rally Mnangagwa launched a Marula plant in Rutenga which he said would be economically beneficial to hundreds of households.<\/p>\n
